“Brady went above and beyond taking care of our dogs through a medical situation. He was very communicative and responded promptly to any requests! He also didn't hesitate to include our bonus animals (aquariums/caged) in his care.”
“Brittany was great with my pup! She was very responsive in booking, came over and met her, and took great care of her. She was an amazing houseguest and I was so thankful to have her. Will 100% book her again!!”
“Christina was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pets while we were away. We have two big dogs and three cats, and they all settled in with her super quickly and were very comfortable! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and also took great care of our home. We definitely would have Christina pet sit again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Jacob! My husband and I recently moved to Indianapolis from Fort Lauderdale to be closer to family, and I’m excited to start caring for pets in our new city. I’m the proud dad of two 4-year-old French Bulldogs, Aspen and Onyx. As anyone with Frenchies knows, they can be high-maintenance health-wise, so I’m used to paying close attention to breathing, temperature, activity levels, and overall comfort. I take the best care of my own dogs and will do the same for yours. I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 15 years (mostly informally for family and friends). Over the years I’ve had Black Labs, Golden Retrievers, and Dachshunds, plus cats growing up. I’ve also raised macaws, sugar gliders, and other exotic pets, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities. Your dog or cat will get calm, consistent care from someone who genuinely loves animals. I currently offer: • Dog walking (short or long) • Drop-in visits • House sitting I’m in nursing school, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and holidays (I’ll block off the occasional cruise dates in advance). I’m calm by nature but have plenty of energy for walks of any length, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine and sleeping arrangements work best for your pet. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members and giving them the attentive, loving care they deserve. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm in nursing school (mainly online classes at the moment), which keeps my schedule flexible and varied week to week. I'm available weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can typically accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on what your pet needs. The only exception is the occasional cruise I'll block off well in advance. If you need a consistent daily routine or last-minute coverage, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits. My schedule is very flexible. I only provide care in your pet's own home, so they get to stay in their familiar environment, routine, and space rather than adjusting to somewhere new. As a Frenchie dad to two dogs with health needs, I'm naturally attentive to safety — checking that gates, doors, and yards are secure, keeping a close eye on eating and bathroom habits, and watching for any signs something's off. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I'm always reachable for updates or questions while you're away.
“Rhonda was wonderful!! I just rescued this dog and she has some challenges. Rhonda did a great job dealing with her issues and making sure that everything went well. I will definately use her again in the future.”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gus! He seemed really at ease and relaxed while we were gone and Allison sent so many updates, videos, and photos which I appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Allison again, can’t say enough good things!”
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
“Courtney was great with the dogs and our anxious boy took to her well. She only stayed one night but made our return home very pleasant because she also did some unexpected cleaning-my favorite thing to come home to after a trip. She was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”
About: I grew up with two cats and two dogs and I have always loved animals. I cannot currently have pets where I live, so I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend! I am currently a full-time grad student in an online program. I do most of my work remotely and I have a flexible schedule. I will do what it takes to help your furry friend feel comfortable, safe, and loved! I also understand that it can be worrisome to not be with your little one, which is why I will send updates to assure you they are well taken care of when you are away.
“Tyler was fantastic! We have an exceptionally high maintenance pup, and Tyler took care of him with ease. We appreciated Tyler's frequent communication and daily photos. We will definitely book him again for future dog-sitting needs!”
About: Im new to rover but not new to pets. Ive been giving pets the care they need for about 5 years. I have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes, pets with high and low energy levels and seniors also. I cherish caring for all pets and believe all pets deserve the same amount of love, care and patience. Weekdays I am available Monday through friday 7am - 6pm. I also can go later if needed. I am also available in the colder months I am also very aware of the safety of your pet during walks and am extra cautious of allergies, anxieties and the comfortability of your pet. I also am very big on reading body language and giving your pet personal space when needed.
About: I have been a trusted pet sitter by family members, neighbors, friends, and coworkers for over ten years. I have experience with all kinds of critters, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I recently lost my senior rescue cat to cancer, so I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. My goal as a pet-sitter and dog-walker is to make your pet as happy as can be until their favorite people come home! I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and would be able to provide in home visits or dog walks anytime throughout the day. My availability is more flexible on weekends. I am very adaptable and experienced with animals, so I am willing to learn and follow any instructions given to best care for your pet.
