About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
“Brianna went above and beyond taking amazing care of our kitties. She was a very last minute booking and was not only understanding but extremely supportive in accommodating all our pets needs. We swear we came home to a cleaner house than we left it to! I would recommend Brianna to anyone needing a caretaker for their pet and will definitely rebook in the future 🫶”

“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”
About: Not only do I have experience working in a doggy daycare facility at one point but I was blessed enough to have a mother who had her own boarding and daycare business in our home for my teenage into my adult years. Not only did I get to watch and learn how she did things in our own home but I got to work for her and get paid learning more and more as the years went on. Had our own animals growing up and I've had my experience with all kinds of animals from dogs to cats and rabbits. I treat everybody's animal as if they were my own and love to spend every minute I can with any animal I can. I have over 20 years of experience and all the love that you could imagine for your child to give. I am currently working via doordash and would prefer to be walking dogs instead. So as of right now I am only delivering to people until I can start scheduling pet sitting hours. That leaves my schedule wide open from the time my son leaves to school at 9:00 a.m. until I have to be back for him to get off the bus at 3:00 p.m. I would come to your house so you can introduce me to yourself and your dog. I would need to know if your dog needs any medicine or food or fresh bowl of water along with where the leash and collar would be to walk your dog. If your dog has a special routine that you guys walk everyday I would love to know that so that your dog is going the same way they are used to. If you have a fenced in yard I can just let your dog out and we can play ball or fetch or we can just snuggle and cuddle and get lovings before it is time for me to leave.
About: Hello! My name is Annie! It’s very nice to meet you! I am 26 years old and I graduated high school in 2018. I have been volunteering at a local dog rescue, To Love a Canine for about 7 years now as a dog handler!! I love working with animals! I have had dogs all my life actually! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, but I previously owned a black lab/ border collie mix named Abigail, although she passed in 2012 because of old age and unfortunately cancer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope to hear from you soon! :) I currently volunteer as a crisis counselor with Crisis Text Line and I don’t have scheduled ‘shifts’ , (I do it when I can)! So, that being said, I am almost always available to dog sit or take your puppet on a nice long walk!! I always make sure your pet(s) are comfortable around/ with me first. I provide different services, such as walking your dog and doing drop-ins and sittings (days and/ or overnights)
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who are treated like royalty. I watch my neighbors pets, dogs, cats, bearded dragon, when they are out of town. I volunteer with a dog rescue when I can, Rylie’s Rescue, transporting, and foster care. I absolutely love all animals! I work part time, 3 days a week. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, from 11-6pm. All other days I’m completely available. I could always stop in before and after work. I prefer to watch in your home, I have 3 dogs, our Toy Australian Shepherd, has had to have surgery on 3 legs, so I rather keep him calm and not bring too much excitement to our home.
About: I grew up working on my aunt’s horse ranch and petting zoo, taming barn cats and swimming with my chocolate Lab, Yogi. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I specialize in medically sensitive pets, seniors, animals who take their time warming up, and the ones who decide we’re best friends immediately. I care for every animal like I would want someone to care for my own. Clients often tell me, “You must think I’m nuts for doing all this for my pet.” My answer is always, “You should see what I do for mine. 😂” With four cats and a senior rescue dog I truly get it. Our animals are family. They give us unconditional love without words, and they deserve the very best care, patience, and stewardship we can give them. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is my daily life and full-time passion. My schedule is built around providing reliable, attentive care while giving every animal the time they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, communicate consistently, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, comfort, and personality.
“I never love leaving my cats but when Victoria is caring for them, I always know they will be well cared for. She is responsive, sends lots of update photos, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with my fur babies. Highly recommend.”
“Amelia took great care of our kitties. Our shy girl warmed right up to her! She even helped us with a last minute change of plans. I highly recommend using her for your pet care needs!”
“I would highly recommend Emma to anyone!! She is always great with our dogs and you can clearly tell they all love her and are always so happy to see her. She has cared for our senior dog before he passed away, who needed some extra TLC. Now she takes care of our two very strong, high energy pit mixes. She has administered medication to all of our pups when needed with no issues. She’s also great at communicating with any general questions, concerns or updates. I am confident that our pups are always in safe hands with Emma!”
“Alexander is amazing! We are so thankful that he was able to watch our two cats while we were away! He always sent us updates and they never missed a meal!! Alexander's attention to detail and professional communication always put our minds at ease. We didn't have to worry at all for the entire time we were gone. Alexander is our #1 choice to be our cat sitter anytime we are away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around animals and dogs all my life. I was raised on a three hundred acres veil farm in upstate NY where we had German Shepherds, Mastiff, Boarder Collies and Springer Spaniels . The last twenty plus years I have worked with Akita rescue in Florida and have personally owned two Akita's of my own Jayda my heart dog who passed in 2023 and Raider who passed away in 2014. I had hands on training from an Air Force Marine who use to train Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, but don't let that fool you, I am a sucker for the small guys too! It will be a pleasure of mine to be able to walk, or care for your pet when you need the help. I am currently working part-time. I do have most morning, afternoon and some evenings available for walks, potty breaks, play time and or feedings available. I an not able to take in pets to my home as my son has his little sweet pitty staying with me at this time and does not like to share me with other pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,820 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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
