“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Amazing cat sitter! Jinghonh did drop in visits for us for our indoor/outdoor cat and she was amazing. It's not the easiest thing to take care of and keep track of a cat that is going in and out of the house and we had some increment weather but it didn't stop her from taking amazing care of our cat. There was a day or two where the cat was "missing in action" :) and Jing Hong did all she could to look for her and call for her and really was worried about her you could tell she truly cares about animals she was amazing!! hopefully can use her again in the future!!”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have walked and house sat for many clients. I have experience with puppy training, working with reactive dogs, working with high energy dogs and senior dogs, and have a special love for vizlas and other bird dogs My daily and weekly schedule vary from week to week since I’m a freelance worker but I’m typically free weekends and mornings and mid- afternoons. I like to prioritize keeping the space very clean, if not cleaner than I found it when caring for a home. In my home I’ve kept a very demanding pet which entailed early bathroom breaks, at least two 5+ miles a day, and plenty of reactivity training that entailed practicing meeting new people and dogs in comfortable environments. I also have experience with both cats and dogs that aren’t big people pets and know how to approach with respect to their autonomy and read their body language.

“I had an amazing experience with Morgan over the Christmas break. She took excellent care of my diabetic cat, ensuring he received his insulin and even administering UTI medication when we discovered he was had a mild UTI. Her attentiveness and care were exceptional, and I would absolutely use her services again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.

“Leticia was so wonderful! As this was my first time hiring a pet sitter, she really put me at ease while I was away from my two cats for a long weekend. She was very communicative, accommodating, and super kind! The cats can be uncomfortable with strangers, but warmed up to Leticia so quickly. She left the place super clean as well, which is so appreciated after coming home on a Sunday.”

About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and will fit you and your fur baby into my schedule. I am a very calming, sweet person and look forward to meeting you and your pet! I cannot have pets in my home, but I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I will follow and instructions you have and will ensure your fur baby is taken care of!

Nicole was fantastic. My cats have a list on instructions a mile long (comes with the territory when you have rescues) and she handled it all so well. Communication was great, the trust is there and I can’t wait to work with Nicole again!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! From the moment I met Lisbeth, I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and I received updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for kitties! I would absolutely recommend Lisbeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐾

Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Elmwood Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elmwood Park on Rover is $19.98 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 12,506 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elmwood Park. 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 Elmwood Park. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
