“Natalie is the kind of caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure your furry ones get all the care and attention they deserve. She did a great job taking care of our two wonderful labs while we were away. We highly recommend her for any short term or long term services you may be looking for.”
“Allison has been dropping in to walk our two frenchies for a couple of weeks now and we couldn’t be happier!! Every day we look forward to reading Allison’s visit notes and seeing all the wonderful pictures she takes. It’s become the highlight of our commute home from work.”
“Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!”
“Abe Lincoln absolutely loves Kayleigh. She is so sweet to him and you can tell she is a natural pet person. Completely trust her with Abe and she always writes a nice note of their time together. She is also very responsive on the app.”
“Valerie cared for our two larger dogs while we were on vacation. She is terrific and I would recommend her to anyone. She really cares about maintaining the pets routine and making them happy. She follows any instructions you provide, shows up on time and is highly communicative. Our dogs are high energy and need structure which she easily handled. She put our minds at ease with her professionalism and love of animals.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachael to check in on my two cats every day while I was away for 10 days. She’s super communicative and reliable and I would recommend to her anyone and be so happy to work with her again.”
“As a Rover caretaker myself, this was my first time hiring someone to take care of my animals. Rosie was amazing and went above and beyond for my babies. I highly recommend her!”
“Sofia was great! She dropped in twice a day, for 6 days, while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected health issue with our one dog, and she went out of her way to make his life easier while we were gone. We were sent plenty of photos and could see that all of our pets really connected well with Sofia. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Kristin responded right away & helped us when we reached out last minute for pet care. Not only did she accept the request within 24 hours; she also made herself available that very evening for an introduction visit. She is very thorough and asks questions that instill confidence.”
About: Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet needs and give your pets lots of love, potty breaks, exercise and make sure they are cared for, happy and safe when you are not home. I love animals! I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with Chihuahua’s. Our family had several over the years. Then I had a Cockapoo who lived to 16 yrs old, he was sick, but we cared for him and he still lived a long wonderful life! I currently have a 6 year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. She’s super energetic and brings a special love to our home. We also have a new member to our family, a cat named Suma…she’s beautiful and very playful! I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, organized, and helpful. I’m currently available for early morning, drop-in visits, also quick 30 minute lunch break visits and/or anytime after 5pm to care for your pets! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
About: I raised 3 dogs and have 3 cats still and I love them all. They must be protected & cared for. We are their whole world and they wait on us, love us, & protect us. I work full-time so I can watch pets Friday to Sunday in my home. I am also able to house sit and take care of your pets in your home as I have adult children to take care of the pets in our home. I can have dogs stay here but not cats. My 14 yr old dog Apple is kind & docile. She loves all dogs and the cats get along too. I can house sit too for dogs and cats. I can also cat sit daily on weekends if you do not want or need a house sitter.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs in my neighborhood and for family friends since I was 12. I have a lot of experience with small and large dogs. I enjoy walking them and playing with them. I’m a current college student with a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to work with whatever needs you have for your pet in your home. I’m very respectful of others spaces and I’ll clean up messes that may happen inside your home too. I will let you know if anything happens during my time with your pet.
“Oh my goodness! She is the absolute best! I stressed all night before because I didn’t want to leave my pup while I was at work for 12 hours. Lindsay helped me set up a time and she arrived perfectly! She gave him a walk and spent so much time with him! I cannot thank her enough and will be hiring her again. I highly highly recommend her. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Ally has been such a wonderful sitter to our dogs and kitties. She always goes above and beyond, making sure everyone feels loved and gets plenty of exercise and a variety of fun. We love working with Ally and are so happy we can take trips with peace of mind!! Thank you, Ally!!”
“We’re so glad we found Tim! He is kind and gentle with our elderly Bouvier. He not only walked her but worked to provide her with stimulation with a puzzle game and treats since her eyesight and hearing are not what they used to be. He was patient as she took slow walks and sniffed to her hearts content. So grateful to have found someone who took such good care of her.”
“Katie made a series of drop-in visits for my two cats and provided great pics and notes for each. She was very attentive to instructions and a reliable caretaker for my fur babies :)”
“Morgan was absolutely fantastic! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our kitten. She was wonderful with communication and daily photos. Our cat was very happy and looked super when we returned. I am sure she enjoyed Morgan’s visits. Would definitely book her for visits in the future.”

Natalie did an amazing job of doing drop-in visits for my two cats while I was away on vacation. She made sure they were well taken care of and sent a ton of photos. She went above and beyond making my cats feel comfortable and happy. She even got my shy cat to come out for her! Thank you Natalie!!! 😁
Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy
Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip.

Valerie took great care of my cat for a whole week. I felt comfortable since she sent detailed descriptions of what they were up to, and I loved the pics including a festive new year pic!! I will continue to pick Valerie as my first choice cat sitter since she is reliable and my cat loves her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Yerkes on Rover is $17.76 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 4,552 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Yerkes. 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 Yerkes. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
