About: I am an experienced animal caretaker that is great with dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet is a puppy/kitten, senior, or anywhere in between, I am knowledgeable in all types of care needed. I am comfortable working with pets that need additional potty training help, special needs, and medication handling. Something unique about me is that I have experience owning reptiles (lizards, turtles), frogs, fish, and even ferrets, along with dogs and cats! I work part time so my schedule is super flexible. I can accommodate appointments every weekday and most weekends whether they are early morning, afternoon, or overnights. I have experience with: -Handling large, strong dogs -Crating dogs or cats if needed -Handling/feeding reptiles and amphibians -Securing gates and doors to make sure no pets try to escape! -My cats are all vaccinated and healthy, so there is no risk of me bringing any illness/germs into your homes!
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
About: I've been around animals around pretty much my whole life. I've had 3 cats and 3 dogs growing up, and I started caring for them myself by the age of 10. I've also had hamsters, guinea pigs, and a hedgehog. Making sure that pets feel safe and loved is my #1 goal. I work full time, but I have no problem checking in on them before my shifts and after my shifts. It makes my days feel more fulfilled. I will take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, play with them outside in the yard, and always make sure that they are safe.
About: I’ve been cat and dog sitting for over a decade. I specialize in larger breeds but love animals of all sizes! I have a senior stafforshire terrier and a three year old pit mix, so I am well versed in all ages. I only work four days a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang with your pups! I have most mornings and evenings free for both walks and making sure they’re comfortable at home! I’ll care for your dog in your home so that they’re as comfortable as possible, and treat both your animals and your home with the utmost respect and care.
“Elly was great! She was on time for the visit, followed all of our instructions and communicated perfectly. She has great attention to detail and calm energy that is very important with one of our dogs that is shy around new people. We couldn't be happier with Elly and will definitely use her again for drop ins and evernight stays.”
About: Hi! My name is Julie and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously worked as an Adoption Manager at Anderson Animal Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. Through my work, I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also worked as a manager at Pet Supplies Plus, where I further expanded my knowledge of pet care, nutrition, supplies, and the unique needs of different animals. Between both roles, I’ve spent years helping pet owners and caring for animals in professional settings. In addition, I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical support, or just lots of attention and affection, I’m confident providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of dogs over the years, from small breeds to large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling pets with varying energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their unique routines and comfort levels. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and loving hands. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! Im currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have open availability most weekends and can stop by after 3PM on weekdays. I give my German shepherd walks every day and lots of play time to help relieve some of his energy. Depending on you pets needs I can accommodate them any way you see fit.
“Heather is such a wonderful cat sitter! This was our second time having her do drop in visits for our 3 cats. She does a great job communicating and we love the pictures she sends. Our cats are happy and aren't anxious at all when we come home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her services! Thank you, Heather!”
“Had a great experience with Bethany. She watched my cat Milo while I was away picking up my daughter from school. Even though Milo was shy (and a tad territorial), she took great care of him. Would highly recommend!”
“Nicole was hands down awesome! Our 2 boys loved seeing the photos she would send at each drop-in. One of our dogs was a little slow to warm up at first, but I liked that she didn’t let it bother her. Before we knew it, they were best buds! HIGH RECOMMEND HER!!”
About: I have lived with and trained multiple dogs and cats for my entire life! I am a massive animal lover and I have cared for disabled, senior, and young dogs! I am flexible with my hours. Some days I can spend the entire day in the house, others I can be there every 2-4 hours, and others I can do 4-8 hours. I work full days in Crystal Lake, but I can make my own hours to suit your needs. I am a very hands-on person. I cater to each dog's needs! Some dogs need lots of physical exercise as well as mental stimulation. I have experience with utilizing training techniques, puzzle toys, and stimulating activities for working breeds or high-energy dogs. I have patience for the senior dogs and have no issue with supporting their body weight and monitoring health.
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!”

About: I’m a full-time higher education professional with years of experience in positions requiring trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I provide calm, reliable care while keeping pets in their familiar environment. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, taking care of only regular clients, but I’m back on the hunt for new furry friends! Please note that I did change my first name legally a few years back which you may observe in the reviews. I adore dogs but with my busy lifestyle, ownership is not in the cards for me. I believe they are a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and I honor that by recognizing the limitations in my life. But that's where you come in! I get my snugs, and you get someone who will care for your fur baby as their own fur baby! I’m currently caring for animals in their home. As a military veteran, I understand how stressful it can be to travel often and worry about my little friends at home. Consistency and trust are deeply rooted in the work I do.
About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently live with 2 of them and my cat (she's a queen, but loves her furry, fellow roommates :) ) I have experience with senior, high energy and large dogs. I’m happy to make drop in visits, house sit, play, give attention and take them on walks (even in Chicago winters!). I understand how much our furry friends mean to us and wanting them in the best hands while away. I take my responsibility very seriously and my passion for dogs and cats makes this a fun position for me as well. We’re all busy people but I work to be flexible and accommodating to you and your pet to ensure they’re given the attention they need. Can’t wait to meet your fuzzy, furry fur babies! I currently have a full time job in Crystal Lake but I’m happy to flex my time to make space in my schedule for any needed pet care. I'm an active, driven individual with a big heart who loves animals of all kinds :) I'm a vigilant, passionate caretaker who provides love and attention to detail wherever I am - at home, in other homes or out in public.

Katie was amazing. A few days she had her kids come with her which was super cute and playful. I haven't traveled this long in a while I had alot of anxiety about my adult cat shes my princess and we have 5 month old kitten. She was great with communication and doing what they needed. I am excited to go home and get my snuggles but I am glad they had Katie as a "bonus mom"

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hartland on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Hartland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
