About: I have about 15 years of pet care, not just with my own pets, but as a dog walker, a pet sitter, and a rescuer. I have experience with dogs and cats! As someone who believes that animal rights are super integral, I tried to go above and beyond for the animals in my neighborhood, even rescuing, squirrels and raccoons to make sure that they have a fighting chance of survival. In addition, I have experience with special-needs animals as well. I know how to administer insulin, do different kinds of oral medication’s, and even eardrops. Lastly, my experience ranges from puppies and kitties all the way to our senior puppies (older dogs never stop being our puppies). Pet care is ingrained into every part of my life. Mainly because I have my own pets, so everything from waking up early to take them out, to feedings and making sure that they get enough playtime! In terms of how I fit into your life, I do have a very flexible schedule as I’m an independent contractor, so I do have more flexibility. I love an early morning of dog walking, so for any early birds, I’m your girl! I’m someone who believes that there are fundamentals for all care and those need to be followed but I also understand that a lot of pets have specialized care. For example, I have a wobbly cat so everything from how she goes potty where she gets to hang out and how she gets her food is very specific because she has a disability. I am open to Pat who might need some specialized care or need medication. As I have the experience of dealing with pets who might need a little bit of extra care! I also try my absolute best to make sure that my environment fits the needs of a pet so that they can feel comfortable and feel like they are right at home.

About: What truly sets my care apart is a balanced focus on both physical well-being and emotional happiness. I tailor every visit to your pet’s energy levels and needs—from high-energy play sessions and enriching walks to quiet cuddle time for senior pets. I listen closely to what makes your pet thrive, ensuring they receive thoughtful, individualized care that keeps their stress low and their tails wagging. One of the biggest advantages I offer as a pet caregiver is the flexibility of my career in real estate. I map out my appointments and client meetings a week ahead, which allows me to reserve dedicated blocks of time for walks, check-ins, and companionship. This blend of complete schedule control and advanced planning means I can accommodate midday drop-ins, sudden schedule adjustments, and focused, quality time with your pet when they need it most. Your home is your pet’s safe haven, and I take the responsibility of stepping into that space very seriously. I combine professional reliability with gentle, attentive care, strictly adhering to your house rules and pet care instructions. From maintaining meal schedules and administering medications to providing active companionship and house security, I ensure your home is treated with respect and your pet receives full, unhurried attention in the comfort of their own environment.

“Erica was great! She communicated with us regularly and make us assured our 2 dogs were taken care of. There were tornados while we were gone and our dogs were very nervous. She made sure to cuddle them and make sure they felt comfortable. Erica was also very clean and our house was just as we left. We would absolutely hire Erica again.”

About: I've loved animals since I was a little girl, and caring for pets has always brought me so much joy. I've been pet-sitting since I was 12, caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies, which has given me years of hands-on experience. I’ve been through many different types of situations with pets like walking, feeding, playing, and even washing and drying pets. Ive always had no trouble connecting with animals and I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care every time. I currently work full time from 9-5, so I'm available to care for your pets in the evenings and on weekends. However, I'm happy to accommodate your schedule whenever needed. My office is pet friendly, so with permission I could bring your pet to work for full time supervision. However if you prefer your pet to stay at home, I’m happy to make that work as well. Spending my free time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so your pets will always receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a house with a large, fenced backyard that animals love to explore. I also live with my pet-loving parents, who enjoy having furry visitors around. Your pet will always have a safe, fun, and loving environment while in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect. I'll always be mindful of your home, follow your routines, and leave everything just as I found it, so you can feel confident and worry-free while you're away.

About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.

“You can stop looking for your next dog sitter! Houston did a fantastic job for us! She stayed in our home with our large breed dog while we were out of town for a week in April 2021. We received daily pictures and videos of our dog to reassure us she was being well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we arrived home late at night - the trash was taken out, the bed was made, the mail was on the counter, and most importantly our dog was happy with plenty of food and water. I can't recommend Houston enough and will definitely book her again!”

About: I truly adore animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I was mom to two rat terrier mixed dogs and now help care for my mom's toy poodle, Scouty. I have experience dog sitting for multiple overnights and caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes, from small pups to larger breeds. I’ve also cared for a senior dog who was deaf, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and adapting to a pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust my work hours as needed. I work part-time as a substitute teacher and uber driver. Weekend sitting or drop ins are no problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications or special needs, and of course, plenty of love and attention! During overnight stays, I enjoy spending quality time with pets so they have companionship while their family is away. I understand that every animal is different—some want lots of cuddles and playtime, while others need patience and space to warm up. I’m attentive to their behavior and adjust my approach to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of TLC while you’re away.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals and had to be very responsible at a young age for crate schedules, feeding times, play times. Etc. My dog back in my hometown was my pride and joy but since I moved I also do miss that bond every now and then w a furry companion. Part time server / bartender and just needed some extra work but also something that I enjoy doing. Who doesn’t love spending time w fur babies?!? I do have a smaller apartment so smaller animals preferred when it comes to boarding within my own home. Very respectful for other people’s homes and will do whatever is necessary to make sure the home and animals are both taken care of.

Julianna did an unbelievable job watching our huskies while we were away. She stayed in great touch with daily photos and catered to all their needs. On top of taking such good care of the dogs, she even cleaned up all the extra fur from Aurora shedding so we came home to a clean house. We're so thankful for her help and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time!

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rosemont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Rosemont is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $51 and $87 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.

As of November 2026, there are 7,942 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 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 Rosemont. 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.
