Katherine is an amazing sitter. We have worked with her multiple times, and she always goes above and beyond. We never have to feel worried or stressed that our cats aren't being well cared for. We were gone over the 4th of July, so our cats not only had to contend with fireworks but massive storms as well. Katherine made sure to give them the extra care and attention they needed with all the chaos going on. She is absolutley wonderful and we cannot recommend her enough!

Ashely came by to do a meet and greet a few days before taking care of Kali which was so helpful for me to show her around the house. She followed all of my instructions and Kali was very happy with her! Will definitely be going back to her as needed☺️🥰

About: I offer peace of mind through professional experience. Your pets are family. They deserve an expert who understands behavior, medical needs, and safety. I bring over 13 years of professional animal handling to every sit. I will treat your home and pets with ultimate respect. Why Choose Me: 13 Years as an Animal Control Officer: Trained in animal behavior, safety, and emergencies. Senior Dog Specialist: Expert in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and cognitive care. Multi-Species Experience: Extensive background with dogs, cats, and rabbits. Safety First: Certified in emergency handling and reading subtle animal body language. Reliable Updates: Frequent photo, video, and text check-ins during every visit. I am currently at home most of the day, which means your beloved pet will receive constant supervision, love, and attention! Because of my open schedule, I can offer ultimate flexibility—whether that means hosting a fun staycation in my home, coming to yours for multiple daily visits, or doing quick midday 'let outs' while you are at work. I am proud to have a very welcoming pack of my own, including two sweet female miniature dachshunds and a friendly, medium-sized female terrier mix. All three of my girls absolutely love making new friends and are incredibly well-behaved with other dogs. Your pup will instantly feel like part of our family, enjoying non-stop companionship and a safe, joyful environment tailored completely to their daily routine! Your pup will enjoy the ultimate freedom and safety during their stay with me! I have a massive, 6-foot fenced-in yard that offers plenty of room for high-energy zoomies, fetch, and outdoor exploration. For absolute peace of mind, all gates are securely locked from the inside, making the yard 100% secure. When we are indoors, your dog will enjoy full access to the entire house, meaning they can lounge on the couch, follow me around, and truly treat my home as their own. They will never be restricted to a single room, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully part of the family.

About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

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.

I will definitely be using Sylvie for my future needs! Everything went smooth from meet and greet up until the final day. In my past there he always been some issue with dog sitters. Sylvie was quick to respond to request. The next day she came for a meet and greet which my dogs took well to her! I always get nervous with my 150+ lb mastiff but she had no fear of her! Sylvie sent many pictures during each visit to show me they were in good hands! She also went above and beyond for my older dog who sometimes can't hold her potty on the blanket! I HIGHLY recommend Sylvie for your pet needs!!!!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I’ve also fostered dogs in the past. Family and friends have relied on me to care for all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs with medication needs and larger, high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m attentive, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions their owners provide. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always make sure doors are securely closed, pets are supervised, and everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Preston Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,476 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 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 Preston Heights. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
