“Kaylee was wonderful pet sitting for us while we were gone on a long weekend trip. We got consistent updates, pictures, and we felt extremely comfortable with her. We absolutely recommend her and will happily use her services again.”
“Lauriel took such great care of our girl Tilli and our boy Chester. We are really looking forward to having more time away and knowing that our fur kids are in such loving hands”
“Beatriz was communicative, and thoughtful about the care she delivered to our pups. We were able to count on her to take great care of our home and our fur babies while we were away and it gave us peace of mind. Wonderful experience for all involved!”
About: My name is Lauren and currently reside in Elmhurst. I am looking for pet walking jobs (or jogging) or pet sitting jobs to help supplement my income, but I also genuinely just love being around dogs. My family has had pets my entire life and I have lots of experience walking and providing care for animals. Big dogs, little dogs, rabbits, cats and even guinea pigs. I have experience raising Guide Dogs through the New Zealand Blind Foundation as well as Leader Dogs for the Blind in Michigan. I was a volunteer at the Boulder Humane Society in Colorado in my undergraduate days so I am used to all breeds/types of dogs. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or the occasional dog walk - I’d love to meet you and your pup.
“The best choice could make to trust them with my Sofy and house!! Came last night and thanks to them that keep me posted all the time with pictures, really enjoy vacations knowing all good:). Really recommend them!!!!”
“Skyler was awesome! She communicated well and responded quickly. Augie loved playing and spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Skyler and use her again. Thank you!!”
“Kendall is fantastic! Responds quickly, shows up on time, and very understanding of my dogs’ quirks. Kendall stayed at our house while we were out of town, and we’re so appreciative of the photos she sent us. I know they enjoyed being at home rather than in a kennel being boarded elsewhere. We will definitely have Kendall watch our pups again.”
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!”
“Great pet sitter!! Sent daily updates with pics, awesome communication and my pets were quick to adapt to Gabrielle. We will be sure to keep requesting her services. She even watered our plants while we were away.”
“Philip took care of my dogs like they were his own. He was patient, attentive, and incredibly respectful of their routines and personalities. One of my dogs can be a little anxious, and Philip handled that with calm reassurance and experience. I got thoughtful updates, photos, and honest communication the whole time. It’s rare to find someone you can trust fully with your pets, but Philip is absolutely one of those people. I’m grateful for the peace of mind he gave me.”
“Caroline is great. She took care of our dog over the weekend at our house. She shows up on time, is respectful, responsive. Sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend her, will definitely be a repeat customer in the future.”
“Destiny was AMAZING! You feel right away her love for dogs, and her passion for what she does. It put us immediately at ease. She took great care of Riley, and our home. We highly recommend Destiny for taking care of your fur baby.”
“Kinery was outstanding. She housesat for us and our puppy and cat, and the entire time we felt 100% confident they were in good hands. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and she treated him like he was her own. She went above and beyond, even buying him special treats and taking him for a play date with her own dog. She gave special attention to our overly anxious cat to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely call her anytime we need someone to watch them, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Grace did a great job watching our dogs for a long weekend. Her flexible schedule allowed her to come over after we left and spend extra time with our dogs, which I'm sure they loved. She got along with them great and sent us photos and updates everyday. She was also a clean and courteous house guest. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks Grace!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roselle
Ok if you book Phillip you have won the lottery! He is truly phenomenal from start to finish. He sends pictures every day with a little note. The dogs were so happy! But what makes him stand out is his dedication to the pups & the client. We were diverted to Milwaukee, landing around midnight due to storms in Chicago & Phillip stayed until he knew we would be making it home. I was so worried about the dogs when we landed and when I received his text that he was still at the house I almost cried. He truly is amazing!
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.
Skyler was watching my house when we had really bad storms here in July. She did a great job dealing with everything going on. There was no power and a window blew in. She looked for Wren right away and once she found her she went upstairs and fixed the window. It's great to have a sitter that was able to handle all of this. Though it was not an ideal situation she did fantastic and it made me feel that I can comfortably leave on trips and know that Skyler can manage multiple situations as they arise!
We just loved Kristina. She was so good with our fur babies. We received pics/updates daily. The meet and greet went well and the booking process was easy. Kristina is a good communicator and replies right back. We felt at ease and will be using her services 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 for House Sitting in Roselle on Rover is $55.5 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 8,247 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roselle. 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 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 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 Roselle. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
