“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”
“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”
About: I have experience working as an assistant dog groomer, and I have a certificate in vet assisting. I have knowledge of dog behavior and body language, and I will be sure to take extra care of your pets. I have my own golden retriever and we go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to give her all my love each day. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to keep our babies safe, and I am just the girl for your pups needs! :) I’m currently working a full time day job Monday-Thursday, with occasional OT on Friday mornings. I am available in the evenings after 4:30 until 9, so plenty of time to give your fur babies some love. I give my dog her own walks in the evening as well, and if you are interested in me bringing her along to play with your pup, let me know. She’s a big dog lover like me. Of course, this is only by request and I won’t bring her to anyone’s home without them asking me to. I am open to bookings on Saturday mornings. Sundays are the only day I will be unavailable. I live in an apartment but I am near a bike path that goes to Spencer Park and that’s where I always take my pup on her walks. I am more than willing to take doggos on walks with my girl in this area if needed.
“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
“Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I've owned cats and dogs my whole life alongside rats, tarantulas, and snakes. Currently I have 3 cats ranging in age from 12years to 3 months. I'm longing for some additional interactions with doggies as I don't get that in my day to day. I'll love yours like they're mine I've recently resigned from my full time job and am looking forward to spending my time caring for animals instead of staring at a screen all day. I will ensure your loved one has water, food, and a clean environment. Their happiness and safety are my #1 priority. I wont just go through the motions, though. I will give them the love and attention in the specific way each pet needs
“As usual, Autumn provided great care for our cat! I always love getting her detailed updates! She really gets to know our cat’s personality which is comforting. We will continue to have her care for our animals-she is the best!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, thats how I learned responsibility. Helping my family take care of dogs feeding, walking, and training as far back as I can remember. Various breeds including dobermans, terriers (jack, pits, etc) Rottweilers, boxers, etc. I've also been the trusted person around town that family friends would pay to watch their dogs, including too many breeds to name! That started in my teens as soon as I could drive to the houses. Im now 32 with a year old pittie and an almost year old German shepard. I have trained both myself (not certified nor looking to train) but I take pride in building relationships with dogs. Any age, any breed, ill treat your pet with as much love and care as you can wish for! I've administered meds, dealt with social/separation anxiety and nothing scares me away to give the patience and time your pet deserves. I work full-time with a very set and reliable schedule. M-F 845am to 515pm. I can stop by both before and after work, for breakfast and stay longer after to ensure more playtime and care. If distance permits, can also stop by at lunch. Weekends are completely open for whatever you wish for your pet. I do have a fully fenced in back yard and both my dogs are friendly, although I don't offer overnight boards in my own home I will welcome weekend day care in my home. Otherwise, I have no issue with crate trained pups. You supply the rules and I will abide with your wishes when it comes to your own in home care.
About: I graduated in May of 2025 from the Madison Area Technical College Veterinary Technician Program, then passed the VTNE to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. In school we worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and lambs. I have had dogs since I was a child, and I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I worked on a farm taking care of horses for about two and a half years from 2020-2022. I've taken care of pets for friends/family for many years as well! I currently work at a vet hospital, though I am out on FMLA. Unfortunately, that means I can only take on pets less than 30 lbs at the moment. If you're looking for someone to take extra care of your pets, please reach out to see if we're a good fit! I'm currently working full time as a certified veterinary technician at a veterinary hospital. I work 40 hours a week with a varying schedule. Generally I work 8 am - 6 pm four days a week (my day off during the week changes each week). I work on Saturday about once per month. My rover clients will be scheduled around that availability. I currently live in an apartment with a cat and will not be able to watch clients' pets in my home. If I am watching pets in the client's home, I will take care of them the way I would take care of mine. I am respectful and conscientious of your personal space and privacy.
About: On top of about a decade’s worth of experience taking care of family and neighborhood pets, I’ve spent the last 1.5 years as a professional dog trainer! I have a passion for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I have taken care of and trained just about every age, sizes, and personality type. As long as you let me know what your babies need, I’m more than happy to help! I am a teacher currently on summer break! I have plenty of time to focus on your pets and give them the care and attention they deserve! I am open to doing whatever your normal routine is! I have experience with all kinds of care instructions including first aid and medications. Just let me know!
“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Our pets are an important part of our family but unfortunately they can’t tagalong with us everywhere we go. Have you found yourself passing up opportunities, turning down offers or just having guilt about leaving them cooped up for too many hours? As a former business owner and having two dogs I understand the struggle. I had endless guilt about not spending enough time with my pups. But, you are in luck because you needn't feel guilt anymore. I have a flexible schedule which allows for you to make last-minute trips, on a whim decisions or just simply having a worry free day away from home. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. My pups and I have all gone to training classes so, I have a solid understanding of canine behavior in order to keep everyone safe and sound. I work in the health and wellness industry. My position allows for me to create my own schedule which is conducive to caring for all your beloved ones needs. I am super outdoorsy! So, I am familiar with many of our local parks and walking paths. I am always up for a car ride and to go to the park. Please just let me what you feel comfortable with.
“First time booking wirh Michelle. She lives in the same town, has all kinds of pets & loves cats. We scheduled a meet & greet to learn what the pets needed. I appreciated that very much. Michelle took fed & watered & took photos of my outdoor cats and also tried to have cuddle, offer affection & pet them time as booked, but cats werent used to her. I thanked her for trying. Good experience and very reliable.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Poplar Grove on Rover is $16.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 437 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Poplar Grove. 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 Poplar Grove. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
