“This was my first time getting help from someone on Rover and it was fabulous. Margaret took such good care of our cats and sent regular reports on how things went. Even our cat who is afraid of most people came out when she stopped in—so she clearly has a way with animals! I will definitely rely on Margaret for future trips!”

“Stephanie helped me out when I had to be out of time for a wedding. She was immediately so attentive to what needed to be done to care for my 3 kitties and always sent pictures, with little notes on how everyone was doing. She provided me with much peace of mind while I was out of town and will absolutely hire her again if I need another pet sitter.”

About: As someone who’s loved my cats and dogs as part of my family, I will go above and beyond to take great care of your pet! My years of volunteering at an animal shelter have given me experience with cats and dogs of all ages with various temperaments and medical needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or checking in on your cat at home, I’ll treat your pets with the love and care I’ve given to my own over the years. No matter what service you’re looking for, I’d love to send photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m choosing to offer pet sitting as a source of income, but it’s also something I genuinely love doing. I travel fairly often, so having a dog of my own isn’t the right fit for me right now. Spending time with other people’s dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll give yours the affection, attention, and care they deserve.❤️ My schedule is flexible, so I can make time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pet company. I do travel occasionally, but I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the attention they need. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, and care. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have always been a cat lover ever since I was little. I have 7+ years of experience personally taking care of cats of all breeds, personalities, and ages. I previously volunteered at the Bolingbrook Animal Shelter, where I provided personalized care and followed the individual routines of cats and kittens. I respect every cat’s boundaries, personality, and comfort level while giving them plenty of love and attention. I can follow your pet’s specific routine, feeding schedule, medications, and care instructions. I also have a pet-friendly space where your furry baby can relax, feel safe, and get comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally in my routine, and I enjoy making time for animals. I am available of Fridays, Saturday and Sunday for pet sitting and my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, playtime, feeding and attention based of each cats needs. I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. Since I provide care in my home, I focus on creating a safe clean, and comfortable environment where you cat can feel at home. I thoroughly sanitize food, water bowls, and litter boxes between stays and follow feeding, treat, medication, and care instructions that you provide. I don't have pets of my own so your cat won't have to adjust to other animals or compete for attention. Your cat will be welcome to explore the house and if they prefer privacy, I can provide a separate, comfortable space for them to relax. Safety is my top priority. Doors and windows will remain securely closed and all windows have screens. I'll also need an emergency veterinarians contact information on hand in case it is ever needed. I'll provide toys and plenty of attention while respecting your cats' personality and boundaries. I will also share pictures and moments of their stay with you while you are away. I'm happy to maintain their usual routine and provide the food and treats you provide so that they can stick to what they're already comfortable with. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.

About: My experience with pets has been incredibly rewarding. I've taken care of various animals, each with its own personality and needs, which has helped me develop patience and empathy. I always strive to create a safe and loving environment, ensuring that pets feel happy and comfortable when their owners are away. I am available Monday through Sunday! I occasionally babysit, otherwise I am usually free to watch / walk / check up / take care of your pet(s)! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I ensure that the space is secure and free from hazards, provide consistent and loving care, and maintain open communication with pet owners to build trust. This way, pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in any setting.

About: I have a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of Illinois. My education helped build a foundation and understanding of animal welfare, behavior, nutrition, and safe animal handling. I have over two years of professional experience training dogs in basic on-leash obedience, including heel, sit, stay, place, recall, and other foundational commands. I was trained by master trainer Joel Slaven, who has trained animals for movies, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and worked extensively alongside Jack Hanna. In addition to dog training, I have worked as a Kennel Technician, where I helped care for up to 50 dogs at a time. My responsibilities included feeding, administering oral and subcutaneous medications, and providing daily exercise through walks and free running in a large pasture. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience working at a dog daycare, where I supervised playgroups of 25 or more dogs and learned how to manage different personalities and energy levels in a group setting. Outside of my professional experience, I own a two-year-old English Bulldog. Her stubborn personality and high energy have taught me a great deal about patience, consistency, and adapting my approach to each individual dog. Overall, my experience has strengthened my passion for working with dogs and my commitment to providing them with patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dog walks/or home visits in the early morning, throughout the day and into the evening. I am happy to work around you and your pets schedule to provide dependable great care. While I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I will treat each animal as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, attention, and dependable care while following their normal routines.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lemont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lemont is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 5,789 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lemont. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lemont. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
