About: Hi! I’m Gwen! Previously, I worked at a doggy day care that would have upwards of 20 dogs at a time staying there. Additionally, I also would walk packs, my personal record being around 6 or 7 doggies in a single walk. My biggest priority is always ensuring the safety of whatever dog I walk or am around, same for any kitty. I would love to be able to provide care to your animals :) My schedule is open Monday through Friday! I offer routine dog walks along with daily house check ins for any doggy or kitty that needs it!! I recognize the absolute importance of safety for any dog or cat. In my experience, I have never had any animal that was put in harms way and I will continue to always ensure that your dog or cat is always 100% safe. I love building trust with doggies and kitties, making sure I give them the space and patience to become accustomed to me!

“Becky was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Lucy. While we were out of town for a few days, she stopped by on a daily basis to keep Lucy happy by feeding and playing with her, and made sure we were kept up to date through pictures and updates. Seeing that Lucy was happy and playing really helped to ease my worries about leaving her and made me excited to see her again! Becky was also very communicative with us about our plans and how she could help make things easier. Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be hiring Becky again!”

“Sarah took care of our cat for four days at our house while we were away. He has to be given medication at certain times during the day and also loves human attention. Sarah was caring and responsible, spent time hanging out with him, and made sure he got his meals and medicine at the right times. She also checked in with us, asked good questions, and responded quickly when we checked in with her. We hope to hire Sarah again, and highly recommend her for petsitting and housesitting.”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

“For anyone looking for a sitter go ahead and just hire Jacqueline now! Jacqueline dropped everything to come and meet my cat and then take over watching her for 10 days when our previous sitter cancelled at the very last minute. She truly loves animals and was so happy to take care of my cat! She provided amazing detailed daily feedback on my kitty, was immediately responsive to any messages I sent her, and really just made me feel that my cat was in great hands when I was away. I can’t recommend her more! Absolutely hire her now!”

About: 🐾 I’m not your average pet sitter—I’m your pet’s new BFF! With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I understand every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I provide personalized care, whether your pup needs fun walks, extra attention, a consistent routine, or senior care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐶💕 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—not just a job. I make sure pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for through consistent attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability from 7 AM–6 PM for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’ll tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs while keeping their routine happy and consistent. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I respect each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences while providing the attention, playtime, and comfort they’re used to. I also prioritize safety by keeping their environment secure and free of hazards. Communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities!

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had pets since I was 5 years old. I currently have two cats who I am the primary care giver. My late dog, Mara (a black lab), became diabetic when she was 11. For the last 3 years of her life, I administered her insulin shots twice a day. From March 2019-March 2020, I volunteered at CARE Skokie and have watched friend’s cats and dogs over the years while they were away. Animal welfare means a lot to me and I understand the importance of providing consistent and loving care. I would love to have the opportunity to be of service to you and your four-legged family member(s)! I recently resigned from my job in Wealth Management and am focusing on doing things that are more fulfilling and I love animals. I am currently working part time at a local garden shop and have a flexible schedule that allows me time to tend to your pet(s) as needed! I grew up with a dog and have two cats at home who I am the primary care giver for. I am an advocate for all animals to be well taken care of and understand the importance of their needs being met through consistency and loving care.

About: Why do I do what I do? Because there's no feeling like receiving that first tail wag, head bump, or slobbery kiss. My calling is to advocate for the ones who can't do it themselves and to care for them. Having 6 cats and some reptiles of my own and being a Veterinary Technician is what my life consists of and I love it. Being a Veterinary Technician aids me in many ways while pet sitting. Being able to read animals body language and understand their ways of communicating allow me to bond and build trust with my pet friends. I'm comfortable with all breeds, temperaments, special needs, and feline friends(spicy ones too). Building that bond with all my furry friends is what brings joy to my soul. Making sure every pet is happy, healthy, and feels safe are my main priority, always! I have the luxury of creating my own schedule so fortunately I am very flexible. Lately I have been sitting, walking, and doing drop-ins on a more regular basis. I do have a part-time job, but that schedule is made according to my business schedule. Pet care comes first! It's all about your pets safety and comfort thats my main priority. All of my services will be done in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your pets. I am more than happy to do your daily routines as you would and care for every pet as if they are my own.

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!

Abby has watched our three cats multiple times at this point, and we could not recommend her enough. The latest series of visits was over a week while we took a trip to Disney, where we received plenty of photos of each cat alongside thorough updates of Abby diligently keeping them to their normal routines and giving them lots of attention. We had an initial worry prior to the trip since one of our cats ended up needing twice-daily medicine, but Abby took care of it no problem. Truly the best sitter on this platform!

Gabrielle was a wonderful sitter for the week that I had her drop in on my 2 cats. My cats are 16 and 13 and are definitely in house cats. One is friendly and the other is skittish and shy. One needed meds. She visited them and gave daily feedback and sent pictures. She also administered the meds, fed them and cleaned the litter. She even watered my large plant. She exceeded my expectations. I will use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Wheeling on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 5,752 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wheeling. 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.

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 .

  • 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.
