“Hedi was great! She took care of everything, sent lots of pics and kept my babies safe and happy while mom was gone! Couldn't have asked for better care. We'll definitely be return customers!”
“Michelle was amazing! She took good care of our boy and provided detailed notes from each visit! Highly recommend Michelle and will certainly book with her again in the future.”
“May-Kate was great with our cats! We came home from vacation to two very happy cats! This was our first time leaving them with a cat sitter, and we were nervous about leaving them, but they loved playing with her and enjoyed her visits. She was super quick to respond to any texts I sent and always sent photos of the cats and notes about her visits right after she was finished. Her photos and notes about how they were doing gave us peace of mind and let us know our cats were well taken care of while we were away. We'll definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
“Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all! Highly recommend- if you want someone who both enjoys and "gets" your pets!”
About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.
“Lila was wonderful with Snickers. She was very prompt and did everything I asked with his crazy senior dog behaviors. She’s sweet and loves dogs, it’s obvious with her interaction when she met my dog. It was also quite a last-minute booking, and she really helped us out that way.”
“Kelly was so great with our puppy! She was super quick with communication and sent pictures at the end of her visit. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Huxley! She arrived on time, followed all directions perfectly, and was reliable and communicative throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Allison is fantastic! She followed all instructions right to the letter. My dog absolutely loved her. Highly recommended for dropp in visits or whatever other services you may need that she may provide!”
About: I am a college sophomore on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive animal experience, including, but not limited to, giving medications to special needs and elderly dogs. I have worked with animals with all different temperaments and am able to work with each one at the level that they are comfortable with. I won't just watch your pup. I will make sure that they are happy and exercised! I will maintain communication and provide regular updates to assure you and your family that your pets are doing great! I'm currently working full time, but I will still have lots of time around my work schedule to make sure that your pet is getting all the love and attention it deserves! When I care for pets in their own home, I keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure. I always: - Follow your instructions carefully (feeding, walks, meds, etc.) - Keep your home tidy and clean up after pets - Provide companionship, cuddles, and playtime - Maintain their usual sleep, potty, and exercise habits - Bring in mail or water plants if needed - Send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away.
“This is our 2nd time with Kaitlyn & she is great! She does all we ask & is appreciative of our tips beforehand with how to care for our cats. Very kind & considerate - would recommend her to anyone & will hopefully continue to have her watch our kitties when needed😊”
“Amby is absolutely amazing! She exceeded every expectation we had and cared for our feline fur kiddos with genuine love and professionalism. Our fur kiddos have extensive needs—medications, special feeding routines, and a fair bit of sanitation work—and Amby handled it all with ease and care. She kept us updated with photos during every visit, which brought so much peace of mind while we were away. Our fur kiddos were well-loved and looked after. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and thorough pet sitter!”

Kara is great. She managed to get my very skittish cat to come out from under the bed for proof of life pictures! She’s extremely reliable and consistently sent updates while we were away. Highly recommend having Kara watch your pets. I feel better knowing she’s checking on them.
Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Round Lake on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
