“Anna did a great job with our 2 big dogs! She had a couple of sticky situations (one dog getting sick and the bedroom door knob falling off) and she handled them like a pro. Will absolutely rebook with her”
“Our fur babies love Brittney! She is great with them! Our dogs are a little extra sometimes but she has no problem dealing with them. She is our favorite go to sitter for our pups. 🐶 😊”
“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.”
“Katie was amazing with our Ryder. It was the first time he had a sitter by himself since his brother passed. She took him on walks and sent plenty of videos and pictures. We would definitely use her again. Thank you for your patience and kindness with Ryder:”
“Allison did AMAZING with our girls. We always get nervous about new people with our pups but she did a great job making us feel comfortable and sending updates/pictures! Our girls were happy and worn out when we got home. :) We will definitely be using Allison again, she goes above and beyond! Very happy with our house sit.”
“Maddie was amazing! She stayed at our house to watch our two dogs, and they absolutely loved her. She was super nice, kept us updated with photos, and took great care of them. We came home to 2 very happy pups. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter— highly recommend & we will definitely be using her again!”
“Chloe was a repeat sitter and would 100% rebook. She constantly communicated about the dogs and what they were doing. I appreciate her attention to detail so much! I know Luna and Banjo love her too!”
“Brooks was excellent at taking care of our dog Cooper while we were away. They were very attentive and gave regular check ins on how Cooper was doing and what he was up to. The also administered medication as requested and followed all care instructions. I would definitely use them again in the future for my pet sitting needs!”
“We’re very grateful for the wonderful care Abby provided for our two pampered Maine Coons while we were away on a six-day vacation. From the start, Abby was communicative, reliable, and kind—and our cats clearly felt it too! We came home to happy cats and our house just as we left it—Abby is trustworthy, kind, and great with animals. Five stars!”
“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.”
“Tyler was great, our one dog is very skittish around anyone but us. Then I get pictures of her on his lap on the couch chilling, he must have the magic touch. Will definitely recommend and use again.”
“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.”
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.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, so this has always just been second nature to me. I started dog sitting around 16 and have been doing it for about 6 years now. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their dogs over the years and I genuinely love every dog I meet. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, but my parents are home and can let your pup out, so they won’t be stuck inside all day. I’m fully available before 9am and after 6pm on weekdays, and completely free on weekends. Your dog will always have someone around. Your dog will be staying in a family home where they’re treated like one of our own. We already have a yellow lab who is super friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your pup will have a built-in buddy. My parents are home throughout the day to check in, let them out, and give them attention while I’m at work.
“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!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ravenswood
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ravenswood
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.

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.
