About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.
About: With six years of dedicated dog-sitting and pet-care experience, along with my passion for rescuing and caring for dogs, I bring genuine love and attention to every furry friend I welcome into my home. Whether it’s patiently helping puppies settle in or giving extra love and comfort to senior dogs, I’m committed to making every pup feel safe, happy, and cared for. Bonus 🌟: I also prepare a fresh homemade snack of boiled chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, and veggies, lightly seasoned with turmeric and dog-friendly herbs. 🐶❤️ And yes there’s a fully fenced yard with a dog door, so your pup can enjoy plenty of outdoor time and a little taste of true American 🇺🇸 freedom 😉 during their stay! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, aligning perfectly with my 24x7 at home availability. This ensures that each furry friend receives the time, attention, and affection they deserve, enriching both their lives and mine. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with regular walks, playtime, and feeding according to their schedule. Plenty of affection is always provided. When caring for pets in my client's home, I closely follow their pet's routine, provide companionship, administer any necessary medications, and keep the home tidy. My goal is to offer personalized care and attention to each pet, whether in my home or theirs, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Bonus: I have a fenced backyard with ample sunlight!
“Elliyah rose to every challenge my dog presented her and was super communicative along the way. You can tell she loves all animals and is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Thank you Elliyah, so much!”
About: I have taken care of cats for over 25 years. I will take care of your cat as if they were my own. Much care I have a pretty open schedule so I can care for your pet whenever they need it. It is my priority to ensure your pet has the best care I care for pets by ensuring all of their needs are meet from food, walks, litter change giving medication to play. I am used to caring for animals so it comes second nature to me
“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”
About: I currently work at one of the top-rated doggy daycares in Elmwood Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have grown up around them my entire life, learning how to care for them with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. Working with dogs is something that comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. I work morning shifts five days a week, typically from 6 AM to 1 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. My days off vary each week, but I’m flexible and love dedicating my free time to caring for animals. I’m available whenever I’m not working and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My own pets are my spoiled babies, and I make sure they have everything they need to live their happiest lives from plenty of playtime and attention to regular meals, potty breaks, and the freedom to be their silly, lovable selves. I create a calm, caring environment where pets can feel comfortable, be themselves, and know they’re in loving hands. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with that same patience, affection, and care I would want for my own.
“Jehiny watched our pups for an extended stay! They were cared for, safe, and definitely seemed to have fun! We got regular updates with photos and maps of their walks. It was really comforting to see how they all bonded :) and our girls are HIGH ENERGY.”
About: Hey there! My wife (Sam) and I (Jen) are an animal-loving couple, and looking for a new way to spend our afternoons with some furry friends. Our days can be pretty flexible as Sam and I both work from home, and we thought what better way to earn a little extra cash while doing something we're both passionate about! We both have a decent amount of experience caring for both dogs and cats! Pablo (9 years) and Boots (8 years) are our two ever-loving boy cats that we adore a little too much. Sam and I grew up with dogs, and also frequently dog sit for our neighbors and friends. We'd love to have the opportunity to meet your fur baby and care for them! :) Sam and I work from home, so our schedules are pretty flexible! We’re able to take multiple breaks for playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, etc. We love having furry company while we work - it’s a win/win! We are very attentive and to our boys’ needs at home and we’ll always bring that level of attention and care to every pet we look after. Whether it comes to strategically placing a sunny perch for their lazy afternoon lounging, to buying them a new set of toys because they get ruined every couple of months, their comfort, happiness and safety is our priority. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routines, and individual needs so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your fur babies will be met with plenty of love, care, attention, and of course, lots of cuddles <3
“Mary Ann was fantastic with Frances, our mini labradoodle! She was extremely communicative with us while we were out of town and did a great job caring for Frances. Would highly recommend!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our dog, Otis. She provided constant care for him, and gave us many updates while we were away. She was also very responsive, answering me immediately whenever I reached out. She was able to bond with Otis very quickly. She worked with him, gave him patience, and easily adapted to changes in his routine/diet. We came home to a happy and exceptionally cared for dog. :) We would work with Alexandra again in a heartbeat!”
