“Rachel was just great!! She followed all of our pet care requests with no issue and was very responsive! She sent pictures of our cats and gave a reassuring update that they are doing well!! We will totally book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.
“Vanessa was the perfect fit for my two kittens! This was my first time leaving them alone and I’m thankful that they had such a good time with Vanessa! Thank you so much!”
“I’m very particular about who takes care of my girls. Bradlei was so sweet to them and left them a little gift bag for their first visit! Will definitely have her again!”
“Margaret was so good with my cat Jack, and she was super helpful watching him on short notice. Very communicative and cares about the pets and the owners peace of mind. Will request her assistance in the future. Thank you!”
“Caraline was great with our two cats! She was very responsive the whole time and provided great updates and pictures! She also saw that our cats have very different personalities and she tailored her care for both of them. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Annie did such a great job, and it brought us a lot of peace of mind to know someone as thoughtful and as caring as her was checking in on our little pooch. Thank you so much!”
“Kisha was very attentive and caring for my teenage cat and actively updated me while I was out which was appreciated! She was kind enough to care for my cat on very short notice and was very easy to work with! My cat is usually very jumpy around people, but upon meeting Kisha he was instantly drawn to her. She also gave great advice when I asked about recommendations to make him more comfortable.”
“Heather was awesome to work with. She visited my pets twice weekly during a holiday week. Each visit she sent detailed updates with lots of pics which helped me feel more at ease about being away. She was professional and very good about communicating with me if she had a question. Most important she followed my detailed instructions. I highly recommend Heather. We’re looking forward to working with her again. Thanks Heather!”
“Katharine was a blessing! She took great care of our two dogs Abby and Zuma (a beagle and a pit mix). We came home from our trip to two happy and loved dogs. We enjoyed seeing the pictures she sent every visit 💗 Will definitely request Katharine again in the future!”
“Christopher was AMAZING!! He was so thoughtful, caring and thorough with our pets! I felt so comfortable leaving my girls in his care! And his communication was top notch! Highly recommend him!”
“We needed a last minute sitter to come visit our mini dachshunds while we were on vacation and Caroline was great! She made all our check in’s and included pictures every time. Thank you Caroline for looking over our pups while we were away !”
“Sylvie was incredible from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make things easy and seamless for us, and our pets absolutely loved her!! We needed an at home visit and she was able to accommodate our schedule and extensive needs for 2 dogs and a cat. I would recommend Sylvie to anyone!! She's the best out there.”
“Claire was great at communicating during our meet and greet and in our texts leading up to her visit. From her photos while she cat sit for my two cats, they were well fed and got plenty of play. Everything was in great order when I came home, and Claire is someone I will definitely try to use again.”
“Great sitters! They did exactly what was asked and were great about sending pictures and communicating. Friendly and down to earth. So easy to work with! We’ll be using them again.”
About: I have always been an animal lover my whole life. I currently have a dog named Snowball who is 16 years old, he has been my best friend growing up. Taking care of him has taught me many skills such as bathing,walking, and medicine administration. I recently got a cat named Peanut! He is a sweetheart and gets along with Snowball :) I am looking forward to helping families out and meeting some new pet friends! I am currently home for summer! I recently graduated from Illinois State University and will be heading to graduate school in Romeoville in August. I am looking for jobs throughout the summer! I will treat your pet like my own! I am very energetic, responsible, and flexible. I will ensure that your pet and their needs are properly taken care of. I can easily adapt to different needs and situations when sitting. I am looking forward to making you and your pet happy!
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lockport on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
