About: I've been a dog owner my entire life. I love all animals and I am so happy to play and love your pet like it's my own! I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, my German shepherd mix as a child, 2 labradors and I had a wonderful sweet Shiba Inu named lady who passed a couple years ago from chronic kidney failure. So I have a range of caring for all ages of dogs. I have 10 years of experience with training and obedience. I'll make sure they get out their pent up energy and you will come home to a happy pup! I will pay close attention to your pet and make sure they are safe at all times. If they have special needs I am more than happy to take care of that as well. I'm enthusiastic and care very much for all animals. Thank you for the opportunity to take care of a part of your family! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I can often accommodate evenings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents who need dependable, recurring care. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications, crate routine, and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”
“Shhelby recently watched my dog when I was out of the country and did an amazing job. My dog was having tummy issues and Shhelby handled it so well, was very conscientious, and sent me thorough and frequent updates. She left my place cleaner than she found it and most importantly I could tell she really cared about my dog. Strongly recommend her.”
“Yerim was wonderful! She took great care of our critters & house, and had no problem providing special care for our pup when a last minute health issue arose. We would be happy to hire her again!”
About: I grew up taking care of a pitbull and have loved dogs ever since. She was the most well-behaved, kind dog and inspired me to foster pitbulls in college. I was always the person that dogs and cats were drawn to, dubbed the "animal whisperer" by my friends. Now, I petsit all kinds of animals and love spending time playing or taking them on walks. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Caring for dogs fits into my daily routine, and I will love your pet like my own. I currently work part time remotely on a schedule I can choose (with the exception of Tuesdays). So, I'm able to structure my day around animal care: going on walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I go above and beyond to provide great care because I truly love dogs! I have a fenced front yard with plenty of grass and area to play, including a bunch of dog toys. I also have a fenced backyard with a pool, a grassy area, and a dog door, though I will block the dog door if your animal is not comfortable around a pool. I offer pretty much every service, including overnights at my home. They will be welcome to roam the house and sit on furniture, unless you specifically request not. I completely understand if that is not a habit you want your dog to have and will adjust to your instructions!
“Andrea is fantastic! Our senior dog had to have an unexpected surgery the day before we went out of town. Andrea stayed in our home to care for him. She was very attentive to his medical and dietary needs, and was very flexible and responsive to our requests. Even after just meeting her, I felt confident with Jerry in her care. She sent lots of photos and gave multiple updates throughout our trip to help put our minds at ease. I will definitely be reaching out to Andrea again in the future!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day. Although I'm new to offering pet care professionally, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.
“Thank you for taking great care of our pups. I'm thankful for you staying at our home with them, I'm sure it made it easier on them being in their own environment. Hopefully you will be willing to do this again in the future...”
“Alicia did an awesome job - she sent several wonderful pictures (she's a great photographer!) throughout the stay to let us know how our girl was doing. Great with communication. I was very pleased with her as a sitter and will be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ and family friends dogs since 2015 ranging from English bulldog to Chihuahua to full size labradoodles. I have also cared for my own dogs. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and am available after 3pm. I am fully available on Fridays. I work 1 weekend day which does fluctuate between Saturday and Sunday depending on the week - on that work day, I am available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. I am very respectful of the client’s home. I will obey their house rules. I will make sure to be thorough with any provided instructions and ask questions about things I am not sure about. I keep a clean and organized space.
“Mia was great with my dog and three cats. She sent updates often which included photos of everyone looking happy and healthy! Having Mia at my house while I was away gave me peace of mind that everyone was safe and well cared for. My pets have some particulars about feeding and who gets along with who and she was very attentive and responsive to their needs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friends!”
About: I’v been around dogs my whole life and have dog sat for many different families for the last 4 years! I love being around dogs and have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs! I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton getting my teaching credential. My weekdays are pretty full but I have flexible schedule to work around. I have dog sat some dogs at my house! I have a huge backyard that’s gated! I am available to play and care for dogs at their own homes also.
“Jessica was an amazing sitter who took great care of our dog so well and communicated to us frequently with photos too. We highly recommend her for any and all of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet and your home. I work full time during the week, but I’m available in the evenings and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, and pet sitting around your pet’s normal routine and will always be clear about my availability. I have a fenced yard and there are no other pets in my home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.
“Ally was a rockstar! So very attentive and loving to our sweet dog! Sent me updates through the day. Such an amazing person and we will definitely use her again for our pet sitting 😊❤️”
About: Pleasure to meet you! I go by the name Kay! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent my life caring for variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and snakes. Growing up in a family involved in pet care (dog grooming, pet sitting, and boarding), I learned early on that every animal has its own personality, needs and routine. That experience has given me confidence working with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m passionate about animal health, happiness, and building trust with every pet I meet. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra patience, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time. Bonus: in addition to pet care, I’ve also photographed pets for charitable causes and past non-profit animal shelters. That has taught me more about working patiently with animals and making them comfortable in new situation. Weekends: I am available for dog walks and drop in visits Most Weekdays: Evening after 6pm by request, depending on availability I work hybrid and get every other Friday off. My calendar is up to date to ensure I could fully accept and commit to your pet/family member. When caring for pets in client’s home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly as requested. I will double check all locks, gates, doors, and ensure there is provided fresh water. I will share photos and updates so you have peace of mind of how they are doing. At home, I live in an apartment complex where both my dogs are crate trained and following a structure routine. I ensure a safe and comfortable space for the both of them.
