“We’ve had Saffron watch our dogs multiple times, and she always does great with them! Thank You for taking care of our babies last minute. We greatly appreciate it!”
About: I’ve spent over 21 years caring for cats, 10 years raising dogs, and 5 years caring for bearded dragons through personal experience. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage, from kittens and puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and caring for cats with FIV. Every pet has a unique personality, and I’m experienced working with everything from calm, shy companions to energetic, playful pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care while you’re away! My regular availability is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I’m also available for weekend visits, overnight stays, and extended care when you’re traveling. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to keep them on their normal schedule for meals, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and playtime. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my highest priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and any special care instructions before every visit. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation while always respecting your pet’s comfort level. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks, transport pets to grooming appointments if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return!
“She was amazing! She was able to help us out on very short notice and was incredibly accommodating when we had to change the drop-in time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maverick was in such good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our fur baby and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jabrae filled in super last minute when I had a sitter who had an emergency and couldn't make my dogs drop in visit. She took him on a long walk and was in communication with me through the whole visit. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Joshua was awesome on his drop-ins with our pups! They clearly enjoyed themselves from the pictures and we came home to happy pups and a (relatively) clean house! Joshua was even kind enough to bring in some packages for us. He is awesome! Highly recommend”
“Brandy is awesome! Second time using her and she's always super responsive and sends pics of the animals. Makes me feel like the pets are well cared for when I'm away.”
“Sadie was awesome and took great care of my boys while I was away. Great communication and letting me know how they were doing. Would highly recommend and will definitely request her care again!”
“Alyssa was amazing. She took care of my two cats. I felt so relieved knowing they were in good hands. She played with and fed them along with cleaning their litter boxes. She also sent lots of pictures of my girls and was very responsive. I would definitely recommend her and I will absolutely use her again. Thank you!”
“So pleased. Came back to find my dogs happier than ever to see me, but they were calm and relaxed. I will use Dawn again. What a good feeling to have a caring person watch your pets in their own home. Loved the picture updates!”
“Chelsea did a great job with our cats. Arrived home to a clean and tidy kitchen and litter boxes. She is a good communicator and we enjoyed the pictures she sent. We recommend her as a terrific sitter!”
“Jennifer has a way with dogs! She kept my pups happy and healthy while we were gone, provided as lots of updates and kept in constant contact. I trust my pups with her completely and they were always happy to see her. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be re-booking with her again!”
“Lauren was absolutely incredible caring for Pluto! She treated him like her own, kept everything spotless, and made sure he stayed on his routine. I got daily updates and the sweetest photos—such a relief while I was away. When I came home, Pluto was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he felt completely comfortable with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust with both my pup and my home. Can’t wait to book Lauren again!”
“Mary Kay was wonderful with my service dog Sunshine and his many “rules.” She was personable and kind, and he took to her instantly. I will definitely be having her back with Sunshine soon!”
“These kitties are very shy with new friends (even in the presence of food!!) It is clear that them coming out to be around Savannah is a testament to her warmth and presence. We ended up with altered travel plans due to the crazy weather and could not get back home as planned. Savannah was quick to respond, putting our mind at ease. Huge thanks to her for taking great care, and especially such short notice!”
“This was the first time we had Gillian take care of our dogs and she did a great job. The dogs were fed and medicated on time and played with, which is very important as one of our dogs has severe separation anxiety.”
“Alex took awesome care of our 3 kitty siblings. We felt very comfortable being away with Alex stopping in. She sent us daily pictures and played with the brothers. Even their super shy sister came out of hiding on day 3. Will definitely hire Alex again.”
“This was our first time using this app. I’m glad we did, we found someone that took great care of our dogs while we were away. It’s a plus that she lives close by too haha. Our dogs loved her and to have some company while we were gone. We greatly appreciate Nicole and will definitely recommend her and use her services again. Thank you again Nicole!”

Alyssa is awesome and very thoughtful! We never worry about our kitties when they are in her care. She always keeps in close communication and asks questions when we forget to include something in our care instructions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their animals!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wood Oak Park on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,260 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wood Oak Park. 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.

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.
