“Lisa is wonderful! I have absolute confidence she will take great care of kitty Libby while we are on our travels. Great communication and Libby seems to love her. I highly recommend!”
About: Hi! Thanks for looking at my profile. I’m Karah. I first began pet/house sitting when I was living in Ecuador in 2012. I am well practiced with dogs of all sizes, cats of many temperaments, and critters ranging from fishes to bearded dragons. I am currently working part time at a craft store. As such I can be with your critters for most of the day. Everyone will be well looked after and let out, walked, given specific care, et al. Quite frequently. I am not able to keep pets in my own home. I have my own two dogs and a cat who claims his own space.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.
“We have used Jolene’s “Stop By” service several times now, while away on vacation, and she does a great job every time! Highly recommend! Thank you for taking such great care of Malkina Jolene!”
“Summer was a delight to work with and our dogs loved her! She did as asked and always arrived and stayed for her drop ins as arranged. We would definitely hire Summer again for drop ins with our dogs loved:)”
“Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Haley. She followed all of the directions extremely well, took great care of Theo and went above and beyond to stimulate him during their outings. Highly recommend!”
“I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!!!!!! Taylor was very easy to communicate with and it was so great to know my cat was being taken great care of while I was away!!!!!!”
About: I have had animals in my house since I was a child. My cats act more like dogs and love to play and have fun yet they can still be calm and cuddly. I would love to create memories with your pets as well! I currenlty spend 3 days working from and can be there for your pet when they need me. They are also able to keep me company as I watch movies or binge tv shows. They are always allowed a cuddle to sleep or a cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced in yard but can also have your dog leashed and taken on a walk or tethered in the yard. They will always have access to food and water and are fed on whatever schedule you would like them to be fed on. Playtime is also my favorite. I have a lot of open space in my home and have a room where they would be able to go if they prefer to not be around other animals.
About: I’ve had a dog (my Bestfriend) my whole life but she is unable to walk anymore. I want to relive those moments with other dogs while making other families happy and get away from the chaos in and delight of having a dog. I do have a summer job right now but I wanted to fill up my whole week so most my free days would be Sunday and Monday. I will be available some other days but it would have to be in the early mornings. I would prefer to do walking jobs or taking care of pets for a certain period of time in clients homes. I am in my parents home so it would best best if my services were done somewhere else.
“Amanda was amazing. She followed instructions and my dogs were well taking care of. I loved the pics while I was on vacation and I felt assured that everything would be fine when I returned. It's not often you find someone who has a professional character that you can depend on. Will definitely be reaching out to Amanda in the future.”
“Natalie was a life savor helping us in a last minute dog watching need! Our dog became sick just before a trip (unable to go to the boarders) and Natalie was able to help us with less than 24 hours notice! She took wonderful care of our dog and was great at giving updates!”
About: I have been pet sitting all through my life. I can take care of kittens and puppies as well. I am an animal lover to the core. I currently work full time from Monday to Friday 9am-4pm. I am available anytime after 4pm or before 9am on weekdays and all day on weekends. I don't have pets of my own due to my lease. But I have done sitting at apartment buildings and homes. I can acclimate as needed.
“Sara is extremely easy to work with, communicative, and reliable. She came through for my family at the last minute and did an amazing job. I highly recommend her services”
About: I have a Bachelor of Science in Zoology, experienced in animal husbandry, and experience as a veterinary assistant. Since I was little, I have always loved caring for animals of varying species. My time as a veterinary assistant helped me to gain experience in handling large and small dogs, and cats, giving medication, walking dogs, calming and soothing cats and much more. While going to school for my Zoology degree, my neighbors, friends and co-workers would often rely on me to watch their pets. My responsibilities included: checking in multiple times a day, staying at the owners house, boarding dogs, feeding on a schedule, administering medication, daily walks, and the occasional bath and/or nail trim. I am currently a Barre 3 instructor part time and a full time stay at home artist. My schedule is flexible and am able to care for your pets during various times of the day. In my home, the pets are extremely well taken care of. They are given ample amount of time outside to release their energy as well as lots of time for cuddling. My home is full of calm and loving energy where the animals are free to relax. While caring for your pets in your home, I believe in keeping them as close to their normal routine as possible. I enjoy letting the animals adjust to me slowly so I am able to gain their trust and confidence.
“Karen is a wonderful partner. I’ve booked her twice to take care of my cat Maggie. Her reliability, honesty and genera love for animals has made her a ‘favorite’ person of mine to contact for pet sitting.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northwoods
Maddy did a great job with Fritz! I was so thankful that she kept coming back when we had an issue with a jammed lock on the first day and Fritz was obviously so happy to see her. Fritz’s new medications are a lot for him to get used to, so I’m so glad to have found someone who could give them to him.
Emma did a great job with my cats! Her rover cards always had pictures and video along with thorough updates so I didn’t have worry at all while I was away. It was clear my cats loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also had no problem feeding my exotic pets and even watered some of my thirstier plants. She was always quick to get back to me will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,318 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northwoods. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northwoods. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
