“Super happy with the care provided for my dog and cat during the drop-in visit. Both were well taken care of. I had a last minute trip and June was available to assist. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.
“Mercedez was absolutely wonderful with our terrible trio of cats. She dealt easily with the medical needs of our senior cat, including giving fluids several times. She also managed to coax out Manny, who doesn't like change and spooks easily, and get him to not only be in the same room but actually let her pet him. Moe was his usual attention-seeking self and she kept him happy too. Mercedez was great with communication and providing pictures the entire time we were gone. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly ask her to watch the cats again.”
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”
“Emily was so kind and amazing with our cats! It was so reassuring knowing our cats were in such good hands while we were away. I can't recommend Emily highly enough and can't wait to have her care for my cats again.”
About: I have years of professional experience working in veterinary hospitals caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My veterinary background has made me comfortable with senior pets, puppies, medication needs, special needs, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I’m primarily available on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, with flexibility depending on your pet’s routine and needs. I have years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine and your specific instructions, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Lauren was super professional, on time, great communication, and most importantly took wonderful care of my kitty. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a caring Catsitter!”
“Best experience I have had on ROVER for Kona. Esther was VERY professional and responsive and really took care of Kona. Will 100% be my first go to here on out needing drop in visits”
“Mindy has been an excellent and reliable to work with. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to make our experience much better. I highly recommend working with her.”
“We really appreciated Nouf watching our cat. Her visit summaries were detailed and we could tell our cat liked her. She took great pictures and we knew our cat enjoyed seeing her. We hope Nouf is available for our next trip as we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Monique is wonderful! She came for a drop-in visit with my senior dog and I am very pleased. She is clearly a dog lover, is reliable, and great communication. And, she sends some cute photos too! I will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you Monique!”
“So grateful for Karisa's excellent care. I booked her already twice and my cat(s) was/were in great hands. She was punctual and reliable, and was able to give my cat her medication. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I'll definitely be using her services again.”
“Cecelia was so great with our cats! Both Bunny and Eggy warmed up to her quickly and she was so patient with them. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were well taken care of and Cecelia gave us very thorough updates for each of her drop ins that made us feel reassured. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
About: Hello! I’m June and live in Aldie. I have 2 dog of my own. I have been around dog since I was really young. I like to fresh cook food for my dog, make sure they are healthy and take them for a walk. When looking for a flexible part time job, I started searching ‘jobs with animals’ because I love animals ! This job allows me to be around different types of dogs and hang out with them and go for walks. ALL great things! I am so happy to take care of your pets while you are away. I love long walks, fetch over and over and over, and treating your pet how I would want my pet to be treated! I am currently working from home. So I have a lot of freedom, I am free on weekdays before 5pm. I can work around my clients need. I am a pet owner as well so I will like to treat my clients dog just like how I will like my fur baby to be treat. We lived in a townhouse so small dog is ideal for boarding.
“Megan watched my two mature cats for five days, and I couldn't have gotten a better person! She followed all instructions, including giving my male his daily insulin shot. She loved on them as if they were her babies. I was given updates at each visit and adorable pictures. If you need her to take care of your fur babies, know that she will be a great sitter. I only wish she weren't leaving our local area next month.”
About: I’ve had dogs, horses, and rodents, my whole life except a five year stint when I traveled. I have my own dog who’s three years old named Kevin. He’s the most spoiled boy! Kevin isn’t friendly with other dogs so I have plenty of experience walking dogs who need to avoid contact with other dogs. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furbabies and treating them like my own. I work during the day so I am available evenings and weekends. I have a slightly flexible schedule that allows me to be available early mornings. I will follow the pet owners guide to the letter. If you have a preferred walking path, I will take it. I always come equipped with poop bags, toys, and a first aid kit in case of emergencies. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will keep you updated with times, pictures, and a description of the care I provide.

Emily did a great job taking care of our cat! She was attentive to what care we requested and was able to adjust when circumstances called for it. She also sent us great pictures of our cat every day and communicated well how he was doing. Our cat got along well with her, and was his normal, happy self when we got home.
Amy was fantastic! She spent a lot of time taking care of our elderly dog and cat, making sure they ate, had clean bowls and fresh water every visit. She was very sweet and gave them so much love and attention. They warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again!
Jannatul is absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. She has such a calm and caring demeanour, which really puts our minds at ease whenever we travel overseas. My husband and I are particularly anxious about leaving our cats behind, but knowing they’re in Jannatul’s care gives us so much peace of mind. This is our second time using her services, and we will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Jannatul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and gentle with their pets.
Hue was absolutely amazing with my cat, Luna! She was both attentive and communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Luna was comfortable and well taken care of. She sent thoughtful updates and paid attention to little details, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arcola on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcola. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
