About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, and before I moved to America we owned two amazing high energetic dogs. I loved taking them on walks and letting them explore the environment. I will ensure your dog is having as much fun as I will on his/her walk. I like getting exercise through walking so your dog will be getting plenty of it. Your dogs safety is also a top priority to me at all times and I will ensure that whatever activities we’ll be engaging in, they'll be kept safe. I work full time but still have plenty of time in the day to play and love your pup, my husband is also usually home as well and will generally help with care I have a fenced in backyard that I like taking the dogs outside to if they don’t need a long walk while they stay. We can also play.

Shelby was great with our dogs and they warmed right up to her. She did everything we asked and even reached out to see if we wanted to modify our plan due to impending rain which was very thoughtful. We plan to book with her again and use her regularly!

Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!

About: I had an adult dog for 6 years who unfortunately passed a couple years ago. When he became a senior, it was like I had a whole new dog that I had to learn more about to take care of. He was my best friend, and I miss him a lot. Now that I'm in college, I can't have any pets, but I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away. I’m home from college this summer and I can visit your fur baby whenever you need me to, for walks, feeding, play time, etc! In your home, I will follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way that you want them taken care of. I'll treat them like my own and make sure they're safe and happy.

Contacted Alyssa through Rover.com and she replied very quickly. When asked if she could come over to meet our dogs, she agreed and was open to any time of day or night. With our busy schedule we were finally able to meet her at 9:30pm (our fault not hers). We have 1 calm dog and one excitable dog. Alyssa handled each very well, even though our excitable dog barked quite a bit each time she came over. Seeing how she handled each dog individually based on their personalities was amazing. She had great patience and got a long great with our animals and us. Alyssa has a down to earth personality, has great communication skills, and goes above and beyond for her clients. Our dogs are so very important to us, they are like our children, and after meeting with Alyssa and seeing her interactions and care for our pets, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

About: I’ve been around dogs and animals in general since a young age, with my grandpa running a small farm. I’ve grown up around breeds like German Shepherds, and have always taken care of friends’ dogs while they were in vacation. I learned a lot from my fiancé, who ran a successful dog walking business in New York City Give yourself peace of mind, your dog is in safe, loving, caring hands. I’m currently working from home with a special schedule which I take advantage of as it frees up a lot of time during the day. Pet care fits into it quite easily, as I have a daily routine I follow which includes dog walks, time with the dogs outside and of course feedings (and tending medicine when needed). I have a home situated on a quiet, secluded private lot that backs up onto a river with several trails within a short walking distance. The yard is secluded, well shaded and has ample space. I take care to be active with the dogs, so I usually toss frisbees or play fetch several times a day to keep them content. I walk my dogs twice around the neighborhood. Besides home, I have a number of dog-friendly trails and parks both in East Stroudsburg and nearby where I bring the dogs for some quality time outside. This includes hiking on trails and in the mountains, bringing the dogs to rivers or lakes, I mix it up each week depending on the weather conditions. Any time I go on an outdoor adventure, I make sure I have the owner’s consent. Their dogs will always be hydrated and have a snack. I only ask that if your dog has specific dietary needs or is taking medication, that you provide me with the necessary information and schedule. I have two modes of transport for dogs, both of which offer plenty of space, safety and comfort for the dogs while en route.

I recently had the pleasure of having Alexis visit my home to watch my two Goldendoodles, Chaka & Chip, who are both recovering from surgery, while I took care of some errands. Alexis was extremely kind and accommodating, fitting my dogs into her schedule on short notice, which was a lifesaver for me. My dogs are wary of strangers and are highly vocal about their concerns. Alexis handled both dogs with grace and calm energy. Despite the initial barking and jumping, she remained composed, which in turn helped my dogs settle down quickly. It was clear that her calm demeanor was something my dogs picked up on and responded to positively. Alexis arrived right on time. Her respect for my home and my pets was evident in all her actions. I'm already looking forward to using Alexis's services again. Not only is she fantastic with dogs, but she also has a beautiful personality. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with a genuine love for animals, Alexis is the person for you.

Thalia accepted my reservation right before we had to leave for a trip and my cat needed medication to be given 2x a day. Thalia took care of it no problem, sent me photos where I could see how the eye was looking and made me feel at ease. My cat was so happy, healthy and well cared for. I will definitely be rebooking. Highly recommend

Deb was the exact pet sitter we’ve been searching so long for. First, she was available on short notice when plans came up for us unexpectedly. She also had no problem doing a meet and greet within 24hrs notice. She was so sweet to Sam and clearly loved animals. She was happy to walk through all the quirks of the animals and was in no rush. So many sitters on Rover show up for five minutes, let our pup out, and tell us they are leaving (despite the fact that we pay for a 30min visit). I’d resigned myself to the fact that it’s just the way Rover is. Then we found Deb. She texted when she arrived for the visit and checked in on how Sam was and let him out the first time. She sent a few pictures on how he was (and even checked in on how our cat was even though he wasn’t on the docket for the day). Then much later she checked in again and took Sam out a second time. She used up all the 30mins and more. She shared how much she knew animals are social and value human connection. I’ve been searching far and wide for a sitter who understands that. Deb is that person. We will without a doubt be using Deb going forward. She is one of a kind.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for all types of dogs and cats, I provide dependable, loving care that keeps pets comfortable and owners at ease. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and from playful kittens to shy, sensitive cats. My approach is patient, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m skilled in daily feeding schedules, walks, litter box and potty routines, medication administration, and reading pet body language to keep them safe and happy. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or special-needs support, I make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I also offer responsible house sitting, maintaining your home while making sure your pets stick to their normal routines. You can count on reliable updates, clean spaces, and a trustworthy presence while you’re away. I work from home Monday-Friday 9-5, with a very flexible schedule. i can work from anywhere, including your home so your babies are never alone during the day. My house is smoke free, no children or pets. I am available for most situations and schedules. Caring for Pets in My Home When pets stay in my home, I create a calm, comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and play routines so they stay relaxed and happy. Pets get plenty of attention, safe indoor/outdoor time (as allowed), and a clean space to rest. I focus on making their stay stress-free with consistent structure, affection, and supervision. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting / Drop-Ins) When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping them in the routine they know best. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your space, keep everything clean, and make sure your home stays secure while you're away. I give lots of one-on-one attention, provide updates, and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings. General / Covers Both Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, my goal is the same: to provide reliable, personalized care based on their needs and routines. I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and well-loved, with plenty of affection, playtime, and attention to detail. I adapt to each pet’s personality—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra support—to give them the best experience possible.

We had a wedding at the Stroudsmoor with our dogs in the wedding and we asked Autumn to watch after the dogs during the wedding ceremony and photos before and after the ceremony. She did an excellent job handling our two fur babies and doing all the was necessary to make our dogs part of our big day. If you need any dog services I highly recommend Autumn!

Madison is amazing with our two cats! There was a terrible storm while we were away and Madison made sure our two fur babies were well cared for and safe. She's great with communication and truly loves what she does. Our cats greeted her daily as well as a few strays around the house! Madison made sure our one cat took his meds everyday and sent pics daily as well! Thank you Madison, for everything you did for our furry family members, you helped us to relax on vacation knowing the "kids" were well cared for. Thank you so much!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Arlington Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arlington Heights on Rover is $22.2 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 600 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arlington Heights. 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 Arlington Heights. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
