About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs for 27 years (though I’m not a certified trainer). My Husky was my first and only friend when I moved to LA. Unfortunately she’s no longer with us but she was always there to cheer me up! In her old age I learned all about administering medications as part of her standard care. So, I’ll be there for your pup the way Barley was there for me. I recently started my own business and am excited for the flexibility it brings. I’m available 7 days a week, so if it’s weekday or weekend away you can count on your pet getting only the best love and care. I have a fully fenced in backyard at my home. Even my escape artist Husky was safe to play without running away. I even have a small, safe play pen on the patio which my indoor cat is obsessed with!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience raising and caring for dogs of many different breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I’ve trained a puppy and understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement that puppy care requires. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a senior dog who lived to 14½, giving me experience with the extra patience, attention, and gentle care older dogs need. I truly treat every pet as an individual and take the time to understand their unique needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, stubborn, or needs a little extra TLC, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I work a 9-5, but can definitely meet the flexibility it takes to care for your pet. I will be happy to keep your pets routine while in my care. I offer walks, trips to the park, and an unconditional amount of love and affection. Every animal in my care will be treated with the love and devotion I’d have for my own.

About: Dedicated pet professional with 6 years of experience. Highly skilled in safe medication administration, advanced canine care, and handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Winnetka
Sanaz was totally reliable. She sent photos for each visit, cleaned my cats’ many litter boxes, and kept things clean (which I don’t even do). When I came back, the water bowls were clean and full and the automatic feeders were filled. Plus my cats liked her! I think one actually has a crush on her.
I was very hesitant about leaving my cats behind during our cross-country family move, but taking them with us would have added even more stress to an already complicated situation. After signing up on Rover, I chose Sabrina because she was conveniently located nearby, had excellent reviews as a star sitter, and offered very reasonable rates. She responded to my messages quickly and was always happy to answer my questions. The week flew by, and thanks to Sabrina, I never had to worry about my kitties. She visited them twice a day, played with them, made sure they had fresh food and water, and gave them their medicine. She even earned the trust of my younger female cat, who is usually very skittish and easily frightened. I highly recommend Sabrina! She clearly loves animals, has a wonderful personality, and is someone you can truly rely on.
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 of Cat Sitting in Winnetka is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 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.

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.

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.
