“Evelyn was FANTASTIC taking care of my little prince. I have construction going on so I had a several special requests for my cat him safe and to help keep his stress levels down. She was flexible and professional and an excellent communicator. Can't recommend her enough to take care of your fur baby. Will definitely book her again. Thanks, Evelyn!!”
“Rae’Na is the best there is! She takes wonderful care of our puppy during drop in visits. She is always very attentive, detail orientated, and professional. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kamron was a wonderful sitter. We needed a sitter last minute after our other one never showed up, and she was more than willing to step up! Our dog Lyric loved being with her too, as she was really attentive to him. She also gave us great updates, eliminating any doubts or worries we had! <3”
About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.
About: I provide reliable, pet care focused on safety, routine, and attention at your pets preferred level. I have two boxers at home and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have experience providing standard animal needs, as well as greater needs such as senior animal care and medication for dogs and cats. I will provided companionship tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I treat every home with care and respect. I currently work PRN. Due to the nature of my job, my work hours are flexible allowing me to care for your pet as preferred by you! Early mornings, evenings, and weekends—your pet will be cared for like family. We have two boxers who love to visit with new friends any chance they get! We have a fenced in back door with a doggy door so pups are able to play as desired. We are able to shut the door in order to fit your pets needs. For pets who prefer their own home, I am happy to follow their typical routines and needs to ensure they feel safe and loved in their own home while you’re away.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve also had several rodents, mice and rats, and I’ve looked after friends dogs. I have fostered many cats and I’m also very experienced with giving animals medicine. I work remote and will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I just graduated college, I’m looking for an additional source of income to add to my part time job. I’m pretty open week days and may be able to make different times work on Fridays and Sundays. My schedule can be flexible, so feel free to reach out 🙂 I will follow all of the owners instructions, send pictures and text message updates. I can have cats and cat friendly dogs spend the night. I have two cats but they will be kept seperately. Let me know if you have any special requests :)
“Kellie handled our four senior kitties with ease. Came home to everything in its place and clean. She even got our kitty Koona to finish her meals (she had been not eating for a day before we left). I could tell by the pics the kitties were happy. Thank you Kellie!”
About: I'm located in Sycamore, IL and am familiar with the surrounding area. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for most of my life, from puppies to senior sweethearts. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel right at home with me. Your dog will be treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs. On each visit I can spend 30 minutes or a couple of hours, even overnight - whatever your fur baby needs. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, care, and attention they so richly deserve. I'm happy to spend a quick 30 minutes, a few hours, or overnight - whatever your fur babies need! Some holidays are available, but do fill up quickly. I will provide your pet with the same care and consideration that you do. I'll make sure they not only have their food, water, and bathroom breaks, but plenty of playtime, walks, and love on the schedule you wish them to have. Keeping their routine as close to normal is my goal while your pets are in my care.
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because I provide attentive care, follow instructions carefully, and treat every animal like they're my own. I am available Saturdays through Mondays and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting visits throughout the day. I am based in Chicago's South Loop and generally prefer bookings nearby so I can provide reliable and timely care. I welcome both recurring clients and new pets. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and owners' homes I currently provide care in clients' homes rather than my own. I understand that every pet has unique routines, preferences, and needs, and I take the time to follow each owner's instructions closely. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and safe while maintaining the routines they're familiar with.
About: Hi! I’m Michael, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do. It’s been a huge part of my life since 2010. For over 16 years, I worked as a professional dog walker, pet sitter, trainer, and route manager in the Chicago area. During that time, I worked with two highly respected pet care companies, Worthhee and Swooft, where I wasn’t just trusted to care for clients’ beloved pets, but also to manage walking routes, train and onboard new team members, and help maintain the high standards our clients expected. Over the years, I’ve cared for just about every breed, size, age, and personality imaginable. From energetic puppies learning good manners to gentle senior dogs needing extra patience and specialized care, I’ve truly seen it all. I’m experienced administering medications, caring for dogs with medical conditions, changing diapers for senior pets, working with reactive or anxious dogs, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m also certified in Dog and Cat CPR, because I believe our pets deserve someone who’s prepared for the unexpected, not just the everyday. These days, I’m the Assistant Store Manager at Blain’s Farm & Fleet in Sycamore. One of my favorite parts of the job is getting to meet all the puppies and dogs that come through the store… but honestly, it’s never enough! I miss spending my days working directly with dogs, which is exactly why I’m joining Rover. A few years ago, life took me in the best possible direction. I met my amazing wife, fell in love, and she convinced me to trade Chicago’s busy streets for the quieter life in Sycamore. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We love our community, and I’d be thrilled to get to know yours, one wagging tail at a time. Whether your dog needs a long walk, an afternoon of play, medication, extra patience, or simply someone who will treat them like family while you’re away, you can count on me. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and, more importantly, your pup! I have wide open flexibility with my job at farm and fleet I am able to make sure your pup gets the car that they need! I unfortunately can not offer in home pet care due to the fact that my sweet pitbull is a little reactive to other dogs, but I am able to travel to you and give you dog the best care in the area guaranteed.
About: We are animal lovers, energetic, and will love your pet(s) like our own. We have two fur babies and one fur-less baby: Remi (Sphynx cat), and Memphis and Kota (Australian Cattle Dogs). We both grew up with and around pets, and have past experience looking after them for friends, family, and Rover clients. We have done it all: Dog-walking, drop-ins, house-sitting, and doggy daycare. We would love to meet you and your pet at a public dog park before dog or cat sitting so we can get to know you better. We could be the perfect fit if your pup needs let out or a midday walk while you’re at work or away for the day/weekend. Please let us know if you have any questions or special requests. Both of us work from home, so we are very flexible and will do our best to be able to work with your schedule and needs. Our pets love to have company and play dates. Your pets will be entertained and playing as much as they want during their stay with us. Our home is pet friendly and safe for our babies and yours.
“Taylor has a big heart for animals! She is very caring, thoughtful, and reliable. I highly recommend trusting Taylor with your pet. She immediately won over my dog, Louie! She also sends me photos and videos which make my day when I am at work. She has been wonderful to work with!”
“Karyn was EXCELLENT. She met our dogs beforehand so they would be comfortable with her! She had great communication with us the whole time, sending us updates and pictures. She is super friendly and we will definitely be using her again in the future:(”
About: I have 3 large dogs of my own so I am no newbie to walking big pups! I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, lizards (and even hedgehogs for a couple years!) since I was 10 years old. I love all pets and am happy to go out and play or sit and relax, all depending on the pet’s needs. I have administered medication to senior cats, middle-aged to senior dogs, and lizards. I do not mind helping to clean your house if there are any accidents or messes made while I am there! I am looking for a summer job as I have a couple smaller, less frequent opportunities throughout the summer. I am going to do my masters at NIU in the fall, so I will be in the area for a while! I would love to get out and do lots of walks to enjoy the summer weather. I have two cats at home that get played with daily and enjoy relaxing with me at the end of the day. Because my cats will eat anything and everything, I am very aware of what is left out in my house as well as other spaces. I am happy to clean up any messes or accidents made while I am at your home and make sure everything is the same or better than you left it for an overnight stay. I have pet sit for many friends and family and have had no complaints! I will make sure to take pictures of your pet so you know they are happy and safe, it’s what I would want from anyone who takes care of my cats!
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”
“Becca was amazing! She agreed to three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours notice. She was on-time for every visit, followed the instructions we had left, made sure that both of our dogs were well taken care of and even spent some time with them. Everything went so well that we've asked Becca to be our regular sitter. ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,073 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Charter Grove. 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.

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.
