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: After working at several high quality pet supply companies, I know a great deal about pet nutrition and pet care. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with large dogs, we always had/have German Shepherds, and small dogs, as well as cats. I can take care of seniors, adults, and puppy’s; I have experiencing administering pills, and putting additives into the pets food. I can bring my lifelong pet ownership experience into caring for your lovely pet. I love learning new things about different breeds and different personalities. No pet, like no person, is the same nor should they be treated the same. I am excited to get to know your pet and their unique way of living life! I’ve just moved back to LA from spending 6 years in the United Kingdom, so your pet will be my full focus as I’m not otherwise employed currently. I take care of your pet(s) as if they are my own. I take any special requests seriously and have clients who have used me for years and trust me in their homes. I understand how serious that is, and take respect to the highest level, paring that with safety.
About: I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker and sitter who treats every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. I’m great with different temperaments, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with owners. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I make sure pets are well cared for and owners feel fully at ease. I work in the restaurant business waiting tables at night. So I’m free during the day whenever someone needs me to walk their dog or come over to let them out. Always on time. Or even a little bit early. Very patient willing to walk dogs and let them out when needed. Non aggressive with the pets
“Lauren was the best!! took care of my kitties, snakes, and scorpion!! super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure the babies are well cared for. would definitely book again:)”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. I treat every pup like my own, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, or sweet seniors. I’m also happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and basic reinforcement of good behaviors. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m around animals for most of my days, so caring for pets is a natural part of my routine. My schedule is fairly open and flexible depending on the day, which allows me to accommodate different pets’ needs, routines, and care schedules. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, including regular walks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure they get their energy out and feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions you provide.
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.
“Rachel is great! My dogs can be pretty rambunctious, and she was super patient with them which I really appreciate. I also loved all the updates and photos she sent, as well as being super communicative with her visits.”
“Ariana is our hero! She’s such an angel. It was our first time leaving our cat alone at home for a week. Ariana visited twice a day and was phenomenal. Our cat Dany has a lot of anxiety (just like her mom) so for Dany to fully trust Ariana was so comforting. Ariana was super clean and followed all of my detailed instructions. Dany loved her and we received so many pictures and great communication. So excited we found the perfect cat sitter for the future.”
“We have *never* come home from a trip with our cats so happy and unstressed as they were with Kimberly taking care of them. Even our older, anxious cat who usually hides from all pet sitters was happy to come out and see Kimberly during her visits. I also really appreciated how proactive she was with communications, and how understanding she was about the state of chaos our house was in since we are still moving in.”
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

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Winnetka
Kristen has been wonderful!!! Genuinely! You can really tell that she loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. I just moved to this neighborhood and I’m really glad I met Kristen to hire for pet sitting in the future. Would recommend!!
Ariana is an excellent pet sitter! She dropped in on our cat multiple times while we were on a short trip. She was super reliable, sent lots of pictures, and kept us throughly updated after each visit. Our cat was well taken care of, and we came home to a happy kitty. Will definitely book again!
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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Winnetka on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,600 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

- 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.
