About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!
“Ashley is an amazing dog sitter. Ashley is extremely responsible and trustworthy. She always makes sure that my dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. She gives updates and sends pictures to let me know how my dogs are doing. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!

About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.

“Courtney is a wonderful per sitter! She is super thorough with feedback of how the visits go. She is also a great communicator and does well with reading dogs. I have a little one with a big personality who is adjusting to a new routine and environment. I am grateful to Courtney for her assistance in providing structure and comfort to my senior dog during a stressful time!”

“Ashley was great with our older cat Cleo. I could tell from our meet and greet that Ashley would be good, as Cleo (who doesn’t typically like people) responded well to Ashley right away. Ashley showed up as scheduled every day to spend time with Cleo, sent pictures, and communicated quickly with us. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bucktown on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,689 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bucktown. 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.

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 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.
