About: I have two dogs of my own that I love like they’re my children. Pepper is a 8 year old boxer and Rosie is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees mix. I’ve also fostered dogs for a local rescue for about a couple years. I am a full-time teacher, but I have plenty of time to care for your pets after 4p.m. and on weekends. I’ll have more availability during my breaks from school. I have two dogs that love making new friends. I also have space to crate your dogs. We also love taking walks in the mornings.

Mary Ann did a great job for our first time with Rover. She was reliable, timely and did a great job with our cat, Pepe. Loved the pictures, the updates and overall, she filled all of our needs and expectations. So glad we found her!

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.

Ben was great taking care of our cat with his medications and visits while we were gone for the week! Our cat was in a great mood when we returned and we relaxed while out of town know he was taken care of! Would definitely like to use his services again!

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry loved ones while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m happy to help with feeding schedules, routines, medications (if needed), and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. I offer loving, reliable care in your home, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and house checks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and provide the dependable care they deserve! I offer flexible scheduling for pet care visits and can work with pet owners to find times that fit their pets’ routines. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make every effort to provide dependable care and keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits. I am available for scheduled daytime visits and can discuss specific needs, routines, and availability with each client. Your pets’ safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide calm, dependable care. I care for pets by treating them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. I believe pets do best when they have a consistent routine, a safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I make sure pets are fed according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, a clean space, and time for play, attention, and comfort. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or energy levels so I can communicate any concerns quickly. With cats especially, I understand the importance of respecting their space, earning their trust, maintaining litter box routines, and providing gentle interaction based on their personality. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to pay close attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and recognize when something may not be right. I understand how important it is to communicate clearly and provide updates so you know your pets are safe and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Taylorville. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
