“I had a fantastic experience with Jackie. She was punctual and prompt, always arriving on time for our meet and greet. Her efficiency was impressive, and she was incredibly nice, making both me and my dog feel comfortable. My dog took to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with pets. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for reliable pet care!”
“Debra did a could drop-in visits on my kitties while my boyfriend and I were away for a few days. She met with us beforehand to chat and see where everything was. She was very warm and friendly, and she came by exactly when she said she would on those drop-in days. Their food and water were topped off when we got home and litter was all cleaned. They were well taken care of- thanks Debra!!”
About: I am an experienced dog walker and pre-covid ran a successful in-home dog daycare for 5 years. I have experience working with breeds of all sizes, from your tiny papillon to your huge Great Dane. I’d love the opportunity to walk your dog and/or visit them at home for some social interaction during the day. If you have any questions, I’m here to answer them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Since I work part-time, I have ample availability throughout the week, including weekends. This means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether you need regular dog walking or drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing reliable and convenient services to ensure your pets are well taken care of whenever you need assistance. When caring for your pet at your home, my priority is to create a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I’ll ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise while following their routine. For dog walking, I focus on providing an enjoyable and safe experience, adapting to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s leisurely strolls or more vigorous adventures, I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. Regular updates and communication will keep you informed about how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“We are so grateful to Mary for taking good care of our cats! We were gone for 2 weeks and Mary checked in on our kitties every day. She was very attentive to them, provided updates, and provided great care.”
“Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Hi!!! I love dogs and love watching them! Love their personalities and am good with showing them love ! I can’t wait to meet your baby/babies! I have a pretty open schedule! During the day I am always home. Some nights I work but when at work my man is home. I have a mini dachshund whose name is Oreo 😊who is super friendly and playful! I live in an apartment and put my window I have a little area where the dogs can run free that is fenced in! I can also take the dogs on walks or just let them play inside whatever you’re comfortable with! However they live with you they will live with me 🥰
“Susan always does a fantastic job and I can go on vacation knowing that my cat will be well taken care of! She sends us daily pictures and videos and is always in touch if she has any concerns. I highly recommend Susan!”
“Elliot was responsive, took great pictures, and seemed to enjoy our kitty!! We would hire him any time. He was also good at giving our pill-hating cat his daily pills!”
“My dog Buster is 15 years old; although very sweet, he requires special attention and patience. I believe Angelina went above & beyond to make him happy. I will definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets of friends, neighbors and family! I helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and overall care for their pets! I am currently working 4 days a week with 1 day remote. I do this as an extra stream of income and love working with pets! I currently live in an apartment, has a lot of space and in a quiet neighborhood. There are parks nearby and a walkable neighborhood, which are great for walks!
“Kaley did a great job taking care of our cats. We had to leave town unexpectedly and she agreed to visit them even with a very last minute request. We also forgot to leave the keys, so she had to deal with out building security to get inside. The cats love her and enjoy being around her. We came back to two happy munchkins!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. At that time, we got a standard poodle puppy (Inspector Gadget) who I fed, walked, played with, and let out before/after school everyday. When he was about 3, we also got a springer spaniel (Sookie) from the shelter who was an absolute angel, and mine and Gadget’s best friend. I always made sure they had what they needed and felt loved! I took care of Gadget until he sadly passed at the age of 14, and Sookie until she passed at the age of 10, so I have experience with elderly dogs as well. My mom recently got a golden retriever puppy who I would visit to walk, feed, and play with occasionally while she is at work. I also have experience with birds and cats. I am currently working as a resident at one of the local hospitals, so my schedule is variable, but by booking me you know that you will get a trusted professional to care for your pets. I am free every other weekend to care for pets, and am generally free in the evenings of weekdays. I have no problem showing any pet love, regardless of size or breed, and will make sure they get the attention and love they need! I am used to big and mid-sized dogs since that’s what I grew up with, so walking large dogs will not be a problem. I am familiar with standard training practices for dogs as well and will adhere to any specific instructions.
About: I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for my own pets has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My puggle was truly the love of my life and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the unconditional love that dogs bring to our lives. I understand how much our pets mean to us because I've experienced that special bond firsthand. I currently have a quirky little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who keeps me smiling every day. He's incredibly sweet, loves attention, and has his own unique personality. Caring for him has given me experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, grooming, and making sure he feels safe, happy, and loved. I've fostered cats briefly a couple times and truly respect their independence. I know every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know each personality and routine. Whether your dog/cat loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they receive the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I currently work full time from home. I'm able to stop by during the day and can do more extended visits in the evening/weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you're away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, provide plenty of exercise and playtime, and, of course, lots of love and attention. In a client's home, I respect both your home and your pet's routine, keeping their environment calm and familiar. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Michael was great! He was professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands, and I appreciated the updates and responsiveness. I would definitely recommend him to other pet owners.”
“The BEST! I was worried about leaving my senior girl for a few days, but Marcus had it under control! Effie loved being with him! In fact, when I returned from my weekend trip, after I greeted her, she walked to the hall to see if anyone else was coming. She was hoping for Marcus! 😁 Good communication and good prices. I highly recommend Marcus!”
“Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.
About: To me, every pet is a noble creation of nature we should treat with respect and compassion. I believe every pet should live a full life of happiness and fun, and I treat all pets the way I treat my own. I work from home all week, so I always have extra energy at the end of the day to go out. It's a perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the day while helping a pet have some time and exercise. I don't currently have a home great for boarding dogs as my yard is too small, and my house has a feisty cat as well.

Angie is the best! Return customer… last summer we left our dog for the first time ever (obviously we’re helicopter pet owners), and we felt so comfortable the whole time we were out of town bc of Angie’s stellar care. Naturally she did the same this year for our cat. 10/10 would recommend!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,260 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Hills. 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 Highland Hills. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
