“Caroline kept in touch at least once a day and sent pictures of my dogs. My dogs did have several accidents that I found in other rooms and on my rug a few times. When I got home my dogs had no water and both were extremely thirsty. I did ask her to get my mail daily and put it on the counter, however, that didn’t happen and my mail box was over filled. Overall she did a good job, my little dog seemed a lot lighter because he doesn’t eat when I’m gone, they are both back to themselves today.”
“Emily was great! She stayed at our house for 5 nights, watching our 10 year old great Pyrenees. She was available to house sit with only a week's notice, which we are very grateful for. She had good communication on giving me updates and also very timely whenever I reached out. I had genuine peace of mind while we were out of state. House was just as clean as, maybe even cleaner than, when we left it, huge relief after our long day of flying. We came home to our happy sleeping dog! Our dog just required morning/evening feeding and morning/afternoon/evening potty breaks at a minimum, and Emily definitely put in more than the bare minimum. She gave our dog all the extra weather permitting outside play time and inside loves that I would have given my dog if I was home, so we are very happy with Emily! Definitely would rebook! Thank you Emily!”
“Peggy (Margaret) was absolutely fantastic! We had to leave our 5 month old bernedoodle puppy (Ralph) for a week and it was our first time leaving him. Ralph is in his crazy puppy stages which includes him being a land shark but Peggy was amazing. We appreciated her consistent updates with pictures. We felt so at ease being away from Ralph. We will absolutely hire Peggy again. Ralph was very well taken care of and Peggy also went above and beyond with taking care of things around the house such as cleaning up. Thank you so much Peggy for all that you did for us! Us and Ralph really appreciate it and we hope to see you soon!”

“This was the first tine Jennifer stayed with Kale'a. Kale'a is a slow moving 12 year old Lab - Jennifer walked her several tines a day, gave Kale'a her medications and lots of love. In addition, my house was also well-caref for. I can't express how happy both Kale'a and I were to have found Jennifer!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Knowing our dogs were able to stay in the comfort of home made our time away so much less stressful. They cared for our pups like he was their own and kept us updated with photos and messages that always made us smile. We came home to a happy, relaxed pups and a house that was just as we left it.

I am also comfortable with giving your pet medications if they are on any, whether it be oral meds or ointment or eye drops as long as they are cooperative!

“Jessica was the absolute best!!! Our 2 cats did amazing with her and they were so so so well cared for and loved during our vacation. Jessica stayed 3 days and 3 nights at our place and did cat sitting and house sitting and made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were well taken care of! She was so respectful of our home and left everything as is and clean. She sent us daily photos and text updates as we requested. Our cats absolutely loved her and were so happy with her. We will definitely be rebooking and recommend Jessica to everyone!!!”
“Nancy did a great job watching our dog Atticus! He normally gets very sad when we’re gone, but Nancy made sure he got enough love and attention and he was happy and relaxed. Atticus loved Nancy and even went into the room she stayed in a few times to check if she was still there. She sent frequent updates on his mood, whether he ate, and what they were up to, including sending pictures. We will definitely hire Nancy again!”
“Charlotte did a wonderful job caring for our babies while we were away. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that the dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We experienced severe storms while we were gone, and Charlotte was attentive to our girls anxiety needs and followed our instructions regarding medication. We really appreciated knowing our pets were in capable and caring hands.”
About: Hi, my name is Sim! I have hands on experience caring for pets. I raised my own dog for 14 years and have pet-sat for friend’s dogs. Caring for animals is a passion of mine, and I understand how important routines and attention are. Having been both a pet owner and sitter, I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine. I provide attentive care, communicate clearly, and give regular updates to ensure you feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate focused time to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be attentive, responsive, and consistent with each pet’s routine, ensuring they get the care, attention, and companionship they need. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I make sure they’re fed on time, get their walks and playtime, and feel safe and comfortable. I also keep things clean and send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Kristen and her family were amazing with our dogs! She was very reliable, communicated great and my dogs were happy and healthy the entire time we were gone. She was very patient and kind with our boy Gus during storms and rain and it made me so happy to hear both played, ate and were loved on by her and her sweet kiddos. She also did a great job taking care of our home, bringing in mail, packages etc. I'll 100000% be using her again and highly recommend! A true gem!
Olivia is always very attentive, responsive and takes such good care of our pups!! We’re so happy we found her and that she was available to take care of them. If you’re looking for a good sitter that will give you peace of mind while your away, she’s your girl! She send updates and pictures throughout the day as well which we really appreciate. Thanks again Olivia!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Romeoville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Romeoville on Rover is $49.95 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 6,006 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Romeoville. 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 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 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.

- 96% 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.
