“Henry was amazing with our puppy. He kept us updated throughout and really brought peace to our dog while we were away. Would highly recommend his services and will be using him in the future!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Sam! I felt very comfortable with her from the moment I met her at our meet and greet. We will definitely book her again.”
“Dawn was warm, professional and reliable. I will totally use her again! I could tell that she had genuine care for animals and she had a great positive attitude. She was great about checking in and sending pics of my fur babies”
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
“Simply put, Sara is the best dog sitter I've ever used! She being a dog mom to big dogs herself instantly put my mind at ease. She made sure she asked all the questions, knew exactly what my girl needed, and completely made me feel so comfortable. I was overseas for a week and had anxiety beforehand about how my dog would do without me that long but Sara made sure I was completely informed and able to enjoy my trip. Lucy is so excited to now have Sara as a sitter!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets through my life- dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, even bunnies. I am a foster mom with experience fostering young kittens, administering medications, and giving them a safe space to grow. I currently have some days off during the week, so I have some extra time to provide pet care! I am also available on the weekends. I care for pets in their own homes in addition to house sitting! I can spend the night or pop in throughout the day according to your preference.
About: Hi, I’m Danya! If you’re looking for someone who understands that your pet isn't just an animal, but a cherished member of your family, you’ve found the right match. :) With years of hands-on experience, I treat your pet's time with me as a specialized staycation, turning your absence into a relaxing, high-quality vacation tailored entirely to their comfort. Whether I am caring for dogs, cats, birds, or bunnies, my goal is to blend your exact daily routine with a premium level of attention that keeps them happy and stress-free. For dogs, their staycation includes maintaining their familiar walking structures and routines to keep them active and content. Cats enjoy a peaceful, pampering routine where fresh food and water bowls are constantly maintained, litter boxes are kept pristine, and they receive patient, one-on-one interaction on their own terms. My versatile care also extends to specialized pets; I am well-versed in providing a calm, clean oasis and precise dietary handling for birds, too! By focusing on total comfort and detail-oriented care, I ensure your pets are living their best lives at home while you enjoy your time away. As a student, my academic calendar is set well in advance, my availability is steady, predictable, and highly dependable. I manage my time meticulously to ensure that school never interferes with the explicit promises, time slots, and routines we set for your fur baby! Inviting someone into your private space requires an immense amount of trust. Because I value that trust, my goal is to leave both your pet and your home in pristine condition. When I perform drop-in visits or walks, I treat your property with the same high level of care and respect that I give to your fur baby.
“Alyssa is a real sweetheart..our dogs loved her and when we came home they were super happy. The house was left clean and tidy and everything was in its place the way it should be... I will recommend the service provided to anyone who loves there pet. I will definitely be using Rover again and Alyssa will be my first choice by far.. Many thanks Alyssa”
“Amanda is awesome… We were nervous about having a stranger watch our Stella girl. But we found out almost immediately that we had picked the right sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Italia took great care of Ernie the last four nights. The boy took to her right away (usually it takes 2 or 3 days for him to warm up to his sitter), and seemed really comfortable hanging out with her. She treated my house and my cat like they were hers, and what more can you ask? Her communications were on-point, and my daily photos/videos were great. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet and Italia is available, both you and your furry kid should jump at the opportunity. We already have Italia booked for two more sits!”
“Catherine watched my fur babes while I was in Europe. She was fantastic! I got lots of pictures and daily updates all of which eased my mind while away. I HIGHLY recommend”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life — growing up with several of both, and currently living with one cat of my own. I'm comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, from playful puppies to shy senior cats. I'm responsive, detail-oriented, and experienced giving medication on a routine-schedule, so pets with medical needs are never an issue for me. I work from home running my own business, which gives me a flexible and consistent schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house-sitting at your home, with plenty of time to give your pet attention and stick to their routine. When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail as my own. I follow your instructions exactly — feeding times, medication schedules, and routines — and I'm comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I always make sure doors are secure and your home is left just as I found it.
