“Sarah is amazing! She is very attentive to your pet, and treats them with the same care you would hope for. Super reliable and flexible for whatever you need. Can’t recommend more!”
“Karina was everything I was looking for. My dog has a lot of special needs due to high anxiety and a rough background. Karina was so accommodating to all her little quirks with giving her space, giving her her medication, and cleaning up her pee pads. Her communication was excellent, and she even washed the forks and cutting board that were used for the medication. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was great, and I'd certainly use her again.”
“Leora is great with our three cats. We received a lot of awesome pictures and regular updates during our recent trip. It was clear that our cats were happy and being well taken care of while we were gone!”
“Brianna was so kind and thoughtful in the way she cared for our babies. We truly appreciate her attention to detail and efforts to connect with our shy little guys. Thank you so much, Brianna, and we’ll be in touch for future travel.”
“Natalia did an excellent job looking after my cat Shweta while I was gone on vacation for Labor day weekend! Shweta became quite acclimated with Natalia and I look forward to booking her again for Shweta in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”
“We were so lucky to have Abigail take care of our cat. Domu can be a bit skittish, but Abigail gave plenty of cuddles and TLC in addition to taking excellent care of her while we were away!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, always ensuring they lived happy, healthy lives. Whenever a family member, friend, or neighbor needed help, I was their trusted go-to for their beloved pets. I'm easygoing and adaptable, and I'll go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident in my care. I currently work a flexible job, which allows me to schedule my time around any pet's needs. I'm always up bright and early usually to my cat meowing for breakfast so I'm ready and available for walks or mealtimes whenever they're needed I spend quality time with my family dogs and give them plenty of love. I'll play with them until they're tired, running around the yard or playing fetch. My older family dog loves walks, so I take her on night walks regularly. My family cats are more laid-back and love cuddles, while my kitten, who currently lives with me, is a ball of energy and endless fun.
About: As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.
About: I have cared for animals all my life, I work with both large and small dogs, as well as cats. In recent years I have also worked in elder care. I am a stay at home pet-sitter. I am available for boarding and dog-walking. I am available for day care as well. Available all day long. I have no pets of my own and I have no little kids. There is a backayrd, but it's not fenced. I have a possibility to take out your pet as often as needed.
“Claudia is great, takes the time to work with our new puppy, going above and beyond during her time with him. Very easy to communicate with and provides great updates each day!”
About: I am reliable, flexible, and energetic, and know what your pet needs to be well cared for and happy. I can even train if needed. I work full time during the day, but not far from home, so I can swing over anywhere first thing in morning, at lunch, dinner time, and bed time. I can feed, check on, let out, and walk pet breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or bed time during the week, and on weekends, anytime day or night!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Buffalo Grove
Absolute lifesaver. My cat got tangled in a shopping bag while I was out, and I was panicking. Jason responded immediately, got to my place fast, freed my cat, and kept me updated the whole time. So grateful for his quick thinking in an emergency - can’t recommend him enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She took wonderful care of all three of our cats and gave each of them plenty of attention, care, and affection. We came home to three happy, relaxed cats and had complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Abigail and would happily have her care for our cats again!
Jenny was wonderful! She took such great care of my two kitties while I was away, and when I came home, they both looked happy and well cared for. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel very comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I really appreciate everything she did and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
Erica is so kind and understanding of my cats unique personalities. Much like all cats they each have their own attitudes and she tunes into them with acceptance and kindness! I came home to happy healthy babies. Thank you so much Erica! Will definitely see you next time.
Did a great job cat-sitting PJ while we were away for about a month ! He warmed up to her pretty quickly and it looked like they had a great time together :D All her pictures and updates about him were great and told me everything I needed to know. My cat did eat part of a plant I had forgotten to move out of reach before leaving, entirely my fault, but Angelina handled the situation perfectly. He had to be taken to the vet and get some meds to take home. She made the whole process a lot less scary for me and for my cat, and was very professional and on top of things. She even had a vet recommendation for us, as we are new in town. Litterally could not have asked for a better sitter for my boy, and will definitely book her again.
Gabrielle was a wonderful sitter for the week that I had her drop in on my 2 cats. My cats are 16 and 13 and are definitely in house cats. One is friendly and the other is skittish and shy. One needed meds. She visited them and gave daily feedback and sent pictures. She also administered the meds, fed them and cleaned the litter. She even watered my large plant. She exceeded my expectations. I will use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.
This is the second time I booked Elizabeth to take care of our cats. She is extremely thorough in her notes, takes several photos, and is extremely kind and dependable. She also goes above and beyond to make sure packages are taken in, etc without me even asking! I can’t recommend her enough! I look forward to rebooking with her again next time I travel!!
Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.
Alexis is great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond for my two cats. They clearly adored her as one of my cats is quite shy and usually hides with new people. But he was comfortable with Alexis and came out for her visits. I will definitely book with Alexis again.
Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.
Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!

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.

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.
