“Happy Wednesday, thank you Marla ! She exceeded our expectations from start to finish in caring for our pets and following the process from feeding 3 cats and taking our dog out several times plus feeding him. She provided excellent communication throughout the 4 days , I would encourage anyone to hire Marla.”
“Abbey was absolutely amazing with our two doodles!! She sent tons of photos and updates and communicated quickly. She left our place just as clean as we had it and I would 100% recommend her to anyone. I will be using her again :)”
“We have used Abigail several times. Most recently we went on a week long vacation. She is truly amazing. Always sending pictures and updates! Highly recommend her!”
“Michelle is an excellent sitter, Chloe’s feel in love with her. She spent time with making Chloe feel comfortable with her, and Chloe does. Chloe was waiting for her every morning. I wouldn’t want anyone else. Thank you so much Michelle!!!”
“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Mariela stayed with our pets are our home this past weekend. We have two dogs and a bearded dragon. We highly recommend using Mariela for your pet sitting needs! Mariela was willing to stay at our home, handle our pets care, and provide love/comfort during her stay. Mariela even took our dogs for a walk to have a nice fun activity. Mariela also was willing to learn how to care for a bearded dragon. That can be incredibly challenging especially when it’s all new, but Mariela handled it like a champ! She showed both our dogs and our bearded dragon so much love. We are so incredibly thankful to her for everything she did! If you are needing a pet sitter, we strongly recommend Mariela! She is a true professional and she even sent us updates during her stay to help reassure mom and dad their babies were doing okay! Mariela thank you so so much for everything you did! We greatly appreciate you!”
About: I have a passion for animals and the time to care for your fur baby! I especially love dog walking and doggy playtime, and can match your dog's energy!! I am currently unemployed, so I am very flexible with how I might fit pet care into my routine!! Weekdays work better for me, but I could swing weekends as well! I am able to come to your home and care for your pet in their usual environment. I will be respectful of a client's space, and will follow the routines the pet is typically used to.
“We love Reggi! She is responsible, responsive, and great with Silver, our Siberian Husky puppy (who is a handful). Reggi has stayed at our house a couple of times now, covering our out-of-town trips. We will be working with her again soon!”
“Thank you so much for watching my girls and my old man Tim! My dogs looked well taken care of and enjoyed being spoiled! Thank you so much for being so flexible and able to watch them on such short notice!”
About: I have had animals and cared for animals since I was young. On top of my personal animals, I have also dog and cat sat for family friends. I have also dealt with a diabetic cat and it’s shots. I am mostly just available on Fridays after 10:30 and on the weekends. I do sometimes have the availability for an afternoon (after 4) walk or drop in. I can care for your animals as you see fit in your home and follow your standards for your animals and home. If wanting some play time with another dog, I can also bring my own dog, who loves other dogs, for some play time.
“Ashley was great!! She took good care of our boys while my husband and I went to dinner with friends we hadn’t seen in several years. We were able to relax and enjoy the time because our boys were in good hands. Highly recommend Ashley!!!”
About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats. Today animals continue to be an important part of my life. I'm a board member of a local humane society and volunteer weekly at the shelter. I also help with low-cost spay/neuter clinics, where I've worked with cats and dogs of many ages, sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I know every dog is different. Some want long walks and lots of playtime. Others prefer a slower pace and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Friends and colleagues describe me as dependable and patient. I pay close attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship or simply a familiar routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as an entrepreneur and consultant, which gives me flexibility to schedule visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm often able to accommodate pets who need consistent care, medication reminders, multiple daily visits, or extra attention while their families are away. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide dependable, personalized care rather than rushing between appointments. When I accept a booking, I make your pet's wellbeing a priority. I'm happy to provide overnight house sitting in your home. Many pets are most comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings, keeping their normal routines, and receiving one-on-one attention in a place they know and trust. When caring for your pets, I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other routines that are important to your household. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and know how your pets are doing while you're away. I understand that hiring a house sitter means trusting someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously. I'll treat your home with care and respect, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it so you can return home to happy pets and peace of mind.
“My pets and I had a wonderful experience with Kaitlin! She took care of both my pets for three plus days, and I could tell they were cared for. She kept us updated with messages and a picture, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: BOARDING RULES! Please read before booking!!! 1. All dogs must be crate trained 2. If your dog is not crate trained, but you are willing for them to be crated in my home there will be a charge of an additional $15 PER DAY. 3. Please give only an hour window for pick-up and drop-off times. I am typically flexible and you can message me if anything changes but I need to know an idea. 5. I will only board a dog that has done a meet and greet so please allow for enough time before the booking to get this done. I am a teacher so whenever schools are out, I am more available! With my teaching schedule, I can do 3 p.m. or after. I also come home for lunch every day to let my own dog out. I have a fenced in yard and a black lab of my own. All dogs I am caring for will be so loved! I will always be sure to follow any rules or routines you want your dog to follow.
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat. She was very responsive to our emails and provided us with peace of mind when she sent us updates along with their pictures! The house was immaculate and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Angela and we will definately use Angela again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - South Beloit
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Beloit 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 298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Beloit. 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 South Beloit 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 South Beloit 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 South Beloit 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 South Beloit. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
