“We cannot thank Allison enough! We have so much peace of mind taking a night out. The care and attention paid to the pups, along with the updates and pics, was amazing! We’ll definitely be asking for more nights out!!”
“Jazz was so very awesome. This was the first time we used Rover and she was a definite awesome choice for our cats. We had a video call before to discuss everything and make sure we both knew what was to be expected. I got a text and photos and video of her visit with the cats, so my mind was more at ease. We will definitely recommend and rebook Jazz 😊”
“Brandon provided exceptional service, and I would highly recommend him. He went above and beyond to ensure our pet, Bruno, was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Despite the short notice, Brandon made himself available, which allowed us to proceed with our trip when we thought it might not be possible. He checked on Bruno in our home, and we felt completely comfortable and confident having him there. We are very grateful to have found Brandon and would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.”
“Artiss was absolutely amazing! As a cat mom, finding someone I can genuinely trust to care for Chicago means everything to me. Chicago isn’t just a pet, she’s family, and Artiss made me feel completely comfortable knowing my baby was in such good hands. She was incredibly attentive and communicated with me throughout the day, sending updates, pictures, and videos of Chicago. I can’t even begin to explain how much stress that took off my mind! Being able to see how Chicago was doing and knowing she was being cared for with such love and attention allowed me to relax and not spend the day worrying about her. It’s one thing to find someone who will watch your pet, but it’s another to find someone who understands how much your baby means to you and goes the extra mile to give you peace of mind. Artiss did exactly that! I’m beyond grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation. She’s definitely someone I would trust with Chicago again! ❤️”
“Elizabeth is beyond an amazing pet sitter! She truly cares about your pet and is greatly knowledgeable as she has past experience in the field. She is trustworthy and is great with communication! I am so happy we found her to help with our puppy! Would absolutely recommend to others!”
“Debbie was fantastic. Looks like our miniature golden doodle “Princess” adopted Debbie. The picture of Princess laying on the couch with Debbie by her says it all. I highly recommend her and will ask for her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Kara did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and two cats while I was out of town. It was such a relief knowing my animals were in great hands! They were all well cared for, and I especially appreciated the extra thoughtfulness of bringing in my mail while I was away. Reliable, responsible, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.
About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.
“Finn has been absolutely fantastic with my pup Bowser! Very flexible, clear communication, and attentive!! Bowser is high anxiety so having someone that he’s super comfortable with gives me all the confidence!!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and more. Dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet. I currently work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to your pets! My schedule gives me ample availability for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the care, attention, and love they deserve while you're away! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions provided. From walks and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I make sure every pet receives plenty of love and attention. I also value communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands!
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 used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,587 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thornton. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
