“My husband and I have booked Vivian so many times we’ve lost count. She’s our favorite & our dog Phoenix’s too! :) we love how thorough she is and how well she keeps us in the loop about what’s going on while she cares for him!”
“Cristina was excellent- conscientious about any special needs or behavior quirks for both my cat and small dog. She was on time for all visits and gave my animals lots of care and affection. Her notes and photos made me feel assured that my buddies were in great hands while I was away.”
“Paula did a great job with our two babies. We loved that she came onboard at the very last minute to help us. I tipped her, in gratitude, at the beginning. She’s terrific!!”
“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Isabella was great with both my small dog and frisky cat. She gave each of them plenty of attention and paid attention to their quirky personalities. She was very conscientious and included in her notes each visit, her observations about my house including noting a small ant infestation which I appreciated!”
“Awesome sitter!! Michael watched my cat Conan for 10 days with little notice given beforehand and did an amazing job! Conan loved spending time with Michael and looked happy and well cared for when I returned. Michael followed all my instructions to a tea and cleaned up all the cat bowls and dishes. He sent me photos while I was away and made me feel like Conan was well cared for. Thanks Michael and I will book him again!”
About: I have had various cats and dogs over the years, including dogs I have owned for 8 years and a cat. Both my dogs are old and I’m familiar with caring for old dogs, and one takes medication twice a day and is disabled, so I am comfortable with taking care of disabled pets. Also comfortable for taking care of multiple animals in one home is needed, and I have previous experience in this. I currently do not have a day job, and will therefore have lots of time to dedicate to animal care! I am happy to be as involved and present as needed to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I will care for your pet in your home by being very mindful of them, their favorite spots, and where to find the necessities for my stay there. I will make sure that even though your pet misses you, we will have as much fun as possible in the meantime!
“Mary went above and beyond to make Piper feel comfortable and taken care of while we were away. Piper is pretty timid around new people, but Mary has taken the time to bond with her and now she is eager to see her whenever she comes. We would highly recommend Mary for any Pet sitting needs.”
“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for family and friends’ dogs while also attending dog training classes to better understand their needs and behavior. As the proud owner of two very spoiled cats, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and reliability I give my own. I currently work full-time (9-5) which gives me flexibility to perform pet care before and after work, as well as the weekends! I have my own car so transportation is never a problem I am very comfortable caring for pets in the home and love to take dogs on walks. I have experience with most domesticated animals and am willing to learn how yours wants to be cared for.
“Elena was fantastic! Elena watched our two pets (Guinea Pigs) while we were out of town. Both pets are recent rescues and they both warmed up to Elena right away. We are very pleased. Elena is very friendly, respectful, great communication, and knowledgeable. We had peace of mind knowing out pets where in great hands.”
About: Every animal I meet becomes family and will always be treated and loved that way. Volunteered at many shelters to help train and socialize dogs. I am even more familiar with cats and how to care for them! I am a stay at home mom and have open availability if your pet and you are comfortable with your pet around a child. I understand completely the importance of security with animals so if you are unsure or prefer not, I will be fully available fridays- mondays all day, then can workout a schedule on Tuesday - Thursday! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs at home that I have personally and trained and care for daily. Also a 75 gallon fish tank with fish and snails! I have a fenced in yard and all my rooms have baby gates so pets can’t get out of sight! I am reliable and will show up for your pet and their schedule. I have knowledge and daily experience with animals that need medicine or special care.
About: I grew up in a big family , we always had pets from dogs-hamsters! And we took care as if they were part of the family . I am compassionate, and I would love your animals and care for them and treat them with kindness as if they were family. As a mom of 5 older kids, I’ve gotten really good at balancing routines and staying organized. Now that they’re more independent, I have lots of free time in my day to dedicate to caring for pets, giving them attention, exercise, and a reliable schedule. I did have 3 cats and 1 dog at one time before. They still are part of the family they live with family members and I visit them time to time and they come to my house as well. I love walking dogs and taking care of animals that are only comfortable in your home. I am a trust worthy person when it comes to someone trusting me in their home. Clients should know that their home and their pet are well taken care of and respected.
“Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.
About: I've had dogs growing up, currently have 2 dogs back home and my roommate has a cat here in my dorm. I love both and have walked my older dog since I was a little kid. I am a full time student but am always looking for things to do between, before or after classes. I'd be sure to be avaliable weekends and any days I don't have class. I can always go visit to take care of your animal(s), while I cannot offer assistance in my residence, I will always help out by walking or making frequent visits.

Isabella was great with both my small dog and frisky cat. She gave each of them plenty of attention and paid attention to their quirky personalities. She was very conscientious and included in her notes each visit, her observations about my house including noting a small ant infestation which I appreciated!
Cristina was always prompt and carried out the requested responsibilities for care of our cat. She shared notes about him and sent pictures. Our cat is not the easiest to interact with and she approached him with the same enthusiasm and care as a cat she would own. I highly recommend Cristina as we will undoubtedly use her again.
Grace is kind, calm, reliable, and communicative. She took the time to play with our cat during every visit, took care of the litter boxes and feedings, and handled some other household things while we were away for the week. Cinnamon quickly came out of her shell and administered many a biscuit and cuddle :D

The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Chicago on Rover is $16.8 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 West Chicago. On Rover:
- 91% 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 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.
