About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

“Mikayla did a wonderful job of checking in on my cat every day. My cat is very leery of new people. But after several days Sheba wanted to be petted by Mikayla during the entirety of her drop-in visit. Mikayla sent me a video of Sheba purring and being petted. I would definitely hire Mikayla again!”

About: My background is in farm care including large and small farm animals, plant care, large dog breeds, and cats for the past 14 years. I have 13 siblings I also spent time caring for as I am the oldest girl! My mother was a professional dog groomer who housed many dogs on and off, as well as my grandmother owning a farm I spent alot of time working on. I have closely worked with many breeds including great danes, irish wolfhounds, huskies, pitbulls, german shepherds, chihuahuas, poodles, and pomeranians. Educationally I have taken classes in child development, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical terminology, health science, CPR certification, and HIPAA certification. In my personal home I have my sweet babygirl (kitty) I take care of as well as my 4 aquatic turtles! I believe with all my skillsets combined and my genuine enjoyment in animal care, I am a great fit! I only have restrictions on weekdays until 3pm. Weekends and Weekdays besides that time are open availability. I have plenty of extra time to spend doing something I enjoy! I take my safety seriously as well as the safety of anything I am entrusted with. I am a very vigilant person who will ask questions, communicate, and put safety above all else.

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with animals all my life, 6 cats, 3 dogs, 2 mice, and 3 hamsters later we have me! I’m a compassionate, clean, and communicative guy who would love to care for your animal(s). Whether it’s administering medication, walking, cleaning up, or playing with them, I would love to do it all. Thank you for your consideration :) Whatever you’re looking for, I’ll will try my hardest to accommodate :) I currently work 8-5 Monday through Friday but am available all day on weekends. Thank you! Right now I currently have two cats. They are fed at the same time everyday, have multiple running water fountains, I scoop their litter as often as possible, and never ending toys. Cats can never get enough stimulation ;) I plan to treat your babies the way I treat my own, with compassion and care.

I plan visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins consistently to maintain their normal routine and reduce stress. I make sure every pet receives dedicated attention, proper care, and a calm, safe environment, whether it’s a daily visit or ongoing weekly care I care for pets exclusively in my home, providing a clean, calm, and safe environment.

About: I have owned a dog my entire life, worked in a veterinary clinic, and was a service dog raiser for 3.5 years while getting my Animal Science degree. My friends and family also trust me to sit their dogs when they are away. I am currently unemployed so have a lot of availability during the week. I am usually busy on weekends but have some availabile at times. I will stay in a home with a pet, or bring a pet into my home. The home visits can include walking, feeding, playing, and other requests!

About: Detailed updates with photos and videos. Extra cuddles and kisses. Seasoned in professional pet care. Hi, I'm Saunda 🤍 your pet's next favorite sitter (and probably their future best friend). I know that trusting someone else with your pet isn't easy. You want to know they're safe, comfortable, and actually happy while you're gone, not just fed and let outside. That's what I'm here for. My own dog Carter is a show dog who's extremely well-trained, so I understand what it takes to work with pets who need structure and real attention, but I also know every pet has their own personality. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel secure, whether they're high-energy, shy, anxious, or a little sassy, so they get care that actually fits them. You'll get consistent updates, cute photos, and real communication throughout, so you're never left wondering how things are going. No radio silence, no guessing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, and for your pet to be happy, relaxed, and loved like they're my own. Pet care fits around my class schedule, not the other way around. As a student, I build my availability week to week based on my classes, so I know exactly which days and time blocks I have open before I commit to anything. That means when I take on a booking, you're getting someone who's actually free and attentive during that time, not squeezing your pet in between other commitments. For daily visits or walks, I plan them around gaps in my school day, mornings before class, afternoons between classes, or evenings once I'm done. For overnight or longer stays, I look at my schedule in advance to make sure I'm not double-booking myself during exam weeks or heavier academic periods, so your pet always gets consistent, reliable care without last-minute cancellations. I'm upfront if a week doesn't work well for a certain type of booking. I'd rather tell you that ahead of time than commit to something I can't fully show up for. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I keep to your routine as closely as possible, feeding schedules, walk times, medications, whatever your pet is used to. Consistency matters a lot for how comfortable an animal feels when their owner is gone, so I don't try to change things up. I do a full walkthrough at the meet and greet so I know exits, any hazards, and where everything I'd need is kept. I lock up properly every time I leave and treat your space like I'd want mine treated. When pets come to my home, they're in a secure, pet-proofed space with no loose hazards, toxic plants, or unsecured chemicals. My own dog Carter is a show dog with extensive training, so he's calm, well-socialized, and good with other animals, but I still do a slow, supervised introduction with any new pet before leaving them together unsupervised. If a pet isn't a good fit to be around Carter, I keep them separated and give them their own space instead of forcing it. Across both settings, I'm big on real-time communication. You'll get updates and photos throughout the stay or visit, so you always know your pet is safe and being looked after, not just guessing.

About: I have taken care of so many dogs and cats over my life time. From my childhood dogs including a German Shepard, a beagle and a chihuahua mix, to a Scottish short hair cat and now 3 little cute cats with me at home. I know what it takes to take care of pets and give the pets what they need I am currently unemployed so I am available at all times. If you need me to check up on your pet many times during the day I can and also take them out for walks! I make sure all the pets are behaving and if there is any trouble I make sure to de escalate and keep the pets calm and collective. I know what it takes to take care of pets in a way that is caring and nurturing.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I currently have a cat of my own, and growing up I helped care for our family dogs and cats. I also grew up leasing a horse, which taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and providing consistent care. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pets the same care and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️ I work full-time, but I have flexibility during the day to check in on pets. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in an apartment and have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a home environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I especially prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their usual routine. I may also be able to accommodate boarding in my apartment depending on the pet’s needs and compatibility with my cat.

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Elgin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Elgin is $11 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,329 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elgin. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elgin. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
