“Caroline was so easy to communicate with throughout, helping set my mind at ease that my three cats were getting the care I had hoped for. She provided a lovely little summary and photos each day, allowing me to get a glimpse of how my furbabies were doing. She regularly administered medication to my one cat who has a digestive issues. She kept me updated when she vomited (an occasional issue) and cleaned it up. She followed my requests around opening a few windows during her visits, refilling a humidifier regularly for my one cat’s asthma or plugging in the AC the night before a hot day. I appreciated knowing my cats had such a reliable caring person to check in on them, play with them, give them the attention they wanted, and provide food and water. I would absolutely have Caroline care for my cats again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, friends, neighbors, anyone with a furry bestie! Can’t have pets yet but would treat them as my own. Honestly I would love to have a pet of my own, but would like to be a home owner with a yard before I get a big old best friend. I love to watch my friends pets for them, and am joining Rover as a walker/ sitter so I could selfishly shower them with pets and love :-) I make sure that they get a wonderful day getting some energy out. Will typically walk a dog for ~30 min unless requested otherwise. My friends typically leave specific instructions for me, as their pets require more care (feeding hours, medicine application, etc.) and I will always make sure to follow your instructions as you intend!
About: Grew up with small and large dogs like Spitz and Golden retriever. Currently live with 3 cats🐱 Always Pet sitting for friends over holidays in the past including domestic cats, ragdoll, poodles and doodles, Bernese mountain, Maltese, Cotons, Cavapoo, Bichon… Flexible in time and locations My work schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I also enjoy driving and don’t mind traveling a bit for pet sitting or drop-in visits. I’m usually available on weekends as well, so I can be flexible with different schedules and care needs. I always follow the owner’s house rules and care instructions, and try my best to keep each pet’s normal routine while their family is away. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs—whether that means extra walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them some space. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. 🐾
“Jordan was an absolutely amazing sitter! This was my first time leaving my cat behind as I went on vacation and I was definitely nervous about the process, but Jordan put me at ease right away. As a bonus, my cat was still afraid to meet new people, but Jordan was very patient with her and by the end of my (short) trip, she was comfortable enough with her to sit on her lap. I cannot say how much I appreciate Jordan’s time and how nice it was to come home to a cat that was relaxed and just happy to see me.”
“Miriam watched our cat while we were out of town for a week and provided excellent care. She is a great communicator and sent us pictures and notes so we were always in the loop about how kitty was doing. He was happy and content when we returned, so we know he had a good time too. We will definitely book Miriam again!”
“Alexis took great care of my dog, Milo!! She was very responsive and asked questions about Milo to make sure he was well taken care of. She was also very kind and took many photos of him, which I was so happy to receive while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Alexis! 😊”
About: I am a college student with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my friends & family often rely on me to care for their pets, including senior dogs. With a professional background leading youth programs and managing an office, I am incredibly dependable, safety focused, and organized. I also love hiking and would be thrilled to take your dogs on walks! Pet care is the highlight of my daily routine! As a college student, I have a very manageable schedule that allows me to easily step away for drop ins & walks. I already love spending my free time outdoors, so taking dogs along with me on walks or stopping to socialize with a cat sits perfectly into my everyday life. When I’m a guest in your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s normal routine while treating your space with respect! I am meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding and house rules. You can expect me to leave your home exactly as I found it, or cleaner! I am highly diligent about scooping litter boxes, wiping up wet food spills, and double checking that all doors and gates are locked before I leave.
“My trip was just over two weeks which can be a bit stressful for Monty but Anahita took great care of him, kept his long fur brushed, gave him some outdoor and play time. She also took good care of my indoor/outdoor plants thru the hot weather, as well as mail and trash. This is my second time hiring Anahita and she will be my first choice of sitter for future trips! Thanks Anahita!!”
About: Hi! I’m Ally, an animal lover with professional animal care experience ranging from pet boarding facilities to the Oakland Zoo. My approach is calm, attentive, patient, and individualized to each animal. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I became vegetarian as a child because of my love for animals, and that value continues to guide both my personal and professional life today. Professionally, I previously worked at a pet boarding facility where I handled client communication, maintained veterinary and care records, administered medications, monitored feeding and intake, and provided daily hands-on animal care. I also worked as a Zookeeper Aide at the Oakland Zoo, where I helped prepare specialized diets and support daily animal care operations in a fast-paced environment.

I do have my own cat so I need to take his own care into account when considering bookings. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and household rules while paying close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I understand that every animal has a different comfort level and personality, so I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their space and routine.
