“Subi provided excellent care for our two older cats for over 2 weeks on a daily basis with special attention to the individual feeding requirements for each of our cats We were provided pictures each day of the the food, water and cleaned litter box, along with cute snapshots of our cats in various places. Subi took care of a a few extra requests as well, including watering a droopy plant and locating the robotic vacuum cleaner and placing it back on its dock for the next cycle of cleaning. We returned home to calm contented cats. We appreciate all the Subi did for our cats and our peace of mind.”
“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”
“Brianna was right on time everyday and every evening to make sure Lucy was fed and walked and lived even though the weather was extremely hot all week. I loved the wonderful pictures she sent and the ongoing communication she gave me reassured me that Lucy was in great hands! Nancy”
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!
About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).
“I cannot say enough good things about Rochelle. She has been amazing with Henry. I get pictures/updates after every visit and it really puts me at ease knowing Henry is in good hands. Rochelle is also very responsive and super easy to work with. She is a great person and Henry looks forward to seeing her every day!”
“Rachel took care of our cat Olaf while we were out of town. Olaf usually hides with new visitors, but he immediately warmed up to Rachel! She did a great job communicating (updates, pictures, etc.) and followed the pet care plan perfectly. Couldn’t recommend her services more!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.
“Jenna did a great job taking care of our deaf cat. She provided great feedback on the Rover cards and cleaned up after he spit up a hair ball. Would highly recommend!”
“Pingping is the best sitter anyone could ever ask for!! She is so kind, attentive, flexible, and always follows instructions. I can’t imagine leaving my cats with anyone else - I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Kayti was wonderful as usual. She sent updates and photos of how Scully was doing through our entire trip. Scully doesn't like people she doesn't know, and Kayti is able to get some interaction with her. I highly recommend her to others.”
“Breann has done a great job dropping in to take care of my cat while I was away. Her visit summaries are well detailed and she is very observant of cat behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
“Excellent sitter! Very flexible with her schedule. My Wife and I decided we wanted her to visit the dogs a little early and she did hesitate to help! Our dogs look so happy! You will not regret booking her!”
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”
About: I’ve pet sit since I was about 12 years old typically while babysitting! I love all pets so much and think that taking care of them is so fun! Being around animals is like therapy for me, so being able to petsit is something I enjoy so much! I love being able to care and spoil pets while I am with them. I also care and respect you, the owner, if in your house I make sure that it is as clean, if not cleaner, than it was when you left. I also promise to treat your pet like my own. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 9:45-4 as a nanny. Aside from this time I have a lot of flexibility and would love to help your family! As I said before, your pets are going to feel so loved in your home. I will love on them and give them so many pets! I make sure that if they make a mess I clean it up to keep your home clean and your pets (and you) happy
About: I absolutely love dog walking! I have a big senior pup at home who no longer can go for long walks, that's when I decided to start dog walking becuase... I truly enjoy it and love being active! I also have 1 cat of my own and have always had cats, they truly steal my heart. My grey boy you see in my photos crossed🌈Sept 24 I have expierence with leash training (pulling in particular), walking, giving medications/nail trims and drop in visits for potting and feeding. I have references for past clients outside of Rover. As a pet parent, human parent and small business owner I know how important it is to have reliable quality care for our pets! I have full availibility on weekends. Right now my availablity is for early mornings and after 6pm M-F. I am able to be flexible during my work day if I know in advance. Also short term vs long term I am much more flexible during the week. If you need care for ours you don't see please reach out to me. I am very alert in my surrounds on walks, if I see a situation that may not be safe I will use my best judgement as a mom and fellow pet parent to keep your pet safe. This applies to walks and being let out. Since I do not offer care at my home your pet will have the comfort of their own home and routine they are used to.

Katie has watched our eldery (and spoiled) cat for over a year and always does an excellent job. She even seems to have bonded with our cat even though she visits occasionally. We always feel happy and secure leaving our pet in her hands, and will continue to do so!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oak Park on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,872 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oak Park. 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 Oak Park. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
