“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Susan was excellent. She sat with my Henry and Otis and gave Otis a chance to settle with a new person. I would certainly use her again to let my pups out while on vacation. Her visit allowed us to enjoy Soaky Mountain and not worry about our pups not being able to go potty.”
“Absolutely fantastic! She took care of my fur babies while I attended a birthday party. Highly recommend her! Super calm personality keeps the dogs relaxed. They were happy and worn out when she left. If you need”
“First time trying any service to take care of our Atticus. We found the rover process to be very easy and informative of the sitters in our area. Knowing who is repeat sitters was a big help on picking a good sitter. Rachel was more than we could have asked for. Rachel was asked to watch Atticus and she did much more. Atticus was spoiled with attention the whole time. I don’t think he cared that we were gone. Thank you Rover and thank you Rachel!”
“Wendy took such wonderful care of our French bulldogs while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and we came home to happy, well-loved pups. Knowing they were safe and in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We’re so grateful to Wendy and will absolutely trust her with our dogs again!”
“Our fur babies loved hanging out with Nicole! She was available on short notice and sent us photos of our babies while we were out. We will absolutely request Nicole next time we are visiting the area!”
“Telecia was a lifesaver for us! She took care of my in-law's dog who can't be alone and also checked in on some of our other pets while we were on vacation. She is so sweet and easygoing and was just an absolute pleasure to meet. If you need someone to watch your pets, don't hesitate to book Telecia!”
About: I've taken proactive care of all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, even horses!). I've administered medicine to dogs. I've bathed cats and dogs. I've trained puppies and dogs. I am also excellent at being trained by cats. I've taken care of small birds and larger parrots. (Clicker training only. We mostly vibe and dance. The macaw was particularly fond of Lady Gaga.) I'm currently working a completely flexible job and can easily accommodate different schedules and care needs. We can go for a walk or a drive, to get the puppos a pup cup and fun at a dog park. Your cats and birds can have their preferred ratio of lap/cuddles to playtime. While I do not care for animals in my home, I can drive to you. I take regular walks, keep an eye on when mods need to be administered, and can even practice some basic obedience training with puppos.
“Leslie, First off wonderful person! Was on-time ,did everything that was asked of her, Spent the day twice with us while we were on vacation and took great care of our 2 furbabies so we could venture out and did not have to worry about our 4 legged children while we were gone. Look forward to the next time! Thanks Tiff ,Paul, Ara, Ricky bobby!”
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
“It would be difficult to leave a review that truly describes how wonderful Ashley is. This was the first time I left my pets with a sitter, I was sure I’d worry the whole time but Ashley was so patient and kind when she met them and kept us updated the whole time that I didn’t worry at all. She clearly loves animals and my home was immaculate when I returned. We needed a Vacation so badly and it never would have happened if Ashley wasn’t who she is. I honestly cannot say enough good about her as a a pet sitter and as a person. Your fur babies are in good hands with Ashley. Trust me on that. So is your home!”

“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 428 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Caton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Caton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Caton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Caton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
