“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Needed a cat sitter somewhat last minute for a foster cat I'm taking care of. Our foster is still very skiddish around new people but Samantha did a great job and always found her little hiding spots. She was also super accommodating when I asked to adjust the number of drop-ins for the last half of the booking.”

About: Hi, I’m My’Anna! I’m a Veterinary Technician with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both clinical and home settings. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who want to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need medications, extra monitoring, or special routines, and my veterinary background has taught me how to notice the little things that can make a big difference in a pet’s health and comfort. But great pet care isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s about getting to know the individual pet! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, favorite activities, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants a long walk, your cat prefers to watch me from across the room, or your senior pet simply wants some quiet company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident leaving them in my care and for your pet to be excited to see me again. As a part-time veterinary technician, I have flexibility in my schedule to give my Rover pets plenty of attention and one on one care. I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow their usual routine, respect your space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a vet tech, I’m also trained to pay close attention to changes in behavior and well being. I’ll keep your pet’s safety a priority while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially willing to put in the extra time and care senior pets may need, whether that’s moving at a slower pace, providing extra comfort, or paying close attention to their routines. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a student, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am completely free every weekday after 1:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening playtimes. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my classes finish even earlier, so I am available starting at 11:00 AM. My weekends are 100% open for boarding or house sitting. Because I'm home studying often, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and potty breaks they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they’re used to. I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and secure, always double-checking doors and gates. I make it a point to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and interaction so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I also communicate frequently and can send daily photo updates, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”

I will prioritize your animal when the help is needed. I feed, walk, and take care of my own dogs. I will carry this onto your pets and their needs. I will follow any instructions provided.

“Ashlee is an absolute lifesaver! We were in a bind where we had just adopted a 4-month-old kitten and one week later needed to unexpectedly travel out of town. We weren’t sure how little Mabel would do without someone around yet. Ashlee saved the day and spent a few nights at our house to ensure our little one, as well as our 3 y/o cat she’s been sitting for over a year now, we’re in great hands. It put my mind at ease knowing she was there. I trust her completely with being in our home and taking the best care of our fur babies.”

About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!

About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.

About: My name is Ashley, I’m 30 years old, and currently a third-year medical student on track to graduate and become a doctor in two years. Outside of school and studying, I enjoy caring for animals—especially dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 8 years old and have had three of my own, who now live with my parents. To me, dogs are family, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of health and responsibility—skills I’ve developed both through my medical training and my lifelong experience with dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I’m always attentive to their behavior, comfort, and safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, love, and care. As a current medical student, my schedule can be demanding, but I make time for the things that bring me joy—and caring for animals is one of them. I’m available part-time and can walk dogs or provide pet care on a daily basis, especially with some notice in advance. My study schedule is flexible, so I can plan around appointments or daily routines. Pet care is a great way for me to take a break, get outside, and do something meaningful—so I’m always happy to make it part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure to follow all instructions provided—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and ensure the pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of affection and attention. I also send updates and photos if requested, so clients can feel reassured that their pet is happy and well-cared for in their absence.

About: I’ve got 30+ years experience living with multiple cats. I’m more than capable of caring for your feline fur baby. I also love working with dogs. I have helped friends take care of dogs in the past, even little puppies. I have watched dogs overnight at my friends homes. I have days and weeks where I can spend tons of time looking after and caring for pets. I then have times where I am busy and don’t have the time. But I am very willing to look after your pet when I have the time! I would love to come into your home and care for your pet. I am always respectful of the space. I will love your pet as if it was my own.

“I was nervous leaving my two one-year-old cats for the first time for more than a long weekend, but Marlene made it so easy. Her communication was excellent - she sent lots of great photos and videos and let me know whenever she was coming and going, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. She also brought in our mail and packages and left the house spotless. Most importantly, my cats were clearly happy and seem to love her! I'll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

This was the first time we used a sitter through Rover and we were more than satisfied. Brian did everything we requested and more. He walked our dog even though we did not require him to and he checked on the cat (who hides). Our dog bonded with him the first time she met him. When we returned our pets were very happy to see us but we could tell from the reports and pictures Brian sent us that they were well cared for and happy. We will request Brian's services again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bellwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,857 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.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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 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.
