“Annie’s awesome! Very dependable and is great with our 2 cats. One of our cats gets a few medications and Annie is great at giving them to her. It’s never easy to give a cat a pill but she gets it done every time!”
“Danielle was absolutely phenomenal. She was communicative, accommodating, responsible, and respectful. We would absolutely reach out to her first for all our pet sitting needs.”
“Michelle is wonderful and always goes above and beyond! I never worry when she has watched our cats. When we had trouble with our flights, she was flexible and helped us a lot. I completely recommend her!”
“Roisin did daily drop-ins for my two cats for 3 days. She sent me multiple updates after each visit and sent several great photos. Even when one cat was hiding each time - she found her! This was my first time leaving them this long - they’re rescues so I was really nervous, but I felt so much better knowing they were in Roisin’s care, especially with all the pics/updates. She’s very trustworthy and followed their feeding schedule perfectly. I will absolutely be rebooking with Roisin. Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough how happy we are with Katie! I have three cats; one of which is undergoing cancer treatment requiring her to give him medication. I was so incredibly nervous about leaving him for the week but Katie was amazing. I even think he gained a little weight while we were gone and I was worried he would lose. I felt so confident in Katie’s knowledge of animals that she would be able to recognize if my cancer kitty was in need of medical attention. She left such detailed updates and photos which put me at such ease every day when I knew my boys were doing well. Katie went above and beyond, she brought in mail and took out our garbage. We got home late last night to three happy cats, which is typically not the case because they get stressed out when we go away. But they were happy to see us and calm and I believe that’s because they were so well taken care of by Katie. She will be our go to pet sitter from now on.”
“Was so happy that we found Faith! She took excellent care of our cat while we were away and went above and beyond! We would definitely use her again and recommend her services!”
“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”
About: Hello there! After recently saying goodbye to our beloved senior Chihuahua, Moe, our home feels far too quiet without any furry friends. Starting this new chapter in pet care is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to giving your pet a safe and fun place to stay. I am the primary sitter but will be assisted by my girlfriend Sam who lives with me. Your dog will benefit from a multi-person home with plenty of attention and companionship. We have no pets or children so your furry friend will be the king or queen of the house!

My goal is to make your pet feel completely at home while allowing you to relax during your travels! I am happy to provide as many updates you would like. My longtime girlfriend and I both work from home everyday! We have plenty of time to care for your pet. We can accommodate your pets schedule however needed. Our home is free roaming and pet friendly. Doggies are welcome in bed or on the couch if they desire. We also have a very large backyard and enjoy walks if that is your pets preference.
“Margaret was so good with my cat Jack, and she was super helpful watching him on short notice. Very communicative and cares about the pets and the owners peace of mind. Will request her assistance in the future. Thank you!”

“Lauren was wonderful! I was in a bind and needed someone last minute and she came through. My dog is very wary of strangers but warmed up to Lauren quickly. I am already booking her again and would definitely recommend.”
“Kat is AWESOME! If you need a dog person, definitely use Kat. She is the best! We recently relocated to the area and need a dog sitter. I interviewed several people and Kat was hands down the best!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since i was 12. Ive had experience with puppies as well as older dogs that need more help with things daily. I will always play or run around with dogs if i’m not petting them. I am currently working a part time job which leaves Thursday’s to Sunday’s open! Starting mid September I will be going to a school to get my CDL license, this will take up Monday-Friday mid day, but weekends and afternoons I will be available! I’ve learned how to deal with crating dogs if needed, as well as worrying about a dog jumping on me or barking. If an older dog ever needs any assistance and requires me to pick them up for help with stairs or a porch I’m willing to do so.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the majority of my life. I enjoy spending time with any animal, but I’m mainly a cat person. I’d love to care for your feline friends! Afternoons and evenings work best for me at this time, but I have a flexible schedule and I can work around your pet care needs. I am available to care for your animals at your home. I can give as much time and attention as needed, and I am committed to their happiness and comfort.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since childhood. I have an interest in all kinds of animals and I do not mind doing the dirty work to take care of them. I currently work 8-5 on weekdays, often ending at 4 or 4:30. I wake up early and can fit pet care into my morning before work and directly following work. In the morning, I can provide food and time outside/play time, and directly after work, I can provide a walk/exercise outside, and I can visit more times later in the evening as well. On weekends, I can come at any time of day, as many times as needed. I have a reliable form of transportation in the form of my own car, and I can very easily get from place to place. I live in the Frankfort suburbs, not too far from many places. In my own home, my pets stay in the house, and the dog is regularly taken outside for the bathroom, as well as getting walked once a day, sometimes twice. The cats do not go outside, and their litter gets cleaned once a day, but I can do more for your own pet. The dog is fed twice a day, and the cats are fed wet food once a day, with dry food available throughout the day.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Lenox
Danielle provided great care for our two cats, ensuring they were well fed and looked after, and helped them feel secure while we were away, including one who takes some time to get used to new people. She was prompt and reliable, and provided good updates on how our cats were doing each day. We hope to work with her again through Rover. She was great with our cats and their needs.

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 .

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 .
