About: I am an experienced dog and cat caregiver with two German Shepherds and a cat of my own, so I am very comfortable handling both large and small animals. I am confident and strong enough to walk big, energetic dogs while also being patient and gentle with more sensitive pets. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for during walks and drop-in visits. I am reliable, attentive, and always treat every pet like my own. I am generally available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, and I can be flexible depending on the specific time and request. I am open to both regular and occasional bookings, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits when needed. I do my best to respond quickly and accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule allows. My goal is to provide consistent and reliable care that fits smoothly into both your schedule and your pet’s routine. I provide attentive, safe, and calm care in my client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, clean space, and plenty of attention and companionship. During visits and walks, I prioritize safety by keeping pets leashed, avoiding unsafe interactions, and staying aware of their behavior and surroundings. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I always respect the home by keeping it clean and secure when I leave.
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I've cared for my own cats and dogs as well as pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and Rover clients. Each pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs as well as kittens and adult cats. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, and I always pay close attention to each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your pets are in good hands. I currently offer House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and Dog Walking. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate booking requests whenever possible. House Sitting: My house sitting service is designed for pets who are comfortable being left alone between visits. During the day, I typically visit every 4 hours to provide potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. If you'd like overnight care, overnight stays (10:00 PM–8:00 AM) are available as a $40/night add-on through Rover. If your pet has unique needs or a different routine, please let me know before booking so we can discuss the best care plan. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I care for your home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care while helping your pet feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety is at the heart of every visit. I never leave dogs unattended outdoors, even in securely fenced yards. Whether we're outside for a potty break, playtime, or enjoying the fresh air, I remain with your pet at all times to ensure they're safe. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking. If I notice anything out of the ordinary or have any concerns, I'll contact you promptly. To ensure we're the right fit, I recommend scheduling a Meet & Greet before every first booking. During this time, we'll review your pet's routine, discuss any medical or behavioral needs, and answer any questions you may have. For transparency and the comfort of everyone involved, I ask that clients disclose any indoor cameras before the booking begins. Cameras are welcome in common areas for home security, but they should never be placed in bathrooms or sleeping areas where privacy is expected.
About: Hi! I grew up with cats since I was a baby. I have experience from kitten to older cats. I also have experience with dogs. I have watched a family member’s dog when needed. I have experience with puppy to older dogs. Hi, I am currently working at a school in Dresher. I’m available during the week starting around 4pm. I have more days available in August! And, I’m available all day on the weekends! I cannot watch dogs at mine and can only go to you! I am more than happy to house sit and/or walk your pets!
“Stephanie was great. We had a family emergency right before we left and were a little disorganized with instructions. Stefanie managed everything beautifully and took good care of Charlie.”
“We had reached out to Kirstin last minute and she could not have been nicer or more accommodating plus she was great with our silly boy, Mosley. She sent us updates and pictures each time she dropped in for a visit. Her communication regarding Mo was just what we needed to feel comfortable, that he was being well taken care of while we were away. Additionally, Kirstin was quick to respond to all of our messages (before, during and after our trip). We highly recommend Kirstins’ pet sitting services and look forward to booking with her again in the near future! Thanks Kirstin!🐾”
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
About: I lived with and took care of two dogs for two years with a partner. Both were Bernedoodles; one was an adult and the other was a 9-weeks old puppy when we first got him. In addition, I have fostered a kitten with my sister for 4 months. Some traits I have that make me suitable for pet care are that I am reliable, punctual, and can follow instructions well. I am an orchestral violinist and Oxford academic, so my schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I am typically available for dog walking in the mornings and afternoons, 7 days a week. I offer dog walking services where I travel to the dog's home and walk the dog in their neighborhood, respecting the dog's autonomy by letting them lead the way and choose the route, within safe boundaries.
