About: We’re a friendly, reliable married couple with 26 years of combined pet care experience, offering personalized, loving care for your furry family members. Our services include daily walks, playtime, pop-in visits, and doggy playdates or daycare. We share our home with our 5-year-old Brittany Spaniel, who’s well-socialized and gets along with nearly every dog she meets. Whether your pup needs a fun day with friends or just a little extra love while you’re away, we’re here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and right at home. Pet care is a full-time part of our lives right now, which means we have plenty of time to give each client’s pet the attention, care, and love they deserve. Our flexible schedule allows us to be fully present for every visit—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. We treat every animal like family and make their well-being a top priority in our daily routine. In our home, we offer a safe and engaging environment with a fully enclosed front and backyard where dogs can play and explore. We share our space with our 4-year-old Brittany Spaniel, who is well-socialized and loves the company of dogs of all sizes. We don’t crate dogs unless they are already crate trained and their crate is provided by the owner. We spend plenty of time playing, interacting, and attending to each pet’s needs based on their unique personality and comfort level. When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we provide the same personalized attention—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. We make it a priority to understand each animal’s temperament and routine so they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets like dogs and cats while they’re gone and follow their instructions on when to walk, feed, and play with them. My schedule is currently free since I am a student and it is summer so I’m on break meaning I have time to tend for all of your animals needs! I have a big backyard where your pets can run around in to their hearts content. It is enclosed with a gate so they won’t be able to run out.
“Sanaz took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for two weeks. She visited every day to feed and check on them, and she consistently sent photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while traveling. She was reliable, responsible, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I would definitely book Sanaz again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of different animals along 15 years like: dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. With my years of experience you get gentle and responsible care for your fur babies. They will be well taken care of like my own. When I’m not caring for seniors, I’m caring for people’s fur babies. Looking after others has always been my passion and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d want for my own family. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, and play time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure your home is left just as I found it. my goal for both you and your pets to have a complete parade of mind while you are away
“Mona saved the day when I had to be away from my two girls, Bella and Sofia. I wasn’t able to walk and feed them on time, so Mona stepped in. I had peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. They absolutely love her! I will be booking her again!”
“Ariana, no words can explain the gratitude my pup and I have towards Ariana! Great experience! Kept me updated with photos and words after each visit! Always on time which is very important to me since I’m leaving my pup alone… even accepted an additional visit since I was running behind getting back in town! Thanks again! Would recommend and book again”
“I had a great experience with Anna. I was comfortable leaving my 2 dogs with her while I was traveling. She was taking good care of them, made each visit on time and kept me updated about everything.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since i was a teenager. I have walked all sizes of dogs and taken care of all types of cats. I am a cat owner myself of a senior cat who is 17 that i have had since he was a kitten and a 2 year old tuxedo cat both of who are adorable. I love all animals. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible. I am looking to take on pets as i love animals and have time to help care for them right now I will ensure the pets are fully fed and taken care of. I will follow any specific instructions and give updates through the day. Your pets are in good hands.
About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.
“Kimberly has been very kind and is a great pet care giver. She knows what to do as far making your pet feel very comfortable with love and attention. Thank you Kim for taking care of our 6 year old cat Honey 😊”
About: Neighbors, family and friends can always count on me for dog sitting with a simple food or water, attention, play time and lastly walks around the neighborhood I currently work part time and my job gives me a flexible schedule, so i have plenty of time! i’m available for walks around your neighborhood and even some play time at home My services includes me going to the clients house feeding, taking out to use the restroom, and engaging with the pet. Depending on the service I can check in multiple times a day and update the clients by sending pictures or videos. I also offer walking services for pets.
About: My family has owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don’t think there has been a single day in my life where I didn’t own a pet or have responsibility for one. Including the Marines under my charge. Animals. Seriously, though… Pets love me. I am also a firm believer in following instructions to a T. People are often surprised when I ask to meet their dog, they tell me that the dog is skittish or afraid, and then the dog walks slowly up to me like they’ve known me forever and then we’re best friends. I feed my two cats, Chief and Cosmos, daily at 8am and 8pm. Cosmos requires special dietary food, so my wife and I bought chip-specific feeders for each cat. I also make sure they stay physical with my fishing rod toys, as well as ensure clean facilities for the… you know. It all comes down to showing them love, providing for them, and protecting them. I treat my two cats like they were my own kids. We don’t deserve their love if we can’t give it to them. It’s inhumane.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Winnetka
Sanaz was great! She communicated regarding her arrival, departure, and everything in between. Sanaz was very gentle and respectful of my fur baby’s space but still engaged her during the drop in visits. I would recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!!
Philip and Lauren were great! They dropped in at the scheduled times took care of everything as we had agreed. We received pics and vids of Lucky so we knew he was fine and messages keeping us up to date. This was our first time using Rover and will definitley be repeat customers. I would recommend Philip and Lauren without hesitation!!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.
Caira was wonderful! She was very sweet and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She even took the time to meet my cat beforehand, which I greatly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after. I would happily book with her again.
We are so happy we found Cecilia to take care of our two cats. It was a huge relief to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in good hands. Cecilia was super responsive to messages, very reliable and consistent with time, and she even managed to get our very shy rescue cat come out to say hello! The photos she sent every day made us smile and we knew the cats were happy based on their behavior. We would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking Cecilia again next time we travel!
Lexi was super communicative with her post-visit, so I really was able to feel comfortable in knowing that my Lulu was being taken care of. I feel confident that when I leave for a longer trip, my kitty will be getting the care and attention she needs with Lexi.

As of August 2026, there are 7,492 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Winnetka. 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 Winnetka. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
