“This was our first time using Rover. Our dog Brauny tore his ACL and we didn't want to send him to daycare during our vacation. We were a little nervous at first but Kailey was exceptional. Brauny is a little anxious around strangers but Kailey was great at calming him down. We loved seeing pictures of Brauny while we were away. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Many thanks to Jody for taking such excellent care of my cranky cat. Jody listened so carefully during our "getting to know you" visit that I knew she wouldn't miss a beat in Ben's daily routine. Her emails and photos reassured me that he was a happy camper while we were gone. I really think that her care and attention brought out an affectionate side of him I didn't know he had! I was better able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was being looked after by a responsible person with lots of experience. I would not hesitate to book Jody's services again.”
“This was our first appointment on Rover and couldn’t be happier! Krysten was great, she sent us photos and updates during the visit. Can’t wait to rebook with her!!”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was in the third grade. I now have 4 dogs of my own and foster for a local rescue, which means I have taken care of dogs of all ages I currently work Monday - Friday until 3:30 PM and am available after that. Weekends are usually free for anytime care as my job does not require me to work weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a portion of the property that is far from the road and boxed in by trees. My dogs are friendly and love to run around and play.
About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!
“Michelle has been excellent ! We are so fortunate our Mabel had such awesome care and attention . We felt very comfortable having Michelle in our home and spending time with our best girl ! I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who loves their pet(s) and wants the security of knowing they are loved and cared for 1,000% of the time . I was nervous to use Rover as I am first time user . Michelle made it so easy and comfortable .”
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
“Rianna is so sweet with my pups. While they are very low maintenance, she goes out of her way to be super sweet and patient with them. 2 big thumbs up and I will continue to book her for my daily dog needs.”
“Shawn is reliable and communicates in a timely manner. This was our first time using Rover and Shawn came daily for 2 weeks for our cats. Our cat litter box and their dishes were as clean as we left them upon our return. We would definitely use Shawn again.”
“Cayla goes above and beyond, provides outstanding care for my one year old golden retriever who can be a handful at times. Cayla is very patient, playful, flexible and provides detailed updates and great photos. I highly recommend her!!”
“My somewhat shy and very skittish pups. Emmi and Avrie, loved Megan from the first moment they met her! She took great care of them while I was away and even gave one a bath after a "fecal incident", including snuggle time after so my pup was warm and calm before Megan left. She even put my personal bedding in to wash so I didn't have to come home to a mess!!! I will definitely be using her again :D”
About: I have had all kinds of dogs & a cat since I was a kid; Schnauzers, Beagles, Pittie mixes, and a Chihuahua. My girlfriend & I currently have a 10 year old pitty named Cannoli, a son to be 2 year old pitty- Great Pyrenees named Carl and 2 12 year old chihuahuas named Tyson and Felix. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets while they are away. I am currently available during the week Monday-Friday 10am-10pm (and some weekends), so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for walks or drop ins. Would love to regularly walk or drop in with your furry friends weekly or a few times a week! Active pet sitter near parks & walking trails. I enjoy taking pups on long walks or runs outdoors, or even just providing some company in the house while your are away.
“Teri is calm, caring, and patient. She was willing to put in the time needed to win over my young and nervous shepherd. I have no problem leaving her with my three dogs in my home for a week. I know they will be well taken care of.”
About: I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I am willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best care for the animals, regardless of it being messy or the weather being bad. I am currently in school, so I have a specific schedule, but I still have some time available. I am able to be flexible and make things work. I am very involved in the care of my own cats and will do whatever is asked of me by clients to take the best care of their cats. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Dogs have been apart of my family since I was kid. We have loved a wide variety of breeds from small dogs to large dogs. I also have experience as a dog walking volunteer at the Racine County Humane society! Through this position and my home life I have walked dogs from 5-100+lbs. My family calls me the dog whisperer and I've always felt so at peace walking or spending time with pups! I am a recent grad with my Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. I work as an Emergency Medicine PA offering me flexibility with my schedule. I would love to help care for your pets in my off time. Animals bring me so much joy and I will treat your pet as one of my own! I am able to work with pets of high energy as well as more docile pups! I am comfortable using crates as well as kennels.
About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,267 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 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 Yorkville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
