Cat Sitting Belvidere

“We’ve used Scott several times now and he has always come through for us even on short notice. He’s great with our normally very shy dogs. 10/10”

“Alyssa went above and beyond! Our dogs love her!”

Janet L.

“Gretchen was wonderful! Our first time hiring a pet sitter and she made us feel much more at ease about it. She showed up, did everything asked of her for our 2 dogs, 2 cats, & 2 aquariums. I felt she was very capable of administering insulin to our newly diabetic kitty. Kept in daily contact providing updates and many pictures which is always reassuring. Even sent photos of our chickens which we did not hire her to provide care for. <3 Looking forward to having her come help with our fur babies in the future.”

“Sam was absolutely amazing with my dog, Ace! She came to my home for daily dog-sitting visits while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention she gave him. Ace can be a little reserved with new people, but he took to Sam right away—which says a lot. She made sure he was well cared for, got plenty of love and attention, and stayed on his routine. The updates and photos she sent were so reassuring and showed just how happy and relaxed he was in her care. It’s such a relief to know that Ace was safe, content, and in his own environment with someone I completely trust. I came home to a happy dog —what more could I ask for? I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“We chose Brittney being that she is local, and also had some great reviews! I have no problem leaving another 5 star review. From our first “meet and greet” Brittney has been awesome! Very easy to work with, easy going and accommodating. Has a great work ethic and takes great care of our pup Leia, (Princess) from feeding, to walking and just spending time with her socializing.”

RALPH S.

“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”

David A H.

“Autumn is awesome and reliable! She goes wayyy above and beyond! And she actually gives Kelce (cat) attention and gets her toys out and plays with her. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”

Roxanne B.

“Allie provides excellent care and attention to our cat during her visits. She provides expert documentation via the report cards, which gives me much peace of mind. I book with Allie time after time for while we are away. I know my very particular (11 year old) Siamese is in expert hands.”

Elizabeth A.

“David was very caring and took the time to help my dogs get used to him.”

Heidi M.

“Jessi was wonderful. I booked her at the last minute. Her response time was great and she accommodated my needs. Would definitely rebook her.”

Nina S.

“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet lover with over 5 years on Rover, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. As the proud owner of two Great Danes, ages 1 and 2, I understand the needs of larger breeds, from daily exercise to specialized care. My experience with these gentle giants has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to handle big personalities with ease. Whether you need someone to walk, feed, or simply keep your pets company, you can trust me to provide the care and love they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I work at schools and have a lot of flexibility in the summer to meet your needs. My experience with large breeds means I’m comfortable managing pets of all sizes, ensuring they get the exercise, companionship, and attention they need. I look forward to giving your pets a safe and caring environment while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities during every visit, walk and stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I ensure a safe environment by following your routines and respecting any special instructions you provide. I take precautions to make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure, and I always keep your pet on a leash during walks, using proper harnesses or collars to prevent accidents. I’m also vigilant about their surroundings to avoid any risks, such as unsafe plants, other animals, or traffic. Building trust with you and your pet is essential. I keep communication open, sharing updates and photos so you know how things are going and feel reassured that your pet is in good hands. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate time and attention to meet each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for even when you’re not there.

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

“Grace and Brett were amazing! They treated Mila like she was their own! I was nervous at first (always am when someone new comes to keep an eye on her), but they immediately loved on our girl! They were attentive and super communicative! Loved the pictures they sent throughout! I WILL book them again!”

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She was very caring and spent quality time with our dog Mya who loved her! Sarah was always on time and provided thorough feedback at each visit. I felt Mya was in wonderful hands and will definitely being using Sarah again and highly recommend her!”

Karen S.

“Darlene was a perfect match for our pup Daphne. Darlene is down-to-earth and it’s clear she’s worked around animals for a long time, and knows what to do. Daphne is a 14-week old puppy and Darlene knew exactly the kind of attention she needed. Darlene kept us updated with photos and explained each visit.”

About: I have taken care or animals for the past 8 years. I have been utilized by my friends and family to feed, watch, play, and work on training. I work at a wildlife refuge in the mornings then I can dedicate all of my time after that commitment to taking care of your pets. My refuge time can become flexible but that will have to be discussed prior if it is necessary. Safety, trust, and the well-being of pets are my top priorities. When pet sitting or dog walking, I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, maintain a secure environment, provide fresh water, exercise, and attention, and monitor pets for any signs of illness or distress. I treat every pet with patience and care, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.

“Mason instantly has a great connection with every animal he meets. He even pets my cat that hates everyone and hides constantly. His response time and attention to detail is highly commendable. I can leave knowing my animals are in genuine loving care.”

Robert B.

“We had such a great experience! Our request was very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She even came by before our trip to go over everything, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was so kind, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. She not only took great care of our cats, but was also able to check on our chickens, which we really appreciated. It made being away so much easier knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: Hello! I am new to Rover . I grew up with a pug and now have a energetic Boston terrier! I can walk, and spend time with, or feed your pets. I absolutely love cats AND dogs. I look forward to getting to know you furry family member! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention and care they need! My schedule is pretty open! I am always careful with entering someone’s house because I know my cat try’s to get out and I am careful when walking dogs in case they don’t get along with other dogs as my dog does not.