“Krista took great care of my cat (yes, rover can help cats out as well!) while I was away for the weekend. She was very attentive and made sure he was well fed and happy, and kept me up to date with photos and texts during her visits. It was also very easy to arrange key drop off/return with her. Overall great service, would definitely recommend Krista to anyone!”
“Blair took wonderful care of Bell, our sometimes anxious kitty! She met Bell before our trip to get to know her and understand her routine. Bell quickly bonded with Blair, and we could tell she was in great hands. We've definitely found Bell's go-to cat-sitter! Thanks, Blair, for taking such thoughtful care of Bell and for giving us peace of mind during our trip.”
“My dog Harvey loves Vicky! she’s dependable, always on time and does everything we ask of her when she comes in for drop in visits. We have already rebooked her. She’s great!”

“Shannon took great care of my puppy Pekoe. I didnt want to change her crating routine too fast too soon with returning to work. She gives great detailed updates and goes above and beyond with expectations.”
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
“This is my first time having Shannon do a drop in visit for my dog. There was a hiccup during our first appointment but I’ve decided to still go ahead and meet her. I’m glad I did! She went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. She also sends detailed report after her drop in visits. I highly recommend her.”
“Stephanie was awesome. She was easy to reach and communicative. She took great care of our sweet boy. LOVED the pics she sent. Next time we are in the area I will use her for sure!”
About: Hi, My name is Alex, it's nice to meet you. I have loved dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of them and the care they give back in return. Walking your dog will be as rewarding to them as it will be to me. I am a 33 year old male currently living in Mountain View. I am here to walk dogs and to do my best to care for them when I am on the job. Although I've attended a few dog training classes. Most my experience comes from being with dogs and research I've done along the way. I've been walking dogs for years now. I'll do my best to be observant, safe, and professional. My schedule is fairly open so I have the ability to be flexible with my customers.
“Anna was prompt with replying to messages. Clear communication and updates with photos were great. Anna took care of two cats for about a week and both of them were happy with her. My house and cats were well-taken care of!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Loyola
Xiao was the best pet sitter that we've worked with. She set up a phone call to discuss what our needs were just prior to the weekend that we asked her to pet sit. This was very reassuring as she was able to meet our cat and ask any clarifying questions. It's clear that she had significant experience with many types of cats and she gave us great advice for different parts of the pet sitting experience, including making sure that we had set up our video in case of any health issues. Her daily updates were extremely thorough, making sure to keep us up to date on our cat's health, her litter behavior and tons of photos. All of this allowed us to feel extremely reassured during our vacation that our cat would be taken care of extremely well and allowed us to feel comfortable making sure that our pet was safe and happy. As an extra bonus, she was also able to keep track of some Amazon packages that made it to our door while we were out of town and she safely put them indoors. We would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.
As good as usual! Always like Mireya’s story. It’s been part of my trip every time waiting for her notes. Recently my house has ant problem. Mireya was also very nice rinsing the cat food bowl. Before she left the house, my cat was trying to poop on the bed. Thanks god Mireya stopped my cat from doing that. Can’t thank her more!
Caroline was great! She came every day as scheduled, gave the one cat his 2 medicines, and spoiled both my kitties with treats and playtime. They were happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Even the plants looked better than when I left them. I'll call on Caroline again!
I’ve never used Rover or had a pet sitter and am so grateful to connect with Blair! She helped me feel totally comfortable with having her come check on Rocky when I was away visiting my mom after his major move out to California from Texas. Now I know I can go places and someone can check on Rocky and also bring him some play time which is a huge relief. He loves to play so this is great and I think the extra treats helped him feel even better adjusting to life here. I have the automatic feeder and litter but still loved having Blair check on Rocky and send photos. Can’t wait to have her come again for my trip next week! She made such good friends with him quickly which is surprising as he can be shy and cranky lol
Lisa took great care of my two cats! One of them is very shy and the other is super playful, but Lisa made sure both felt comfortable and gave my active cat plenty of fun playtime. This isn't the first time I've hired Lisa, but it was her first time caring for both cats together, and as always, she did a fantastic job. Highly recommend her!
Barbara is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond. She took excellent care of my cat, spent extra time with her, and kept me updated while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring and reliable hands. I couldn’t appreciate Barbara more and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter!
Miriam was amazing! My 2 cats are typically very shy and do not engage with the sitter but they came out for her. Marshmellow, my ragdoll, came to her when she came for the meet & greet visit. My kitties were happy and well cared for during the approximately 2 weeks we were away. I was very happy with her care of my large cats and her professionalism. I would happily rebook her again for my next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Loyola on Rover is $24.98 per visit (as of September 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.
