About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know what makes your pet feel most at ease. Whether your pet loves neighborhood walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m happy to tailor my visits to what they enjoy most. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines and giving a little extra patience and attention to puppies or senior pets. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect I would want someone to give my own. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so my pet care availability is primarily in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. This makes me a great fit for after-work walks, evening drop-ins, dinner and feeding visits, playtime, and weekend care. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can accommodate visits throughout the day depending on my schedule and your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking so we can make sure your pet’s normal routine can be maintained. When I commit to caring for your pet, I make their scheduled time a priority and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection during each visit. I currently provide pet care in your home, allowing your pet to stay in the environment where they already feel safest and most comfortable. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I take both your pet’s safety and the security of your home seriously. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, medications, walking routines, crate schedules, household rules, or any other special care your pet may need. I’ll also keep their space clean and comfortable, make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure, and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes large breeds such as Mastiffs and Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, domestic cats, Sphynx cats, and feral cats. I have also worked in a doggy daycare under the supervision of a veterinarian, which gave me additional experience in a professional animal-care setting. I understand the importance of patience, safety, following care instructions, and recognizing that every animal has different needs and behaviors. I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give pet owners peace of mind while they are away. i am currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby’s! i’m available for over nights as well! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine, feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection while making sure they get the exercise and care they need.

About: My experience working in a veterinary hospital over the years has given me valuable hands on experience caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets, understanding their individual needs, and recognizing signs that something may be wrong. Whether caring for senior pets, or animals who need a little extra patience and attention, I believe every pet deserves compassionate, attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I have two pets of my own a large and small breed dog that I care for daily with feedings, making sure they get their daily activities in. They are older but still sharp as a rock. I also used to care for about 8-10 outdoor cats and 4 indoor cats before I moved to North Carolina. I was doing that for about 3 years and loved every second of it. My own pets get fed around the same time every evening, we go for walks over the weekend and during the week if they are up for it. I am very good at keeping them on a schedule, however some days are different and not always the same depending on work and what life decides to throw at me. I will do my best to keep your pets on a schedule if I must and I can take them for walks, play with them, even take naps with them!

I know every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to learn what makes your pet happy so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. You’ll receive regular photo updates and communication so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention! Very flexible job and also schedule to run in and out to go potty, on a walk or play. I will love on your babies with everything I have!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Alton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 511 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alton. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
