“This was my first time using this app because my family had canceled on me last minute to watch my boys and I’m glad I found Alyssa. She took care of my boys very well and had a great communication with me which was very important to me. Also sent me many pictures of my boys, and it made me feel very happy. Such a sweet individual! Definitely will book her again :)”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats throughout my life and have more than 30 years of experience caring for them. I currently care for several pets in my own home, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I take time to help each pet feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, a detailed Rover Card, and several photos after every visit. I prefer to meet before the first recurring or extended booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, confirm access instructions, and understand exactly what they need. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept visits that fit my availability. This allows me to arrive within the agreed time window and give each pet attentive care without rushing. Before the first booking, I prefer to meet you and your pet, review the care routine, and confirm access instructions. During each visit, I follow your directions closely, check doors and gates, refresh food and water, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I provide photos and a clear update after every visit.
“It was great to get pictures and an update after each visit. When I got home the litter boxes were both clean and the food and water dishes were both clean and filled. Will definitely use the service and Destiny again.”
About: Animals have always been my happy place. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve also helped family and friends by letting their dogs out, taking them on walks, and caring for them while they were away, including keeping a friend’s dog in my home for a week during vacations. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time Tuesday from 8:45 a.m.–12 p.m., Wednesday from 5–10 p.m., and every other Sunday from 12–4 p.m. I may occasionally work an additional 9 a.m.–12 p.m. shift during the week. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

“Erin was absolutely amazing. She was punctual and took the time to write daily updates on how he did with each visit that also included a pic, I looked forward to each one. She took amazing care of my Moose. I highly recommend Erin, she is truly the best.”
“Krista was great!! She came over exactly as scheduled to take our dogs out, feed them and give them some love while we were away for the day. She even came over before our booking to do a meet and greet which helped put our mind at ease leaving the dogs with someone new. They seemed to really love her and I was impressed with how knowledgeable and caring she was! We will absolutely use her again when the need arises ❤️❤️”

Life gets busy and owners need help, I believe all pets deserve to be taken care of by people who will love them like their owners do.

I was fortunate enough to help take care of them from infancy, and then taking on a lot of responsibilities in their old age as I got older. Accumulating skills to take care of cats at any age. Being present while my cats aged and experienced various health issues, I learned many skills that I can apply in this new venture of becoming an animal sitter. I able to give medicine in pill or shot form. I am able to prepare speciality meals for an animals specific needs. I am also capable of performing basic cat chores. My Family's Pets: Black Lab Mix and Cat (Feeding, Grooming, Handling) I am an individual who likes to spend time with animals whenever I can. My grandmother lives very close to me, so I often go over to help her with her animals. She has a black lab mix and an energy filled boy cat. I frequently take her dog for walks and bathroom breaks, as well as feeding them both when needed. When my grandmother first got her lab, I was the main person training her and teaching her commands at a basic level. Being a patient individual, I am able to spend time with animals teaching them the basic behavioral traits.

“Luz was an excellent care taker for our baby boy! She was very detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures! Her knowledge of caring for dogs definitely came in handy since our boy suffers from a bit of anxiety. She was able to asses when he was a little nervous and give his medication when needed. Our corgi can very hyper and insistent, so he needs someone with a calming and centered personality to bring him some peace and that's definitely what Luz brings to her caring service. He enjoyed her undivided attention and walks. We 100% would book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their hyper but sweet dog 🐶 ❤️. Thank you Luz!”

Kristen was wonderful! She went above and beyond the tasks we gave her. She stayed with our kitties and was so considerate when she noticed that a critter got into our garbage bags. She did not have to clean the mess up but she did anyway. Being a first-time Rover user, Kristen put our minds at ease when we were so stressed out this past weekend. We will definitely call her back again! Thank you so much Kristen ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Minooka is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 268 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Minooka. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
