About: I am a teacher off for the summer and am available to help other families with their pet care needs. My two best friends are rescue pups that bring me great joy. I also volunteer to help with cat care at our local animal shelter. I know how hard it is to leave your pets, so you can rest assured I will take the utmost care when in charge of your beloved pets. I will treat them as my own! I have experience with a variety of household pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. Animals are truly special creatures that deserve our utmost respect and care and it is my privilege to take care of yours. I am a teacher off for the summer and my schedule is very flexible to help you with your animals. Early morning, afternoon, or at night, I’m available! I do not do care out of my home. I can come to you but cannot do overnights. I will take detailed notes on your instructions and follow through on each step. I want your animals to feel as comfortable as possible while you are gone. For dog walking, I am very experienced at handling even the most energetic dog!
“This was my first time using the Rover service, snd I could not be happier! Annie too excellent care of my two cats and everything was in order when I returned home. My female is shy, but came out to greet Annie. I would highly recommend Rover and Annie if you are looking for a reliable person to provide TLC to your fur baby/babies!”
“Danielle was amazing - she took the time to get to know our dogs' personalities, and they loved spending time with her. The communication was wonderful and she sent very thorough reports, and the cutest pictures. We'll absolutely use Danielle again!”
“Great sitters! They did exactly what was asked and were great about sending pictures and communicating. Friendly and down to earth. So easy to work with! We’ll be using them again.”
About: I have been a dog mom (owner) for 12 years. I have also fostered 6+ dogs over the years. While I am comfortable watching all dogs, I have additional experience with senior dogs, special-need dogs, dogs on medications, and doggie anxiety. I also dog sat for many dogs over the years as well. I'm currently only working freelance so I have tons of time to take your dog on walks and give them extra attention. I wake up around 6-7 and make sure they get as long of a walk as they need, plus play time, and lots of love and attention. I will treat your dog like my own. I will respect, however wherever your dog sleeps. In their bed, with me, in a crate. My goal is to keep your dog on the schedule and routine they are used so they feel safe, happy, and loved in your home while you are away.
About: Dedicated pet caregiver since childhood, growing up on a farm which provided me with extensive, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I am highly proficient and deeply comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from active puppies to senior dogs needing special attention. Friends and family have trusted me completely with their pets for years. My approach is rooted in reliability, positive reinforcement, and specialized attention, ensuring every dog in my care receives a safe, happy, and structured stay tailored to their individual needs. I am currently working part-time, which allows me to offer consistent and focused attention to my pet guests.I am generally available for walks and drop-ins after 2:00 PM. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, exercise, and cuddle with your pups! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure reliable, timely care that adheres perfectly to your pet's routine. I care for every pet in my home with the same dedication and high standards I use for my own animals. I am highly experienced in recognizing pet distress, administering medications, and following complex routines, skills honed both on the farm and in my own home. I ensure every stay is safe, structured, and stress-free, treating your pet as a valued member of my temporary family.
“Katharine was great. She looked after our elderly pup Karma. She stopped in and spent some time with her, made sure she was fed/had water, used the restroom and was cozy inside.”
About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.
About: I’ve always had dogs and other pets growing up so I obviously love them!! But I have also taken care of my sisters bad puppy multiple times so I know how to deal with dogs with sass 😂 I am a current student athlete at Roosevelt university downtown Chicago, but I am free during most weekdays after 2pm. In the summer I will be available basically whenever! I am living at my dorm so I would go to your house but I would just try to make the dog feel comfortable with me, provide them with the right care and love!!
“Julia was amazing! I needed someone sort of last minute and she was out of town but made sure to make it back and to our house for a meet and greet. She came and took care of everything, sent pics and an update which eased any worry about being gone long. Definitely will use Julia in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was 14, having pets of my own right now it being a golden retriever. I've been relied on to walk/bathe/ groom my friends and family's pets. I have nothing going on besides taking care of my pup, so I definitely have time to take care of yours! Im available Monday through Thursday, 11am - 9pm unless Im pet sitting full day. I will take your pet out whenever needed, let them get used to me first before any drastic things happen like a bath. Am able to help train and get your dog in a routine.
About: I love all kinds of dogs. I’ve had multiple dogs from little to small since I was little and know the responsibility of caring for your furry fam! My friends and family always call me first if they need someone to take care of their pet because they know I’m the girl for the job! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time throughout the week. Mondays, Tuesday’s and Wednesdays are my free days. Mostly any time of the day. I’m very energetic and would love to play/ walk your dog! I believe I’m very good at knowing what a dog needs and wants. At home my pets are loved and very well taken care of. Looking forward to do the same for yours!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in New Lenox on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,922 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Lenox. 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.
