“This is our second time having Katie watch our cats. I am a nervous wreck about leaving them but both times we have used Katie she has made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I have one cat who has been through cancer treatment so I particularly worry about him but Katie made me feel confident that she would be able to recognize if he needed anything and sent me pictures and updates every day. We will absolutely be calling Katie for our next trip.”
“The best pet sitter that I was lucky and blessed enough to find. Punctual, caring, and pays attention to details. I will never stop booking with her unless she stops working for Rover and even then I would still be trying to find her to pet sit for me 🤣🤭😆 she’s that amazing.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.
“Perfect! I cannot believe I found Sydney. My house was clean and our kitties made a new friend. She treated them like they were her own. I am SOOOO happy and impressed. I was worried as this was my first time using Rover...and I will be using her again. I strongly recommend Sydney. Can I give her a 10 star rating!!!”
About: As of April 2026, my current schedule is 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, right here in Joliet! I can do pop-in visits or overnight stays!! Let me know what days you need! I have had dogs in my life since I was born (and as of 4 years ago, I consider myself a cat person now too!) I can never see myself not having a pet at any time in my life. So i would love to get to know and care for your babies as well as you do! I work Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, otherwise I have open availability outside of those hours. If you’re in a bind, or planning ahead, just ask me about the dates you’re considering! I’d love to help you out & take care of your pet! I take the safety of my/clients pets very seriously. I am comfortable with administering any medication that may be needed. I am also comfortable with crating your pets, as well as putting any gear you may require them to wear (i.e. a harness, a basket muzzle(for those who don’t play well with others on walks), any cold weather attire). I will treat them as if they are my own!
About: I like to think I adapt to the cats needs rather than be impatient and try to pet or carry a pet that’s clearly not comfortable with a stranger yet I have my morning free up until 2pm so getting a head start from 6 or 7am is no big deal to me. We can work together if this schedule suits you, My home carries many cat toys and scratch posts. My cats have their water and food in an easily accessible area. No toxic chemicals or plants are in my home
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since childhood. I have an interest in all kinds of animals and I do not mind doing the dirty work to take care of them. I currently work 8-5 on weekdays, often ending at 4 or 4:30. I wake up early and can fit pet care into my morning before work and directly following work. In the morning, I can provide food and time outside/play time, and directly after work, I can provide a walk/exercise outside, and I can visit more times later in the evening as well. On weekends, I can come at any time of day, as many times as needed. I have a reliable form of transportation in the form of my own car, and I can very easily get from place to place. I live in the Frankfort suburbs, not too far from many places. In my own home, my pets stay in the house, and the dog is regularly taken outside for the bathroom, as well as getting walked once a day, sometimes twice. The cats do not go outside, and their litter gets cleaned once a day, but I can do more for your own pet. The dog is fed twice a day, and the cats are fed wet food once a day, with dry food available throughout the day.
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and more. Dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet. I currently work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to your pets! My schedule gives me ample availability for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and love they deserve while you're away! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions provided. From walks and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet receives plenty of love and attention. I also value communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands!
“Summer was such a great sitter for my dog, easy to communicate and extremely friendly to my dog. Kept me updated and send me such cute pictures and videos. I can tell my dog really had fun and was given a lot of love. Definitely will contact again !!! Was so kind to also take care of my dog last minute. Thank you so much Summer!”
“Robert did an amazing job! They sent me photos at each visit of the kitty and any updates. Asked before giving him any new treats. This is the calmest my cat has ever been when I’ve come back from a trip, like “I missed you, but you left me in good hands!” Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
About: My experience with pets has been incredibly rewarding. I've taken care of various animals, each with its own personality and needs, which has helped me develop patience and empathy. I always strive to create a safe and loving environment, ensuring that pets feel happy and comfortable when their owners are away. I am available Monday through Sunday! I occasionally babysit, otherwise I am usually free to watch / walk / check up / take care of your pet(s)! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I ensure that the space is secure and free from hazards, provide consistent and loving care, and maintain open communication with pet owners to build trust. This way, pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in any setting.
About: Doesn't have lot experience with dog's and I want to be honest but I know how to love them I've been taking their cats for many years By what I’m saying, I don’t believe that you would want me to do your dog and I can understand if you show me have the patient if you have the patient with me and thank you I’m disabled. I just not really due to me Dogs specially when it comes to my health , I apologize.thank you so everyone I can always try
“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two energetic, needy kitties while we were away for a week. She was great at communicating, and she provided written and picture updates during each visit. I could tell she enjoyed playing with the girls (she was always trying out new toys when playing with them). In fact, they didn’t seem to miss us that much when we came back. I would be more than happy to have Kat take care of our kitties in the future!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I’m a lifelong animal lover with 37 years of experience owning cats, and my family currently has three cats of our own. I love dogs, cats, snakes, and all kinds of reptiles! I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and compassionate. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks. I enjoy getting to know each pet and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pets. I’ll treat your animals with the same care and affection I give my own, follow their usual routines, and respect their individual needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure their pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and love! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I can coordinate visits, drop-ins, and dog walks with pet parents to help maintain their pets’ regular routines. I understand how important consistency is for animals, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, mealtimes, or evening check-ins. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My flexible routine allows me to make caring for your pets a priority while helping them feel comfortable, safe, and loved when you can’t be there. Safety, trust, and your pet’s comfort are always my priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your beloved animals requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living areas are kept clean and comfortable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could pose a safety risk. I also respect your home and your privacy. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings to help keep them safe. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for cats and a love for dogs and reptiles, I understand that every animal has different needs. I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to make them feel secure and cared for. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I would want for my own.
“Krista was great!! She came over exactly as scheduled to take our dogs out, feed them and give them some love while we were away for the day. She even came over before our booking to do a meet and greet which helped put our mind at ease leaving the dogs with someone new. They seemed to really love her and I was impressed with how knowledgeable and caring she was! We will absolutely use her again when the need arises ❤️❤️”
About: I fell in love with dogs ever since my grandma took me with her to get a husky. Bravo felt like mine and i’ve been helping her take care of him since I was 8 I am a college athlete and spend a lot of time training. I am pretty flexible with my schedule now and I believe this can be too! In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I will treat their home like it’s my own, keeping it tidy and clean. I will be communicative, giving updates and pictures. My goal is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and loved in whichever environment they are in.
“Very pleased with Kaitlyn service. We will definitely call her again , very knowledgeable on how to take care of my pets , took pictures of my pets for us to see them and kept me informed about how they were doing. Thank you Kaitlyn”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fairmont is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 644 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fairmont. 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.
