“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”
“This was an amazing experience! Cameron took perfect care of our dogs while we were away. Constant updates kept us informed and we couldn't be more pleased. Would not only recommend Rover but Cameron as well!”
“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.”
“Loved the duo teamwork. Took good care of my pooches and my home. My dogs immediately took to them upon meeting them. Also, I think they left my home cleaner when they left! Bonus! Would definitely use their services again. 🌼🐩”
About: I love animals since I was a little kid. My uncle had a dog that I loved visiting, and my parents would bring me to the zoo to learn about animals. Ever since then, I started taking care of all sorts of pets from dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and small creatures. I work 5 days a week but can still come by early morning and after work to check up on your pets! If its onboarding, please make sure they are ok being left at home with other dogs for a few hours. I have a fenced yard that we let the dogs go out to play. I also have an area for cats if they need somewhere to have peace and quiet away from the dogs.
“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”
About: Dogs are a huge part of my life. My husband and I have 3 dogs and I actively train and compete in dog sports with two of them. The other is more of a companion but I couldn't help myself and he also has a few titles. The majority of my free time is spent training my dogs, going to classes, and going to competitions. Because of that, I've gotten to know a lot of different dogs and personalities. I’m happy to follow whatever rules and routines you have at home because I know how important consistency can be. I just love dogs, understanding them, and meeting them where they are. My husband and I tag-team pet care depending on our schedules, which gives us a lot of flexibility. We’re both very attentive about making sure dogs are safe, comfortable, and cared for the way their owners would care for them. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. My husband and I tag-team depending on our schedules, making it easier for us to accommodate daycare, walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting throughout the week. We both work remotely so between the two of us, we have availability throughout most of the day and can accommodate a variety of schedules. For daycare, my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home. To keep things manageable, I'm currently accepting dogs from only one household per day. Happy to welcome multiple dogs from the same family, but won't accept bookings from different families on the same day. I have three dogs of my own, two of whom are on the lower energy side and one is medium energy. I understand that not all dogs have the same personalities, play styles, or comfort levels, so we have space to keep dogs separate if needed. Visiting dogs will have opportunities to play, relax, and enjoy some downtime throughout the day. For puppies under 6 months, I generally like following a 1 up, 2 down schedule (1 hour away, 2 hours rest). It's worked really well with my own dogs and we can talk about it in more detail if you have a puppy that needs caring. In the client's home, I will do my best to keep their routine as normal and familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow your usual feeding schedule, walks, training cues, house rules, and any other routines your pet is used to. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality and won’t force interaction if they need some time to warm up. Safety is really important to me, so I also appreciate knowing about any behaviors or tendencies I should watch for like whether your dog is an escape artist, likes to bolt through doors, is reactive to certain dogs or people, or has any other quirks that might not be obvious at first. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them and keep them safe. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine.
“Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.”
About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.
About: Dog lover since 1992 and has cared for 5 different huskies in my family. As a kid, I regularly took care of our Siberian husky brothers, Rambo and Rascal, since they were 6 months old. Loves dogs with high energy and enjoys seeing their excitement when they get to go for a walk. Your doggo is in good hands when they’re with me. I am currently looking for part-time work after leaving my laboratory job in Colorado. I have all the time in the day to care for your dog and/or cat. I am an active person who likes to be outside and takes walks as long as the weather permits. I live across the street from Turner Park in Roselle with walking trails nearby. Our yard has a big grassy backyard that is perfect for your dog to explore while supervised on a leash. For pet safety, I always walk dogs outside with a leash and I always try to avoid meetings with other dogs; I always carry pocket pepper spray for the off chance that an aggressive dog gets loose and wants to cause harm (my good friend lost the tip of his index finger to a Pitbull who attacked his Husky at a dog park). I also avoid dog parks as I cannot trust other dogs around yours. I safely drive a SUV for the possibility that your dog needs to be picked up and/or dropped off. To avoid ticks, I don’t let dogs rummage through tall grass. If you have more than one dog that needs care then they are always feed in separate areas to avoid any confrontations. Willing to provide dog washing upon request.
“Kristy helped me out last minute on Halloween. I got invited to a last minute party and I thought there was no way I’d be able to find someone. She was more than willing to help me, swing by to meet me and Caesar, and was professional the whole process. She updated me the perfect amount where I’m kept up to date, but not where I have to worry about it. Highly recommend, would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!
“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.”
“Carly did an amazing job taking care of our dog Hazel for a long weekend. She sent us adorable photos and kept in touch. She also left the house super neat and clean! Would definitely book her again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roselle
Oliwia is amazing. She is so happy and cheerful and took great care of our Bentley while we were away for 10 days. I felt stressed about leaving our dog for that long, but Oliwia sent pictures every day and kept us posted on how he was doing. All of the pictures and communication from her really helped ease my worries. I think he had a vacation too! I would also note that Oliwia left the house very clean, which is a wonderful gift when you come home from vacation. I would highly recommend her.
Ashley is fantastic. We have asked her several times to watch our 3 cats over the years and she is always on it. the cat areas are always clean, she send photos, grabbed a package for us and even rescued a baby bunny that fell down into a window well! As long as she is up for it we will be contacting her again :)
Marina was so great with my dogs! I have 4 medium to XL dogs that are well mannered but can be a handful. She handled all of their personalities and sent detailed updates and photos throughout the visit. We will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip! We are so relieved to find a sitter!
We had the absolute best experience with Michaela and truly can’t recommend her enough. We were out of town for our wedding, and knowing our two dogs were in such caring, capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in every way—taking our dogs on runs to keep them active and happy, sending us frequent pictures and videos so we could stay connected, and even taking the time to vacuum and keep our home clean while we were away. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch, especially during such a busy and meaningful time in our lives. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, not just about pets but about the people they’re helping, too. We came home to two very happy, well-exercised dogs and a spotless house. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roselle is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $63 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 Roselle 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 Roselle 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 Roselle 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Roselle. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