“Tatiana was great! She was communicative throughout her stay, kept us updated on our dogs, and left our home spotless. Most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: Love Dogs- and have a very friendly and social German Shepherd/ Lab mix ourselves. Jenny, my wife, works from home so is around as needed during the day. She also runs this account with me, so you’ll be messaging with both of us! We have 4 kids (twin 11 year olds and two teenagers- 14 and 16) that love animals and will read to them, snuggle them, play with them and shower them with affection. We are able to board pets, walk pets, sit pets, and give your pet all the love and comfort they need while your are away. We love taking our dogs to the park, hiking with them and being outside as much as possible. Don’t worry- we also love movie night all snuggled in with pets:) We have a safe and loving environment for pets, with a family of caring, pet-friendly, dog-enthusiasts. Have experience in dog-sitting and dog walking. Essentially, a reliable service provider that will help you with all pet-care needs, and will maintain great quality of care for whatever pet needs arise. We walk our kids to and from school- a perfect time to also walk the dogs! Jenny likes to take a mid afternoon stroll around lunch, which is great for another dog walk. We also have a big backyard and play with dogs in the late afternoon and evenings, and on weekends we try to get as much playtime in as we can - especially outside! We have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly dog to play with your pup. Additionally, we have a daily routine of walks, playtime, food/treats, and lots and lots of tummy rubs and ear scratches.
About: I've always loved dogs and I'd love to take your pup for a walk! Pet history: I don't currently have a pet, but I had dogs growing up, I've lived with roommates who have dogs, and I've dog sit for friends many times. I've also had pet fish and even backyard chickens at one time! I love to get outside, go hiking, go for a long park walk, or go to a farmers market. It would be nice to bring a dog along. Home details: My partner and I are opening up our pet-friendly apartment for multi-day dog boarding. While it is small, I work remote most of the time so I'm home for frequent potty breaks. I work part time and have a small business on the side. My schedule is very variable and I can chose when I want to work, so I have lot of time to walk dogs. I prioritize getting out into nature in my personal life and it would be fun to have a furry friend along with me. Safety first! I had dogs growing up and I've dog walked several times for work. I know that dogs are like children to their owners so I respect whatever rules and dietary restrictions people have with their pets. I never let a dog eat things off the street or the trail. I always keep them on leash unless at the dog park. As for outdoor conditions, I know that dogs and their feet are sensitive to extreme temperatures so I'm always taking that into consideration. Either don't go out if it's too hot, or make sure the pup has shoes and/or sweater if the ground is freezing. It's important for dogs to stay hydrated so I'll make sure they have water available regularly.
“Charlie was great! Extremely responsive and receptive with my Puppy, kept us up to date and was a great experience to have dog sittint especially given the tight turnaround. If the opportunity was required I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again”
“Arin was the best!! Trooper was so happy and calm after her caring for him and she truly is an animal lover. She was responsible, responsive, and is a genuinely good nice person. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her when I have to go away again!”
“Casey was so accommodating and sweet! She was super flexible and let us change end times as needed! Thank you so so much for taking such great care of our baby, we’re so very grateful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wallington
Tracy was absolutely wonderful with Daisy! She took such great care of her and gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was in good hands while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and made sure Daisy was comfortable and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Daisy, and I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Lia was amazing! This was our first time using a Rover sitter, so we were pretty nervous. However, when we did the meet & greet, we knew Winston was going to be in good hands. Lia was understanding and respectful of the "rules" we have for Winston. She was also very respectful of our apartment. She took Winston out for a little adventure (with our permission) and kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos. We are so happy to now have a trustworthy sitter and a new buddy for Winston.
I’m so grateful for the wonderful care you gave my pup. ❤️ You treated him with so much love, patience, and kindness, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear how much you genuinely care about the animals you look after. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby! 🐾💕 I would absolutely recommend you and will definitely book with you again!
A last minute emergency left us without someone to care for our pup, Noah while we were on vacation. We tried a boarding facility but it stressed him out so much. Andrew was an absolute hero and took care of Noah with such short notice. He really went above and beyond and Noah loves him! We were able to enjoy our vacation without stressing! Thank you, Andrew!
Marisol was excellent! Although there were minor communication mistakes, she definitely made the effort to resolve those issues! She was very respectful and kind. Took great care of my home in my absence. Definitely very respectful and kind of other people’s belongings, pets, etc.
Terilyn is absolutely wonderful! I have very shy dogs, and I was nervous about how they would handle a new sitter, but Terilyn was patient and intuitive. She came up with creative ideas to help them feel comfortable and safe in her presence. Her communication was top-notch; she sent frequent updates that really put my mind at ease. I’m so happy I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional sitter!"
Kristine is the most caring, kind, and genuinely incredible person we have ever met on this app. The way she takes care of our puppies is truly amazing and she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and that my husband and I have nothing to worry about! She updates with photos all day, texts how they are doing and what they are doing, and answers her phone the second we text her. It is so obvious how much she adores animals, and our puppies adore her. We are so lucky to have found Kristine! Would recommend to anyone, and already booked her to watch our puppies many more times after her first visit. What a wonderful person!!!! We are blown away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wallington is $22 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $59 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 19,000 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wallington. 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 Wallington 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 Wallington 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 Wallington 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.
