About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. Because I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, allowing me to offer unmatched attentiveness and flexible scheduling throughout the day. Being steps away at all times means I am always available to maintain strict medication timelines, monitor health cues, and provide companionship whenever it's needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! When caring for your pets in their own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their familiar routine, comfort, and security while ensuring they remain safely inside. Because my own fur babies are inside-only apartment pets, I am naturally vigilant about home safety, secure entryways, and preventing any accidental escapes. I focus on replicating their exact daily schedules, from precise feeding and medication times to their preferred play and rest windows. By providing dedicated, one-on-one attention in the environment where they feel most confident, I ensure they receive both the physical care and the comforting companionship they need to feel completely relaxed and happy while you are away.
“Cassie came to walk and feed Stella as planned, and sent regular updates as well as taking out the trash for us and generally checking on the house. Stella was very comfortable!”
“Lisa is the BEST. I don't think the character limit is long enough to express how wonderful she is. We left on an international trip at a time our pup is also going through some medical things and we only felt okay leaving because we knew Lisa would take such amazing care of him. She keeps in great contact and sends so many cute pictures and videos! Our pup is a high energy guy and she plays with him so much while also making sure he gets enough rest. She was comfortable giving him meds, including having to change a dosage mid-trip. I think our dog was actually a little disappointed it was us coming through the door instead of Lisa. 😂 She is so patient with our pup and all his quirks and we feel so lucky to have found Lisa!”
“Leaving your pets is difficult, especially when they are senior dogs. It was our first pet sitting with Rover. We selected Michael because of the customer reviews and rebooks. From the start he was professional, very communicative, asked the right questions and has a genuine interest in animals. My shy, very protective 9 year old was immediately in his lap and did not leave… which was very surprising- but they say a dog knows… I received pictures, updates, and stories about their quirky personalities that for someone watching your dogs for the first time was refreshing. The house was better than what I left it including washing the sheets and remaking the bed. Do I recommend Michael? Well I’m afraid to do so because I don’t want him to book up!! But yes, my dogs were healthy, happy and literally quite spoiled. I hope that he is free the next time I need to take a trip, but will probably book my trip around his schedule!!! Thank you Michael for taking such good care of my babies!! You made my time away stress free.”
“We booked Hannah with very little notice for a 2 week stay with our three indoor/outdoor cats. She was timely, responsive, and we returned to contented, calm cats who had clearly been well-cared for! Hannah took great care of our cats, and we would happily book her again!”
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jesper handled Pirate with such care! There were some issues with our neighbors and Jesper was excellent at defusing the situation, (probably better than we would have). We highly recommend him for any pet sit and will request his skills and help again!”
“Kelsey was responsive and responsible, and we were so happy with her. We had a dog and two cats and she was able to make the time on short notice. When we left I felt very confident our pets and house would be in good hands. Highly recommended.”
“Anna is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs and two cats, and was really good about communicating. She even sent us pictures of our fur babies, and updates on how they were doing. She was super respectful of our house, and is so kind and great with our animals. Our cats and dogs warmed up to her quickly and she genuinely cares about them! I recommend her highly--you won't be disappointed!”
“Jason is a wonderful house sitter. He took amazing care of our home, our 2 dogs and pet fish. Great communication from start to finish, getting regular photos and check ins really made us feel at ease. I’ve had some nightmare pet sitter experiences in the past, and I’m thrilled to say that is all behind me. My family and I will book trips knowing we have an awesome, trusted person who treats our dogs as his own. We took a 10 day trip to see family and I didn’t spend one second worrying, it was fantastic! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. Thank you Jason!!!”
“It was clear how much Christine cherished our pets - despite our dog being a true handful. She bought them new toys and communicated with us often. Providing crisp, clear instructions seemed to be helpful”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.
“Branden took excellent care of our to energetic dogs. He made sure that they got their medications and spent a lot of time playing with them. We would be happy to have him as a dog sitter again!”
About: While working as a pet groomer we had several pets be left overnight for boarding to which I had to tend to all animals who were left. So I’m already very accustomed to the whole pet boarding regiment and a professional level. I work an overnight schedule to which I’m able to set my own hours or leave at a moments notice should anything occur. I live in Bremerton and work in Bainbridge so I travel through all those cities. I have a big fenced in front and back yard on a lake property in a peaceful cul-de-sac. I’m happy to crate train a pet if need be. I’m also happy to groom your pet if need be.
“Our little Molly is 18, hard of hearing and has poor eyesight. Despite her age, she still goes up and down the staircase to our bedroom where she spends most of her time. Given her needs, we looked for a stay-in caretaker. Alyssa was a great fit because she works remotely so she was able to work from our house. She took wonderful care of Molly and kept us informed on how things were going so we were able to enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy and relaxed dog, a clean and tidy house, laundered linens, plus a lovely vase of flowers and thank-you note. We will definitely reach out to Alyssa the next time we travel!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,697 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Warrenville. 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 Warrenville 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 Warrenville 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 Warrenville 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.
