About: Hi! I am a Senior at Lake Forest College studying Psychology on a pre-nursing track. I grew up in Boise, Idaho surrounded by animals, both my own and others’. I have a passion for the outdoors, including skiing, hiking, camping, and more! I am also an athlete and love any excuse to get some exercise. ln addition to being outdoors, I love reading, knitting, watching shows, and studying. So, I can watch your furry friend(s) in any way they’d like! I’m hoping to make some money to pay my bills and go to nursing school next year :) Growing up I had a high-energy dog, many hamsters, a leopard gecko, and a cat. I also spent my entire high school career volunteering at my local humane society, working with both dogs and cats. My work consisted of walking dogs, petting cats, creating enrichments, and cleaning kennels. This has given me experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Currently, I dog and cat sit regularly for a few families. My friends and family would describe me as kind, passionate, caring, level-headed, reliable, and loving. When around animals, everyone always comments about how the animals gravitate towards me, which I take great pride in. I am thrilled to meet you and your pets. Message me to arrange a meeting. **Schedule** I am hoping to care for your animals in between classes and athletics. Despite my busy schedule, I will be sure to give your furry friend my full attention. **Safety, trust & environment** When with your animals, I will make sure to give them the best care possible, ensuring that I am attentive, loving, and supportive. I know how important mental and physical stimulation is for your furry friends’ well-being, so I will work to make them happy, safe, and comfortable. When in your home, I will treat it with respect and make sure it remains clean.

About: Hi! I’m Jillian, Im home from college and looking forward to taking care of your pet! I grew up around dogs, specifically large and working breeds. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, and I’m capable of dispensing medications, cleaning up messes, and reinforcing any training you’re implementing! I’m good at following directions and a quick learner, so feel free to throw anything my way! Im currently working part time, meaning I can pop in and check up on your animals whenever! I have always believed that an animals’ needs and preferences come before my own when I am watching them. Whether that means hanging out around the house or taking them on an adventure, I love to do whatever your animal loves to do. I have a lot of experience working with large breeds, escape prone dogs, and puppies, which makes me very vigilant and comfortable with all kinds of dogs! I will do anything to take care of your pup. In terms of cats, I’ve taken care of 10 different cats, all with different temperaments and schedules. Whether your kitty is shy or extremely playful, I love getting to know animals and working with their boundaries to suit their needs!

Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!

About: I have grown up with cats and currently have a 6 year old German Shepard named Jamie :) My girlfriend also has 2 cats that I love to hang out with and help take care of! I have a full time job outside of Rover, but am often at home during the day: able to do dog walks or drop ins for your pets. I have full day availability on Saturdays. Treating your pet like my own. On walks I’ll always make sure they’re on a leash, while staying alert to my surroundings, and check in for cues about tiredness/energy levels while making sure they get their activity in! At home will make sure they get all of the attention and care they need.

Caroline is such a dog lover and so enthusiastic and fun to talk to! She came over to play with our dog while we unloaded our moving truck and was super accommodating when things didn’t quite go according to plan. Our dog seemed to do great with her (I’m impressed she tired him out enough that he wanted to go inside of his own volition!) I, and Robin, look forward to seeing Caroline again!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was in middle school. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped puppy-sit dogs through the Canine Companions collegiate chapter at my university! I am also comfortable with any size pet, I’ve cared for puppies and kittens all the way up to Great Danes! I’m currently a student, but I have a lot of availability. My class load is light and I’m not on campus much so I have very flexible availability! I am good at following whatever instructions left for me relating to any of the pets’ needs. I have taken care of animals before for other as well as my own pets so I’ll make sure they’re treated well and get lots of love and care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Knollwood on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,185 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Knollwood. 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 Knollwood. 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.
