About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. I have my own Border Collie Arya and Devon Rex Tyrion at home. I am an attentive and loving pet owner who is familiar with giving medications. I currently work full time as a youth services librarian. My schedule is flexible to drop in on your pet during the week, and I always have flexibility on the weekends. I love to spend time cuddling pets and loving going on walks with them. Both my pets at home love attention. I am familiar with giving pet medications since both of mine take daily meds.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was a child, I grew up around them. I always make sure they're fed and have enough water throughout the day, walking them, playing with them and overall spending time with them. I love all animals and just want them to feel happy in my care. I’m currently enrolled at UIC, and my first semester has a lighter class schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pet care. I’m available on weekends and Friday afternoons, with some additional weekday afternoon availability depending on my class schedule. I’m flexible and will work with you to find a time that works best for you and your pet. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care.
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and more. Dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet. I currently work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to your pets! My schedule gives me ample availability for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and love they deserve while you're away! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions provided. From walks and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet receives plenty of love and attention. I also value communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands!

“It was great to get pictures and an update after each visit. When I got home the litter boxes were both clean and the food and water dishes were both clean and filled. Will definitely use the service and Destiny again.”

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since childhood. I have an interest in all kinds of animals and I do not mind doing the dirty work to take care of them. I currently work 8-5 on weekdays, often ending at 4 or 4:30. I wake up early and can fit pet care into my morning before work and directly following work. In the morning, I can provide food and time outside/play time, and directly after work, I can provide a walk/exercise outside, and I can visit more times later in the evening as well. On weekends, I can come at any time of day, as many times as needed. I have a reliable form of transportation in the form of my own car, and I can very easily get from place to place. I live in the Frankfort suburbs, not too far from many places. In my own home, my pets stay in the house, and the dog is regularly taken outside for the bathroom, as well as getting walked once a day, sometimes twice. The cats do not go outside, and their litter gets cleaned once a day, but I can do more for your own pet. The dog is fed twice a day, and the cats are fed wet food once a day, with dry food available throughout the day.
About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.
About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested! I’m here to ease your mind while you’re enjoying time away from home. I am completely open on weekends! During the week is more limited but please submit a request and I’d love to discuss your pets needs. In my clients home I follow instruction closely. I understand each animal has specific needs. I will make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

“Sierra was very sweet to agree to a last minute booking. She made sure my cat was well looked after while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and followed the instructions exactly as I gave them. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Doesn't have lot experience with dog's and I want to be honest but I know how to love them I've been taking their cats for many years By what I’m saying, I don’t believe that you would want me to do your dog and I can understand if you show me have the patient if you have the patient with me and thank you I’m disabled. I just not really due to me Dogs specially when it comes to my health , I apologize.thank you so everyone I can always try
“Guillermina is such a gem! A true diamond in the rough. She took great care of my two babies and was very understanding when I made a mistake with the dates. She was able to hold them an extra day. Forever grateful for her!”

“Luz was an excellent care taker for our baby boy! She was very detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures! Her knowledge of caring for dogs definitely came in handy since our boy suffers from a bit of anxiety. She was able to asses when he was a little nervous and give his medication when needed. Our corgi can very hyper and insistent, so he needs someone with a calming and centered personality to bring him some peace and that's definitely what Luz brings to her caring service. He enjoyed her undivided attention and walks. We 100% would book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their hyper but sweet dog 🐶 ❤️. Thank you Luz!”

“Kylie fed and walked my dog while I was out of town for two days When I came home my dog was happy and appeared welk cared for. kylie provided me with information about the walks she took woth my dog. I would book Kylie again.”
About: ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! MESSAGE ME! Hello! I’m Lindsay, known as the "Cat Whisperer", serving the South Suburbs and NWI. While many sitters offer general pet care, I specialize in providing a high-level, intuitive experience for cats (and their avian or farm friends!) who require a more sophisticated touch. My home is a true sanctuary, shared with five cats, chickens, and a peacock. This lifelong immersion in nature has given me a unique shorthand with animals—especially those who are shy, "spicy," or highly sensitive to their environment. Certified Professional & Medical Specialist I bring peace of mind to pet parents who need more than just a food-and-water check-in. My background includes: Red Cross Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR: I am trained to handle emergencies with a calm, capable head. Advanced Medical Care: I am highly proficient in administering medications (pills, liquids, or specialized treatments) and following strict veterinary protocols. Life-Stage Expertise: I have extensive experience with kitten development and birthing, as well as providing compassionate, dignified care for senior and end-of-life cats. Professional Network: I maintain active affiliations with multiple local vets and have trusted connections for in-home end-of-life services should you ever need that support. A Calming, Wellness-Focused Approach Beyond the clinical side, I am a practitioner of calming energy work. I use gentle, non-invasive techniques to lower stress levels and promote a sense of safety. This "whole-creature" approach is a game-changer for anxious pets who struggle when their owners are away. Whether you are in the South Suburbs or Northwest Indiana, I am here to be your pet's advocate. I don't just "watch" your pets—I look after their physical health and emotional spirit as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: At 13 I had the privilege of being a doggy mom, I wouldn’t replace the moments for a thing! I love dogs and they deserve to feel safe and cared for. ROD dog lover! I am now 20 and my bestie for the restie is my fur baby🥰 I am currently doing online school and have a flexible work schedule. Commonly work nights mostly during the weekends but am able to go in whenever I have 2 dogs! My sisters cat visits here and there. My dogs are both Shih Tzu and Maltese. 1 boy 1 girl. They are very accustomed to our home and are very well trained!
About: I am a special education teacher looking to keep busy and make a little extra money this summer! I currently have two cats, but have also had dogs my whole life. I have also had turtles, fish, and even a mini pig. I have experience caring for birds as well. My schedule is pretty open! I am a special education teacher with my summer off! I have a few set plans over the summer- such as a trip to Disneyland for a week in July. But, in general, I’m pretty flexible. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and love all animals that I care for. I also will take especially active animals for walks or play with them in the house.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Preston Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 426 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Preston 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 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.

- 88% 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 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.
