About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by all kinds of pets! Over the years, I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds of my own, and I’ve also loved helping care for the pets of friends and family. I’m comfortable with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, a big dog, or a sweet senior pet. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their little personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, keeping them company, or giving them extra cuddles, I want every pet to feel happy, safe, and loved. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I always do my best to make that experience as worry-free as possible. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry (and feathered!) friends! 🤍 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am available most of the day. I work my availability around my one-year-old’s nap times, which allows me plenty of opportunities for drop-in visits and pet check-ins. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate times that work best for you and your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I provide care in your home, I’ll make sure to follow your instructions, respect your space, and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and respectful of your home. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I grew up with many cats and dogs. My parents never could turn down an animal so we ended up with a lot of them. Over the last few years, I’ve been caring for parent’s senior cat, Percy. He’s back with them for now- so I’m excited to be a sitter on rover and help care for some other pets! I’m currently in a 9 AM- 5 PM class with a nice relaxed pace. I have availability before and after work to help care for your pet(s). If needed, I can stop by on lunch breaks as well. I live in an apartment! Currently, I do not have a pet permit so can’t care for pets in my space but am happy to come over to house/apartment and help out!
About: I am a big animal lover! I am very energetic, dedicated, and reliable. I have fostered many dogs/puppies within the last five years. I have been properly trained by my local humane society as a dog walker. I also learned how to read a dogs body language at the Humane Society. I have experience with administering insulin to both cats and dogs (I had two cats with diabetes and i've given multiple dogs their insulin shots over the years). I am not a certified trainer but i do have experience training puppies. i can provide plenty of recommendations to prove my competency. I have a very open schedule and would love to help you out with your pets! I look forward to hearing from you:) I currently have two cats that were former strays (I take in any cat that will allow me to). I feed them at the same times every day and keep a strict routine to ensure minimal anxiety. I am going to college and have a lot of free time that I can fill-up with caring for others pets. I am available every day of the week at various times - mainly the mornings and evenings. Let’s in my home get meals on a tight schedule. I feed my cats organs, quail eggs, kibble, and rotations of meats and fish. I will feed guest pets in my home whatever they are used to eating as to not upset their tummies! I have a quiet home with plenty of space, toys, stimuli, filtered water fountain, and quiet/low traffic areas. I also have a kitty stroller and catio for extra enrichment. I always approach pets with a gentle and slow demeanor. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 24 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bellwood. 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.

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.
