“Our feline princess is in her later years (19), and we are happy to spoil her in every way possible. We are thrilled to have found someone who looks after her with the same care as we do. Hope always arrives as arranged and takes the utmost care in looking after feeding and box cleaning as needed during her drop-in visits. We could not have dreamed for a better care-taker than Hope!”

About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.

About: I am a responsible college graduate in the northern suburbs of Chicago that loves spending time with all animals. I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have been around various types of pets, ranging from hamsters & guinea pigs to chihuahuas & Great Danes. I grew up with dogs of my own and I have watched family & friends dogs to make some extra side money. I have experience being around dogs of all sizes. I am kind & loving, but firm when required. Dogs generally take to me quite well. I am a responsible adult who takes the obligation to care for your pet very seriously. I will provide your cat(s), dog(s), and other pets you may have the care they will require while you're away right in their own home! I enjoy spending time outside for exercise so your dog will get plenty of walking time with me. I will give your pet plenty of attention & take meticulous care of its needs. I will treat him or her as if it were my own. ❤️ With my service, you will be stress free with being assured of a reliable and responsible service. As a pet owner you are often faced with that dilemma of what to do with your pet(s) when you need to travel away from home or even just the daily things that come with owning a pet. My main goal is to provide that loving & personal care for your pet(s). My service is here to see that your pets are happy campers meaning, they are happy in their own home where they feel safe & secure! I understand that it can be inconvenient to take your pet(s) to a daycare, kennel and or having to leave them with family or friends. This is why I am in this field of business and will provide you with that reliable, responsible and secure pet sitting service; which in turn will not only have your pet(s) feeling safe and secure but also you as well while you are away. All you have to do is let me know what will need to be done in order to make your pet(s) happy and don't worry as I will take care of the rest! To learn more about my services, just contact me. Currently I am looking for a part-time job working with animals. Therefore, I have plenty of time to love on, & play with your pups! Snuggling up together on the couch & watching some classic throwbacks on a rainy day are my favorite go-to. When the sun is shining bright, time outdoors is a must!!! 😊

About: I own 4 cats, also owned 2 dogs in the past that lived to their golden age. My cats range in age from 12 - 2.

My car is very safe and I will put them in the backseat. If there are special requirements, please let me know.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently check on and feed a family friends dogs on the weekends when needed, I always leave the space how I found it and make sure the dogs have enough water and haven't gotten into anything they are not supposed to, I have experience with difficult dogs and have been researching dog behavior and training these past 3 years. I take every job I'm given very seriously and I am dedicated to the safety and well being of any animal I am responsible for, and I am more than willing to follow any special instructions in regards to your animal. every dog is different and I aim to give the best care to every dog put in my care. I am open to caring for dogs that need extra special care and attention such as reactivity or anxiety, or likely to run away if given the chance. I look forward helping out with your animals in whatever way I can. I work 2 days a week, and go to school 3 days a week, but I have lots of downtime on the weekends and evenings during the week when caring for animals in your home I will always double check that doors are closed and lights are off/on, and leave everything the way it was when I got there, as well as making sure your dog hasn't gotten into anything.

“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Savanah :) I have been a dog owner for about 15 years. My current fur babies I have had for 6 years. I have a Keeshond dog (Nykee) and a Maine Coon cat (Thunder). I've stayed with various friends and family dogs for weeks at a time. Just recently, my sweet dog Nykee had to have a 6-inch tumor removed from under his armpit. It was very traumatic for him. They had to shave part of him and he was in so much pain anytime he moved at all. I found a natural way to help heal him and slept on the floor, petting him the entire night. It broke my heart to see him in so much pain. I would do anything to help him feel better. Thankfully he has healed and now living his best life. I promise to love your dogs that are so much more than pets. My promise to you is to love them like family. I am currently working part-time as a photographer. My schedule is very flexible. I am available to stay over at your home to always be around for your pets. I understand also that things can come up quickly and I am available to stay short hours or long night(s). You can contact me as soon as you know you need a sitter ♥️ I am very flexible. I care for my sweet pets by feeding them and making sure he has a full water bowl. I take him for walks early in the morning because he has a lot of fur and I don't want him to get overheated. I also let him sleep in my room, but I always have his fan running to keep him cool as well. He loves to lay by his fan, and I will play him the ukelele too. I take him for car rides too because he loves being in the car + I do give him puppy-chinos from Starbucks :)

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Antioch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Antioch on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,234 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Antioch. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
