“Kristen was an absolute dream. She took such good care of our kitten babies. She went above and beyond for them, as well as being very flexible with anything that came up. 10/10”
“Lily was very attentive to my cats and tuned to their needs ( meaning they got xtra treats! When they wanted :-). And they liked her and bonded right away with her, that says a lot. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Lily”
“Jenna was great! She took good care of our pups, dealt with an unruly, energetic 9 month old Lab mix along with our older Chihuahua mix, and the messes they made. Kept us informed and sent pictures at each visit.”
“Luz was an excellent care taker for our baby boy! She was very detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures! Her knowledge of caring for dogs definitely came in handy since our boy suffers from a bit of anxiety. She was able to asses when he was a little nervous and give his medication when needed. Our corgi can very hyper and insistent, so he needs someone with a calming and centered personality to bring him some peace and that's definitely what Luz brings to her caring service. He enjoyed her undivided attention and walks. We 100% would book again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their hyper but sweet dog 🐶 ❤️. Thank you Luz!”
“First time using Arianna and was a great experience! Very good with my large doggo and communication was excellent as well. Will be using Arianna as my main sitter going forward.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and I took a job as a kennel attendant at a rescue, but unfortunately they closed their brick and mortar location to go back to a foster based rescue. I have gained experience working with many types of dogs. From large and small breeds, to selective dogs, to puppies, and my personal favorite, special needs and senior babies. I currently lost my job at a dog rescue due to the building closing down to focus on a foster based rescue, so my availability at this moment is open I can provide love, exercise and enrichment as well as discipline, crating, and spoiling your dog. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my home so I would need to come to you.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! MESSAGE ME! Hello! I’m Lindsay, known as the "Cat Whisperer", serving the South Suburbs and NWI. While many sitters offer general pet care, I specialize in providing a high-level, intuitive experience for cats (and their avian or farm friends!) who require a more sophisticated touch. My home is a true sanctuary, shared with five cats, chickens, and a peacock. This lifelong immersion in nature has given me a unique shorthand with animals—especially those who are shy, "spicy," or highly sensitive to their environment. Certified Professional & Medical Specialist I bring peace of mind to pet parents who need more than just a food-and-water check-in. My background includes: Red Cross Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR: I am trained to handle emergencies with a calm, capable head. Advanced Medical Care: I am highly proficient in administering medications (pills, liquids, or specialized treatments) and following strict veterinary protocols. Life-Stage Expertise: I have extensive experience with kitten development and birthing, as well as providing compassionate, dignified care for senior and end-of-life cats. Professional Network: I maintain active affiliations with multiple local vets and have trusted connections for in-home end-of-life services should you ever need that support. A Calming, Wellness-Focused Approach Beyond the clinical side, I am a practitioner of calming energy work. I use gentle, non-invasive techniques to lower stress levels and promote a sense of safety. This "whole-creature" approach is a game-changer for anxious pets who struggle when their owners are away. Whether you are in the South Suburbs or Northwest Indiana, I am here to be your pet's advocate. I don't just "watch" your pets—I look after their physical health and emotional spirit as if they were my own.
About: I worked in an animal hospital for a couple of years. I have watched furbabies (cats and dogs) of family and friends for many years and even have office dogs at my job! I am mainly available during the weekends but can occasionally do evenings during the weekdays after my full time job. I work from home during Fridays so I am fully available then too. I would prefer to pet sit in an environment that your furbaby is already familiar with aka your home! I’d also be happy to take them (dogs) to a park or trail for them to explore as I love taking long walks.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for them! I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, including my current black Labrador, and at 25 years old, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. In college, I helped care for five different cats belonging to my roommates over four years, giving me experience with feline companions as well. What sets me apart is my dedication to meeting each pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior cats, and senior dogs, and I’m skilled at administering medications and following precise feeding instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment time, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to continue any established training routines. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or ensuring they feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d be thrilled to provide loving care for your pets! I work full-time but am passionate about caring for pets in my free time. I’m available for sittings and check-ins on weekends and weekday evenings after 4 PM. I aim to provide flexible and reliable care to fit your schedule and your pet's needs. I prioritize safety and trust in all my pet care services. I’ll carefully follow your instructions to maintain your pet’s routine and ensure they feel secure in their home environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.
About: Special Education Teacher with a love of animals. Patient, kind, understanding, flexible. Originally from Chicago, from cats, to squirrels, to dogs, to hummingbirds, to bunnies, to bearded dragons, I have the heart for sending animals in need to a rescue center, and/or homing. Animals deserve love and care, no matter their personality. I strive to respect you as a pet parent and your baby, following owner directions and askings. Just like my students, I treat every animal as if they are my own. Safety is my top priority, as well as communication and transparency. Currently open for the Thanksgiving week and weekend because of being a teacher. After Dec 1 I will be available before 6:30am, evenings, and weekends. I have a degree in general and special education and am very patient with animals and like to know everything the owner can tell me, and respect the animal. Having an antisocial pet with trauma, I respect her and love her as much as my others because she deserves it. I am very careful and take care of animals as if they were my own, just like I do with the children in my classroom.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I love to treat everyone with respect and kindness and I will treat your babies the same! I am available in Chicago and the south suburbs. I am currently working full time! However, I have time to play with your pups on weekends when I’m off and weekdays when I’m off work! I love pups and I will take care of them like they are my own!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for the past 12 years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from daily walks and runs to overnight stays. I recently relocated from Milwaukee to Chicago and would love the opportunity to meet some new furry friends in the city! I’m excited to spend my free time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise while their owners are away. I work from home full time and am available throughout the week for daily support and overnights. Additionally, on the weekends, I am available to support as well. I have no animals currently so am available to care for your family pet at yours or mine. I am happy to do daily runs or overnights.
About: Hi! I'm Carla, your fur baby's new pet pal. I'm new to Rover, but not new to petsitting! With a lifelong love of animals, caring for pets isn't just something I do. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I believe pets are a part of the family. So, I treat them like they're part of my own, with patience, playfulness, and care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens. I also take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique personality. Whether you need someone to check on your furry friend or just keep your fur baby company, I'm here to provide lots of love, play, and petting. I know how important your fur baby is to you as well as how important it is to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy until you return. So, get ready to receive daily hilariously cute pet pics and return to a home just as clean and inviting! I work virtually throughout the week during the day and this allows me to spend as much time as possible with your fur baby. It also provides me with quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule and I'm off of work on Sundays too. I like to take it slow when first meeting them and I let them come to me and get my scent. I administer necessary medications if administered in food. I also make sure all doors and windows are locked so the fur babies can't accidentally open any by jumping up on it. I also take great care when arriving and leaving so that they can't run out of the door, just in case they're a little escape artist. Oh! And I will be taking daily cute pics of your pet to keep you updated and at ease knowing they're having a good time.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
