About: I've been dog walking since I was very little around age 9, so for 15 years now. I've had 3 dogs in the past and lots of family members dogs I've looked after and cared for. Currently I help out with my neighboring dogs, walks, eat, potty time, etc playing catch. Dogs need to go outside, get some sunshine! Hi, I am very flexible with my current schedule. I am working part time while I’m in school at Harper college! My work schedule is m-f 7-9, and 3-6! I do have availability for overnight stays + dog walks in between or after hours. Weekend availability as well! I will keep your dog company, make sure he's completed every checklist/medicine/potty time/ outdoor time/ even nap time, and lots of pets, and a treat of course! I will ensure to follow your dog's diet, household rules. No exceptions, and with respect to household items.
“She was very kind and patient with us, even though we are not fluent in English. Everything went smoothly from the meet-and-greet to the key handover. Although it was only for two days, our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. We really appreciated her care!”
“This is my first time using Rover & Emily has made it a great experience! She was able to answer all of our questions before hand and when it came to taking care of our pup, she was very communicative throughout! I also appreciated all the pictures! It was clear my dog felt very comfortable with her! Will highly rebook again!”
“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”
“Sarah is the very best!!!!!! We loved having her watch our cats and will definitely be booking with her again. She has great cat energy and our two boys love her. We have a litter robot and automatic pet feeder, so we really just wanted someone to check in every couple of days while we were out of the country with no cell service for over a week on our honeymoon. Sarah noticed that one of our cats messed with the feeder machine and it looked like it wasn't dispensing food the right way. Sarah went out of her way to do extra visits to make sure that the cats had food. 10/10, she also helped water my patio garden plants while we were away”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“Melanie took wonderful care of Uno! She is reliable, dependable, responsible, and experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing Uno was in her care. She is trustworthy, caring, and kept me updated throughout. I highly recommend Melanie and will definitely book with her again!”
“Dar took great care of our cats while we were gone. She was easy to get in touch with, fast at responding to our messages, and reliable. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need pet care.”
“Scott has taken care of my cat twice now and does an excellent job. He feeds and spends time with Quinn and administers her insulin shots since she is diabetic. We are so thankful he takes such good care of our girl!”
About: Over the years growing up with pets, taking care of my family cats, walking my dog, changing the bedding for my sister's hamster or feeding her gecko his bugs, I've come to love them all! My compassion for all animals will show you how well I can care for them. I'm available most weekday mornings for now while I get my bearings as a sitter new to Rover. I could be available for visits as early as 8:30 am, and walks as early at 9:30. I have a lot of time in my mornings between 8:30 and noon that I want to use to do drop ins, walks, visits, anything that fits into a flexible morning schedule. You can trust that I will diligently listen and adhere to every rule and trick you give me to keep your sweet pet safe and happy!
“From our initial meeting to the final outcome, Liz was amazing! Our doggies, kitties, and home were all in excellent condition when we returned from our weekend getaway. Liz communicated promptly if any questions or issues came up and handled everything with care. She’s fantastic with both big dogs and our high-energy little one! Responsible, respectful, and just an all-around great person. We’ll definitely be recommending her and booking again in the future. 10/10 Thank you again, Liz!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Susanna. She was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care and affection towards my cats. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond to make sure my cats was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Susanna for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring person to look after their furry friends.”
“Gabrielle is incredible! She takes great care of our 10 year old lab, leaves details notes and is great with communication. She is definitely our go to dog sitter!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and adore them as well as many other species (except snakes). I am a certified virtual dog trainer and currently accepting longer house sits. Currently, I am studying dog naturopathy and help out at Bordertails Animal Rescue. I volunteered at The Humane Society of Southern Illinois for 5 years where I exercised animals and taught them tricks, so they were more likely to be adopted... then I got really into the show, "The Dog Whisperer" and “Pitbulls & Parolees”. I I can be highly active, yet remain calm and assertive when giving commands. I practice positive reinforcement and use a no-force approach. With exercise and attention being important, I provide both (in accordance to limits and individual needs), and I will follow the rules you have in place all while loving them to pieces. I am happy to cuddle, if they're into that, and respect their pace by reading the dogs body language. I find dog psychology fascinating and by the end of 2025 I’ll have competed my Dog Training Certification program through GoodPup and be offering virtual dog training! My one rule is that I do not accept in person visits with mature pets with a history of attacking a human previously. I tend to accept longer term house stays when working remotely, and nearby recurring walks/ drop-ins. Feel free to reach out and tell me more about your needs. Thanks for reading! I enjoy the presence of animals, and caring for them. I have a lot of experience exercising with dogs, and cuddling them whenever they are near and desire to be cuddled of course. I know most dogs love being petted, but some don't and I respect each dog as an individual. Being present with them and paying attention to their needs. For the time being, I am only offering services in your home, and some dog walking. In the future, I may add boarding as a service and you can always inquire.
“Charlotte took great care of my two cats while I was away. My cat who is really shy absolutely loved her! We got the cutest photos and written updates every day which made me feel so happy knowing they were in great hands. Charlotte is very kind and quick to respond! I definitely recommend!!”
“Tina left very detailed summaries of each of her visits with a ton of pictures. I felt confident my whole trip that my cats were in good hands. I came home to happy kitties and clean home. Would highly recommend Tina!”
About: I have a friendly 5 year old labradoodle. Our dog loves other dogs! I will treat your dog like he/she is our own- with tender loving care! I am home daily and my husband works from home a few days a week. I have a family who very much enjoys interacting with the dogs.. I can take your dog on 1-2 walks a day, plus backyard play multiple times day. We have a fenced in yard. And we have wonderful neighbors who also love and have dogs, next door and behind us. We like to hide treats in the backyard for the dogs to find!

Scott has taken care of our cat several times over the past year and does a fantastic job. He gives our diabetic cat insulin injections and feeds her. He takes time every visit to sit with our cat and pet her while she is without us. Scott sends pictures and updates every time he visits. We will books with him again in the future!
Did a great job cat-sitting PJ while we were away for about a month ! He warmed up to her pretty quickly and it looked like they had a great time together :D All her pictures and updates about him were great and told me everything I needed to know. My cat did eat part of a plant I had forgotten to move out of reach before leaving, entirely my fault, but Angelina handled the situation perfectly. He had to be taken to the vet and get some meds to take home. She made the whole process a lot less scary for me and for my cat, and was very professional and on top of things. She even had a vet recommendation for us, as we are new in town. Litterally could not have asked for a better sitter for my boy, and will definitely book her again.
I would absolutely recommend using Jenny as your sitter if you’re planning a trip. We had a “walk through” so she could see the apartment, meet Smoki and obtain the keys During the trip, she was very communicative. Always kept me in the loop for updates. Would send pictures Smoki too, which I appreciated Thank you so much, Jenny. I know she was in great hands with you!!
We had Nicole drop in on our 2 shorthair cats for around a week and a half while me and my (now) husband were getting married, and she was famtastic! She was receptive and quick to respond, and it felt like our babies were well taken care of when we returned. I would absolutely boom her again!
Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for throughout our trip. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We would gladly book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾 Thank you, Alexandra! 😊
Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mount Prospect on Rover is $26.22 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,943 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mount Prospect. 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 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.
