“Brittany took great care of my cat while out of town! It was clear from the get-go that she’s an organized, responsible pet sitter who loves animals and takes their personalities/routines/preferences into account. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures from each check in, it was reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Brittany and we’ll definitely work with her again!”


About: AVAILABILITY AFTER 5 PM. With more than 10 years of pet care under my belt, I bring a special touch to pet care. What makes me stand out is my knack for love for working with cats and dogs of all ages. When it comes to providing tender care for our furry friends, I've got it covered. I believe in patience, positivity, and tailoring my approach to suit each pet's unique needs. So, if you're looking for someone who'll treat your furry family member like their own, you've found the right sitter! I have experience administering pills and liquid medication by mouth. I live with my husband who also adore pets and can help in the care process as well. I am available every day aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-10 pm. I work remote on Fridays and I usually have more availability that day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or theirs, safety, trust, and comfort are important. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment, equipped with all they need for a happy stay. I have an open grassy backyard and a park within walking distance. In the client's home, I follow their instructions closely, maintaining routines and providing updates to build trust. I prioritize creating a safe and familiar space, ensuring pets feel secure and loved throughout their time in my care.
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve been a professional dog walker since 2023 and a lifelong lover of all animals. As a proud owner of both cats and dogs, my deep, hands-on experience allows me to provide intuitive, highly personalized attention that sets me apart, giving your pets the ultimate comfort and loving care while you're away. Pet care blends naturally into my daily life. With fixed morning, mid-day, and evening rhythms already built around my own pets, caring for yours isn't something I squeeze into a busy day—it's seamlessly built into how my day runs. When you trust me with your dog, their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, loved, and fully cared for while you are away.

I have a possibility to take out your pet as often as needed.
“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!”

“It was so nice to know our Chili Pepper the cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Andrea! Your check in pictures were really nice and gave us peace of mind. First time using Rover and so happy we did.”

“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!”


“Lisa took fantastic care of my boy Frank! She sent me photo and video updates as well as cleaned up any food/litter spillage Frank created. She responded very quickly and I will definitely book her again!”

I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—dogs, cats, and everything in between. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to look after their animals and homes, whether it’s daily check-ins or longer stays while they travel. I’ve handled puppies, senior pets, shy cats, energetic dogs—you name it. I’m reliable, honest, and genuinely love animals. I pay attention to their routines, personalities, and quirks to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help. I’m currently an EMT student at Northwest Community Hospital, and pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m free most days and happy to help—whether it’s dog walking, drop-ins, or overnight stays. As long as I get a couple days’ notice, I’ll make it work! At my home, I have a fully fenced yard and one sweet, friendly black Lab mix who loves having company. I’m happy to keep pets separate if that’s preferred, or let them play together if they’re a good match. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether they’re staying with me or I’m coming to you. In clients’ homes, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and respect your space. I handle everything from walks and feedings to playtime and quiet companionship. I’m reliable, clean, and always make sure pets get the attention they need while you're away.

“Warda is exceptional!!! Hands down the best cat care professional we’ve had. We’ll trust her with all of our pets in the future. She checked on our 19-year-old cat and pilled him twice per day. She played with him, groomed him, and measured his activity. She developed an intricate daily checklist, contacted us with any out of the ordinary info and observations, washed bowls and utensils, took out cat food and litter trash, vacuumed stray litter, and left things neat and organized. Wonderful, responsive communication and planning. We are in awe and were so relaxed during our week away. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how we feel about our experience with Warda.”


“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wheeling
Brittany was prompt with her visits, quick to inquire about any issues that she encountered, and lovely to our four kitties. She stayed after our arranged time slot to ensure one of our cats got his meds, and worked with us when he became a little apprehensive. Overall I would highly recommend her services!

Elizabeth has taken care of Elsa and Mowgli for the second time now, and the experience with Elizabeth has been perfect. She is proactive and good with communication, bith prior to, and during the booking period. We were extremely satisfied with her work and would recommend anyone reading this to trust her with their pets while you're away.
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!

Absolute lifesaver. My cat got tangled in a shopping bag while I was out, and I was panicking. Jason responded immediately, got to my place fast, freed my cat, and kept me updated the whole time. So grateful for his quick thinking in an emergency - can’t recommend him enough!

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.

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.

Maria is a staple in our and our fur babies family circle! She was not only able to come drop in on our cats on late notice, they were new cats in our family and she took amazing care of them! Nothing better than coming home to happy healthy well taken care of fur babies! Thank you as always Maria!!! See you next time! 😀😸😸

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 of Cat Sitting in Wheeling is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 1,826 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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheeling. On Rover:
- 84% 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 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.
