“Chantelle was great. She made the effort to come and meet our dogs ahead of time so they would be comfortable with each other. She took the time to actually play with them for a while when she visited them as well as feeding and making sure their physical needs were being met! We were actually able to relax and know that our ‘babies’ were happy! We would highly recommend her!”
“Madelyn was great with our 2 kitties. We came back from our trip to very happy and peppy cats. She was reliable, arrived when expected, and provide very cute photos from each visit. She cleaned the bowls which was very nice. This was our first time booking with Madelyn and will be sure to book with her again in the future.”
“Ann did an awesome job with my kitty Maisie! She clearly understood how to interact with cats and was very personable and kind during our meet and greet. She was responsive to all message and the updates and photos she provided during her visits were great! I will definitely look to book again in the future.”
“Jennifer is truly the best! Helped me out in a jam . She always takes such good care of my sweet old puppy. She’s gives her lots of love and treats :) I know my dog is in excellent hands when Jennifer is with her. Thank you!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter for our three elderly dogs, and thank goodness we found Ella! She came over before the visit to meet us and the dogs who loved her immediately. She gave them their medicine and tons of love. She also took the cutest pictures. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Once again, Amy took excellent care of my dog-child. She met all requested times (early, midday, and late evening), and she gave wonderful updates while I was away. I’ll definitely rebook with Amy!”
“Cynthia did an awesome job watching our three dogs. Communication was great, she sent lots of pictures and did exactly what we asked her to do. I highly recommend Cynthia if you need someone to watch your pups! We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I've been around animals all my life and have considerable experience working with senior dogs and cats. I treat others' pets as if they are my own. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available pretty much any day of the week, especially for dog-walking and drop-in visits. I will happily walk your dog around the neighborhood and play with them outside. Regarding cat care, I will refill their food/water, clean their litter box, and play with them. I am willing to learn from you as their owner and will follow any instructions given.
About: Hi! I’m Emma! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd mix and a Pit Bull mix, so I have experience with big and small, high-energy dogs and understand the attention and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and they have a special place in my heart. Whether your pup is young and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and would be thrilled to spend time with yours! I’m a full time touring musician, but I have multiple months in the year where I’m at home and don’t have much to do. I’m almost always available on weekdays, and sometimes weekends. I’m also usually available anytime between 8am-8pm I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. ☺️ I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I keep a clean environment, doublecheck doors and gates, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾
“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan is amazing and took such great care of my pup! She clearly loves animals and it’s refreshing to find someone on this app that is trustworthy and who cares about animals like they are her own. Definitely recommend her for peace of mind! :)”
“We've booked with MacKenzie a few times. She is very informative and attentive. She brought our trash and recycling bins down and back up without us asking! I highly recommend MacKenzie if you are looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“Sharon did a great hob with my three dogs! She sent regular updates with videos, and even brought in some packages that were at the door. I highly recommend her.”
“Dorisa took care of my two cats over the weekend. One of them is 16 years old with hyperthyroidism and requires twice a day medication 12 hours apart. The other is a young, very shy and skittish 6-year-old that is afraid of everyone and everything! And yet, Dorisa somehow managed to win her over completely ?. Dorisa is the best pet sitter I have ever had, hands down! At the meet and greet, she asked all the pertinent questions about the pets, their routine and what was needed not only for the pets but also things like if the mail needed to be picked up or the plants watered. She has a great personality that immediately puts one's mind at ease about leaving the fur babies in her care. She is everything anyone could ever want in a pet sitter. She is punctual, extremely thorough, spends a lot of one-on-one time with the pets in addition to taking care of all the mandatory routine tasks like medicating, feeding, watering, and scooping litter boxes. And her reports after each visit are so wonderful?. They are very detailed, professional and yet humorous and personally engaging at the same time (and include several photos of the pets). It's so obvious she really loves animals and enjoys being with them and giving them the best possible loving care. There is no doubt at all that I will be wanting her to take care of my kitties in the future.”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”
“Natalie was highly recommended when our usual Rover was out of town and I am so grateful for the recommendation! She was a perfect fit our ten year old grumpy, but so loved cat Frederick!! On time, updated photos and kept him on his schedule!! 😊”
“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”
About: Hey! My name is Molly and I have grown up with a lot of pets and cared for others for years. I love animals and have a lot of experience dealing with them and I am especially good with dogs! I also clean on the side so I typically offer cleaning along with drop in visits or house sitting. I have the best availability for drop in visits but can also care for small dogs in my home. I have side work that I do but I really enjoy taking care of pets along side that other work! I care for your pets as if they’re my own! I take very good care of my pets and keep a close eye on what they do to make sure I don’t see any signs of medical issues. If there are behavioral issues I deal with them with a lot of positive reinforcement and firmness but never harshness! I do the same with my clients pets.

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 Normal. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
