“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.”
“Alexandra dropped in to check on my 2 kittens. She was very responsive and available for a meet and greet on short notice. I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Kelley has been amazing with our puppy Beau. She stops by during the day to check in while we’re at work and always gives him great care and attention. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we really appreciate how reliable and kind she is. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!”
“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”
About: I’m a warm, friendly, and dependable pet sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra attention and cuddles. I have open availability during the summer (June 13–August 10), which allows me to provide flexible visits, walks, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the day. During the rest of the year, I’m available before 7:30 AM and after 3:30 PM on weekdays, with additional flexibility on weekends. I’m reliable and committed to making sure your pet gets consistent care, exercise, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. I always supervise interactions and make sure every pet feels safe and at ease. I treat every pet like my own and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away.
“Kelsey is amazing! She took such good care of my kitties while I was away and I was actually able to enjoy my vacation. She was very communicative and took great photos and videos. She spent time and played with them and I can tell that they had a lot of fun with her which definitely eased my anxiety of leaving them. Will book again for sure! :)”
“Cecelia is the best! Our dog is shy and gets anxious but he warmed up to her really fast. Cecelia took care of all our requests and went above and beyond playing with our dog and lotsa belly rubs. We'll definitely reach out to her again for future drop in visits!”
“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.”
“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”

“Jannatul was amazing! She took great care of our two cats. Through videos and text messages, she did a great job of keeping us informed of our cats' well-being. We will definitely ask Jannatul to cat sit again.”
“Amy helped me at the last moment to take care of my 18yo dog Sky due to a military obligation. She was caring, communicative, and loving to Sky. I WILL definitely use her again. Thanks!!!”

About: I’m a very passionate and experienced dog care taker with a deep love for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my friends and family since I was 10 years old, and have owned 4 dogs myself of all different breeds. I’m used to all types of dogs, including senior dogs and large dogs. My goal isn’t to just take care of basic needs, but to make every moment special for your furry friends! Your pets well being and your peace of mind is my top priority always. I’m currently available all hours of the day! I do accept same day bookings, but at least with a couple hours in advance. I’m a bit of a night owl as well, so nighttime walks/visits are welcome! I will cater to your needs in your specific home environment. Whether it be throwing a ball in the backyard, playing inside the house, or just showing them some love, I’ll do it all! I understand the important of exercise and companionship for pets. I want to make sure they are comfortable in their own home and show them the best time possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
Emily was our first Rover that we used since we adopted our kitty. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent very cute pictures of our kitty as well as followed all directions we gave while we were gone. We would definitely use her 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!
Ali is amazing-she’s someone we can always count on to take great care of our kitties. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind with our pets. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arcola on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 242 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arcola. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
