“Janie is absolutely amazing! She has been coming over 2-3 times a week for the past few months to let our puppy and older dog out for a potty and play break and she is wonderful. She is great with our dogs and when we see her out and about our dogs go crazy to see her. Her schedule has been so flexible with me getting a new job and needing her to come at different times of the day and she provides us updates on how our dogs are doing every time she comes over. We LOVE Janie!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was ten, I even have 5 of my own, so I'm experienced in behaviors, grooming, and administering medications if they're needed. I can do overnight stays and check ins during the day. I can do fill day stay overs, but will need a few days notice to make it work. Im very big on slow introductions and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable around me. My own dog and cats are rescues so I know how nervous new introductions and new people can make animals.
About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.
About: Hello and thank you for considering me to care for your fur babies! I have grown up with pets of all kinds and now own a cat of my own. I am deeply passionate about animal care and safety; it is my mission to provide your beloved furry friends with the same attention and love that I'd want mine to have. Additionally, I am experienced and comfortable accommodating special dietary and allergy needs, as well as administering medicine. I work from home so I am able to provide your pets with 24/7 pampering and care! I live nearby to multiple parks so rest assured your dog will enjoy plenty of walks and playtime. Looking forward to being your purr-fect pet care provider :) Full-Time Pet Care Provider. Because this is my profession, my availability is dedicated to pet care and I do not have other WFH commitments that would distract me from giving your pet the best care. I own a car so travel is quick and convenient if necessary. My house is large enough to host pets comfortably and I have a huge backyard that is gated. It is of utmost importance to me to create and maintain and safe, healthy environment for all pets in my home. Please let me know of any special accommodations your pet may need, and I can certainly ensure their best experience with their favorite sitter :)
About: I have experience sitting and over night boarding for 10+ years from neighbors, friends, family. I’m open to walking, drop-ins, feeding and sitting for cats, dogs, or reptiles even of any age or weight, breed, etc. I am known for being reliable, adaptable and loving. Taking care of my fur babies is the most important and I promise the same for yours. I look forward to learning about you and your fur babies. Do not hesitate to contact me about any questions. Have a great day and happy wags! I will have plenty of time for your fur babies. Monday through Sunday, I have open availability, whether you need a lunch drop-in, before or after work visit, and house sitting you can count on me! *willing to travel far distances* Attending to your fur babies needs is the most important. We would have potty breaks, feeding, maybe litter cleaning (if needed) and/or medication. All fur babies need attention, so I would give tons of pets or hugs and fun time with toys.
About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 239 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
