About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.

“Paola took such wonderful care of our babies while we were away for the weekend! She went above and beyond! We truly appreciated her taking the time to leave such detailed notes and sharing multiple pictures of our babies eating and playing throughout the time that we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her, especially to anyone who is nervous about hiring a cat sitter for the first time. We really didn’t know what to expect, but Paola put us at ease from the moment she arrived and treated our babies as if they were her own. We can’t thank you enough, Paola!!”

“Yulissa took great care of our kiddies. All cat areas were clean when we came home, and the bowls were filled. Yulissa also communicated very well. One of our cats needs medicine, and is not easy to deal with. Yulissa always let us know how it went. She clearly established a good relationship with the cat that needed medicine, because she let Yulissa brush her 😊. Overall, we really recommend Yulissa..”

About: I worked at a dog daycare/boarding place at the Wag Hotels Schiller Park location for 2 1/2 years: feeding, cleaning their rooms, giving medications and more! I have great experience with both cats and all types of dogs and have always enjoyed my time spent with the animals! :) I also have my own animals at home that I take care of— both a dog and a cat. I am taking classes during the week and my schedule will be more packed during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best for me to work with! Unfortunately I cannot house pets during the day or overnight as I am in school, but I am available for drop in visits, dog-walking, and possibly future pet sitting opportunities!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m available most weekdays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and their owner’s needs. I understand how important is for cats and dogs, so I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your cat and pups needs before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide gentle, attentive care by following your instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, keeping their environment clean, and making sure they have fresh food and water. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.

About: I work for an animal shelter so I have TONS of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I have been pet-sitting independently for over 10 years and have had over 70 clients during that time. My love of animals led me to pursue a bachelors degree in animal science and get a job working at an animal shelter right out of college. I’ve worked in shelters ever since and absolutely love it! Because of my career, I have a lot of speciality experience. I’ve taken care of everything from bottle baby puppies/kittens to senior animals. I even had a senior, diabetic cat of my own, so medical needs are no problem for me! I do have a full time job and work 7:3-3:30 Tuesday-Saturday so my schedule can be a bit limited by that, however, I can try to be flexible. Unfortunately, I can not invite any pets into my home because my senior kitty prefers to have all the attention on him! I am happy to do home visits/walking as needed though, but can not do overnight stays due to the medical needs of my pet.

About: I have had and taken care of pets my entire life. I grew up in a rural area, so am comfortable with all sorts of animals, from dogs and cats to livestock, chickens, or even lizards! I am comfortable caring for, walking, administering medications, and wound management for any type of dog or cat. I am currently studying for a medical school exam, so my schedule is flexible and play dates with animals are my favorite type of study break! I do not offer boarding but I am available for walks, drop-ins, and overnights. While I do not provide care in my home, I am comfortable following any safety guidelines that you request I use in your home or while out walking your pet.

About: I’ve worked as a full time nanny for the past 6 years and have been responsible for walking and caring for their pets too, I also have my own senior doggie, a 13 year old schnauzer and have always loved caring for kiddos and their animal friends too. I currently work as a nanny Monday- Friday, but only 4 hours per day because I am only responsible for school drop offs and pick ups, so a couple hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon and I have the rest of the day available for walks and pet sitting! I can crate your dog if needed and provide any medication necessary for your pets, I love doing long walks and can stick to any schedule necessary whether that be feeding time or potty time. I am always punctual and I feel very passionate about making your pets feel safe and well taken care of.

“Ellie was a fantastic person to care for my cat while I was away. She was responsive to all of my messages to set up our initial meeting. She is very well versed in animal care and behaviors which made me feel confident in using her service. While I was away, she was sure to take several photos and her daily cat card reports were so detailed, I felt like I was there with her. I would highly recommend her and not only would I book a repeat service, I already have!”

About: With 14 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, cat, and lizard, I really understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, love, and consistency. What sets me apart is the empathy I bring from being a lifelong pet parent, not just a sitter. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my babies. I do not currently have a job, so I have lots of time to play with your pets! My schedule in the mornings is taking care of my own pets, and then errands and friends and such. In a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I respect your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away!

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 .

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
