“Carly: What can we say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Three days of check ins,with our fur baby, and she was wonderful, well fed, and sassy as ever. You put in the extra effort and searched her out, and I know how hard it is to find a kitten. You found her and sent us pictures every day. You made us feel so much better, having to leave her for the first time. Thanks for bringing in our mail and even the package, you even fixed Maggie's swing. Truly the best ever!”
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible
“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“During out initial meeting, Ashley was professional and easy to talk to. She took notes on each of the dogs. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving our pets in her care. Day of visit, she was on-time, spent time with the dogs to be sure they tinkled and pooped. Her notes were detailed. I will use her again, no doubt!”
“We had a great experience with Meaghan S. It was a last minute booking. She was prompt, followed what we asked of her and Luna seemed to enjoy her time with her. Will definitely be having Meghan S. back again.”
“Rachel was amazing. She stayed with our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She gave them lots of attention and care and also sent us lots of updates and pictures - which is greatly appreciated! She is quick to respond to questions and chats. We will absolutely rebook in the future. Thank you Rachel!”
“Dawn was so caring and attentive to my cat's needs. He has epilepsy and requires meds twice a day. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving him, but Dawn really took care of him and came twice a day to give him his meds and spend time with him. She also wrote whenever he used the litter box, drank water, and ate food. I definitely recommend her to anyone who has cats with medication needs.”
“Beth is wonderful! She’s flexible with her schedule and does an excellent job caring for your fuzzy babies! I greatly appreciate her and the care she provides for my pups!”
“Velvet was great looking after our cat. Responsive and came with specific questions about how to look after him. She also went above and beyond when we had some surprise flooding in our basement. Will book again”
“Maria was great! She was an excellent communicator and always reached out for anything amiss. She gave our pups lots of love and really went above and beyond! Would highly recommend her!”
“Dana did a great job with our girls who warmed up to her really quickly. We appreciated her sending us photos and giving us updates how they were doing. Thank you again Dana!”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Rachel was wonderful- she went over to my office last minute (hours before) without meeting my pup previously and you can tell he had the BEST time!! They sent videos, cute pictures, and were running around with him. Could not ask for more. Would 100000% recommend and will be reaching out in the future. Thank you!!”
“Olivia was great with our dog. I could tell he was well take care of while we were away. We received a notification at the beginning and end of each visit and a picture of the fun he had. Will definitely be using Olivia again!”
About: **For the house sitting part of the profile I cannot sleepover at the clients house due to health reasons but I can take the dog(s) out for breaks at anytime.** We have a rescue dog, who was untrained and very high anxiety when we rescued him. Now, he is a fun loving, good listening boy! I probably baby him too much, so if you are looking for someone to be uber strict, that's probably not us. We just want to give love when you're not able to. I am in school part time and I am only looking to take care of a few dogs, so I can work the schedules that they need. I have two dogs that I feed, bathe and train. I like to play with them and I can tell when she's about to get the "zoomies'" , so I play extra hard with her then. Of course I like to snuggle and pet any puppy!
“Cat went over and beyond expectations. She took the time to get to know our cat and brought treats and toys to make the visits more fun. She was awesome, always keeping us informed on everything going on with our pet and home!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Lombard is $21

I would highly recommend Jamie! She recently completed a drop in visit for our dog and cat- during the meet and greet my dog was completely OBSESSED with her and based on the updates I received, his love for Jamie was still strong! Jamie followed instructions and left our home in excellent condition. I would gladly use her services again ☺️
Rachel did an amazing job with checking in on my 2 cats and providing detailed updates! She was able to quickly gain the trust of one of my cats that’s extremely shy to the point she was letting Rachel pet her. Rachel was also flexible with the meeting times and check ins.
Jennevy was really amazing with our cat MuShu, He is only affectionate with his parents, and will tolerate others, and warmed up to her gentle approach very quickly. She took all of my suggestions and advice and directions on how to make our 16 year old grumpy baby comfortable, and was very kind and thoughtful and responsive to every single thing I said (and it was a LOT :) She checked in with photos and even fed our outdoor squirrel friends nuts when I saw on the cameras they were at our back door waiting for us, but we were gone! Her and MuShu would watch the squirrels just like we do. It was great to work with Jennevy she was kind, thoughtful and trustworthy and I would definitely like to have her back again.

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.
