She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

“Sarah was so great with Chelsea & Nut Nut. She took pictures of them and provided good details of her visit. She was friendly and responsive. It is a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were out of town. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Michael was so great with my boys that I've already booked with him again. He sent photos, videos, and updates with every visit. My cats can be a little shy at first but I could tell from the videos that warmed up to him very quickly. I could tell they were in good hands which helped make my trip more enjoyable, since I didn't have to worry about them. When I got home, both of my guys were calm and relaxed. Clean litter box, clean food dishes, and a full, clean water fountain. I can't recommend Michael enough.”

About: First Aid & CPR Certified. I have taken care of pups since I can remember I had my first fur baby when I was in my early 20's. I love outdoor walks, dog walking is a plus for me. I enjoy taking care of animals, giving them the attention they need and give them the love they deserve. I am constantly around animals every day and I love it. I do currently work part-time in my days off I do take care of my 8 year old nephew and he's 4 year old toy poodle name Jordi which I enjoy I feed him play with him, give him hes potty breaks, do walks with them both. Its in my DNA I love to take care of people and furr animals. I also do have a 2 year old cat her name is Athena I got her when she was 4 weeks old and love every second of it. Our days consist of cuddling she likes being rubbed. I would do drop in visits, make sure to feed them play with them, would love to do walks with them and make sure they are happy and comfortable.
“We had a wonderful experience with Natalie and couldn’t recommend her more! She took great care of our dog, Hazel, during a drop-in visit and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Natalie was incredibly communicative, dependable, and attentive, keeping us updated throughout the visit. She was also wonderful with our cat, even though caring for her wasn’t part of the scheduled visit! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust with our pets and would absolutely book with Natalie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Irina is absolutely amazing! First, she saved us when we had a last-minute cancellation. She responded quickly, allowing us to go on our vacation as planned. Second, this was the first time we left our cat, Bearchik, with someone else. Bearchik is a shy cat who usually hides from strangers, but he warmed up to Irina immediately. She took exceptional care of him, going above and beyond by not only attending to his needs but also playing with him. Every day, Bearchik greeted her and even accompanied her to the stairs. I will definitely ask Irina to cat-sit Bearchik again and highly recommend her to others. She is professional, adores cats, and the feeling is clearly mutual!”
“After our meet and greet, I knew Abby would be great! She has such a good energy and Dutch picked up on that as well. Abby was punctual with drop ins and responsive. I also appreciated the photos and notes after every visit. My trip was even more enjoyable because I knew my furbaby was in good hands. Thank you so much Abby, we really appreciate it! I would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“If you are looking for a reliable and communicative sitter, you found her! Lauren was so responsive and took such great care of my beloved cat. I always get a little anxious leaving my pets, but Lauren gave me peace of mind and provided fun updates!! Thank you Lauren!!!!”
About: Most recently had two yellow labs both over 100 pounds and at the same time an orange cat. I am looking forward to caring for your family member and making a new friend with them. I am also a horticulturist and can take care of your plants while you’re gone as well. I currently work full time so I would be free during lunch and after work to check on your babies. I can also take care of them most weekends. My cat is too jealous for me to invite others over so I would prefer to come to your house. I’d love for them to sleep over but that’s not in the cards
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 35 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors and dogs with unique personalities and needs. My experience includes structured walks, basic obedience, leash manners, socialization, feeding routines, play, and providing calm, dependable care. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is more than simply keeping your dog safe—I want them to feel comfortable, engaged, exercised, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my routine, and I take each booking seriously. I plan my schedule around my clients so I can provide consistent, attentive care rather than rushing through visits. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other services based on my current availability. I communicate clearly with owners and make sure their pets receive the time, exercise, attention, and routine they need. Safety and trust come first with every pet I care for. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, maintain secure leashes and doors, and pay attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. For care in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I never assume that every dog has the same needs, so I take time to understand feeding, medication, exercise, crate, and household instructions before providing care. Clear communication and responsible supervision are priorities from the beginning of every booking.
“Amanda did an amazing job. She kept us updated with how everything was going and even sent us photos. The house was kept as clean as we had it and all of our boys were clearly well loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend her for any of your needs to include house sitting! Very reliable and trustworthy!”
“I booked in-home care with Wanqing for the two foster kittens I'm caring for while I was away for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reliable. Before the booking even began, Wanqing took the time to come meet the girls and do a walkthrough of my apartment, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout my trip, she sent thoughtful daily updates along with photos. Since the kittens weren't used to her at first and spent a lot of time hiding, I really appreciated how patient she was. She even took the initiative to research kitten behavior, ask friends for advice, and bring over different toys to help them feel more comfortable. That level of care and dedication meant a lot to me. When I returned home, the girls had grown so much. They were happy, healthy, and noticeably more social. As someone fostering them with the goal of finding them loving forever homes, continuing their socialization while I was away was one of my biggest concerns, and Wanqing did a wonderful job supporting that. What stood out most was that her care didn't end when the booking did. She followed up the next day to make sure I had arrived home safely and that the girls were settling back in well. Overall, I'm so glad I chose Wanqing. She genuinely cares about animals and their well-being, and it shows in everything she does. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, patient, and dependable pet sitter.”

Brittnee was the absolute best. This was our first time using Rover and Brittnee was wonderful. She always communicated how the visits went, included photos and kept us in the loop on how our cats were doing. It was a big relief to know Brittnee was taking care of them so well while we were away. Would highly recommend Brittnee to anyone looking for an incredible pet sitter.
I had such a great experience with Maya! She took amazing care of Autumn while I was away and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and I absolutely loved getting so many pictures and updates throughout my trip! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Autumn was happy and in great hands. I travel frequently for work, so finding someone reliable and trustworthy is really important to me. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Rory is THE best. She is incredibly reliable and communicative and does a great job checking in on my cats whenever I am away. One of my cats requires an inhaler twice a day, and Rory always does exactly as required. I really have such a piece of mine whenever I am out of town because I know my cats are in great hands. And, they love her!
Michael was so great with my boys that I've already booked with him again. He sent photos, videos, and updates with every visit. My cats can be a little shy at first but I could tell from the videos that warmed up to him very quickly. I could tell they were in good hands which helped make my trip more enjoyable, since I didn't have to worry about them. When I got home, both of my guys were calm and relaxed. Clean litter box, clean food dishes, and a full, clean water fountain. I can't recommend Michael enough.
Trynne is the best!! She always goes above and beyond to care for our cats. She also sends very detailed updates and takes the best pictures. You can genuinely tell that Trynne has a passion for animals. My kitties and I look forward to our next visit with her! 🤍

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Highland Park is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
