About: I love love love dogs! Being a dog auntie lets me get my dog fix without the commitment! I have had three cats that had been rehomed at least once prior to coming to live with me, so I am a cat autnie too! But dogs (esp. BIG DOGS) have my heart. To get my dog fix, I often care for my friends' dogs, walking, feeding, and pet sitting them. I have lived with, cared for and feel comfortable with a variety of breeds, small and large. My favorites have been the Great Pyrenees and the Black Labs. 🐕‍🦺💙🧡 I work from home and could walk doggos before and after work and on my lunch hour. Happy to work from your place if pet sitting. I have a daughter with autism and I have learned how important it is to see and listen to her and try to understand her needs. I think animals are the same way. They can tell when we aren't paying attention. I try to make sure im connecting with animals in the same way I might with a small person who is seeking my attention.

Aric truly went above and beyond! Not only did he save the day with my late request, he also took fantastic care of my crew (hound, buns, and fish tanks). Little touches like bringing my trash bin back from the curb and buying my dog another cup of yogurt when he ran out shows how much he cares.

Amber was very friendly and asked many questions about my dog. She did exactly what I asked her to do. She took time to bond with my extremely shy dog. I was very impressed that my dog felt comfortable enough to approach Amber and allow Amber hold her during the second visit. That was record breaking for my dog. Amber is a talented pet sitter.

David was so great with our cat, Chester, that we rescheduled with him for our next trip as soon as we got back. Chester is a diabetic cat and David successfully gave him his insulin injections twice a day, every day. He was very friendly (both with us and Chester) and was very easy to communicate with. He always arrived on time and provided great updates and pictures twice a day that made us feel assured that Chester was in good hands! They spend time playing together and getting in some cuddles while David still took care of the insulin injections and everything else that needed done. On an app with so many dog-focused sitters, we are very grateful to have found another cat guy like David to look after Chester!

Jenna did a great job with my cat Chester, who is an old man with kidney and hypertension issues. She was very communicative throughout and was able to get Chester both his oral and injected medicines as needed. He seemed in good spirits when I returned which is a sign he was well cared for! Thanks Jenna!

Aric was absolutely wonderful with my guinea pigs! He is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and a great communicator, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that he genuinely loves animals and takes caring for them seriously. I felt completely comfortable knowing my guinea pigs were in his care, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

David was amazing! We will definitely use him again. He is exceptionally responsive, and a great communicator. We got detailed updates and lots of photos. We had to ask for an additional visit on very short notice and David was very accommodating, and able to help. All in all one of the best Rover experiences.

Xiaotong is an amazing cat sitter. She was very communicative and always kept me in the loop with my cats. I left her some written and verbal care instructions which were all followed perfectly. Her rover cards were very detailed and came with plenty of photos. My cats decided to rummage through a couple of my trash bins, something they have never done before. Xiaotong was very understanding, going above and beyond cleaning up after my cats' mess. I would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Urbana on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 173 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Urbana. 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 with handling special pet needs in Urbana. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% can help with daily exercise

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.