“Amanda was awesome! She was quick to respond and accommodate a last minute overnight. She updated us regularly and followed all instructions. She was able to navigate my older dog’s needs which made us feel at ease while away. We will definitely be using her as our regular sitter!”
About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life. I had two cats for over 10 years, and I also have plenty of experience spending time with and caring for my sister’s dog. I genuinely love animals and feel comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at understanding each pet’s personality and earning their trust. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule because I’m not working a full-time job, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with pets throughout the week. I’m very careful, responsible, and attentive when caring for pets. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their environment. I’m friendly and patient, and I take every pet’s routine and needs seriously. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and interaction, so they never feel bored or ignored while they’re in my care.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life, from big breeds like German Shepherds to small ones like Maltipoos, so I'm comfortable with every size and energy level. For the past four years I've raised my own dachshund on my own, which taught me how much routine, patience, and attention to small details matter for a dog's happiness. I'm active and reliable, so your pup gets a real walk, not a rushed lap around the block. I'll treat your dog the way I treat mine, and keep you updated with photos so you never have to wonder how the walk went. work a part-time schedule that leaves my Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays completely open, so I'm available around the clock on those days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I have my own dachshund, so morning walks, feeding schedules, and keeping a dog active and happy come naturally to me. On my open days, your pup gets my full attention and a consistent schedule you can count on week after week. In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you set it, from feeding times and portions to walks, play, and any medications. I keep fresh water out, clean up after every meal and walk, and leave your home as tidy as I found it. On walks, I keep a steady pace matched to your dog's size and energy, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and always use a secure leash. I send photo updates after every visit, and if anything seems off with your pet's appetite, energy, or health, I'll let you know right away.
About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.
“Daniel sat for me twice. He was great with Freja, sent updates and was responsive while I was away. I really appreciated how he left the place clean and stayed a little longer to make sure she was fed and went outside before I got home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Park
Lauren house sat while we were out of the country and did an amazing job watching my baby Layla. I loved that she sent me updates with pictures and videos so I could see how much of a good time my pup was having. Lauren is so pleasant to work with, reliable, and a great pet sitter for your fur baby!
Jennifer did a great job watching my home and my pet. She was responsive, communicative and very pleasant to work with. Arrived to a couple of appointments on time. Loved the pictures of our little one as we were away for 10 days and missing her. We will definitely request Jennifer again when we go on our next adventure.
Maggie is the best!!! We are so happy that we found her and she was able to stay and take care of our dog, Benji. Benji can be a bit skiddish and he warmed right up to Maggie. We can tell that he was really well looked after. She was a great communicator and sent us updates throughout our trip. She watched Benji at our house and left our place spotless. Would 100% recommend! Your pup will be in great hands.
I can’t say enough great things about him! He stepped in to care for my three babies while my regular full-time sitter was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. He came highly recommended by my regular sitter, and from day one he made the transition completely seamless. He followed all of their routines and instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and most importantly, Leia, Luke, and Vader absolutely loved him. 🐾❤️ I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my dogs, especially when I’m traveling, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in his hands. Coming into someone else’s established routine and handling everything so effortlessly says a lot. Reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover. I would absolutely have him watch my babies again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.
Charlotte was so wonderful with my senior pup. She was communicative and reliable from the initial meet and greet to her arrival time and all during her stay. She checked in daily and was even flexible with my return due to a delayed flight. 12/10 would recommend
Brunna was amazing. Brunna house sat for me while I was out of town for the Labor Day weekend and did an amazing job looking after Meeko and Stitch. Brunna came over to meet my babies and give her a walk through of my apartment a couple days I went out of town. It was immediately clear her kindness and sweetness was recognized immediately by my boys and they loved her as soon as she came into the apartment. While I was out of town Brunna shared updates with me and took the cutest photos of them. I cant wait for my next trip to ask Brunna to watch over the boys again.
Hali was absolutely amazing! She was available on short notice and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures and even shared their walking routes, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up the apartment and doing the laundry before leaving. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Hali and will definitely be using her again! 🐾🩷

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,593 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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.
