“Christine is amazing! She is incredibly down-to-earth and a true animal lover. All of my cats came out to greet her, which absolutely never happens on the first visit. She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.
“Teri is so mindful and loving .Our cats took to her right away.And she also took care to have all litter areas neat , food and water aplenty.We felt a huge relief when we came home and saw how happy our cats were . We are all looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Jen was amazing with my two guys. They are extremely gross high maintenance cats when I’m gone they get angry and she handled everything they threw at her. I was away for important reasons and it helped not having to worry about them. She communicated extremely well and I will book with her every time from now on.”
About: Hello! Having recently made Illinois my home, I’m looking forward to meeting local pet families. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after everything from puppies to elderly cats. As a lifelong cat mom myself, I know that pets are family. When you're away, you need someone reliable who respects your home, follows your routines, and provides calm, attentive care so you can have total peace of mind. Now based in Winthrop Harbor, I’d love the chance to meet you and your little ones! 🐾 I have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to be very responsive to your pets' needs. I'm currently available for drop-in visits throughout the day and can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening routines. Since I specialize in drop-in visits, my priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own familiar environment while you're away. When I arrive, I handle everything according to your exact routine—whether that means feeding, fresh water, medication administration, litter box scooping, or yard breaks. Just as importantly, I make sure they get quality interaction, playtime, or gentle attention so they aren't lonely. I also respect your home completely, keeping spaces tidy and sending a detailed update with photos after every single visit so you always have peace of mind.
“Danielle does a great job taking care of our cats! She is timely, provides updates and takes lots of pictures. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets”
About: My family used to own 7 dogs when I was a preteen! 6 were chihuahuas and one was a pit bull, so I feel comfortable with any dog size. I would feed, walk, wash, and play with them. Now, I help my friends with their dogs whenever it’s needed. I know when they need space and when they want to be playful. I have a lots of energy, so I can ply with your pup for a long time! I’m a full-time student and work part-time for two days a week, but it only takes up in the morning. On any day of the week, I am available at any time after 4pm, and before 11am except on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I’m always observing, partially because of admiration, but also watching out for any signs of discomfort. I can recognize when they need space, are uncomfortable, anxious, or threatened. I’m cautious when it comes to interactions while walking and will walk across the other side of the street from another dog for precaution.
“I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!”
“I am grateful to have had Sunshine as my very first pet sitter and with me for my first time using Rover. Not only is she incredibly kind and reassuring, she shares pictures that are professional level! She shared sweet updates of my babies that made me feel less guilty for being away. If I ever leave again, I'm going to ask for Sunshine again. :)”
“Kim is phenomenal! I would highly recommend. She communicates quick and was super easy to work with. She took my appointment last minute and really saved me a lot of stress. She was very good with my doughter and I will use her again in the future if she is available! Thank you for helping me out in a pinch Kim!”
“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”
About: I've spent over a decade volunteering and working with animals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Middle East — from cat shelters to training my own dog to service-dog level in obedience (sit, here, heel, center + more). My home is very clean, calm, and routine-based. Whether it's a dog who needs structure and adventure or a cat who needs a spotless litter box and quiet affection, I create a safe, happy, healthy environment and treat every pet like family, with daily photo updates. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom to a 4 month old puppy, I spend most of my time around the house. I also take the pup to the dog park / beach every day or every other day. I have a fenced in yard for my pup & I’ve worked her recall enough now that I don’t have to worry about her. She’s super trained inside and outside the house.
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I am an honest and hard worker and I provide good communication with my clients. I am a student at parkside with one year left until I graduate. With my schedule, I am able to pet sit during the day and overnight on weekdays and I’m fully available on weekends. When I’m pet sitting in a clients home, I spend the majority of my day there playing with and taking care of the pets. I put the pet’s needs first and maintain good communication with the owners to ensure their pet is taken care of properly. I treat the home with respect and ensure the owners of the home know my schedule so there are no surprises while I’m watching their pets.
“Veronique was wonderful with my two huskies- I am always super concerned when I leave them alone & stress over their care. She was great at keeping me updated, sent me consistent updates, photos and videos. It’s important for me that my dogs connect with their sitter and it seems my two connected very well with Veronique. I’d absolutely recommend her and would totally book future sitting appointments with her. Thank you much for caring for my big boys 🐶 🐶”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 13 years. I have 6 dogs of my own who are well cared for and get all of my love and attention. Dogs to me are like children who need to be well kept. I do my best to keep your fur friends happy as can be along with their owners. I do not discriminate against any breeds. I love and care for any animals as if they were all the same. I believe in quality service and I strongly recommend a person like me for the job. Things will get done Professionally and correctly. If any one has any questions or concerns I am free and willing to answer any of them at any time of the day. I am currently a college graduate looking for some extra side cash to save up for law school. I am currently a school bus driver for special needs children Monday through Friday. I have prior dog care experience. I my self care for six of my own dogs. I do not discriminate against size or breed of one’s animal. I quite honestly find joy in interacting with animals, it puts a smile on my face like no other job could.
About: Hi Kelsea here, I have some experience, about 2 1/2 year training dogs. Having a fur babe/babies is the best thing anyone could have, they can be sometimes better than humans. Love being outside and playing with my puppy and yours too, just see there happy faces makes my day great. My apartment where am stating currently dosent allows any aggressive breeds you should be able to see the picture of what am not allowed to have. But, am hoping to have a house to where i be able to have any breed. Currently I am working at Rally’s. But,I am very flexible to you and your dog needs. Also hoping to go back to college so I can get my degree in medical office, while there am hoping to learn more about training animals too. In conclusion, I hope that you and your fur babe/babies will choose to come and have a awesome experience. Have a great day!!!

Abby did a great job checking in for our two cats during a long trip. Both cats were very happy and healthy during that time and we were so pleased to see them relaxed when we got home from our trip. It really made us feel good to know that our babies were the best of care! Highly recommend Abby!

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 Zion. On Rover:

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.
