“Amazing and so kind! She noticed water was leaking after a bad storm so she closed off the area to make sure my cats wouldn’t get into it. Super great and communicative, definitely trustworthy.”

“Stephanie was a joy to have taken care of my kitties. I asked for pictures to be sent from each feeding, as one of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin (and I can be a nervous mama around his health!) She sent lots of photos right on time and my cats warmed up to her right away. She was super communicative– asking questions and always responding right away. House was left nice and tidy, and she even offered to put new clean sheets back on the bed when stripping the ones off from her stay. I will definitely be calling Stephanie again!”

About: I bring over 25 years of dedicated experience caring for both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of pet behavior and needs. What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience with specialized medical care. My beloved Shih Tzu, who recently passed away after a long and happy life, required attentive care for severe allergies, dry eyes, and diabetes. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and highly experienced in administering eye drops, oral medications, and routine insulin injections. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave a pet with special medical needs, and I am proud to offer the precise, gentle, and reliable care your furry family member deserves. I work from home and only go into the office once or twice a week for brief 4-hour stretches (typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM). The rest of my time is spent working locally so I can care for my wonderful 7.5-year-old special needs son, handling his school drop-offs and summer camp schedules. This highly flexible routine gives me the perfect opportunity to step away from my desk, stretch my legs, and provide your pups with dedicated neighborhood walks or attentive drop-in visits. Sadly, my beloved dog Rocky passed away in January 2026. This summer, I realized just how much I truly miss our daily walks and the companionship of a dog. While I am not quite ready to bring a new full-time pet into our home, I would love to channel that missing affection into helping busy neighbors by giving your pets all the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are treated like true members of the family in my care. Because my beloved Rocky passed away in January 2026, my home is currently pet-free, meaning your furry family member will get my absolute, undivided attention during drop-ins or walks, with zero risk of conflict with resident animals. Backed by over 25 years of pet care experience, I approach safety with a proactive mindset—strictly adhering to your leashing preferences, double-checking that doors and gates are securely locked, and ensuring your home remains secure. I tailor my visits entirely to your pet's unique personality and energy level. Whether they need a high-energy walk to a local field where they can safely run or simply prefer quiet, comforting companionship on the couch, I treat your home and your pets with the highest level of respect and devotion. To give you ultimate peace of mind while you are away, I will always send you detailed text updates and plenty of photos during every single visit so you can see exactly how much fun we are having!

About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

About: I have always been a cat lover ever since I was little. I have 7+ years of experience personally taking care of cats of all breeds, personalities, and ages. I previously volunteered at the Bolingbrook Animal Shelter, where I provided personalized care and followed the individual routines of cats and kittens. I respect every cat’s boundaries, personality, and comfort level while giving them plenty of love and attention. I can follow your pet’s specific routine, feeding schedule, medications, and care instructions. I also have a pet-friendly space where your furry baby can relax, feel safe, and get comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally in my routine, and I enjoy making time for animals. I am available of Fridays, Saturday and Sunday for pet sitting and my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, playtime, feeding and attention based of each cats needs. I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. Since I provide care in my home, I focus on creating a safe clean, and comfortable environment where you cat can feel at home. I thoroughly sanitize food, water bowls, and litter boxes between stays and follow feeding, treat, medication, and care instructions that you provide. I don't have pets of my own so your cat won't have to adjust to other animals or compete for attention. Your cat will be welcome to explore the house and if they prefer privacy, I can provide a separate, comfortable space for them to relax. Safety is my top priority. Doors and windows will remain securely closed and all windows have screens. I'll also need an emergency veterinarians contact information on hand in case it is ever needed. I'll provide toys and plenty of attention while respecting your cats' personality and boundaries. I will also share pictures and moments of their stay with you while you are away. I'm happy to maintain their usual routine and provide the food and treats you provide so that they can stick to what they're already comfortable with. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away

About: As someone who’s loved my cats and dogs as part of my family, I will go above and beyond to take great care of your pet! My years of volunteering at an animal shelter have given me experience with cats and dogs of all ages with various temperaments and medical needs.

“Alicia is the perfect blend of professional services with a personal touch. She arrived exactly as scheduled for each visit to care for our cat, and thoroughly reported the status of every important aspect of care. In addition, we were very happy to hear of Alicia’s personal observations and interactions with our kitty. She was quickly able to win her trust, which is impressive given that she is a cautious and sensitive cat around new people. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and very highly recommend Alicia’s services!”

About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.

About: I run a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and pet care is at the center of everything I do. I hold a search and rescue dog training certification, which means I bring real behavioral know-how to every walk: reading body language, managing leash reactivity, and helping anxious dogs feel safe in new environments. Whether it's a high-energy pup needing a solid outlet or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I'm background-checked and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can trust your pup is in steady, capable hands. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my business, so dog walks and visits are built into the core of my week rather than squeezed in around something else. I keep a flexible daily schedule that lets me offer consistent walk times your dog can count on, plus room for same-week bookings when plans change. Mornings and early afternoons tend to be my most open windows, and I'm always happy to work with you to find a recurring time that fits your routine. Safety comes first on every walk. I'm background-checked, and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can feel confident handing over your leash. Before a first walk, I always do a meet and greet to get a feel for your dog's temperament, energy level, and any triggers, so I can adjust my approach accordingly, with secure leash handling and close attention to signs of stress or fatigue. In your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors and gates secure and leaving everything exactly as I found it.

About: If you’re looking for a sitter who truly "gets" feline behavior, look no further. My 16-year career is backed by an Animal Science degree and years of hands-on experience in vet hospitals and rescues. Whether it's administering medication, managing senior health, or simply respecting a shy cat’s boundaries, I combine scientific knowledge with a gentle, shelter-tested touch. Your pet’s routine shouldn't change just because you’re away. My mission is to provide care so consistent and attentive that your pets hardly notice a gap in their day. While I am a professional tax preparer by season, my true calling and year-round commitment is the well-being of your animals. I bring the same precision and detail-oriented focus from my professional career to your home, ensuring your pets remain safe, happy, and loved. Expert Care for Your Pets. Absolute Respect for Your Home. Safety is my baseline; comfort is my specialty. Leveraging my Animal Science background, I ensure your pets are monitored with a clinical eye in the safety of their own home. Simultaneously, I treat your property with the same meticulous attention to detail I apply to my professional tax work. You can travel with total confidence knowing your pets are safe and your home is in responsible, expert hands.

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Agnes! She took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away and followed every single instruction to the letter. We absolutely loved getting her regular updates and the great photos she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Agnes was incredibly respectful of our home, and we returned to a happy, relaxed cat. We would rebook with Agnes in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!

It was my first time using Rover and it definitely will not be the last. My pet sitter Jayme was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly organized, punctual, and showed such care and love to Sterling and Silver. Jayme always had a thoughtful recap message, took great pictures, and made my cats feel special and comfortable despite my absence. I am a big fan of Rover because of JAYME! Scott Young

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Western Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Western Springs is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 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 5,869 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Western Springs. 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 Western Springs. 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.
