“Hope was amazing!!!! Maxwell was comfortable with her from the very start and fell in love with her quickly. It was almost like they were kindred spirits...REALLY! She was prompt and simply delightful. If anyone gets the chance to utilize her services, she some HIGHLY recommended. P.S. Hope, Maxwell misses you!”
“Always know my hounds will be well cared for when Brittany comes. Prompt, professional pet care with attention to detail and true love for furry friends. Highly recommend!”
About: I've lived with cats for most of my life, and I have experience sitting for both senior dogs and puppies! I'm comfortable around dogs of any size and can handle most medications and messes, provided some instruction. In case it's relevant, I also have some limited experience with a variety of other animals, ranging from birds and mice to horses and rabbits! I'm currently waiting for the growing season to start up again (I'm an environmental technician), so I have plenty of free time during the week to spend helping out with pet care. I have a rather skittish kitty of my own, so I can't board any animals, but I'm happy to come visit others. So long as the information is provided, I'm happy to help feed, play with, clean up after, and help give medications to your furry family members as needed.
“Julie was a life saver when we had conflicting schedules and needed someone to help care for the pups. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, had great communication, and was so sweet to my babies. Will definitely recommend and hopefully can have her help again in the future!”
About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.
“Chipper and Emmie absolutely loves it when Rebecca comes over each week to let them stretch their legs and play for a bit! Rebecca communicates every day when she visits and it really helps my peace of mind knowing these 2 are in good hands while I am at work!”
“Sam did an excellent job of taking care of Mya and Harley, even though they probably hid from her the entire time, LOL. We were very confident that she would handle their care and came home to healthy cats. We will use Sam again in August when we leave for a longer trip.”
“Chris is always amazing at handling our high energy puppy. He has been doing drop ins for us and is always flexible, on time and always shows us what a great time our puppy is having.”
About: I took care of my senior dog until he passed and I also have cared for many happy cats. I can do care from simple companionship and exercise to medication, special needs. I have a flexible schedule for this summer.I work part time at another job but that’s a very flexible schedule as well. I’m open to opportunities. I always try to maintain a safe and fun vibe during my time with pets. My priority at all times is making sure their needs are met.
“I highly recommend Norma. She went above and beyond by noticing i had accidentally turned off my heat and turned it on for me. She trys to work with my shy /timid cat that hides. She is wonderful”
“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”
About: I've been caring for pets for most of my life and truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, and I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and routine. I'm experienced in administering medications, preparing special diets, and providing attentive care for pets with specific health or dietary needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet's time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. I work full-time at a public library, but I love spending my free time caring for pets! 🐾 Before and after work, your pet will have my full attention, with plenty of love, playtime, walks, or cuddles—whatever makes them happiest. During the week, I'm an especially great match for cats and for independent dogs who are comfortable relaxing at home while I'm at work or who have safe, secure access to a yard or indoor potty area. On my weekends off, I have much more flexibility and can devote even more time to your pet. I work at a local public library full time. I am able to check on pets in the AM and PM. On the weekends I have more time throughout the full day. One of my core values is to leave a place better than I found it, if possible. So I clean, keep things organized, and make sure to keep the client’s home nice while I am there.
“Guadalupe did a great job taking care of our cats and dogs for drop-ins. She even cleaned up some unexpected messes. We got updates every time she dropped by with all bathroom and feeding breaks, and most importantly pictures! :)”
“They are amazing! Always easy to communicate and work with. Keep you updated as they take care of your pet, and make you feel comfortable about leaving the care of your pet to them. Definitely working with them again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.
“Barb is a dream come true! She’s my go to walker for Josephine and she’s come to walk her last minute when we had a family emergency. You can’t go wrong with Barbara!”
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”

Chris did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. He was reliable, thorough, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos at every visit. He clearly spent real time playing with them and getting to know their personalities, and he even helped with a few things around the house without being asked. I came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book Chris again.
Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!
Amy did a phenomenal job. She did drops in for my 2 medically fragile cats for 11 days and was able to administer their injectable medicine. She was enthusiastic and attentively executed their comprehensive care tasks. She also gracefully handled a situation where my cat had to be taken to his vet which is quite far from my house and during rush hour. She also left my home very tidy. Great communication and phenomenal care- my cats loved her which is a noteworthy stamp of approval. I would recommend Amy to anyone who has pets with special needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,480 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Round Lake Beach. 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.

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.
