“Dana did a great job with our girls who warmed up to her really quickly. We appreciated her sending us photos and giving us updates how they were doing. Thank you again Dana!”
“I'll always be booking Ash and I may start planning my vacations around Ash's availability (kind of joking :) ). We have a reserved cat that Ash has been great with. Timely, great summaries, and great pictures of the visit that just leave me at ease. Don't hesitate to book Ash. You won't regret it.”
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible
“Ashley was attentive and followed all of my instructions. She went above and beyond trying to befriend my shy guy cat lol. I'm definitely using her in the future for Gary!”
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Carly: What can we say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Three days of check ins,with our fur baby, and she was wonderful, well fed, and sassy as ever. You put in the extra effort and searched her out, and I know how hard it is to find a kitten. You found her and sent us pictures every day. You made us feel so much better, having to leave her for the first time. Thanks for bringing in our mail and even the package, you even fixed Maggie's swing. Truly the best ever!”
“It was our first time using an outside dog walker. Beth showed up on time and send us cute updates and photos! She will definitely be our regular walker moving forward!”
“Melissa is wonderful! She’s so good with our dogs and is very conscientious. One of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people, but Melissa helped her feel more comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Melissa!”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
“Rachel was wonderful- she went over to my office last minute (hours before) without meeting my pup previously and you can tell he had the BEST time!! They sent videos, cute pictures, and were running around with him. Could not ask for more. Would 100000% recommend and will be reaching out in the future. Thank you!!”
“Britt was absolutely amazing!! Our dog doesn't like new people taking her out right away, but she took to Britt within just a couple days. Very easy to work with and 100000% recommend!”
“Kelly was very communicative and took care of my cat, Luna, very well! I felt at ease once I met Kelly, because I knew she would take care of my cat the way she would take of hers. She also took the cutest pictures every time she watched Luna!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and birds, with some experience pet sitting for friends and family. I am a quick learner with great attentinon to detail, aiming to keep all pets happy and healthy! I am currently on a gap year prior to grad school and have very open availability for the summer months. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. Safety is of the utmost importance. I always ensure that collars and leashes are secure prior to walks, and that doors are closed and locked.

I always feel confident that my two cats will be well taken care of by Ash while I'm away. I love receiving the daily photos when Ash drops in as they always make me smile! I have booked Ash several times, will continue to use her, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Victoria was awesome with our 2 cats! She took great care of them and followed our directions precisely. She even helped problem-solve an issue with the automatic feeder to ensure they would be okay after she left. My shy cat seemed very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them!
I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!
Edgar and his kids did such a great job taking care of my cat Jake that even though he’s so shy with people he started to feel comfortable and safe with them within a few days. He always had plenty of food and water and Edgar was communicative and sent pictures everyday and text messages everyday. I highly recommend him and his kids. Thank you for taking care of my baby so well!
Alex took wonderful care of our two cats while we were on a two week trip. She dropped in once a day and even volunteered to check in a few extra times to put medicine on our cat that had a skin sore. Alex is great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Alex. She does an excellent job!

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
