“Victoria is great. Charming. Patient. Knowledgeable. She's a cat whisperer. We hired her for a tricky situation: three cats in a small home. One of the cats has been the only pet in the house for years. The other two are rehomed (due to the death of their owner). One of the two has had a hard time adjusting. Victoria, however, figured out some tricks to get him out of his reclusive habits. We were astonished at what she got him to do. And we notice more courage from him upon coming home to our vaction.”
“I went on an 11-day vacation and left my cat with Mrs. Fozia. She’s the perfect person to leave your cat with! She and her cats welcomed my cat with open arms, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He was so comfortable and happy there, and I could tell he was being well taken care of. Mrs. Fozia kept me updated every day and made sure he had everything he needed. Knowing he was safe, comfortable, and surrounded by love made my vacation so much more relaxing. I would definitely trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy. Thank you Mrs. Fozia. - From Milo and the Family 🥹💕”
“Brittany was amazing! Basqui was in great hands and I can tell she enjoyed her company when I returned. She had great communication, was punctual and shared pictures throughout her time with Basqui. I would highly recommend Brittany.”
“Lana was amazing and attentive and took great care of our beloved kitty! She was always timely (important because he is food obsessed and will certainly perish if not fed on time!!!). She provided excellent communication and lots of feedback through pictures and texts. It is incredibly difficult for me to be away from my kitty and she truly provided me the peace and happiness that I needed to be able to enjoy my vacation. She listened to what was important to me to take the best care of my baby during the meet and greet and followed up on everything that I asked. I highly recommend Lana.”
“Erin was great for us. We had never used Rover before booking with Erin so we were not sure what to expect but she went over everything before hand and set up a meet and greet which was very reassuring. Erin was super thoughtful and thorough throughout which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely rebook with Erin in the future as she was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”
About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was ten. I currently have three dogs (one of whom is a senior dog) and two cats. I love walking any dogs and playing in the backyard with them. I've been a volunteer at Last Chance Ranch in Quakertown for the past two years, during which I work with dogs who are happy and wiggly and those who are hesitant, sick or scared. I'm also a mom of two students, an honor student entering college and an honor athlete entering her junior year (so I know how to raise kids too!! :-) ) I look forward to taking care of your babies like I take care of my own. I'm a high school teacher, who can be free to come to your house as of 3pm for walks or to take care of your babies. I am available most weekends. I will follow any requests of the owners, but definitely enjoy a good walk with puppies (all dogs are puppies in my world). Cuddles and talks with your animal are essential to helping them feel safe while mom and dad are away. Your babies and home will be in good hands with me.
“I was very concerned about leaving my shy boys, in someone else's care. Juliette was a God send, as she also has a shy cat. She knew to be patient, and give them their space. She also fosters cats, which helped me make my decision. She scooped everyday. She offered new toys regularly, to help prevent boredom. She provided updates daily. I would definitely have Juliette take care of my babies again.”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply giving extra attention to senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that keeps pets happy and stress-free. Im currently working part time right now so I have a lot of extra free time on my hand & would love to take care of all animals during my free time Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. I’ll make sure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and a clean environment. I’ll also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I would give my own.
About: I’m a former vet nursing student looking to earn extra money through pet sitting. I have experience with exotics including birds and reptiles as well as rabbits. I’ve been helping with my family’s business since the age of 13 and have a decent amount of medical knowledge so I can help with your pets who may need insulin or other life saving medications. Your pets will be in safe hands with me. I'm currently on a break from work due to taking care of myself as well as figuring out career paths. I will be spending all my time with your baby if they stay with us and I'll be happy to provide as many walks as you'd like. I have multiple pet gates and multiple floors for the safety of the pets. I am happy to try and trim your dogs nails as well as give them a bath before they head home. I am very attentive with medications and watching for medical needs as I have a background in veterinary nursing. I am also comfortable if your pet requires insulin or any other form of medication!
About: Hello! I am a 25 year old animal caretaker! I have experience working with many cat and dog breeds. I specialize in high energy dogs! My family and I have been fostering for a non profit organization since 2015. With fosters the ages of 6 weeks to 14 years old. I have always been an animal lover. For fun my mom and I would go to our local animal shelters to hangout with the beautiful souls! I previously worked for an animal hospital as a kennel attendant I had the best time caring and playing with each visitor we had. I have experience offering check in visits and walking dogs in any weather (snow, rain, cold, hot). Thank you for your time and I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m available for walks Monday- Friday! As early as 7:30 am to 6 pm. Pet services are scheduled within a designated time window. For example, a 30-minute walk can be booked within the 11 AM–12 PM window, allowing me flexibility to arrive at any point during that hour. Even if you have a fenced in yard I will be outside keeping an eye on your pet. If you do not have a fenced in yard I can take your dog on walks to give them time to use the bathroom. If your pet needs to be crated I will be sure to give them a treat or a toy to have with them.

“Shannon was very attentive and flexible to schedule changes. She offered up extra time to try and get our kitty comfortable!! Very thorough with pictures and updates. Responds within a couple minutes!! Will definitely use again :)”
About: I have had family dogs all growing up! In my senior year of college I adopted a dog of my own which allowed me to understand the importance of training, taking care of dogs, and showing them unconditional love! I currently work a part-time job that is pretty flexible, so I will be able to meet all of your pets needs this summer!! I have been an animal lover my whole life and I know how it feels to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I am able to accommodate any needs that you and your pet may have to make them feel comfortable!
About: I am an experienced pet sitter for dogs of all breeds & ages with over six years of personal and professional experience. Animals are my reason for joy! I currently work remotely part time, which is perfect for house sitting and being there for animals who need more attention and care. The rest of the week my schedule fluctuates based on my part time job schedule, with shifts ranging from 6-8 hours. I always make sure I have the contact information for not only the pets owners, but any emergency contacts such as trusted family members, neighbors, and vets for the safety of the animal and peace of mind for the owner.
“Alec was top notch! Our big boy St. Bernard can be a bit grumpy towards strangers but Alec took the time to stop over before the booking service to meet him and bond. He was incredibly kind to our babies- even took time to love on our kitties and send pictures of them though they didn’t need anything. He was reliable and quick with any communication. Can’t say enough about Alec. We will hands down book with him again!”
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Sylvester had a great time with Amy! They played everyday and I loved the pictures. Amy is always on time, always attentive to him and I come home to a very happy boy. I love all the pictures she sends and when I see them I know he's happy and well cared for. I have really appreciated Amy as our sitter these last few months when I have had a lot of business travel. She's terrific - Sylvester and I would highly recommend!
Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy! I will rebook with her now every time and I’m telling all my family and friends to use her!
Liz is Awesome !!!L Liz has a great personality and It was immediately obvious that she loves cats and was totally comfortable approaching our Atticus. Atticus is usually very hesitant around people but he took to her right away, purring and rubbing up against her. We felt very comfortable with Liz and we know our baby is in Great Hands !!! We look forward to scheduling her again...!!!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oak Park is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,611 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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