About: I grew up raising three energetic Dachshunds and a black Labrador, so I’m used to both high-energy play and calm couch time. I’ve also helped adopt and train a German Shepherd. I match the dog in front of me — long walks and fetch when they need it, quiet time when they don’t. I’m patient, on time, and I send updates so you know they’re good. For the cat box (optional but better than leaving it blank): Comfortable with cats too — feeding, litter, play, and keeping their routine. Quiet house, no extra stress. Tap the check, then resubmit the whole profile after the photo is a clear close-up of your face. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m here to make sure your furry family member is well cared for! I attend Chapman University in Orange and only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. That leaves Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends fully available. On class days I can still do drop-in visits between lectures. I only accept house-sitting bookings I can cover for the entire stay, and I confirm timing with you before anything is booked. When I house sit, I stay in your home, follow your household rules, and do not have visitors. Doors and gates stay secured. For drop-in visits I arrive on time, care for your pet, and leave the home as I found it. I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing, and I follow their feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly.
“So great and communicative! Our dog Sunny was sad from losing our other family dog and she just did everything to cheer him up! I felt so at peace knowing Sunny was in such good hands.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Villa Park is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
Tammy is a real pro with animals and watched Hazel for 13 days. Hazel is very active and needs a good walk every day. This wasn’t easy because Tammy encountered rain as well as extreme heat. She followed all our instructions and we were well satisfied with her care of Hazel. We would hire her again.
We are so glad that we booked Gabby to watch our dog and cat! We arranged a meet up before the scheduled days so our pets could be familiar with her and they immediately trusted her. Our Cat who usually strays from strangers felt comfortable coming out and meeting her! During her stay Gabby sent picture and video updates of our pets regularly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is considering a sitter!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Last-Minute Lifesaver—Incredible Flexibility and Care! I cannot thank Abigail enough for completely saving the day! Due to a scheduling mistake on my part, I found myself in a desperate situation, needing a house and pet sitter to cover a one-day gap before we returned home. Abigail stepped up at the absolute last minute with zero hesitation. Not only was she willing to take on a short-notice, single-day job, but she also went out of her way to coordinate directly with our outgoing sitter. She arrived early to do a face-to-face handoff, quickly got up to speed on our pets' routines, and took over seamlessly. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and absolute professionalism completely put my mind at ease during a very stressful moment. Our pets were beautifully cared for, and we returned to a safe home and very happy animals. To find someone this trustworthy and accommodating on such short notice is rare, and we are incredibly grateful for her help!
Sarah is an amazing dog/cat sitter! From beginning to end she was amazing at communicating, attentive to every detail, and very thorough. She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates along the way :) would definitely recommend Sarah to my family and friends!
Mia was great with my dog and three cats. She sent updates often which included photos of everyone looking happy and healthy! Having Mia at my house while I was away gave me peace of mind that everyone was safe and well cared for. My pets have some particulars about feeding and who gets along with who and she was very attentive and responsive to their needs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friends!
Vy is the best! She is extremely thoughtful, thorough, and I can tell she really cares about my pet, she is my go to for any of my dog sitting needs. From meeting her to the end of her stay at my house, she kept me updated with photos and how my dog was doing. This was my first time hiring a sitter instead of boarding and I’m super thankful it was with Vy!
5 Paws!!!!! (stars;) If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the moment we left, we knew our three dogs and our home were in the very best hands. They sent frequent updates and adorable pictures that made us smile and gave us complete peace of mind. They were always quick to respond, incredibly thoughtful, and treated our dogs like they were their own. It was obvious how much love, attention, and care they gave them. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. That says everything. Finding people you trust enough to stay in your home and care for your pets is priceless, and we feel so lucky to have found them. We truly hope they'll be available every time for us because we wouldn't hesitate for a second to invite them back. We recommend them with complete confidence to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely wonderful pet sitters. Thank you for taking such incredible care of our home and our furry family!
Malena was fantastic with our 3 large dogs, one being a puppy. She stayed in close contact with us with plenty of updates and the pups loved her. All of our dogs have very different personalities and she did great with all of them. Our request was very last minute and she was able to accommodate everything we needed. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!
We had a wonderful experience! She was gentle, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. My little poochies felt calm, comfortable, and well cared for in her presence. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were with someone so kind and attentive. I would gladly trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to others!" 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Villa Park is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $107 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 October 2026, there are 8,583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Villa Park. 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 Villa Park 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 Villa Park 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 Villa Park 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
