“Loren made our first experience with Rover a great one! She was punctual, responsive, and very respectful throughout the entire stay. We really appreciated the photo updates during house sitting, and she took such wonderful care of Odie. We’re so glad we booked with her—thank you so much, Loren! Hope to see you again soon!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing! We trusted her with our three fur babies—two cats and our young pit mix—and she took incredible care of them while staying at our home. During our trip, she navigated a major heat wave by making sure the pets stayed safe, limiting their time outside and keeping them comfortable. She also handled severe storms that caused a power outage and wind damage to one of our trees. Amber kept us informed every step of the way, helped manage the cleanup, and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond anything we expected. Knowing our pets and our home were in such capable, caring hands meant everything to us. We couldn’t recommend Amber more highly for her love of animals, her professionalism, and the exceptional care she provides for both your pets and your home.”
“Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.”
“Diane came and watched our little girl Penelope for a day so my husband and I could get out of the house. Penelope was new to Chicago and having a tough time settling in - we wanted Penelope to have someone with her while we were out to ensure she was comfortable. Diane was absolutely phenomenal from the start - an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable right away. You can tell she is extremely expert when it comes to the care of animals. Penelope can be very shy/anxious and tends to run away/hide when she is stressed. Diane got down on the floor with Penelope and patiently waited for her to come out when she was ready. Diane sent us photos throughout the day along with updates/messages which made me feel so much better and allowed me to relax while we were out. I was amazed at how quickly Penelope warmed to Diane and felt totally confident in Diane taking care of my baby. Diane is absolutely such a wonderful person, I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely hope to have her back!”
“Hannah stayed at our house for 10 days with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Her schedule was flexible, and she was able to let the dogs out frequently, play with them often, and take them on walks. I really appreciated this, since they are used to us working from home. She was also able to follow my detailed instructions (one dog is an older puppy). I would have appreciated more frequent communication and photos, especially since we were gone for so long, but she answered my messages right away.”
“Veronica stayed at our house overnight to watch our dog Maggie for a week. She sent lots of updates and was very responsive. She offered to take out our trash on garbage day and left our house spotless. We will surely use her again!”
“Gabrielle is always fast to respond & great with communication. She spends quality time with my dog while I am away which is great for my older, anxious pup!”
“Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.”
“Ryan was an amazing asset while we were away. He is communicative, kind, and truly goes the extra mile—leaving a wonderful impression on both us and our pets (even our cranky rooster!). He asked thoughtful questions and took great care in looking out for our entire household. He’s hands down the best pet sitter we’ve had, and we will absolutely be using him again! Our home was better than how we left it.”
“Liz did a great job caring for our large crew of 2 dogs and 3 cats! She was responsive and her calm confidence was reassuring, especially given that we were "off the grid" for some of our trip. She also coordinated the handoff of responsibility with a friend who was petsitting for some of the time we were gone. I appreciated that she sent pictures when she arrived, and left a note to let us know how things went. We also had a flight delay on the way home, and she was willing to stick around to make sure the pets were cared for in case we were further delayed. I highly recommend her!”
“Anana took wonderful care of my dogs. Communication between us was excellent and my dogs were clearly taken excellent care of while I was away She also left my house in perfect condition. Highly recommend.”
“Charlotte was fantastic. We had a few hiccups and she was beyond helpful. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely use her again!”
“Renee is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. She takes the time to learn your pet, and applies her experience to help them thrive while you’re away. She was consistent with communication at every step as well, and incredibly trustworthy. My pup warmed up to her right away!”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

Emma was wonderful! She watched my two cavaliers for 12 days in my home and did a fantastic job! The girls loved her and my place was spotless when I returned home! She sent updates regularly including photos. She followed all routines and loved them like her own. 10/10 would book again! 🩷🩷
Emma was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby boxer while I was away. She responded quickly, was always on time, and was very communicative throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bridget was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I would definitely book with Emma again — highly recommend!
This was our second time having Ellie dog sit for our dog Vita, and somehow she managed to impress us even more than the first time. From the moment we left, Ellie was incredibly responsive and communicative, sending thoughtful updates that gave us total peace of mind. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares — Vita absolutely adores her and had the best time. She got tons of exercise, enjoyed long walks (even in the cold!), and came back to us happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. Knowing Vita was not just cared for, but truly having fun, made all the difference for us while we were away. Ellie also went far above and beyond as a house guest. She was so considerate and took amazing care of our home — taking out the garbage, washing dishes, and even refilling the humidifiers. Walking into a tidy house after traveling was such an unexpected and appreciated touch. Ellie is consistently an excellent dog sitter: reliable, thoughtful, attentive, and just an all-around wonderful person to trust with both our dog and our home. We couldn’t recommend her more highly — a true five-star experience every time!
Lindsay was phenomenal while we were out of town! She provided such a great service, we were able to leave any worry aside. Quite the breath of fresh air experience for us! She was super informative throughout our booking, tons of photos came our way. The dogs loved her! She even made sure to inquire about certain treats before spoiling the two fur babies. Will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosemont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rosemont on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rosemont. 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 Rosemont 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 Rosemont 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 Rosemont 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.