“I can’t recommend Gabriela enough! She helped me out on very short notice, and I’m so grateful she was available. My dog can be a handful—he’s big (around 100 pounds) and very affectionate—but she handled him with so much patience and confidence. It’s clear she really understands dogs, especially larger breeds, and knows how to manage their energy while still giving them the love and attention they need. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great with dogs, Gabriela is the one!”
About: I have ample experience watching my friend's energetic dog. At first he was shy around me, but I was able to gain his trust and now we're buddies! :) I am doing only gig work at the moment while I am learning languages and upskilling. My schedule is very flexible and that allows me to adapt to your pet's specific needs. I pay close attention to promptings from the pet of needing additional attention and care. I also pay attention for feedback on the pet's feelings about their food.
“Overall, Kellsey did great with caring for my dogs! My girls can “pout” a bit while I am away and she made sure that she messaged me to ensure that they were ok and that it was normal. She was able to meet my girls before my trip so that I knew they got along well!”
“Maddie did a great job with our dog, Rory. Rory is paralyzed in her back legs and Maddie was able to handle all of the extra effort that came with that. I definitely recommend Maddie!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ravenswood
Courtney was great with the dogs and our anxious boy took to her well. She only stayed one night but made our return home very pleasant because she also did some unexpected cleaning-my favorite thing to come home to after a trip. She was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again.
Heather was a wonderful dog sitter! She was gracious and attentive in our meet and greet, asking good questions. She stayed in touch with us and reassured us that our senior dog was doing well. The house was spotless and sheets changed when we got home. She left a good-bye card for us and a note with last minute messages in it. We appreciated all her efforts on behalf of our dog and us.
Sofia was so fantastic in communicating before and during Michigan’s sitting. Felt totally comfortable leaving Michigan with her and giving her total access to my house while away. She even took pictures to check in during the sitting. I highly recommend Sofia to other pet parents. 10/10
Lauren has been amazing! She’s stayed at our house twice to watch our husky, Eva, while we’ve been out of town for work, and we couldn’t be happier. She takes great care of Eva, keeps us updated, and always leaves the house just as we left it. It’s a huge relief knowing Eva is in such good hands when we’re away.
Alexandra was fantastic! We have booked with her twice to stay with our 10 year old dog. It was clear our dog was well loved while we were gone! She has high anxiety particularly with storms and fireworks, and Alexandra paid particular attention to this for us while we were gone over the 4th of July. She was a great communicator and very respectful. Left our home in great condition and will absolutely book with her again!
Regan was absolutely amazing while staying at our home and caring for Lola. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping me updated with messages and photos so I always knew Lola was doing well. It was obvious that Regan genuinely spent quality time with Lola...playing with her, giving her attention, taking her on walks, and making sure she felt loved while we were away. She went above and beyond, even getting up in the middle of the night to let Lola out when needed. Regan treated both my home and my dog with so much care and respect. I would absolutely have her stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.
I can not provide enough positive feedback about Justin. He is professional, personable, responsible, proactive and extremely trustworthy. I have never left my chihuahuas, with anyone except a close family member, until Justin. I hope that Justin, will watch my fragile babies again! HE is amazing!
Holli & Susan are absolutely incredible!! We had them watch our three dogs (2 chihuahuas & 1 husky shepherd mix) for the first time for 4 nights and 5 days and they were so kind. They send us photos every day and communication was excellent the house was spotless when we came back too. I would highly recommend them!! They are the best!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. Eileen was incredibly attentive and patient and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Not only were my dogs well cared for, but my home was too. Everything was kept tidy, secure, and exactly as I left it. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets and your home with real care, Eileen is the person you want. Truly outstanding service and someone I’ll absolutely book again.
Tyler took great care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away. He responded quickly to messages and gave updates about how they were doing with pictures. Our dog is pretty anxious, so it really put my mind at ease to see pictures of him playing, on a walk, or cuddling on the couch. It’s clear the pets felt comfortable with him. He followed our instructions/routines with no problem, and fed my fish which was much appreciated! He left the house in great condition - you’d never know anyone had been here. We plan on rebooking with Tyler in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ravenswood on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,513 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ravenswood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ravenswood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ravenswood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ravenswood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ravenswood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
