About: I have had two beautiful golden Retrievers and love dogs in general. My golden Wyatt passed away but I adore and love and miss him so much. Now with a new year one year old puppy who is HUGE , I absolutely want to meet more friends of fur. I work daily but have a flexible schedule and can attend animals during the workday as I make my own hours. I also can stay overnight on Friday through Sunday for overnight sitting. I care for pets making sure they have the essentials, food and water. That being said I love to spend time with them all always they are amazing and I love playing with animals and making them feel as human as possible.
About: I grew up on a farm and we had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, pigs, goats and cows. I’ve been around animals all my life and my ultimate goal is to get back to farm life and have an animal sanctuary I work a full time job, and would be available on weekends for drop in visits and dog walks. I know weekends are when people want to go to dinner or a concert and they don’t want to rush home to take their dog out for a walk. I have years of experience with both cats and dogs. I’m 60 years old and a trusted member of the Northbrook community for the last 26 years.
“Karina is the absolute best she takes such great good care of my cat Aster. I love all the pictures and updates throughout the booking. I would highly recommend booking with Karina”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
“Amy & Lamar took great care of my dogs! I have 2 large hyper dogs and they handled them great! Very appreciative of them for being able to watch them on such short notice and even dropping in to meet them before their visit! I really appreciate it!”
“My cat is not very nice to anybody but me sadly but Zoe didn’t let that bother her. She did a wonderful job despite the challenges and we will use again without hesitation!”
“We were so happy with Jason! Our dogs absolutely love him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He's reliable and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Can't say enough wonderful things about Denis and Nikki. They are so lovely. Very accommodating, responsible, communicative and caring with the pets. They went above and beyond. I will easily be booking them again for our next trip away.”
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
“Came home to happy and well-adjusted pets. Logan did a great job socializing with our dogs and very shy cat. Loved the photos she sent us each visit. We could see that they were enjoying their visits from Logan. She was perfect for our quick trip away to move our son off to college.”
“Nataliia was wonderful! She took the time out of her day to meet with our 3 year old dog to get acquainted. She came to the 1 hour drop in a little early and stayed a little over to ensure that our dog was well taken care of and had everything she needed before leaving. We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Scott was absolutely fantastic checking in on our 2 cats. He was extremely patient and ensured the more anxious of our 2 cats was okay and eating / drinking while we were gone. Thank you Scott!”
“Christina is so good with our kitties! It helps lessen the guilt of leaving them when she is there. She has a way with them, and getting our shy ones to come out of hiding 💕”
About: I have had at least two dogs at a time throughout my entire life, ranging from mid size mutt to large Bernese Mountain Dog, and from puppy to senior age. I am equipped to handle dogs of all kinds of temperaments and sizes for whatever your canine-related needs might be. Open to work nearly every day of the week for walking, drop in visits, or dog sitting. I currently have a part time job that takes up many weekdays during the evening, however outside of 5 days a week evenings I am free pretty much all day to be able to help out with pets. I have two dogs at home anyways that I need to take care of. I am a very non invasive person who does not seek to invade on yours or the dogs space. I am looking to connect with any animal I might take care of and develop a relationship with them.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. We travel a bit but am available when in town. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I am experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Deerfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 5,671 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Deerfield. 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.