About: Caring for animals is something I truly love. I’ve had my dog for 5 years, two cats for 2 years, and have been fostering dogs, including puppies, for the past year. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced in caring for both pets and children over the last 5 years, which makes me very responsible and dependable. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for 🐾 I can take dogs on a walk after 5pm weekday and usually anytime on the weekends also dropping by to do potty breaks at those same times or feedings, as well as clean litter boxes feed cats or kittens and play with any and all of them! I have a specific room for my foster dogs thats if in any case they just dont like my dog they dont have to be with him and i crate and rotate so everyone in my home gets lots of love
“Katrina is always thoughtful and cares deeply for your furry kids. She’s always making sure everything is right, and if not, she’ll figure out a way to make it right.”
“Meghan was amazing! Reliable, caring, and very attentive. She made sure everything was taken care of and gave our cats great company while we were away. We came home to happy cats and a clean space. Highly recommend her!”
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“Delaney was amazing! Even came prior to our scheduled drop-ins to do a meet and greet. Took great care of our babies and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you Delaney!”
“Allie did an amazing job looking after our 3 cats; Kimchi, Miso, and Bento! Kimchi suddenly needed medicine right before our trip and Allie had no issues giving him his pills. The daily pictures were awesome and she even took Kimchi out for walks on his harness, which was totally unexpected but he loved! Great job looking after our cats. We would absolutely book again and recommend to others”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life and have owned five dogs over the years. I have experience with Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Dachshunds, Terriers, and Chiweenies. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand how to properly care for our four-legged companions and am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well looked after. I am available Friday through Sunday, as well as before and after my college classes Monday through Thursday. I also have flexibility around my part-time job at a food restaurant, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged companions. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I live near two dog parks in a walkable area, making it easy to provide your four-legged companion with plenty of exercise when needed. I also have a variety of dog toys to keep them entertained and engaged. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will bring dog waste bags and a few of their favorite toys—or some of my own—to ensure they have a fun and comfortable experience.
About: I have had pets of my own for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I'm currently a teacher, but will have the summer off which allows me to be more flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I make sure pets are secure at all times.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Liz is the best!! We recently tried boarding our cat and it DID NOT go well. It left us so nervous to travel. Liz took her time with Kevin and he warmed right up to her and we were soon getting pics and videos of our VERY happy boy! We will keeping our fingers crossed that Liz is available for any future pet sitting needs!
Delaney was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two very shy cats while I was away for a week. I was so impressed with her patience and kindness, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable. She also went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and packages, which I really appreciated. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and knowing my home had been looked after gave me complete peace of mind. Delaney is dependable, thoughtful, and you can tell that she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Emma was fabulous. I was away for 10 days and she did drop ins on my cat Mittens. She went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and watering my plants. She messaged me daily along with a photos. It is a relief to have met Emma and know that when I am away in future I can leave my pet without worry. You will not be disappointed if you book with Emma!
Fozia is hands down the best cat sitter out there. I almost didn't want to pay this review because I don't want everyone else booking her too much 😂. She is considerate, professional and respectful. I love the notes she leaves and the toys she brings for my cats. I will seriously book her every time. Thank you, Fozia!
What can I say… Kim did an incredible job with drop in visits this past week for our kitties Peanut and Milo. She is calm, patient, caring, and reliable. Extremely reliable!!! We were away on vacation when a huge snowstorm hit, and Kim made a plan to ensure she could care for Peanut and Milo. Milo also had some special medical needs, including diabetes, and she did great with administering his insulin and meds. Kim is an excellent communicator. She is patient and friendly. Kim honestly came through for us in a challenging situation with the weather, and we are so grateful for her! We would highly recommend her pet sitting services.
Great pet sitting service as always when Elana comes to babysit my Kelce Kitty. Great communication and promptly always on time. Very reliable. Love all the pictures that get sent. Kelce is always happy to see her. Would definitely recommend! Thank you again for taking care of Kelce over the christmas holiday. We both appreciate you very much. Amber & Kelce

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oak Park on Rover is $31.64 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,605 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.

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.
