“Kylie was amazing, checked in every day, suffered through a storm with my big, wimp of a beast dog and my house was spotless when I got home. Highly recommended, but I’d like to save her for myself.”
“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”
About: I’ve had house dogs for most of my adult life. I recently had to put my little guy to sleep after 13 years and I’m looking to fill that void he left! I’m patient and loving. I now have a 6 pound chihuahua that’s 9 and very laid back I’ve just started this business but you won’t find someone more passionate about caring for your dog I work a few part time hours and would be pretty flexible with my schedule. Able to spend quality time with your pet and give the attention I would care for your pet as you do. I have a condo and a great neighborhood for walks. They will be very comfortable and happy with me
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
“Mark was fantastic! We were out of town for nearly a week the first time Mark house/dog-sat (he had previously walked our pup), and Mark handled everything. Most importantly, our dog loves him! But Mark also brought in the mail, kept an eye on things around the house during some large storms, and communicated with us regularly. The day we were coming home, Mark was willing to stay later during a tornado watch when our flights were delayed. He also left the house very clean in terms of dishes and laundry, which was not required but a nice way to come back from a trip. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future!”
“Allie did an awesome job taking care of my dog, Pepe. Her expertise and background in animal care gave me complete confidence in her abilities. She followed Pepe's schedule perfectly, ensuring he was well cared for. This was my first time using Rover, and I highly recommend her services and would gladly book with her again. Thank you, Allie!”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member! In my house, pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I work primarily from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. Whether it’s an awesome playtime sesh, a neighborhood walk, some fresh air in the backyard, or simply lounging together on the sofa, I enjoy giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. I no longer have a dog of my own (but I had the best Beagle for 15 wonderful years until recently), so your dog will have my full attention! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. BOARDING I want your dog to feel right at home during their stay! They’ll have free rein of the house and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, including in my bed. If you prefer a crate, just provide one and I’m happy to accommodate. I live in a duplex with a very large, fully fenced and gated backyard shared with my next-door neighbors, who have a Golden Retriever and a Frenchton. If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can discuss sharing the outdoor space. Otherwise, I can provide individual walks and plenty of outdoor potty breaks. DOG WALKING Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some fresh air and exploring, I’ll tailor walks to their age, energy level, and abilities. DROP-IN & HOME VISITS If your pet is happier at home, I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also arrange daytime or overnight stays, depending on your needs and my availability. PET TAXI Need a ride to the groomer, vet, or another outing? I can help with transportation depending on scheduling and distance. Just ask! MY APPROACH TO CARE I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including any medication or special care needs. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates once or twice a day, if you’d like. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and consideration I’d want someone to give my own. I look forward to meeting you both! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. I can accommodate multiple walks throughout the day, depending on scheduling, and I’m open to boarding one family’s pets at a time so they can receive plenty of individual attention. Advance notice is always appreciated, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and your pet’s routines, and make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention and care. As I get to know each dog, I’m mindful of their personality, needs, and comfort level, whether we’re out for a walk, spending time in your home, or enjoying a stay in mine. I offer boarding for one family’s pets at a time so they can receive more individualized attention. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s needs, routines, and any special instructions so you can feel confident they’re in caring hands.
“Outstanding communication! Kortney not only took excellent care of my dogs, but she also handled some unforeseen circumstances at the house ( water seeping in the basement, a power flicker). We'll definitely use her again!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life since I was 8 years old. I have grown up with puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. Right now I have 2 dogs who are 5 and 3 years old. I love all dogs! I am currently unemployed but a student, and I still have lots of free time on my hands. So I have a lot of time to pick up walking shifts. I have a lot of experience walking dogs considering I’ve grown up around them. So I make sure to provide your dog with the best walk!
About: I have been a pet owner for many years of both cats and dogs. I have raised them from puppy/kittens to adults. I also was a personal assistant and part of the responsibilities was feeding and taking care of the pet's needs. I haven't had a career focused on pet care but I love animals and have had them in my life all the time. I work full time as a social worker, but I can walk pets or feed them during the week after 5pm and I have weekends free for pet care. I do not offer boarding but I am a very responsible person and will follow all instructions you have to ensure your pet is properly taken care of.
About: I grew up with animals, and am experienced with taking care of cats and dogs. In Champaign, I have had four cat over different times and now I have a Doodle dog, who is a caring and loving gentleman! I am mostly available in the morning, late afternoons, and early evenings. Other times I spend my time studying at the library and trying to graduate toward my PhD degree. I live in a house and have lots of free space. We have a fenced yard with short fences that work for our large doodle just fine. However, if your fur baby is an escape artist, our fence might be too short and flimsy...
About: I cherish the time I’ve spent caring for cats and dogs and interacting with them has been fulfilling and a fantastic addition to my life. Caring for my dogs and cats, enjoying the love and attention you receive in return for your efforts is a wonderful addition to the human experience I really like taking my dogs for exercise, and I have a big imagination and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to play inside in inclement weather
“Rebecca was amazing with our King. She knew his favorite was bananas and she shared those with him. Getting the daily updates with pictures was amazing. She was very thorough when we met and asked all kinds of great questions. We will definitely use her again. I know King is going to miss her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. There was once a time where I was taking care of 4 dogs at the same time in my household. I’m a lover to all furry and non furry friends, your doggo will be in safe hands. I’m currently working a part time (of 3 years in caregiving) and full time job, hoping to quit the full time job to focus more on work life balance instead of just work. Once I get more pets to sit I will be able to say goodbye to the full time job I’ll be able to spend more time with your pets! I’m very respectful of others and their property. I do ask a lot of questions when getting started just so I don’t cross any boundaries. I do like to help to clean up as well so if there’s a mess that was or wasn’t made by your furry friend I’ll clean it right up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars Aren't Enough! Heather is absolutely wonderful! Finding someone you can trust with your precious fur babies is priceless, and Heather is everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make all the difference. There is such peace of mind in knowing your dogs are not just being cared for, but truly loved while you're away. Heather goes above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful! If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry family members like her own, look no further than Heather! We highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to trust her again! ❤️🐾
Nina watched our three dogs and cat in our home for five days when we were traveling. She had no problems, communicated regularly, followed instructions, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. Could not ask for a better dog sitter, I highly recommend her.
I can not say enough great things about Cameron! She took such good care of my older dog Rarri. She sent the cutest pictures regularly. She sat overnight for me. The house was spotless, Rarri was happy, and she even washed the sheets and towels she used. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend Cameron
Ava was absolutely fantastic while house sitting for our dog and cat while we were away. She made sure they had all of their medications and felt so loved and cared for. She was very communicative and provided daily updates and pictures that reassured us that our boys were in good hands.
We really enjoyed having Allie watch our dogs and cat. She sent us photos of our pets relaxing. We were able to communicate easily with Allie, and she would respond within minutes. This really put our minds at ease while having someone house sit/pet sit for us. When we returned to our house, all of our pets seemed relaxed and tired. We would highly recommend booking Allie, and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Savoy is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $66 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 Savoy 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 Savoy 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 Savoy 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 Savoy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
