“Heather is such a wonderful cat sitter! This was our second time having her do drop in visits for our 3 cats. She does a great job communicating and we love the pictures she sends. Our cats are happy and aren't anxious at all when we come home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her services! Thank you, Heather!”

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of experience dog and cat sitting. I recently moved back to Crystal Lake from Nashville and would love to help care for your pets while you're away! I have three cats and two puppies of my own, so I’m super comfortable around animals of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just chilling on the couch, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My dogs love beach walks, hiking trails, and anything else adventurous and enriching-we’d love to bring your dog along! I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and messages so you know your pup is doing great! I am available Monday-Thursday after 1 pm and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all day! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have a huge unfenced yard where my dogs love to play. I have two friendly puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night. Otherwise my puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!

About: Ive always grew up with dogs and cats. When they're around me they must get spoiled I cannot resist! I have a separate room that any animal is more than welcome to stay in incase they prefer being alone vs getting along with other animals. Dogs i can take anytime and Cats are more then welcome to stay for days as there is a separate room if needed, a spare litter box and plenty of extra cat food bowls! If given the opportunity to take care of your baby, I would treat it as my own! Spoil it and be sure to make sure it has everything it needs and make it feel at home even when it is not at its usual home!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid but a few years ago, I started to help my boyfriend in bathing, feeding, walking, and taking care of his dog. Since then, I have also started watching dogs for my friends and family members when they need assistance. I am currently available all day, any day to take care of pets as I work remotely and have flexibility in my day to day schedule. I would care for pets in my home by spending time with them, feeding them, walking them, and making sure that they have fun for the duration of their stay :)

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly love spending time with them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your furry family members. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I understand that some dogs require extra patience, especially those with sensitive stomachs, food allergies, or separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I am a devoted dog owner myself. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a loving, clean, and calm environment where every dog is treated like family. As a dog owner, I understand the importance of proper feeding, supervision, exercise, and following specific care instructions. I pay special attention to dogs with food allergies, sensitive stomachs, or special needs. I will also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their furry family member is in caring hands.

About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.

She was wonderful with our cats, and both of them absolutely loved her! They kept messing with the automatic feeder, and she was sweet enough to come back a few hours later just to help us glue the bowl in place. We really appreciated her going out of her way to help. Would definitely book with her again! ❤️

Heather was absolutely wonderful with Charlie! As a diabetic cat, Charlie needs his insulin on a consistent schedule, and Heather was punctual at every feeding, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Charlie can be quite grumpy when I'm not around, but Heather handled his attitude effortlessly. She took the time to make him comfortable by giving him treats, keeping his favorite toys and fresh catnip available, and simply spending time talking to him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and loved. I also really appreciated her thoughtful report cards and the multiple photos she sent during her visits. She went above and beyond to keep me informed and reassured. During my trip, Heather experienced a medical emergency of her own. She communicated with me and even offered to complete her remaining scheduled visits. I ultimately decided to return home early and let her know that she didn't need to worry about those visits because I wanted her to have the time to rest and recover. I appreciated her communication and willingness to follow through, even under difficult circumstances. Heather is trustworthy, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for cats. I especially appreciate the time she took to get to know both Charlie and me so she could understand his needs, personality, and routine. Being able to leave town for a few days knowing Charlie was in caring hands is priceless, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone who will treat their cat with patience, compassion, and love!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Wonder Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Wonder Lake is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 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 308 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wonder Lake. 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 Wonder Lake. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 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.
