“Ann is great with my little senior guy. He can be a bit finicky with strangers but warmed up to her quickly. We are very grateful for her flexible schedule and great communication!”
“Stephanie is great! She’s goes above and beyond for your pets and their safety. Our remote garage closer wasn’t working so she drove back to manually close it. Extremely grateful for her professionalism and kindness.”
“Amanda is great! She is quick to respond to messages, on time for her visits, and overall easy to work with. She followed my instructions beautifully. My puppy really seemed to like her and so did my three cats! I will be hiring her again. Thanks Amanda!”
“Erin always provides exceptional care for our 6-year-old greyhound, Happy. Erin showers Happy with affection and makes sure she has fresh water, a treat, and clean feet. During this muddy weekend, I really appreciated that. Erin was kind enough to alter her visit time when my schedule changed at the last minute. Because Erin is kind, professional, and flexible, I can confidently recommend her services. Erin is always our first choice for care.”
“Sam is so incredibly patient and so kind, gentle with my dog, Loki💜 he’s going through a lot of changes neurologically and she meets him where he is on that day. Every time she has met with him, he is building rapport with her. Given his difficulties, sometimes he will have accidents in the house and Sam is quick to let me know and use the carpet cleaner, which I truly appreciate. She was also able to come over today with short notice due to a schedule change for work, which helped me feel better about not being home sooner. Highly recommend Sam and will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!
“Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.”
“Veronika was very sweet. I have a very shy dog and she did her best with him. My other one was just fine though. Gave me reassuring feedback. As far as the little guy, we will try again. 🙂”
“We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!”
“Jess always leaves plenty of photos and writes up plenty of detail of how the kitties are doing, how a picky eater did, etc. the girls genuinely seem to like her and interact with her. A real gem of a find”
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”
“Angela did a wonderful job watching our dog. She came 3 times a day for walks and feeding. We could tell that Leine was well taken care of. Definitely will use Angela and River again.”
“Olivia was amazing with my cat Charley. He was well taken care of! Loved the multiple pictures every visit, would definitely recommend her and use for future pet sitting needs!”
“Megan is the best! She has watched our two dogs, two cats and leopard gecko multiple times. She is super reliable, very communicative, and just a delight with the animals. My only hesitation in writing this review is that she will book up and won’t be available for our numerous last minute requests!”
About: I am a happy owner of 3 large dogs- goldendoodles and a labradoodle, along with a cat and a rabbit! I love animals and love being around them and playing with them. I used to co-own an in-your-home pet care business called Mollycoddles. I make trips daily to people's houses to take care of their pets while they're at work or on vacation. I have experience with dogs off all sizes, ages, and conditions. I took a break during 2025 to focus on a new career and just moved to the Darien area from Lisle- so I’m ready to meet some Darien/Willowbrook/DG pups and cats! I work from home most days and care for pets in the mornings or during your lunch breaks! Late night visits can also be arranged with repeat clients! During the summer. Hours can be flexible for visits, especially on weekends. All services will be done in your home- I will travel to you and your pup or cat and take care of them there! No worries of having to pack bags or overnight items. Potty breaks and walks are the best for working paw-rents!
About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested! I’m here to ease your mind while you’re enjoying time away from home. I am completely open on weekends! During the week is more limited but please submit a request and I’d love to discuss your pets needs. In my clients home I follow instruction closely. I understand each animal has specific needs. I will make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Darien is $22

Sam helped me out when I went out of town for 5 days and watched my two bunnies for me! She was great very friendly, had no issues and she listened to my request and sent me updates of how my bunnies were doing, she gave me reassurance and she gained my trust and would definitely be booking her again in the future!
Caraline was absolutely fantastic with my kitty Kiki! We had never left her alone before, so I was a little nervous, but Caraline was so wonderful about giving her the space she needed. By the end, Kiki absolutely loved her! 🥹❤️ She was incredibly attentive the whole time, and I loved getting photos of my sweet girl every day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Kiki was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 🐱💕
Sophia did an outstanding job, the communication was timely and professional, and my 3 cats really appreciated her. She was able to handle medications with ease and followed all instructions. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family and would book again 100%!!!!
Megan is the best! She has watched our two dogs, two cats and leopard gecko multiple times. She is super reliable, very communicative, and just a delight with the animals. My only hesitation in writing this review is that she will book up and won’t be available for our numerous last minute requests!
As always, Veronika went above and beyond for our boy. He recently got diagnosed with asthma, and before this trip, since she previously had not worked with an asthma kitty, she came over to learn how to give our cat his inhaler, and from what I have heard, he tolerated her giving him his inhaler twice a day very well. She is always so gentle with him and he loves her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Darien on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,890 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Darien. 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 Darien. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
