“Heidi took such great care of our bearded dragon and bunny while we were away! It can be tricky to find somebody who knows how to care for exotic pets like ours, but she was a total pro. Already have her booked for our next trip!”

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

“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!”

“I had a wonderful experience with this pet sitting team. They took excellent care of my dog, Theo, and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Communication was always clear and consistent, and I appreciated the updates they shared. Theo was happy, safe, and well-cared for, and it was obvious they treated him with kindness and patience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters, and I’ll happily book with them again in the future.”

About: I offer over a decade of pet care experience ranging from medical-needs seniors to high-energy puppies. My background includes: Specialized Care: Administering medications and senior pet monitoring. Cats: Experience with newborn foster kittens and adult cats. Dogs: Skilled in walking, feeding, and active play for all breeds and ages. I pride myself on being a highly attentive and trustworthy sitter. I’ve cared for everything from tiny kittens to energetic mutts like Ethel and Pickle, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which leaves me with plenty of open availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you are heading out of town or just need a consistent weekly walker, my schedule allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. I believe every pet is an individual, and I pride myself on being highly adaptable to their specific needs and your personal preferences. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule or specific walking habits, I am here to provide consistent, respectful care. I focus on in-home services, meaning your pet gets to stay in their 'safe space' while receiving my full care and supervision.
“Rachael is an excellent pet sitter! She was always very punctual and thorough with her pet care (2 cats and a dog). She was careful to follow my written instructions to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. Her daily logs about her visits were detailed and fun to read! And lots of cute pictures! She is very sweet and kind and I would not hesitate to ask for her help again!”

“Jennifer was attentive and followed every instruction perfectly while caring for our cat, Herman. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and exceptional!”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

About: I own a GSD/Shar Pei Mix named Moose and have learned a lot since rescuing her in 2023. I've been volunteering at local shelters since then where I care for dogs of varying ages. Earlier this year, I completed a three-month internship with the Penn Vet Working Dog Center where we trained dogs in obedience, agility, scent work, husbandry, and more. I'm currently working part-time and studying to become a dog trainer. So I'm looking for every opportunity to walk and care for dogs of any ages and size to get all the experience I can! I will generally be available after 2pm on weekdays and am flexible on the weekends. I am very laid back and will work with you on whatever works best for walks/letting them out to stretch their legs and have some fun.
“Evelyn was such a pleasure to meet! My dogs (and even my cat!) quickly took to her. She was gracious enough to search around for any potty accidents when my new puppy escaped from her gated area. My dogs were worn out from all the playing they did. Thank you so much Evelyn!”

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.
“Khurum had great communication throughout his weekend checking in with our cat Lola. He was timely, and even spent extra time with her to try to get her to play, even though she isn't usually a toy cat. Coordination with key pickup and drop-off was also superb. We would book with Khurum again!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and I treat every pet I watch like my own. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so my main priority is making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I work regularly during the week, so I’m fully available for morning, evening, and weekend care. Before I head out and as soon as I’m back, your pet gets my full attention—long walks, feeding, and plenty of playtime. On weekends, my schedule is wide open I treat your house with the utmost respect. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are properly locked before I step out, and I'll keep you updated with photos so you know your pet is relaxed and your home is in safe hands.

Taylor is spectacular! She goes out of her way to make Jade feel comfortable and playful, even with her being shy around new people. Taylor is also extremely responsive and flexible in dynamic situations. I would recommend her to anybody and look forward to leverage her services in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,650 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 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.

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.
