“Rachel was fantastic! She provided really detailed updates and tons of photos, which made it easy to know how our cats were doing while we were away. We recently brought home a kitten, and our older cat is still adjusting, which has led to some stress and accidents. Rachel was incredibly patient and helpful with the situation, even making an effort to help the two get more comfortable with each other. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We really appreciated everything she did and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! My weekday availability is primarily in the early mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for before work and evening visits. I’m also available on weekends with more flexibility throughout the day and will always do my best to work with your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
“Melissa is a true rock star pet sitter! I haven't taken a vacation since my cat Chester was diagnosed with diabetes. He's also not used to being around people he doesn't know. We even did 2 pre-vacation visits and unfortunately my cat decided to be difficult. Which is putting it mildly. Melissa did everything she could to help him but nothing worked. I would definitely book her services again if she'll accept!”
“Erika was very efficient and sent us tons of photos of Doja. she made sure everything was taken care of and even brought in all of our packages while we were away! would definitely book her again”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond during his drop-in visits and was so attentive to our cats. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and clearly cares about the pets he's looking after. He even noticed and took care of little things we had forgotten before leaving, like making sure a light was left on for the cats. Those thoughtful extra touches really stood out and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. 100% recommend Ryan, and we'll absolutely be booking him again!”

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I'd love to care for your dog or cat! I have grown up with multiple dogs at a time my whole life, so I am very familiar with both trained and untrained dogs of all sizes. I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and a half, and have always been the first call of friends and families to watch their dogs. I also worked for a dog walking company when I lived in the city, and our specialty was catering specifically to dogs and pups who live in apartment complexes or high rise buildings and owners cannot easily let them out to potty or come home for lunch. I know you love your dog but also have to work long hours to provide the nice life for them - let me be the extension of your love by being the walk, potty break, and care they deserve! I currently work full time and loosely make my own hours, so I have availability in mornings, lunchtime, afternoons and evenings to care for all the sweet pets! I work best with a list of clear expectations from owners about how they prefer their pets to be cared for and all the rules of the house - no list is too long, the more details the better! I am big on communication and sending you a daily photo and check-in of my time with the pet, as I know I would appreciate that from my pet's caretaker too.

About: Hi there! I am an animal lover through and through- and that reflects through my work history! I have two years of professional canine/feline boarding experience, 6 months of in-home dog walking/pet sitting, and I have currently been working as a vet assistant for a year!

I can not do in-house drop offs at this time, but I have professional experience meeting clients in home, while they are away, or even occassional boarding at your home if I am available! I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possibe with whatever that might entail! I also love sending photo/video catch ups so you know your baby is happy and healthy :)
“Jessica saved me by being able to look in on our boys on a really short notice. Thank you Jessica! Communication was great and she let us know each time when she was on her way to check in on the dogs. Shortly after that she sent us pictures of them each time. It was a comfort knowing that Jessica was taking such good care of them while we were away. I will definitely use Jessica again in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Dundee
Madeline did a great job caring for my 3 kitties! 2 of them needs meds, and the third is very shy. She was patient with one of my cats who didn’t want to take her meds. I was so excited to see my shy girl was out and about on the first visit 😻 I’d certainly recommend Madeleine as a cat sitter!
Liz was fantastic with my cat! My cat warmed up to her immediately and Liz was very affectionate to her. She brushed her and pet her a lot, which my cat loves! She played with her and made my cat very happy. Liz is very caring and took perfect care of my cat. I would definitely rebook with her!
We had such a great experience! Bella took great care of our cats, and made sure everything we asked was taken care of. She was also so helpful and accommodating with her schedule and always found a way to stop by and check on them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away, especially with the photo updates. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend!
Eloise was amazing with my dog and cat and I know they are in such good hands with her! I really appreciate her flexibility and attention to detail with both of my babies and their various needs. I was able to fully enjoy my time away because I knew they were well taken care of. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Zach did a fantastic job! I booked him to clean out for very dirty litter boxes and replace them with fresh letter. I was very impressed with his ability to get right to the work at hand, get the job done, and leave everything looking great. He was so fast, he had time to tackle one of two of the cats water fountains, which were also overdue for cleaning and refilling. My kitties will love that their favorite fountain is working again. Next time, he’ll tackle the other fountain and I have no doubt that that will be done efficiently as well. Thank you, Zach! Nice to meet you, and you’ll be number one on my call

FAQs for Cat Sitting - East Dundee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,192 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Dundee. 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.

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 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.
