Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!

As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 16 years. I am most comfortable with cats and small or senior dogs, but have experience with all breeds and sizes. I have past experience volunteering with a vet clinic and working with community cats. I am comfortable and experienced caring for cats and dogs with injuries, illnesses, and age related health issues. I am able to administer medication orally. I feel very strongly about providing a clean and safe environment for your pet. I’ll always be sure to clean up any happy little accidents that may happen. Being away from our beloved animals is hard, but you can trust they are in good hands with me. Providing regular picture and video updates is my pleasure. Please never hesitate to tell me what I can do to help give you peace of mind and assure you that your pet is receiving the best care possible. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you and your furry friends! I am currently self-employed so I have plenty of time to drop in for visits or do overnight stays. I’m available weekdays and weekends. M-F my day time availability does vary due to appointments, but my mornings from 7am-9am are always open and I have open availability from 5pm onwards. During a drop in visit I will provide your cat or dog with food, water, and any medications. If the visit does not require that, I check all food and water sources to make sure they clean and full. The litter boxes will be checked and cleaned. If there are any accidents or messes, I will clean them up. I provide affection and enrichment for your animals. I will play with them, groom them, and provide things like catnip and treats (with your approval, of course). If you’re worried about your pet getting bored or lonely between visits, I can turn on some Pet TV! During visits I like take pictures and videos and provide you with those, as well as text updates. I’m happy to base my communication off of your preferences. If you’d like a bit more privacy and quiet, we can discuss when it would be most appropriate to contact you. If you want daily updates that’s no problem at all! I provide all these services during overnight stays as well. If you have specific requests regarding care for your pet, I’m happy to adhere to them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from rabbits to horses. Having grown up around dogs, I’ve cared for breeds of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs: a Dalmatian and a Great Dane. In addition to dogs, I have experience owning and caring for cats. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing basic first aid when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive attentive, knowledgeable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll make your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being my top priority—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special requirements to ensure consistency with their daily routine. During each visit, I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship while also respecting your home and your pet’s established routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and detailed visit summaries, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.

About: I currently don't have much professional experience with pet sitting, but I do have experience with being around others' pets and taking care of my own. Most of my real experience comes from taking care of my family's Australian Shepherd since I was a kid. We have gone on regular walks, maintained routines, and had plenty of playtime together. I'm currently working part-time and a full-time student. However, I still have plenty of time on my schedule throughout the week. I'll be able for walks or check-ins any time Tuesday-Friday. For boarding, the only set time that I have would be Fridays, but my schedule is always fluctuating and other days could also work. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For boarding, I make sure to keep it as safe and comfortable for the pet while following their normal schedule. I also keep in mind the cleanliness of the house to ensure that it's kept as a pet-friendly space. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get their neurons active, and look for any possible things I need to clean up. For walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe and engaged. I take into account how your pet reacts with other pets (or how you like to deal with it) and adjust the pace based on how they react to their surroundings. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, so I can also provide updates to keep you at ease!

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

About: I grew up surrounded by my pets, and when I came to the US for grad school I was at least relieved to know that they are with my family, in safe hands. They are 4 crazy dogs, ranging from seniors to young adults now. I miss them so much and will love spending time with your pets here, while also making some extra cash to send goodies to mine and my family. I will follow all your instructions and I'll love every second I get o spend with them. I cannot take them to my apartment at the moment, because my landlord doesn't allow pets, but I can go to your houses to take proper care of them as needed. Looking forward to hear from you and your amazing pets! I'm a PhD Student, working only on my research. My schedule is very flexible, and most of the times, I only need my computer to be able to work, which will allow me to work around your pets schedule. Unfortunately, the apartment where I live here doesn't allow pets, but I'm willing to go to their homes to feed them, play with them, take them out for walks, or anything as instructed by their owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Evinston. 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 Evinston. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
