“Linda and George did an excellent job of looking after our kitties while we were out of town on an extended stay. We primarily worked with Linda and she was extremely kind, helpful, and communicative. One of our boy's enjoyed her visits so much that he started waiting at the door for her to arrive in the mornings!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of numerous types of animals, primarily cats and dogs. My neighbors, family and friends rely on me for their pet care needs because I treat them as my own, giving them love and attention in addition to their regular feedings and potty needs. I am available on the weekends! On Friday’s, my availability would start after 5pm. I am available all day on Saturdays. Sunday’s I do take care of horses during the day from 9am-3pm; however, I am available before and after for walks and potty breaks. I make your pet’s needs my main priority. If they should make any messes while you are away, I always do my best to clean it up as though it never happened, so that you can come home to a happy fur baby and find your home just the way you left it.
“Maureen stopped in to feed and give my cat some company while my family and I were on vacation. She was wonderful and sent great pics and updates! Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Vicki was absolutely amazing with our diabetic cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Giving insulin and caring for a diabetic pet requires experience, patience, and attention to detail, and Vicki handled everything with confidence and compassion. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cat’s well-being and treated him like one of her own. Knowing our cat was in such capable, loving hands allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm and gotten the opportunity to work with many different animals and I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house I am student so I have time all day to play with you pets! I’m very excited to get to meet them this summer and hopefully go on some fun walks! I am tall and ready to work with your animals to make sure we have a safe fun time together during our play time this summer
About: A walk without a dog is a missed opportunity. I have been a pet owner for 30 years. Chester, Goldie and Anya graced our home with love, lots of fur and many cuddles. I care for all pets as I have my own with a nurturing, adventurous attitude. I look forward to meeting your family! I go for long walks daily and would love to include your pet on the journey. I am available to care for your pet before and after work. I am off most weekends and some weekdays as well. I have a loving kitty who grew up with dogs and cats. I am happy to care for your pet in home. I have an available kennel for pups who find comfort there at night and am also happy to cuddle and play with them where they thrive. Miles of greenway are just steps away from my home.
“Ashley is absolutely fantastic. Our senior cat is very shy and shows himself for no one, but Ashley makes sure to leave treats and little surprises around for him to find and we can tell it makes a huge difference to him. She seems to know exactly what he needs and her consistency and extra care gives him a sense of comfort and a bit of enrichment while we’re away.”
“Alexander was kind, professional, dependable and provided updates about my cat while I was gone. He was flexible when I needed to modify the dates of care. He was responsive to messages. I would completely trust my cat with him again. Thank you Alexander.”
About: I currently have a cat of my own -Ozzy- and have cared for him for the past three years, giving me a lot of experience with feeding, keeping routines, playtime, litter box care, and paying attention to changes in behavior or mood. I previously worked at a pet store where I helped care for shelter cats up for adoption. This gave me the opportunity to work with cats with different personalities and comfort levels and taught me the importance of patience and letting each animal come to you at their own pace. In anddition, I’ve also cared for my neighbors' pets over the years, including cats, dogs, birds and rabbits while they were away. I grew up with dogs and have experience walking and caring for them, as well as growing up with hamsters and birds. While I'm not comfortable handling birds directly, I'm happy to help with basic care such as feeding and cage cleaning. Working late? I’ve got you! I work a full time office job, so my most reliable weekday availability is early mornings for check-in visits and after 4 pm for dog walks and check-ins. Rain or snow? No problem! I’m happy to get outside for your dog’s walk as long as conditions are safe for both me and your pup! I’m also available Saturday/Sunday mornings and afternoons, with evenings varying from week to week. Feel free to reach out even if your schedule doesn’t perfectly match my usual availability as I’m happy to see if we can make it work. For weekday mornings or earlier afternoon visits, I may be able to accommodate requests with a few days notice depending on the location. I’m especially flexible around the Downers Grove area. My goal is to find a schedule that works for both of us and, most importantly, keeps your pet happy and well cared for. I know how important our pets are to us, and I want you to feel confident that yours is in caring, dependable hands while you're away. I'm a calm and attentive caregiver who takes the time to learn each pet's individual personality, routine, and needs. For check-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and oral medication (pills only—no injections). I’ll also send you a photo and update during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. I’m mindful that I’m also a guest in your home. I clean up after myself, keep your pet’s food, toys, and supplies where they belong, and leave things as I found them. I believe clear communication is an important part of building trust, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet. At this time, I offer check-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding.
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”
About: I have vet tech experience, and have had dogs and cats of my own since I was little. I am comfortable with anything from puppies to senior pets, as well as kitties! My availability varies, but typically open most mornings and evenings, and occasionally middays for walks/ drop ins. I can also care for your pet while you are out of town! Happy to be flexible with scheduling. Having a cat myself, I understand the need to have someone safe and loving care for your pet. You can trust that I will be that for them!
“Sophia was awesome! She took great care of our dog and gave him lots of extra love. She was also able to give him a few extra medications that we didn’t originally anticipate & was a great and quick communicator. Highly recommend and we hope to have Sophia back again for pet care!”
About: I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, creating a calm, cozy experience that feels just like home. I’m dependable, follow instructions closely, and treat every animal with the same care and consistency I’d give my own! My availability is completely open and flexible, so I am able to come on over and take care of your pet even in last minute scenarios! I have four cats and a golden retriever of my own and I absolutely adore all of them! Pets, listen up if you’re reading this, I care for them by providing multiple cuddles and belly rubs throughout the day. I take my golden on three walks a day- morning, afternoon, and evening. I feed my cats in the morning and their wet food in the evening, and of course my golden is a little spoiled (very loved) so he gets a special meal cooked for him. He also requires medication twice a day which is another responsibility of mine! Overall, every pet in my household is very loved and I would love to bring that love and care to your pets as well.
About: 10 years ago I had the opportunity of getting a schnauzer called Lady and since then my world changed with her. 6 years ago I moved from Ecuador to Florida and Lady had to stay with my family, and since then I have been able to be around furry friends as I would take care of my friends dogs and cats while they went on vacation. I currently own a 20 gallon fish tank with 40+ fishies and due to work I cannot own my own furry friend yet. I know my work schedule with a month in advance and I have at least 12 days off every month. Usually my days off are during the week and depending on my schedule I can take care of the doggies or cats before/after I finish working. I live in a townhome around a lot of trails and parks where I can go with your dogs to play. I do not have any other pets except for my fishies at home so they would have my complete attention.

Kassandra feels like a part of the family now that we have used her so many times! She goes above and beyond each time, vacuuming, refilling pet supplies, etc., things I don’t even ask, she does anyway. She even grabbed a can of whipped cream at the store for our cat when we ran out all on her own. Book Kassandra, you won’t be disappointed!
Kate was great taking care of our cats while we were gone. It was the first time they were being left alone but she stopped by 2x a day for us feeding them and checking in. She communicated with us everyday and sent pictures. We appreciate everything she did- even got our mail! She definitely went above and beyond.
Caitlin always does such a wonderful job with our cats. She’s been looking after them for over a year now whenever we’re out of town. Even our most neurotic and picky cat is fond of her. When we come home exhausted from our trips, the cats are always happy, healthy, and it’s clear they’ve been well taken care of. Caitlin is always communicative and responsive, as well.
Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Geneva is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 1,787 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Geneva. 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.
