About: I’m a pet lover excited to offer caring, reliable pet sitting and walking services. I bring tons of energy, love, and attention to every pet I meet. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priority. I’m currently a part-time caregiver who loves spending time with pets ☺️ I currently do not have pets at home so spending time with yours is the highlight of my day. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own and your pet like family. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Ann is great with my little senior guy. He can be a bit finicky with strangers but warmed up to her quickly. We are very grateful for her flexible schedule and great communication!”
“Yat (Agnes) did a fantastic job looking after my senior cat while I was away. We met prior to the sitting visits. She made sure she had a clear understanding of everything she would need to do for my cat. Followed instructions perfectly, was consistently on time, and sent me plenty of pictures each time she visited. When we returned my cat was calm and relaxed. I will definitely book with her again.”
“I cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyond—every message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It’s such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough!”
“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Coretta was an angel with our shy cat Harriet—Coretta had her sitting nearby for pets the very first day! It was easy to trust her with our cat and our home, and we can't wait to have her back again.”
“Kate has been amazing with taking care of Pandora! She’s patient, caring, and very dependable. Kate gives very detailed notes and we always feel like Pandora is getting top tier care! Thank you Kate!”
“Edgar was easy to work with and very attentive to my cat. My cat is a senior and I mix meds into her breakfast plate. He was able to accommodate her schedule. I would not hesitate to have him take care of her the next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons and ball pythons. I have a lot of experience and can easily take care of your pet or pets. I currently work full time in Burr Ridge from 8 AM to 4 PM. I’m available after work and on the weekends to care for your fur babies. I can easily adjust to your pet or pets schedule. I can take them for walks or hangout with them in a fenced yard. I can stick to your feeding schedule and I can also give medicine if needed.
“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life! I had a puppy as a young girl, and cared for her through her old age. I also have extensive pet sitting experience, and have watched 5 dogs simultaneously. I have a very caring personality and would love to care for your fur babies! When it comes to cats, I have about 12 years of experience. I have taken care of numerous outdoor stray cats, and have rehomed many of them, including taking two into my own home. I am self employed (jewelry artist!) so I have plenty of time to check in with your pets, walk/play etc. I am available anytime during the week (M-F) and usually on the weekends as well. I currently live in a small apartment, and would need to come by you. I am excellent at following directions, and will cater to you and your pets needs.
“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She sent photos of Cricket’s food and water bowls each visit and kept her litter box clean. Although Cricket hid the entire time, I felt extremely comfortable trusting Stephanie with her. I will definitely book with Stephanie again :)”
“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hodgkins
Nastassia did a great job and definitely would use her again. She sent pictures daily with a report. Our cat is feisty and not very welcoming with strangers, but I felt confident that she was in good hands. Nastassia is clearly experienced to manage our sassy cat, and I’m sure next time our cat would be happy to see her. Highly recommend Nastassia.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,869 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hodgkins. 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 Hodgkins. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
