Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!

Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.

Absolutely amazing. I had so much peace of mind thanks to Sydney, and my cats seemed quite happy with her too! Plenty of pat pats given, playing some, and clean food/water/box. Will definitely be contacting her again for future pet sitting.

About: We’re Layla and Gracie, a sister team who work together to care for your pets like they’re our own. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, we’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, small pets, chickens, goats, and even donkeys. We take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine, which allows us to offer flexible and consistent care. I am a full-time online veterinary technician student, and my sister Gracie is volunteering regularly at a local animal shelter with the goal of becoming a veterinary assistant. Because of our availability, you’ll be able to depend on us for walks, check-ins, and overnight care every day of the week. Your pets will always have priority in our schedules and routines! When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we do our best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. We follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions (medications, diets, etc.) to make sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free when they’re without you. We spend quality time with each pet based on their needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. We’re happy to provide updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Danielle stepped in for us at the last minute for drop in visits when our original sitter canceled. She was really great with our pup! She was punctual, patient, friendly, and sent plenty of photos and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!

About: I love giving pets happy moments while you’re away and treat any pet as my own I feel that’s what sets me apart from anyone else :) I work part time so I’m able to be available for my pets and other pets and give each pet time and care while in my care. I care for pets by providing basic necessities such as water, play time, cuddles and attention towards your pet in order to satisfy your pet with their stay with me. :)

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.

Ryder our dog was excited to see her from the start which isn’t normal but we were happy to see. She provided us with pictures and updates throughout our night our without us asking. Very affordable and seemed to be affected towards Ryder. She stayed later then was scheduled and cleaned up messes. We will be having her watch him again.

About: I have worked with animals most my life. At a young age, I was helping out and working with the animals. As i got older i fell in love with being around any animal i found. In high school i took vet classes. I was able to work with actual animals learning how to bath, simple grooms, nail trims, anal glads and more. I have worked at a vet clinic administering medications, taking animals on walks, restraining, helping sick animals, puppies/kittens, and working with old pets. I will ensure your pets saftey to my full ability. No animal is too much for me and i fall in love with everyone i meet! I will give them the same love and care you you show them! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to play, care and be there for your baby’s! I’m available all week and weekends! I currently only offer pet sitting in your home. I will be very respectful and manner full of my surroundings and beings. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of to the fullest ability following any guidelines you have for your fur baby or otherwise.

Christine did an amazing job taking care of my pup. She is great with communication and is always willing to help if she is available. My pup is less anxious when I return from trips and I know that can be attributed to the care Christine provides. I would recommend her to anyone!

About: I've helped to run a dog rescue and took in dogs and puppies of all sizes and shapes and backgrounds. I've helped to place dogs in their forever homes and fell in love with a few of them! I adopted my own pup back in 2013 and he was the best thing to ever happen to me. I saw him through puppy hood to senior dog to his retirement a couple months ago. :-( Having a dog around, your own or someone elses, is always this special sort of comfort you cant get from anywhere else. I'm very responsible when it comes to other peoples space and pets. I always make sure doors are shut / gates are locked and whatever other guidelines Im given are followed. Taking care of someone else's pet deserves the utmost respect. Same amount I would expect for my own dog. I am a massage therapist with a light schedule during the week so I have a lot of extra time to goto your home and care for your animals. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I’d love to care for your pets in your home. I can stay there or not- but i know animals like to have people around more often than not. I’d care for your home and animals as if they were my own.

About: Growing up in the country, I have grown up with all sorts of animals (dogs, cat, rabbit, cows, longhorns). However, dogs have been the animal with me throughout my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was 6 and have had 3-10 dogs at a time since then! Needless to say, I'm definitely a dog person. I have experience feeding, walking, and washing dogs, and can do some basic self-taught training (sitting, down, shake). I also have house-sat and pet-sit for some family friends' and my friends' parents on several occasions. My house is full of animal love. I have a 3-year-old Plott hound mix (named Nova), a 4-year-old German Shepard (named Goose), and a 8 month old cat (named Ary). They all have their own special quirks, but are so funny and love running and playing! Nova is very food motivated and loves to run in circles and play in water, Goose is very toy motivated and could play frisbee for hours without a break if we let him, and Ary is the definition of a "lap cat" but loves being our pest control when she see an bug. I hope you give me the chance to give your fur babies some extra love and attention! I'm a full-time social worker! I can provide overnight visits whenever, but walking and drop-ins are only available on weekends and then during school scheduled breaks (my availability will reflect it)! In my home, one of my dogs is crated due to her liking to get in the trash. So, I am easily able to crate your dog if necessary and of course feed, water, play, and walk them as needed! Also, more than willing to send you pictures of your dogs throughout the visit if that's something you want :)

Alexis has totally put me at ease taking care of my two pups. They both have some quirks (anxiety and no concept of personal space) and meeting with her and seeing her intuitive nature, ability to read their body language, and strong communication + positive attitude gave me a lot of confidence in having her in my home with my boys. She sends lots of pictures and provides a full update - so happy to have her at home when we can't be there!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 2,351 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joliet. 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 Joliet. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
