“Rachel did an excellent job with Monarch. Rachel kept me up to date and took pictures. Rachel took good care of Monarch, played with him, walked him, gave him his meds and fed him. This was my second attempt at home visits while away with Rover and my first went really bad. But Rachel has restored my trust and I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.

“Alyssa was absolutely a God send. She was incredible with our two kitties that we never left before. She was very thorough and detail oriented. Also she sent regular pictures and videos and messages. Anytime I reached out to her she was very quick to respond. She was the only person that our kitties actually went up to the first time they met her. They are always reserved and shy and actually run and hide from any visitors...even my parents that have been here several times took them several visits to get used to. Animals can sense a good hearted, caring person when they meet one. We will absolutely be using Alyssa on a regular basis. I know it can't be easy to trust someone you don't know staying at your house for several days but as soon as I met Alyssa, I was instantly comfortable and trusting of her. One word to describe her: PERFECT. :-)”

About: Hello all! My name is Ariel, like the mermaid :), and I have two years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats. No matter the type of pet, I’m dedicated to ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I love animals with my whole heart so it was a no brainer to naturally gravitate towards Rover as not only a form of extra income, but a way to interact with them more regularly. I take pride in being highly attentive to each pet's unique needs, whether it's going for long walks, providing playtime and exercise, keeping meal times consistent, or offering snuggles and companionship. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely, including any special dietary needs, medication routines, or any other specifics. I also provide a google form before every booking to ensure we tailor your preferred method of care to all of your pets' specific needs! I may have only two years of experience, but I approach each pet with the same level of care and responsibility that I would for my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member and providing them with the best care possible! I currently work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to provide your pets with the love and care they need without the restrictions of a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Because I work from home, I’m available during the day to give your pets extra attention when they need it most. Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! I offer in-home pet sitting at my spacious, pet-friendly house, where your furry friend will have plenty of room to relax and play. Our lower-level den is a large, comfortable space perfect for pets to explore, stretch out, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet won’t feel lonely here—my two friendly cats love having new companions around and are happy to provide some extra company! I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need while staying in a safe, cozy environment.

“Suzanne was very nice, punctual and I had complete confidence in her. This was a long time away and the first time I’d left my cat for so long. Suzanne sent me photos and reassured me all was well. And it was. With my cat, with my condo and thus with my trip. Thanks so much. I will certainly ask for her again.”

“I have now had two great experiences with Stefanie! She checked in on my cat daily and went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for. I always received updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Kimber can be a little shy with new people, but she warmed up quickly—which says a lot! I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty. I would definitely recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

She really gave me peace-of-mind.”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Palos Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 5,735 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palos Heights. 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 Palos Heights. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
