About: I grew up breeding and raising boxer puppies with my family, my father is a veterinarian so I’ve had a bunch of first hand experience. I love taking care of and hanging out with all kinds of dogs, and I love training them as well. I'm currently taking online courses, so my schedule is very flexible. I can walk dogs practically anytime of the day as well as going to houses and taking care of them or whatever service is needed. I have a fairly large fenced backyard that the dogs can run around and have fun in with plenty of toys for them to play with. I also have experience with all sizes of dogs. I look forward to being able to take care of any dogs that I can. I'm currently taking online courses, between that and a couple of hours training at the gym I have plenty of free time to look after your fur babies. I like to always be near so I have a dog bed in my bedroom which is where all my previous pups normally slept, but they are free to roam and explore my home. I also have a large crate if needed.
“The absolute best!! I’ve been using Gerano for months now. He’s checked in on my dogs several times that ive been out of town. My dogs love him. He is very communicative. He does a fantastic job. Always on time and extremely reliable.”
“This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family. With Rover, it was easy to find someone nearby that had good reviews. We contacted Calli and she was very responsive. She came to meet our pups and you could just tell she really cared. We’re extremely pleased with the attention she gave the doggies and were so happy that they were in good hands while we weren’t home. We will definitely be using Calli’s services again in the future! Thank you!!!”
“Ashley was amazing! Our cats loved her and she took great care of our home. We felt so relieved she was able to look after our gatos very last minute. She was very attentive, super friendly, great with communication, sent lots of photos and updates of our fur babies, gave our cats treats and much love. We are just so happy and grateful Ashley was our pet sitter. I will definitely book again if she is available in the future! 1000% worth it. Thank you Ashley!!”

“Caroline was very helpful and sweet when she watched my four pups. My previous sitter canceled on me just a week before my trip. When I found Caroline she was able to help me when others told me no. She even boarded my pups when she told me that she does not normally. Caroline and her husband sent me photos of my pups while I was away. Also she was very helpful when I had to come back early.”

I am a fellow sitter that needed a sitter for my cat. Jediah is friendly and responsible. She was attentive during our video-chat meet-and-greet and communicated throughout the process. Our cat was happy when we got home which shows me that she provided amazing care. I definitely recommend Jediah.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arcola on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
