“Chris was very patient in trying to convince my shy cats to come out of their shells and he exceeded! He's a very conscientious cat sitter into great care of my house and my cats! I recommend him to anyone!”
About: I have experience with all ages and temperaments of dogs and cats. I have cared for senior pets and enjoy making sure all of their needs are met. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a car and can be where I am needed on short notice. I really enjoy getting to meet new cats and dogs and getting to know their personalities. I make sure all of their needs are met and treat them like I would my own pets.
About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.
“Gwen did an awesome job watching our cat, Sulley! They really bonded while we were away — she talked to him, gave him lots of attention, and took great care of all his needs. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and that made it so much easier to be away. I could tell Sulley was comfortable and happy with her. Highly recommend Gwen if you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with animals!”
“Niunte is wonderful, very attentive & caring, and sends the best updates! We are so thankful for her flexibility and care for our higher-needs cat, and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Swagata did a great job taking care of our cat. She was sending us pictures and videos daily while we were on vacation. She is so lovely and caring person. I don't have to look for someone else next time we go on vacation, I know I can count on Swagata.”

“Delaney was great from start to finish! We were able to coordinate a meet & greet prior to the requested booking dates to ensure both parties got along well. My cat was well taken care of - and Delaney even helped out with the mail and weekly garbage/recycling pick up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing their cat cared for while they’re away.”
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.
“Kathy and Edward were so helpful with my senior cat while I had to go out of town for a funeral. I was so relieved they took great care of him and even gave him his medication and played with him. Wonderful service!”
About: I've been a sitter for over twelve years; entrusted with peoples pets and homes and esuring responsible and compassionate care with many refernces availible. I travel full time so I have no pets of my own and thats why I enjoy caring for other peoples. With a flexible work schedule, I can accomodate your pets specific needs. I am happy to do check ins, walks and exercise, or house stays- whatever makes your pet most comfortable. I have experience administering medication and pride myself on my communication and professionalism. If you think I may be a good fit I'd love to connect and learn more about your pets needs. I work remotely part time so I am flexible and able to accomodate your pets needs first and foremost to ensure their needs are taken care of. I strive to understand how you pet parent as everyones style and comfortability is different. My goal is to make the pet feel at ease the best I can. By speaking with you ahead of time and understanding your routine, language, reward and disciple style, as well as the pets normal behavior I am able to minimize their stress and ensure compassionate thoughtful care.
About: Dog owners and their dogs love the care I provide because I go above and beyond to take care of their animals! I have always been a huge animal person and enjoy volunteering at the animal shelter. All of my animals at home have came from the animal shelters. I am a mom to Reign & Boots, our pitbull mixes! Both under the age of 2.. they keep my husband and I very very busy! I currently work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, perfect for day time drop-in’s or walks during lunch time! I am very communicative and will send pics as needed. I ensure safety by being completely focused on your pet. I will not be on my cell phone while walking your pets, making sure I lock up when I’m leaving and follow any in home instructions set by pet owners.
“Celeste was fantastic! She was very caring and made us feel comfortable leaving our kitten with her for almost two weeks. She also was really good at providing us updates and pictures while we were gone. I would highly recommend her!”
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 love both dogs and cats! I've never had a problem with any one of them except for that one dog that keep barking and running after me when I was 10 lol, but turned out the little guy just wanted to be friends. I am planning on doing this full time, so I'll have all the time in the world to play with your pets and to make them my besties. There is a park near my apartment that will have your pets tail wagging whenever we go for a super fun and exciting walk !
About: I am the family pet and house sitter and have been for many many years. I’ve had pets my whole life: a yorkie/Pom, lab, border collie mix, cats. My boy fathead (I didn’t name him lol) is the black fluffy cat that was with me for 17 years, he had kidney failure and unfortunately he didn’t make it through. This is where my experience with IV’s really helped. We did daily IV meds, IV fluids etc. to try and save him. I’ve also had hamsters, ferrets, pups/elderly dogs, fish. I grew up going to my uncles farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats, a donkey… you name it and I’ve taken care of them in some capacity!! I love them all! Feeding, giving treats, going for walks, or just hanging out in the yard or house… a girl couldn’t ask for a better day! I am a PE/Health teacher in the area. Help me help you feel at ease knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you enjoy whatever you need/want to do! I work Monday-Friday, 7:00am-2:30pm. I’m off on weekends, and holidays. So while I’m working during the week, I am not gone for long hours and am able to spend quite a bit of time with them or doing visits, whatever you may need! I’m able to stop in the morning before work and right after work if you need drop in visits. Let me know how I can help! :) I have many references that can back up my quality of care! They can tell you how much I will love them, and take care of them as my own. Making sure you come home to them healthy and happy is what it’s all about! EVERYONE deserves to trust and know that things are taken care of while they aren’t able to be there. They will be safe and well taken care of with me, whatever that looks like. If boarding with me, they are allowed on the furniture and bed to sleep comfortably with me if they choose to. While it is an apartment, there is plenty of room for them to play freely or just lounge. I will keep food and water down at all times (unless you follow a schedule for that). Potty breaks will be given as often as they may need! My home provides a very calm environment, unless it is time to play of course! They have free rein in the apartment while they are with me. Any special accommodations you need? Just let me know and we can make it work!
“A first rate job taking care of my elderly cat. She was fed exactly on schedule and her dietary considerations were met as directed. My pet was played with, cuddled and visited by a conscientious and kind caretaker who I felt confident was respectful of my property. Chris is a treasure.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Round Lake Beach
Hope has taken care of our cat while we have taken multiple trips this year! She is fantastic and I cannot recommend her enough. She is very communicative, kind, and caring. When we have her booked to take care of our cat, I am worry free and able to relax while on trips.
I have a medically fragile senior cat who requires injectable medication. Diane was professional, easy to deal with and listened to instructions. She gave exceptional care to my cat and sent detailed updates. I will be booking her again and would recommend her to others!
Hannah was great! She took excellent care of our cats while we were out of town. She was always quick to respond to messages and checked in regularly which really went the extra mile. My wife and I appreciate her taking time out of her days to make sure our boys were fed and well taken care of. We will absolutely be rebooking Hannah and would highly recommend her!
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.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
