“We couldn't be happier with our choice of Linsey as our cat sitter! She is responsible, professional, and incredibly caring, and we know our kitties were in great hands with her. Our shy cat, Pine, hid inside the house after Linsey's first visit, which understandably concerned her. She helped us locate him and make sure that he wasn’t too stressed out. We can’t imagine anyone else handling it with such dedication and care. Linsey truly loves and cares for animals! Our more adventurous cat, Plum, needed medicine, which Linsey administered. Plum quickly became friends with her, and Pine seemed more relaxed later on too. We will definitely book with Linsey again and highly recommend her to others!”
“After a few communication bumps, Hannah was spot on to what we wanted and expected out of her one hour visits. We look forward to building a positive relationship with her as she does with our family.”
About: I have cared for cats most of my life! I grew up in the country and had about 8 outdoor cats that I cared for growing up. Fast forward to today and my home has 2 wonderful cats that I care for! Both are special needs. PopTart has cerebellar hypoplasia and Lady comes from a former abusive home. I am very well versed in taking on any complex situations that may arise due to my experience with my special needs cats. I have loved cats for my whole life. Many cats I have met left a lasting impression on me. I remember all of their names. PopTart, Lady, Kellogg, Waffles, Buttercup, Lucy, Tigger, and the list goes on. I hope to add your cat to the list of cats that have changed my life! I work from home currently so I will be home 24/7. I am almost always able to pause what I am doing and immediately jump to action. I am a homebody so I will be home to care for your cat almost constantly! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is quite spacious. Both bedrooms are carpeted! I have two cats. Poptart and Lady. Both are as friendly as can be and were instant companions. Neither have ever shown any signs of aggression. Lady actually has taken on a caretaker role for PopTart and I am sure she would be delighted to care for more. You will be given the option during booking for your cat to stay in my second bedroom or if you would like to allow them to freeroam at night. The second bedroom is my current cats bedroom and it is decked out for your cats comfort. Multiple large cat beds, a couch to sleep on, multiple toys, and I even have a TV set up to play bird videos for your cats playtime! I obviously will be keeping the cats separate at night when I cannot monitor them. If you would prefer your cat to freeroam at night then I will put them in their bedroom at night as usual. If you would prefer your cat to stay in my guest cat room then I will allow the cats to freeroam and close the bedroom door. Your cat will be a constant priority.
About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of experience providing attentive care and creating safe, positive environments. I love staying active, so whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure owners stay updated for peace of mind! I am currently home for the summer and work part time every once in a while so am pretty free for over night stays, drop ins or walks. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.
“We will definitely book with Jasmine again! She was super communicative, thorough, and flexible. We appreciated the pictures and detailed notes. Our shy cat warmed up quickly to her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had many years of dog training would love to spend time helping with your furbabies. I am retired and have the time to spend with yours I have afternoons available Tuesday through Friday. If you need your dog walked or just someone to play with them I would be available to help. I believe in giving lots of positive reinforcement to my furbabies. I teach them good manners and make them feel loved and safe with me.
“Thomas did an incredible job watching my mischievous kittens. He took their shenanigans in stride like a pro while I was out of town. I could rest assured that they were fed entertained and cared for. I would definitely consider Thomas in the future.”
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter who made sure all of our kids got plenty of love and attention! The dogs loved going out on walks with her and both cats got plenty of affection. We would hire her again in a heartbeat with how much she cares!”
About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.
“Michelle was great with our pup, Duke! Duke can be a handful and was recovering from surgery while Michelle was here. We thought he might be confused and anxious while we were out. But he took to Michelle right away and was responding to commands before we even walked out the door. Michelle sent us pictures of him calm and snoozing while we were out too. Michelle was on time, personable, and friendly. We plan to book again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!”
“Lindsey was nothing short of amazing when checking in on my cat while I was travelling!! Even when I couldn't immediately communicate she was super responsive, sweet and kept me updated which was super important to me when being so far away, with adorable photos as a bonus!! Thank you again for treating Sunny like one of your own! ?”

Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our two cats, Rubble and Skye. She went above and beyond letting us know how they both were doing at every visit. Even our shy and timid cat was out and about with her after the first visit. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet care.

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 Mahomet. On Rover:

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.
