I was nervous to leave our rescue cats which we’d only had for a couple of months. Two weeks is a long time! Sarah did a great job and played with them every day. Will definitively call her again.

Evelyn stepped up to provide care for my two cats last minute. She was great with them both. I appreciate her constant communication and check-ins with pictures. Will definitely try to book her next time I’m needing someone to look after my animals!

We’ve used Doreen twice now and always feel confident that our boys are in good hands. One of our cats needs pills twice a day so we need someone with some skill and Doreen fits the bill perfectly. I came home to clean litter boxes and happy cats!

We were very happy to have Amelia check in on our two dogs while we were away for a week. We asked her to come mid-day to walk them because my son didn't get home til late. She added daily pictures and gave me updates, also answered any of my questions right away. She was always punctual and reliable. I would hire her again!

Amy is wonderful with our cats and they seem very comfortable with her. She always spends time playing with them. And she always seems to get the best photos of them, too! I've got some great shots! My babies are family, and we consider Amy part of the family, too!

Stephanie is wonderful! She is very flexible. I needed her an extra day and she had no problem helping me out. She loves my little Luigi already and I'm sure he loves her because he behaves so well with her. So I'm told! I felt very comfortable when I met her. She brought her son with and Luigi took to both of them right away. My dog told me everything I needed to know about her right then and there. Thank you Stephanie and Rover. I feel at ease when I am away from home having Stephanie taking care if my boy! ❤

Kellie handled our four senior kitties with ease. Came home to everything in its place and clean. She even got our kitty Koona to finish her meals (she had been not eating for a day before we left). I could tell by the pics the kitties were happy. Thank you Kellie!

Kamron was a wonderful sitter. We needed a sitter last minute after our other one never showed up, and she was more than willing to step up! Our dog Lyric loved being with her too, as she was really attentive to him. She also gave us great updates, eliminating any doubts or worries we had! <3

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work from home Monday through Thursday, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I occasionally have an in-person meeting, but I’m typically only away for an hour or two at most. I work in person Friday evenings and Saturdays, so my availability is primarily Sunday through Friday afternoon. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet lots of love and care while keeping them comfortable with their normal routine! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I offer a variety of pet care services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, overnight care, medication administration (when needed), litter box cleaning, and of course, lots of love and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I'll gladly send photo and video updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. I've spent many years caring for my own pets as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. Through those experiences, I've learned how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually so I can provide care that matches their unique personality. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I have availability during Sundays, weekdays and most evenings, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules. I never want a pet to feel rushed or overlooked, so I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave home knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to building a lasting relationship with both you and your pet!

About: I'm located in Sycamore, IL and am familiar with the surrounding area. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for most of my life, from puppies to senior sweethearts. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel right at home with me. Your dog will be treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs. On each visit I can spend 30 minutes or a couple of hours, even overnight - whatever your fur baby needs. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, care, and attention they so richly deserve. I'm happy to spend a quick 30 minutes, a few hours, or overnight - whatever your fur babies need! Some holidays are available, but do fill up quickly. I will provide your pet with the same care and consideration that you do. I'll make sure they not only have their food, water, and bathroom breaks, but plenty of playtime, walks, and love on the schedule you wish them to have. Keeping their routine as close to normal is my goal while your pets are in my care.

Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.

About: I know how important my dog's well-being and daily routine is to me, and I would love to help keep your dog in their routine! I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am currently available for animal care! Available on weekdays, weekends, for stop-ins during the work day, or over weekends. Happy to continue care with boarding or sitting. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Virgil

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,562 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Virgil. 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 Virgil. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
