About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! As a diabetic cat, Charlie needs his insulin on a consistent schedule, and Heather was punctual at every feeding, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Charlie can be quite grumpy when I'm not around, but Heather handled his attitude effortlessly. She took the time to make him comfortable by giving him treats, keeping his favorite toys and fresh catnip available, and simply spending time talking to him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and loved. I also really appreciated her thoughtful report cards and the multiple photos she sent during her visits. She went above and beyond to keep me informed and reassured. During my trip, Heather experienced a medical emergency of her own. She communicated with me and even offered to complete her remaining scheduled visits. I ultimately decided to return home early and let her know that she didn't need to worry about those visits because I wanted her to have the time to rest and recover. I appreciated her communication and willingness to follow through, even under difficult circumstances. Heather is trustworthy, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for cats. I especially appreciate the time she took to get to know both Charlie and me so she could understand his needs, personality, and routine. Being able to leave town for a few days knowing Charlie was in caring hands is priceless, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone who will treat their cat with patience, compassion, and love!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of experience dog and cat sitting. I recently moved back to Crystal Lake from Nashville and would love to help care for your pets while you're away! I have three cats and two puppies of my own, so I’m super comfortable around animals of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just chilling on the couch, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My dogs love beach walks, hiking trails, and anything else adventurous and enriching-we’d love to bring your dog along! I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages so you know your pup is doing great! I am available Monday-Thursday after 1 pm and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have a huge unfenced yard where my dogs love to play. I have two friendly puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night. Otherwise my puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!
“Autumn was wonderful and all four of our pups, even our shy one warmed up and felt comfortable around her immediately. Autumn was in regular communication and sent some great photos and feedback on all of our girls after her visit. We’ve never had anyone except family members care for our girls and felt at ease after meeting Autumn and thought she did a wonderful job. We plan to book boarding with her and some additional drop in visits as well. Very happy and would recommend.”
“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”
About: I've had pets all my life (cats, dogs, fish, even a frog!) and did animal rescue for several years in Arizona- helping at adoption events, home visits, fostering kitties, a mama cat with 5 babies, & about a dozen dogs/puppies. I moved back to IL and am raising my 2 children and working from home. We have even rented baby chicks to help a local farm, so my kids understand pet care too. I truly understand how hard it is to find good, comforting help with pets and been there myself. I love all animals and currently have a senior female dog at home. I have proven to be a reliable helper to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers. I've been able to save loose dogs and reunite them because of my calm demeanor with animals. I always love to give a hand to others and understand pets are family. I currently work remotely from home and have some flexibility during the day after 8AM while working and often done with work by 4PM, some days earlier. I have some kid activities on weekends, but generally home and my dog here is very laid back, sweet, and tolerates the young pups even and still loves to outrun them even lol. I have availability most on weekends for walks, but can try to arrange things time to time. I can squeeze in let outs when not in meetings with clients. I would let you know if time doesn't permit before accepting. My yard is fenced in completely and my senior dog is very nice and will help keep them feeling comfortable. I have extra crates if needed, depending upon the service needed. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to help with yours. If overnight at your home, please note I'd need my kids to come with me when they are out of elementary school, but they are very respectful and well behaved animal lovers too. I understand pets are family and safety is important to me too.

“Nikki watched my cat Sabine this weekend and I'm so pleased with her work! She is a punctual, organized, and kind petsitter. She sent frequent check-in texts and photos while I was traveling to keep me updated, and Sabine couldn't have been happier with her. I definitely recommend her services for any petsitting needs :)”
About: I’m very responsible and respectful of others homes. I always clean up after myself and keep myself nice and presentable. I’m also very friendly and kind It’s a amazing feeling taking care of pets and providing families with satisfaction that their pets are completely safe and cared for is the #1 priority Feeding/walking and of course play time also excercise and Id cuddle them and sometimes nap with them. Most of all I’d make them feel loved and safe in my company
About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.
“Arianna did great with Porkchop! She was punctual to his feeding times and he looked happy and healthy when we returned. We will keep her in mind for future bookings!”

We returned again to happy, well-cared for cats who clearly missed Maria's attention and affection. Some of my favourite photos of our kitties have been taken by Maria, she really sees their unique purrsonalities. One of them has special medical needs and we know he's in very good hands with Maria. Thank you again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ridgefield. 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.

- 89% 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.
