“Amber is super accommodating and flexible with all the odd requests that I have used her services for! She’s exceptional at listening to direction and helping with training!”
“Katrina did a great job with our kitty! Got him his meds every day and spent time petting or playing with him - he’s very sociable and always wants to be with people. Very glad we found Katrina!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the designated pet sitter for all my family and friends since I was 10. Over the years, I’ve gained very diverse experiences and skills in pet care, including: • Caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Aiding dogs with mobility issues • Caring for blind and/or deaf dogs • Administering medications, including insulin • Managing conflict between dogs • Basic grooming of all coat types • Basic training techniques, as learned through a service dog training program I’m free whenever your pets need me, weekends and weekdays. I only have one online class this summer, so I can give your pets all the attention they need! Let me know any specific care preferences such as crating, separating certain pets, preferred route for walks, cleaning instructions, etc. I only use positive reinforcement and refuse to use any tool that can harm the dog(s), including prong collars.
“Renae is great with our pup! She is very responsive communication-wise and flexible. We appreciate the updates and the extra care she gives to our very excitable pup who can be a challenge! We will definitely use her in the future and recommend her for others.”
“Gabrielle was great! She was available for me last minute. She kept me updated about the dogs and sent me photos that gave me a reassurance that they were in good hands! Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kate & Chris taking care of Mika for three days. They were incredibly friendly, caring and patient with our dog which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate the love and attention they showed and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them would absolutely book drop-in visits with Kate & Chris again”
“If u want to be confident that your dog is being cared for while u r away Martina is the best. I can personally vouch for the time and care she takes to make sure your beloved animal is happy, safe and comfortable while u r away from them. We hate to leave our pets. And with the illness that was going around we didn't want to take our doggy to a kennel. Knowing she was at home and in her own space was the most important thing to us. Thank you Martina. I hope u can be proud of the wonderful job you do for us.”
“Peggy did a wonderful job doing drop ins this past weekend to check in on my girls. She made sure they were fed, had water, and that they were okay. She also left them treats even though they were shy. I felt confident while I was on my business trip that my girls were well taken care of. I will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“They were willing to work with a very last-minute request and went right over to take care of our boys. Having no familiarity with the dogs, they still worked with their quirks and weren't afraid to ask questions when it was needed. Like how to get Rory back inside when he really wanted to keep playing. We are very grateful!”
“We will be booking Jaclyn again! Jaclyn took great care of our super social cat while we were out of town. We really appreciated her going above and beyond to play with him and check on his litter. Great sitter who clearly loves kitties. Thanks, Jaclyn!”
About: Not only have I had pets my entire life, but I've helped care for friend's and family's pets, too. I worked in a doggie daycare for a bit, so I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I'm currently on summer break from teaching, so I'm home with my kiddos all day and am available to help care for your fur babies. I'm comfortable letting animals out into fenced yards or on leash as needed for potty breaks. I can help cleanup accidents inside or scoop liter during visits. I'm happy to help supervise playtime, feedings, or general activity during visits. I'm comfortable crating dogs when leaving, if needed. Whatever instructions you provide, I can execute and ensure your pet is well cared for!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Normal is $18
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Normal
Georgia is such a sweet human being! She took the best care of our 3 cats for us while we were gone on vacation. She was available last minute when we needed her, had no problems coming by for a meet and greet before us leaving and sent us daily updates/pictures of our boys. We will absolutely be booking her for all our of our future pet sitter needs and would hands down recommend her to anyone.
Jill was prompt, attentive and patient with our fur babies! I loved that she kept us posted on how they were doing our entire time away. She is passionate about caring for our babies and definitely is an animal lover. Our fur babies gave her 5 stars for the care and attention she devoted to them. We will definitely be contacting her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you Jill, this is definitely your calling!
Jaclyn was fantastic. She provided detailed updates and photos that reassured us our kitties were in good hands. She gave our needy boy extra attention and snuggle time. She even earned the trust of our shy girl. We will definitely be using Jaclyn again in the future.
My first time leaving my kitten with someone other than family had me really nervous but Katrina made it really easy, even with the last minute scheduling. She sent me lots of pictures and updated me on how much he ate. I would definitely come back to her in the future
Amanda was so kind and thorough with the meet and greet along with the actual care for my 2 cats. I am always looking for someone who not only feeds my cats, but plays with them and gives them love too. Everything was exactly the way I asked and she sent pictures when she stopped in which I appreciate very much.
Bianca was so sweet and professional with our baby kitty, Lucy. This was the first time we had used Bianca and were so pleased. She sent a report card every day and pictures or videos which gave us such peace of mind and really became the highlight of our days. Bianca is loving yet professional and we already plan to use her again on our next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Normal on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 100% 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.
