“This is the second time I used Abigail to take care of Miss Delilah. She was very thorough in her communication and she sent great photos! I felt confident that my beloved cat was in very good hands. I will absolutely use her again the next time I have travel plans.”
“Karina was everything I was looking for. My dog has a lot of special needs due to high anxiety and a rough background. Karina was so accommodating to all her little quirks with giving her space, giving her her medication, and cleaning up her pee pads. Her communication was excellent, and she even washed the forks and cutting board that were used for the medication. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. She was great, and I'd certainly use her again.”
“Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.”
“Thank you for taking wonderful care of my fur babies. Brianna is very kind and visited to take notes of my cats personalities. She loves animals and is an amazing pet sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area 😊”
“Thea was so meticulous and empathetic to my cat’s needs during my time away. She also provided adorable photos, videos and notes. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great catsitter or dogsitter!”
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Jennifer responded to our last minute request. She was very professional, offered to do a meet and greet with us before booking. She took diligent notes and was very communicative the entire time we were gone. Spent time looking for and treating our kitties who were hiding. Would book her again!”
“This is the 3rd time I have had Denis and Nikki watch our pets and if they are available, we would never consider anybody else. They take great care in what they do and it shows. They not only take excellent care of our animals but they make sure the house is ok also, taking out and back garbage, bringing in packages on the doorstep and mail, etc. They are excellent and our family would highly recommend. Andrew S.”
“Gabrielle has consistently been so wonderful with our dog and cat! We're so thankful for how well she cares for them and communicates with us. We absolutely recommend her!!”
“Scott has taken care of my cat twice now and does an excellent job. He feeds and spends time with Quinn and administers her insulin shots since she is diabetic. We are so thankful he takes such good care of our girl!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, always ensuring they lived happy, healthy lives. Whenever a family member, friend, or neighbor needed help, I was their trusted go-to for their beloved pets. I'm easygoing and adaptable, and I'll go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident in my care. I currently work a flexible job, which allows me to schedule my time around any pet's needs. I'm always up bright and early usually to my cat meowing for breakfast so I'm ready and available for walks or mealtimes whenever they're needed I spend quality time with my family dogs and give them plenty of love. I'll play with them until they're tired, running around the yard or playing fetch. My older family dog loves walks, so I take her on night walks regularly. My family cats are more laid-back and love cuddles, while my kitten, who currently lives with me, is a ball of energy and endless fun.
“Murphi w as well cared for by Angie. I never worry about her when she is in Angie's care. She is personable, respectful in our home and easy to work with. Definitely book with Angie. You won't regret it..”
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life, including two currently. I spent several years volunteering at an animal shelter and a few years working at a vet. I work full time during the week and I volunteer at an animal shelter on weekend mornings, so I am available to see your pups on weekends after 11am. I have two dogs and we go for walks at the park and the forest preserve. I can walk your dogs in your neighborhood or at a local park.
“Natalia did an excellent job looking after my cat Shweta while I was gone on vacation for Labor day weekend! Shweta became quite acclimated with Natalia and I look forward to booking her again for Shweta in the future! Highly recommend!”
About: I have 6 years of experience as a dog walker and sitter in Chicago. I’ve loved it since the moment I started and will almost never turn down an opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I can handle any breed or size of dog, and am very knowledgeable in dogs’ temperament. I’m experienced in handling multiple dogs at once on walks as well. I have taken care of all ages of dogs, aiding in puppy training to giving medications to senior dogs! I can handle almost anything asked and will always let you know if I’m not comfortable with a task asked of me. My number one priority is the well being and safety of every animal I meet! I’m currently on a very open schedule and have a lot of flexibility. I can work with almost any time as long as I am given advance notice. When caring for dogs outside of the home, I always have them leashed and will never do anything off leash. If a client has a suitable outdoor space I will let them off but always keep them strictly monitored. I know how important the bond between a pet and their owner is and I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet!

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.
Jason is always reliable, caring, and quick to respond. He’s been taking care of my cat for a while now and does a great job. He’s able to capture great photos of her during his visits as well! When my husband and I are in need of a pet sitter, we know we can trust Jason to provide excellent care.
This is the second time I booked Elizabeth to take care of our cats. She is extremely thorough in her notes, takes several photos, and is extremely kind and dependable. She also goes above and beyond to make sure packages are taken in, etc without me even asking! I can’t recommend her enough! I look forward to rebooking with her again next time I travel!!
Karina is an amazing person. She made a point of visiting my cat beforehand, who is blind, to understand his needs. On our first meeting, my cat felt comfortable and rested his head on her, asking for affection… people's energy doesn't lie. Karina followed all the instructions and sent me photos and videos every day. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and loving, Karina needs to be your choice. I will definitely hire her again!
Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.
Sarah was wonderful with all of my pets. She had her hands full and handled it like a Champ! I was very comfortable with Sarah and would recommend her highly! She is amazing and I couldn’t be more appreciative! She gets 100 stars in my book! Very atttentive and loving! Thank you for taking care of all 6 of the animals while we were gone! Well worth it!
Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wheeling on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,737 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 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 Wheeling. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
