“Taylor was great with our cat while we were gone on a long trip. Lots of updates, pictures & videos and love for our kitty. Lovely person - we would def book with her again.”
“Heidi was great with my two cats while we were gone for the week. She had great communication and I felt really comfortable leaving my cats and house in her hands while we were gone. We will definitely book her the next time we leave!”
“Dorothy was great to work with! She was very communicative with her visits, and our cat was happy to see her when she stopped by. We came to a well taken care of home and kitty 😊 Would recommend and book with her again!”
“Madeline has always been great checking in our cats. She very reliable and always responds quickly. The visit summaries were thorough and she would try to get pictures even when they were hiding. We're going to miss having her around when we move out of the area!”
“We are new pet owners and hesitant to leave our 9mo old kitten for a week, but we are so glad we had Amanda! She came to meet our cat before we left, took great notes and put me at ease. Every day we were gone, Amanda dropped in 2x per day and left us wonderful, detailed notes and pictures that showed she took care to know Salem, what he liked, needed and enjoyed. I enjoyed reading her notes to our kids and sharing the pictures she would send. It made us feel like we could enjoy our vacation knowing Salem was in amazing hands. No hesitations in 100% recommending Amanda. She was the best and would rebook in an instant. Thank you!!!”
“Sara did such a great job caring for my kitty, Bear! She’s not the easiest cat to deal with but Sara was amazing. I would not hesitate to use her again. The pictures she sent while I was traveling made me know I’d found a good spot to leave Bear!”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I know life gets busy and you may need someone to stop in I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I’ve been pet sitting for puppies, older dogs, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, cats, reptiles and Guinea pigs. I’m currently working part time but open my availability to all over night pet sitting or animal care that is needed so it’s nice to make my own schedule. I can do drop ins or over nights for anxious animals who like to be in their own home. I will listen to what your needs are and do the best I can to make the animal comfortable. Love Long walks outside in anyt weather needed. I have plenty of vouches and referrals off of rover if you’d want to hear some of them :)
“Casey was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town and kept us updated on everything. I was at ease knowing Casey was stopping in and my cat was being cared for so well. The best!!”
“Aury was great with our two cats. She sent us pictures and reassured us how they were doing. She was flexible, on time, and reliable. Best of all she played with them, we highly recommend her!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Barrington Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,686 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Barrington Hills. 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrington Hills. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
