“Lauchlan is the best. She’s great with our cats including giving them medication every single visit. I appreciate the updates and pictures. We already have her booked for next time I have to travel.”
“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm Tsecel, I've been caring for furry babies since I was a little kid. It's been an incredible journey filled with lots of love and learning. Currently, I have five pets: two German Shepherds named Ghost and Brutus, a Maltese Shih Tzu mix named Mylo, an orange cat named Cheerio, and a hamster named Snow. Each one of them brings so much love and funny adventures to my life! I also volunteer at Anderson Humane, where I get to help rehabilitate wildlife and take care of dogs and cats. It's amazing to see these animals transform and find loving homes. Knowing that I've made a difference in their lives is so rewarding. Plus, giving them all the love and care they deserve every day is just the best feeling ever! With all this experience, I am highly qualified to be the right person for your pet. When I care for your furry babies, I’ll share the same love I give to my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cherished. ❣️PLEASE READ❣️ I’m busy with work Monday through Friday, but I’m all yours on weekends for outings or weekend getaways! If you do need care on the weekdays, I’m happy to help after 5 p.m !!!! Please message me for anymore questions! At your home, I ensure safety by following your routine and respecting your space. I prioritize cleanliness and provide updates to keep you at ease.
“Ace was great with my cat. She came on time to provide food to my cat and was very friendly with him. Overall, a great cat sitter and I would reach out to her again when ever needed in future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have been around dogs and cats since I was little. My family currently has a sweet Toy Poodle, and we had cats before. I volunteered at a cat shelter, feeding, playing with and looking after kitties. I truly enjoy spending time with every pet. All my pet‑care services take place in your home.

“Sarah did a great job with our cats (3) and was very attentive. I could tell they liked her and she had good quality play time with them. She was prompt and on time and sent us great pics of the cats.”
“Kathryn was great with our two cats. She took exceptional care of them and kept us informed with how they were doing with each visit. We saw her playing with them, feeding them, and giving them treats. She spent appropriate time with them each visit, at least 30 minutes or more. Definitely will hire her again when needed. Thank you Kat! 🥰”
“Perfect! I cannot believe I found Sydney. My house was clean and our kitties made a new friend. She treated them like they were her own. I am SOOOO happy and impressed. I was worried as this was my first time using Rover...and I will be using her again. I strongly recommend Sydney. Can I give her a 10 star rating!!!”
“It was great to get pictures and an update after each visit. When I got home the litter boxes were both clean and the food and water dishes were both clean and filled. Will definitely use the service and Destiny again.”
“Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.”
About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Yorkville
Cynthia definitely helped us out in a pinch!! Our flight was quite delayed and she was able to help us out! The peace of mind knowing that we didn't have to worry about the dogs was so very appreciated!! We've used Cynthia more than once for overnight stays, and this was the first drop-in. We will definitely use her again!
Cynthia did a great job for a very reasonable price. Our cat is quite elderly, but he was healthy and in good spirits when we returned. The house was kept in perfect order and very clean. We also appreciated receiving daily photos. Even though he missed us, it’s clear he was well taken care of. Highly recommend!
Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Yorkville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 325 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Yorkville. 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.

- 87% 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 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.
