About: I love cats and am happy to take the time to bring them out of their shell. I only work with cats at this time! I have a flexible work schedule and work from home Fridays. I oftentimes will be home during a typical 9-5 and am happy to adjust my work schedule as needed. I live in an apartment with one cat. My home includes a litter box, cat scratcher and plenty of toys already provided! Bring what you feel comfortable with.
“Joelle did a wonderful job checking in on my cats over the holiday! She was timely, reliable, and kept in good communication throughout her visits. I felt reassured knowing my cats were in good hands - I’d happily book with her again!”
About: I grew up in a family where we have always had a dog. My family had a yellow lab, who passed away when I was very little then we got another one who I grew up with all my life! I am the girl who will stop whatever I am doing just to pet a dog. I love being outdoors and taking a dog for a walk. I WFH full time so I am available during the week and able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. I also live on the first floor of an apartment complex with a small fenced in yard! Feel free to send me a message I’d you'd like to speak more about my services and your pet! I work from home Mon-Fri and have a dog of my own so I am available pretty much 24/7. I love going for walks and visiting the park to tire my own dog out as well as giving plenty of potty breaks throughout the day and time outside in my fenced in yard. I have a small fenced in yard as well as a very friendly and playful black lab of my own who will your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed! I would love to discuss more about your pet & their needs to make sure they feel their most comfortable during their time at my home!
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to treating your pets like family. I'm comfortable with multiple pets, shy/anxious animals, medications, and specific schedules. Whether your pet loves cuddles or prefers their own space, I'll happily follow their routine and give them the care they need. Beyond pet care, I make sure your home is cleaned and reset, just as you left it, so one less thing is waiting for you when you get home. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work an 8-hour schedule, allowing me to provide morning, after-work, and bedtime care. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends available for extra time and attention. I'm organized and flexible when it comes to following each pet's routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply keeping them company. I make sure they receive consistent, loving care while you're away. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow your instructions, respect your space, and accommodate your pet's individual needs. I'm also completely comfortable with home cameras. Communication is important to me, and I'll provide text check-ins and photo updates based on your preference. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in good hands while you're away.
About: l've cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I also worked as a dog washer at a doggy daycare, where | handled dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to stay calm, read body language, and help anxious or high-energy dogs feel comfortable and safe. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I'll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I'd want for my own. I currently have a very open and tlexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care, including weekends and short-notice bookings. I can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and individual needs to help pets feel secure and relaxed. I have experience handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments from my work at a doggy daycare, and I always provide patient, attentive care in a calm environment.
“Lauren was an outstanding sitter for our sweet, but shy cat. We got thorough daily updates, and Lauren gave our cat so much love and attention. She was very responsive with any potential issues. Will be reaching back out to Lauren next time we need a Rover!”
“We’ve been looking for someone who is comfortable with our high energy dogs and Matthew has been great! Super prompt and responsive and gives great feedback on how they are all doing.”
About: I have a Saint Bernard, three cats and a fish tank! I’ve had animals since I was born. I love them more than anything! They are my babies and I will make sure your babies are taken care of. I’m experienced in giving animals injections and medications as all my pets need all the above. I’ve also had small dogs as well. So I’m well experienced in all sizes! I’ve baby sat for many friends and family members who have asked me to return watching their fur babies many times. I’m extremely punctual, over communicate, and follow instructions that are provided to me. I’m not afraid to pick up the phone to call you incase I have a questions or concern! I’ve been told I’m loyal and very trustworthy. I currently quit the corporate world and I work for my fiancées company here at my own home! I’m available almost all the time! I will care for your pet in your own home! I’m comfortable going into new places and getting to know your fur baby. I feed and walk mine 3x a day as well as give them shots daily and give them medication. I’ve also taken care of many dogs and cats from friends and family who have asked me back many times!
“Blake was really reliable, and took great care of my pet! He checked in on time, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was also available to help at short notice when my flight got delayed. My bunny had major surgery this year so I am always nervous to leave him, but I knew he was in good hands! Highly recommend - thank you, Blake!”
“Caroline was just amazing with our cat for the week we were gone. Our cat is an adopted stray who is very shy of strangers, and Caroline was just wonderful about letting him warm up to her and by the time the week was over he was climbing all over her (in a good way). I highly recommend Caroline, great communication and wonderful care.”
About: My attention to detail and the pride I take in all my work. Whether it comes to school, my personal work, or taking care of animals, I want to be proud in knowing I did my best! I know how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your animals at home while you’re away or not being able to care for your pet due to unforeseen circumstances. So I want to provide my service to make that easier on you! I can send as many updates and photos and videos as you’d like! I’m also a very active person, I can take your dogs on walks or runs as far as you’d like. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I get off at 3 and always available on weekends. I am beginning to go back to school so I decided to start a side hustle that doesn’t feel like work to me! Taking care of animals genuinely feels like a treat to me. I waited until I had a my own space and steady job before making the decision to get my cat. I knew that I’d rather wait until I could give my pet the best! I believe what you feed your animals and the cleanliness of litter boxes/water/food bowls are extremely important. And I believe animals need lots of attention and mental stimulation!
“Aylin did drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town and was amazing as usual. The kitties were happy and calm when we returned. We can always count on pictures or videos from Aylin and don’t have to worry about our fur babies while we are away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Courtney was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly, patient, and caring with my cats. Papaya is especially shy and scared around new people, but Courtney made her feel comfortable enough to come out and eat within the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, sent great pictures, kept me updated, and was always punctual. I loved knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away. They absolutely loved her! I highly recommend Courtney and will definitely be using her services again. I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! ❤️
Haylee was wonderful! She took such great care of my fur baby and made sure everything went well while we were away. Charli experienced some tummy issues and made a couple of messes, but Haylee was so patient with her and communicative with me. I appreciated the videos she sent, which helped me determine if Charli was in distress. She even offered to come for an extra visit if we were worried about Charli. I was so grateful for the thoughtful care and will definitely book with Haylee again!
Jeannine was amazing! She took such wonderful care of my fur babies while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was incredibly sweet, attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay. Will be booking her again!
The girls are always so happy when I get home from my work trips! Thank you for doing a wonderful job with them as always, Lauren! If you need someone you can trust and who is communicative and reliable you’d be very lucky to partner with Lauren as your sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Highland Park is $24 per visit as of November 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. 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 1,142 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Park. 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.
