“Jordan followed every instruction to the T. She was very polite, professional, responsive and communicative in the months of planning leading up to our big trip. The only mishaps while we were away were handled adeptly without stress or drama and Jordan even made one more visit to care for everyone when our return flight came in later than planned. We arrived home (from being thousands of miles away for a week of almost no cell service) to find our +20 member fur family happy, well fed and not at all worse for the wear. The house was just as we had left it. We truly look forward our next opportunity to book Jordan. Mahalo nui Jordan- you made a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion happen. We are so grateful we had your care here at home so we could be away to make these priceless memories!”
“Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meeting set up to introduce her to my pup and he loved her. I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, and I couldn't be happier. Would recommend! Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know him, and he loved her right away. While I was away, I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly understanding and flexible when I experienced flight delays on my way home, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Charlotte was the perfect house sitter. My house was just as I left it when I got home. More importantly, my dog, Polly, received the best of care. Charlotte sent me pics several times during my absence and I returned to a happy, healthy pet.”

About: Home sitting/petsitting/dogwalking with animals of all ages from hyperactive kitties to senior dogs with diabetic injection/ medical needs. Ready to accommodate and adapt to your pet (and your) needs. Fluent in English and Spanish I have always liked animals but my mom slowly developed severe allergies to almost all furry animal dander and so my liking to animals turned into a deep love and appreciation when I could no longer have them as part of our family. I have a pet bird named Willow and I'm in process of rescuing a pigeon. 🚫Only animals I do not offer services for are insects and snakes Animal care is currently my main focus again as I am not traveling nor working full time - I only work my Hospital job 4-6 days a month hence my flexible schedule Ready to accommodate and adapt to your pet (and your) needs. Nothing is too silly or high maintenance please let me know how I can help Communication is key 🔑 I will happily hear about any quirks or needs
“Alexandria was a stand-out from the first interaction. I knew she was paying close attention to instructionsand concerns, because she would repeat back to me her understanding of why it was important to mention. She also offered assurances on points that I might not have thought of. I have two dogs, and I was worried about her getting pulled down stairs or losing control, because they are strong. I was grateful that she offered a solution to that right away, suggesting she be accompanied by her friend. Without hesitation, she supplied the friend's ID. Terrifically helpful was receiving a text message from her the day of our big night out while we were busy with other things, so it was a good reminder and a timely one that she was planning to be punctual and would let us know when she was 15 minutes out. It was additionally helpful that she was so flexible with changing the start and end time. We offered her the option of leaving when we were delayed in returning, but she insisted it was no problem to stick around, and she and her friend gave a thorough report of snacks as directed and digestive outcomes on walks. We're still enjoying the pictures and videos of our dogs' time together with Alexandria. Hope we have opportunity to book again.”
“Jorden was very nice. He took good care of the dogs. There weren't messes to clean up when we got home. We were very happy with our choice to have him watch our pets. we would do it again.”
About: I’ve had a multitude of dogs my entire life all with different breeds, personalities, and needs. I adore animals with my entire heart so I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sorts. I currently have two dogs of my own one which is younger and loves to play and one who is older and prefers to be on her lonesome. I have owned and been around dogs of all sizes, big or small, it has never bothered me. I have dealt with a few pets who had medical needs involving distributing medications orally or through physical shots, so allowing pets to feel comfortable and safe with me is something I am familiar with! I am currently at home most of the day, so almost anytime works for me to care for your pets. I have no issues taking time to attend to any dogs needs as it would be easy for me to accommodate them into my schedule! I am a very particular and specific person, so being able to properly care for your pet is my main priority. I pay great attention to any major and/or minor details that may be significant to the success care for a pet and apply those needs smoothly and effectively! If I ever need to perform drop-in’s I will apply all these regulations during my visit and make sure everything is left just how it was found. As I stated I have dealt with a few pets who had medical needs involving distributing medications orally or through physical shots so I am completely comfortable performing these services!

“Very happy with Patrycja. She dog sat last weekend and I felt she gave my Ivy a great amount of attention and exercise. She even washed the sheets before she left, which was an unexpected bonus! Would definitely use her again.”
About: I have two daughters who love dogs. They will play with them all day and give them all the attention they need. We have done dog-sitting from drop-in visits to dog boarding and daycare. We enjoy getting the feel of having a dog so our favorite is dog boarding. Our family has a pretty open schedule, we do not own any pets so there will be no worry about endangering your little pup. I have a very large yard and many close parks. I have cared for dog breeds such as an Australian shepherd dog, Black Labrador, Mini Goldendoodle, and Shih Tzu. So, any dog breed big or little, young or old will be well- cared for in this household. The dog/s would be cared for by my two daughters, one age 17 and the other age 20 and by me. I also live with my husband and my oldest son at age 21. If your dog loves kids, our family will be well-suited for you. My husband and I also work from home, so anytime daycare is needed our schedule is open! We work from home. Sonwe are available all day with flexible schedules. We are open to all dogs. We have had fosters and dogs that require medicine. We have a fenced yard and we interact with them all day. We both work from home and my teenage children help after school and on home college visits.
“Thank you so much for caring for my fish, pups, and plants. I hope you were comfortable. I would definitely book again. I would even like to see your band play again. I really enjoyed the last time. I follow you on Facebook so maybe I’ll see one that’s close. Be well, Angelique”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Romeoville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Romeoville 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 Romeoville 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 Romeoville 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
