“Danielle was amazing and communicative. She took great care of our 3 cats while we were away. Her daily visits made sure they were fed, had water, and clean litter boxes! She’s the best!”
“Highly communicative and willing to drop by for a meet & greet with our dogs before the sitting date. She’s great to work with and we look forward to having her dog sit again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was a small child. I have two kids of my own ages 10 and 13, who are also animal lovers! We are a busy family that can’t commit to having a pet full time at this moment but would love to have cats and dogs in the home when we can! I currently work part time, so I have 2 full days off during the week and weekends to help out with dog walking and pet sitting/boarding. I can come to you or you can choose to bring your pets to me if that works out. I can also drop in after work days at night if needed after 430pm. I can offer dog walking and companionship as well as car rides if your pup likes those! Really just depends on what you and your pet need and I can make it happen. I have a safe home with a nice Fenced in yard and we live across the street from a large park where they can play!
About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life and have also loved and taken care of cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I know our pets are our family and I will love and respect yours like they are my own. I am off for the Summer and have an open schedule for your beloved pet. After August, I am available after 4:00pm for any pet care needed I am able to provide care, companionship, walks, love, and medications as needed. Please let me know if your pet has anything they don’t like so I can make sure to give the exactly the comfort they are looking for.
“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”
About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me. As a mom to a two-year-old, I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide reliable, attentive pet care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give pets plenty of time, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and a steady routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality, creating a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Veerali was amazing and took wonderful care of all of our cats!!! I had to contact her last minute as we had a death in the family and had to travel out of town on short notice. She made time to do a meet and greet the same day I reached out, and was immediately great with all the cats when she met them. From bringing in packages, to cleaning up an accident, Veerali went above and beyond. Plus, she sent the funniest photos, which was a bright spot in a difficult time. 10/10 recommend, I’m already about to book more dates. Thank you!!!”
“Luz was an excellent care taker for our baby boy! She was very detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures! Her knowledge of caring for dogs definitely came in handy since our boy suffers from a bit of anxiety. She was able to asses when he was a little nervous and give his medication when needed. Our corgi can very hyper and insistent, so he needs someone with a calming and centered personality to bring him some peace and that's definitely what Luz brings to her caring service. He enjoyed her undivided attention and walks. We 100% would book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their hyper but sweet dog 🐶 ❤️. Thank you Luz!”
About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.
About: I grew up on a farm and we've always had 3 dogs and 2 cats along with a plethora of other animals. I know how to ensure safety and have a clear head when things go awry. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and can competently take care of any range of behaviors. I'm a ballerina and a personal trainer. But I will absolutely check in, walk or play with your pet any chance that I get! Normally it would be in the morning or near the evening. My schedule is more open on the weekends. I am a very precautious person when it comes to the safety of your pets. I always double check instructions and make sure the door or cage is secure before I leave. I also will give them all the love and attention they could want.
About: I fell in love with dogs ever since my grandma took me with her to get a husky. Bravo felt like mine and i’ve been helping her take care of him since I was 8 I am a college athlete and spend a lot of time training. I am pretty flexible with my schedule now and I believe this can be too! In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I will treat their home like it’s my own, keeping it tidy and clean. I will be communicative, giving updates and pictures. My goal is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and loved in whichever environment they are in.
About: I worked in an animal hospital for a couple of years. I have watched furbabies (cats and dogs) of family and friends for many years and even have office dogs at my job! I am mainly available during the weekends but can occasionally do evenings during the weekdays after my full time job. I work from home during Fridays so I am fully available then too. I would prefer to pet sit in an environment that your furbaby is already familiar with aka your home! I’d also be happy to take them (dogs) to a park or trail for them to explore as I love taking long walks.
About: At 13 I had the privilege of being a doggy mom, I wouldn’t replace the moments for a thing! I love dogs and they deserve to feel safe and cared for. ROD dog lover! I am now 20 and my bestie for the restie is my fur baby🥰 I am currently doing online school and have a flexible work schedule. Commonly work nights mostly during the weekends but am able to go in whenever I have 2 dogs! My sisters cat visits here and there. My dogs are both Shih Tzu and Maltese. 1 boy 1 girl. They are very accustomed to our home and are very well trained!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Island
Absolutely wonderful experience! Kara did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and two cats while I was out of town. It was such a relief knowing my animals were in great hands! They were all well cared for, and I especially appreciated the extra thoughtfulness of bringing in my mail while I was away. Reliable, responsible, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!
Delaney was absolutely fantastic! It was our first time using Rover since we moved and we were anxious to use a new cat sitter but Delaney really helped to ease the stress. Her communication was wonderful and her attention to detail was also much appreciated. Our area experienced bad weather while we were away and Delaney was very vigilant about updating us on our cats and sending photos. We also appreciate how tidy she left everything upon our return! We are very relieved to have found a very trustworthy and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,714 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Blue Island. 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.

- 83% 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 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.
