“Haylee was absolutely amazing with my cat Toby while I was away. She was professional, kind, and clearly experienced. She followed all care instructions perfectly and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!”
“Maggie rocks! She insta-bonded with our very people-shy kitty and was so sweet with her and took care of every little detail. I wish we could leave more stars. Will book again if at all possible”
“Audette was absolutely fantastic! Communication was top notch and I felt so at ease knowing she was taking great care of my cats. One of my cats is a bit difficult and she handled her with ease. Will definitely book with her again!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving my cats to a sitter but Maya was super helpful and a great relief. I was able to have a worry-free trip knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
“Carrin is very professional, dependable and loves animals! It’s always a bit stressful leaving your fur babies with someone they don’t know. Our kitties warmed up to Carrin at her first meet and greet visit. She made certain that they ate and were loved while we were gone. She communicated with us in a daily basis. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
“Saige was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of the kitties, and was super communicative and nice! One of my kitties is especially shy and she warmed up to Saige very quickly. Would definitely recommend Saige!”
About: Hello my name is Blake and I am a veterinary student starting veterinary school in 2027. I grew up with veterinarians as parents and took care of a wide range of animals and I am comfortable administering medication. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and love caring for them and will treat your pets just like my family! I also have pet reptiles and fish and have experience with many species of small mammals and birds if you have any exotic pets that also need care. I am happy to play with your dogs and cats, go for walks, do home visits, feed your pets, administer medication, clean litter boxes, and whatever else you may need. I have a more flexible schedule until I start veterinary school and can be available most days. If you need pet care at odd times I can probably fit you into my schedule. I have a fenced yard at my house and have a friendly golden retriever, Trinity. If I board your dog they will have a friend to hang out with while you’re gone and will be in safe hands!
“Cynthia has been absolutely amazing with my cats! She spends a good amount of time playing with them! They always seem eager for her visits. Cynthia has also been super responsive to my changing dates and needs. Very easy to work with. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
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.
“Caroline was extremely reliable and such a good sitter for my cat! She was extremely communicative and would provide picture updates of my cat each check in. Plus my cat is a lot older and she followed all of the instructions I provided! I’ll definitely be rebooking her again!”
“Rachel is absolutely AMAZING!!! She was quick to respond and gave lots of great descriptions and photos of my babies. Her descriptions truly made me feel like they were getting great quality play time!! I highly highly highly recommend using Rachel. I know she will be my go-to from here on out!!”
“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!”
“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: 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
“Joanna took great care of our kitties while we were out! When we got back, our kitties were in good spirits :-) she went above and beyond in taking them outside, putting on bird tv for them, and ensuring their food bowls were cleaned / water refreshed. Would recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of professional experience managing an animal shelter and veterinary clinic. Caring for animals has been a huge part of both my professional and personal life, and I’ve almost always had either my own pets or foster animals in my home. Because of my shelter and veterinary background, I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who may need a little more patience or experience. I’ve worked extensively with senior pets, medical cases, behavioral challenges, shy or anxious animals, and pets who simply need extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I’m fully experienced administering medications, including oral, topical, and injectable medications. I’m also comfortable giving insulin and understand how important precise timing, dosing, feeding schedules, and consistency can be for diabetic and other medically managed pets. If your pet has special instructions, I’m happy to follow them closely. I own my own business and work from home, which means pets staying with me get lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, and company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. My home is very pet-friendly — dogs are welcome on the furniture and even in bed with me if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home! At the same time, I know how important consistency is, so if your pet isn’t allowed on furniture, sleeps in a crate, eats at specific times, follows particular commands, or has other household rules, I’m happy to maintain those. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and consistent as possible while you’re away, not send them home having learned a whole new set of rules! I live in a beautiful, walkable area with access to grassy areas and a nearby park for walks and outdoor time. I do not use dog parks, so your dog won’t be exposed to unfamiliar off-leash dogs while in my care. Walks and activities can always be adjusted to your pet’s age, energy level, mobility, and normal routine. I currently have a Great Dane who may look intimidating because of his size, but he is incredibly sweet, calm, and gentle. He has worked as a certified therapy dog visiting nursing homes and is accustomed to being around animals of different sizes and temperaments. I’m very mindful about introductions and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable. I’m also very experienced with cats. I recently lost my two longtime cats at 18 years old, so while I don’t currently have cats of my own, I’m comfortable caring for them and can accommodate feline guests as well. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m happy to learn all the little details that make your pet feel at home — their routines, quirks, favorite activities, feeding schedule, sleeping habits, medications, and anything else you’d like me to know. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, medically complicated, anxious, quirky, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them individualized care while you’re away. I am a business owner who works from home, leaving endless options to plan the day with your pets and ensure they are getting the attention they deserve. I live in an incredibly pet friendly community (which is the sole reason I signed a lease here!) and am always spending time outdoors, happy to bring those along who enjoy time outside during cooler weather and on days where weather isn't ideal, love cuddling up with the pups. I love to have a relaxing night in with a movie and couch cuddles!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
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! 🤍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
