“You did great! I was so nervous how the new cats would handle us being out of town but I'm happily surprised at how well they did and I'm sure getting good care really helped with that. Thank you!!”

“Elena is the sweetest! I’m so happy she was able to take care of my kitty while I was away. Marley is really shy and she still was able to send me pics and give me thorough updates. I would recommend her 1000%”

“Julie was absolutely amazing with my kitties, and it was such a relief to know that they were in great hands while I was away! I loved getting the photos and thoughtful updates she provided, and my cats loved her! I would give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!”

“Rachael was so thorough with her rover card comments that gave me peace of mind that my cat was in great hands. It truly makes a difference when you know a fellow animal lover is caring for your baby. Rachael took great pictures of my cat Jiji that also gave me comfort while being away from home for the week. I would 100% ask Rachael to watch Jiji again!!”


About: I am a teacher looking for a little extra cash. I have had several dogs and cats throughout the years. I currently have a high-needs dog with daily medications. I have foundational experience in dog training and am trusted by neighbors and friends to look in on their pets. My schedule often changes as I am an itinerant teacher, but I am willing to see if I am able to work with you to fit your needs. I will adhere to client’s directions and will send regular updates ensuring they know their pet is well cared for. I will provide you with peace of mind!
About: I’m an active student home for the summer who loves dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs and have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things, and pet sitting is a wonderful way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I bring patience, compassion, and attentiveness to every animal I care for. I have experience with puppies, including basic training and housebreaking, and I take a gentle, calm approach with senior pets to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines, administering medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Reliability, communication, and genuine care are extremely important to me. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, extra snuggles, or simply a dependable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets such as chinchillas. And of course, you can expect plenty of photo updates of your furry family member relaxing, playing, and having fun! I am a full time student at Northeastern University, home for the summer! I have a very flexible schedule, and happy to accommodate! Your furry friend will get lots of snuggles and exercise. On nice days, I enjoy going on walks at Marsh Creek and French Creek. I am always willing to explore new areas or dog parks if that is something your dog enjoys! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed. I keep the environment safe by pet-proofing spaces as needed, checking for hazards, and ensuring doors, gates, and enclosures are always secure. My focus is on creating a calm, positive environment where pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates, so owners can see how their pets are doing, building trust and peace of mind throughout my time with them. When going on walks with pets, I ensure they stay safe and engaged by choosing familiar, pet-friendly routes and always keeping them on a secure leash. I’m attentive to their behavior, making sure they’re comfortable, and I avoid any potentially stressful situations. If your dog has any special needs or diets, please let me know so I can be sure to accommodate them and ensure they have the best stay possible!

“Alexis was fantastic! She was reliable and my cat loved her immediately. It was very comforting to see all of the happy photos while I was gone. She went above and beyond to also help me with an issue in my house while she was there. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had pets in my life, dogs, cats, gerbils, snakes, turtles, fish... I am very comfortable with everything I've come across so far. I recently retired, and am looking for ways to help others, while doing something I enjoy. My daily calendar fluctuates, but with enough notice, I should be able to meet your schedule. I am very respectful of your home and property, and will do my utmost to follow your instructions to keep your loved-one(s) safe and well cared for.

About: I have had pets all my life. From the hamster in the 80s, turtle in the 90s, and a number of cats and dogs throughout my adult life (as well as a cockatiel), I have always had an amazing connection to animals. I currently have one small rescue dog (Terrier mix) who is about 12. I am routinely the one who will feed, water and walk pets belonging to family and friends. Be it cats or dogs, I will treat your pet with the same love and conscientious care as I do my own fur baby. A little about me...I'm an HR Professional who has worked in Human Resources for over 20 years now. I love the human side of what I do, and thought that having a 'side gig' using those skills of connection and empathy, along with what I have learned over years of caring for my own animals would be a natural fit! I am also a mom of two amazing teenagers and am a recreational runner. Currently, I am available part time for morning and evening walks, and drop-ins for feeding, watering and play for vacations or other situations. I'm currently available throughout the day until August 2nd, and then mornings and evenings after this. I typically have a 3 day notice before taking on a service, however I am occasionally able to accommodate emergency pet care so if you find yourself in this situation, please reach out. Through my years of caring for numerous cats and dogs, I am very conscientious around "escape-ees" (I currently have one) and ensuring that our fur babies are safely kept in the home as I enter. I am respectful of routines and will follow them exactly as described. Also, I will send unprompted, candid video and picture messages of your pet to you frequently during care. This adds to peace of mind and who doesn't love a good random picture of their pet showing up in their messages??
About: I have been taking care of my friends dogs for years now. I never had my own but I am very passionate about playing, feeding, walking, and bathing doggies! I have had plenty of my own cats over the years! Currently I have a two young cats who I have had to provide medicine too due to surgeries. I love playing with my own cats and would be happy to play with yours when needed! During the weekdays, I work til 3pm and will be available after 4pm to care for your animal. Weekends are more open and flexible to tend to your pet. During the summer my schedule is more open because I have off of work since I’m a teacher. I have a nice size backyard for your dog to play in! I also have two cats that can keep them company. I am open to support your pet and their needs however I can.
About: I treat each pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s unique personality and routine.

I plan my schedule to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime and companionship they need, whether that’s walks, feeding, cuddle time, or drop ins. I am organized, dependable, and committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I provide patience and affection so pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, while also being respectful of my client’s home.

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover and have always had pets of my own including, cats, dogs, and even small animals! Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and care they deserve. Over the years, I have always owned cats, I currently have 3, so I am very experienced with them. I have dog sat many times for neighbors, friends, and family and have enjoyed it a lot. I am comfortable giving medications to animals or providing extra attention for those with special care requirements! I’m currently a third year college student at Penn State University. I have mostly morning classes, so afternoons and nights I am available to take care of animals! My cats are well-fed and get tons of attention! I love playing with my cats and making sure they are always happy. I maintain the litter boxes each day to ensure they’re well taken care of.

10 out of 10!! Norah took care of my cat while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond. She communicated with me daily and sent pics of our cat. She is very observant and noticed that the automatic cat feeder was out of food. I would definitely rebook her. Thanks Norah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,813 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bucktown. On Rover:
- 92% 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 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.
