“Sarah did a fantastic job with my two cats. We did 30 minute drop in visits and she was on-time and made sure to take the time to not just check food and water but to give the cats some playtime and attention. One of my cats required extra care and she handled that no problem. Would absolutely book with Sarah again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my family. I have experience with both small and large dogs and have always loved caring for and spending time with them. I especially enjoy being active and going on walks with dogs. I also have seven years of experience training dogs through my local 4-H program, where I developed hands-on experience with training, handling, and building a strong bond with dogs. My lifelong experience with animals and my love for being active make spending time with dogs something I truly enjoy! I’m currently working as a part-time employee for Rover. My available hours are M - F between 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm, and weekends may vary but typically Saturday - Sunday from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm I can be available. I am comfortable with most pet needs such as feeding, checking for fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and crating (if your pet is kenneled). I also make sure your pet has some quality play time during my visits!

About: I’ve grown up taking care of numerous types of animals, primarily cats and dogs. My neighbors, family and friends rely on me for their pet care needs because I treat them as my own, giving them love and attention in addition to their regular feedings and potty needs. I am available on the weekends! On Friday’s, my availability would start after 5pm. I am available all day on Saturdays. Sunday’s I do take care of horses during the day from 9am-3pm; however, I am available before and after for walks and potty breaks. I make your pet’s needs my main priority. If they should make any messes while you are away, I always do my best to clean it up as thought it never happened, so you can come home to a happy fur baby and find your home just the way you left it.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life from big dogs to fluffy cats. I currently have two kitties who are my world, but always grew up with dogs! I have a ton of experience caring for my own pets- dog walking, feeding, cleaning, etc. Animals have my heart and I will love your babies like my own! I work a typical M-F 8-4 job, but am more than happy to make visits before and after work. Weekends are wide open! I am detail oriented when it comes to pet care. I will provide quality time with your pet in addition to ensuring a clean and safe environment!

About: I volunteer at the Anderson Human Society doing doggy days out, and have years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats. I have my own senior cat that i’ve raised for 13 years! Currently I generally work full time mornings and have time in the afternoon evenings for walks and play time! Days off are open for as much time as needed! I have experience with dogs who are boarded during alone time! With the experience of working with shelter dogs, i’ve learned patience works wonders!

About: I worked at a dog kennel/police dog training facility over the summers as a teen so I'm familiar with many different dog breeds. I also grew up with 4 hunting dogs, so I understand high energy dogs and their need to go for walks (or runs!) I'm currently a teacher on summer break so I have plenty of time on weekdays to take your pup on a long walk or play with your cats! I am happy to care your furry friends any way that works best for them and their routine within a safe and familiar environment, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.

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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West Chicago

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Chicago is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,971 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Chicago. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Chicago. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
