“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Jackie is fantastic! My pup is a wary Lhasa Apso and -I cannot say this about everyone, or even most- he immediately took to Jackie upon meeting her, which I think says a lot. I'm an anxious person and I know my babies are safe in Jackie's care. I also truly trust her, and that's not something I say lightly. :) we are so happy to have found her and her sincerity, gentleness, and excellent ability to communicate bring me such comfort.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets are family. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care so that pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to build trust with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, an adult dog who enjoys walks and playtime, or a senior pet who requires extra attention and gentle care, I will tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I pride myself on maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and affection, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I currently have summers off, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. This flexibility enables me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and last-minute requests. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I have a friendly beagle, a fully fenced yard for supervised play and exercise, and accommodations to help pets feel at home. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Faatima was wonderful with our cats, and from pictures alone we know they were comfortable and enjoyed her. We could tell at the meet and great the genuine care she would have for them. Her communication has been thorough and very timely throughout the process. We have already booked another visit with her.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, and small exotic pets for over a decade! I initially gained professional dog-handling experience from dog daycares/kennels. Then I became a vet tech and have worked in emergency care as well as general practice for a few years. I love taking care of pets in their own homes and do whatever I can to keep your pet on their normal routine while you’re gone! I'm comfortable with canines, felines, small animals, old, young, and everyone in between! Let me come care for your pets in the comfort of their own space, I will love them like they are my own. I petsit and dog walking for a living, so I will prioritize each visit on my schedule. I organize my schedule to accommodate each clients needs and am open and communicative should there be any last minute changes to the agreement. I take safety very seriously. I keep doors locked behind me unless told otherwise. I make sure if we’re going outside that the leash/harness is secure, and I don’t allow other people or pets to approach us on walks for safety. I’m Fear Free certified which means I’ve taken courses on body language and how to interact with dogs specifically.
“Anna has been doing drop ins for our puppy and older dog for the past couple of weeks. She is always on time and does a great job with them and providing photos and updates! Highly recommend Anna!”
“Ashley is a cat whisperer lol. One of my cats is super shy and not comfortable around people who doesn’t know. But she was super comfortable and cuddly with Ashley and I know cats know people’s intentions. Thank you Ashley for taking care of my cats!”
About: We are a dog-less home since our dog passed about a year ago. I sure do love having visitors, and a dog to love while they are here with me! We adopted our dog 14 years ago at 5 months old, and for the past 10 years I have been very involved with fostering and volunteering for a local rescue. This has given me so much experience with many different dog personalities and helped me learn how to best introduce them to a new environment. I have so much more knowledge about dog behaviors in general since fostering. I have fostered 30+ dogs thus far, handled at adoption shows, transported dogs to vet visits and selected adopters for my fosters. I feel very qualified to give your dog all the care and love they need and deserve while you are away! I am home during the day, and I am very happy to have your dog here to love and spoil while they are in my care. Your dog will always have plenty of love and attention when they are with me, and their needs will always be met. When they are here they are family! I am retired and home all day. If your dog likes to sleep in a room with someone, they can either sleep on the bed with me or on their bed or in their crate in the same room with me We are in a townhome with a walkout patio. I love to spend time outside with the dogs, and they are always secure with a leash or tie out cable. I am always with them. We are very careful about doors opening, and people coming in and out. Your pet is safe with me.
“Pailin is the most caring and compassionate person and she genuinely loves our lab. He’s truly a member of the family so when we are traveling we always worry about how he’s doing but not when she is watching him. Can’t say enough great things about her!!”
“Raquel did a fantastic job with her drop in visit. She is sweet, kind and professional all around. I trust her to care for my two fur babies under her attentive watch. I would definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for both children and animals, which has made me patient, attentive, and very dependable. I’ve been pet and house sitting for family and friends for years, caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I also have an 8-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m excited to start offering my services more broadly and provide the same level of care to others. I work a consistent 7:30 AM–4:00 PM schedule during weekdays, but I’m available for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m able to provide walks, feedings, and quality time before and after work, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels cared for, comfortable, and well-attended. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I always respect your space, keep things clean, and follow all instructions closely. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra patience. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of my senior and ailing dog and my cat. Jessica was professional, prompt and provided great updates and photos. It was such a relief to know my two precious pets were receiving such quality care. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, especially going so far away. Maricela was amazing! She was reliable and prompt and went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was loved and cared for. I will definitely use her again knowing I won’t have to worry”
“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for over ten rescues pups with my family. I’ve also looked after my neighbors, cousins, and family friends, giving every dog the same love and attention I’d want my own to have!! I’m currently working full time and a college student home for the summer and I get done with work around 3:30 each day. I am available from 3pm -8pm Monday- Thursday. Fridays from 3pm-7pm. Then Saturdays and Sundays change based on the weekend. I am always interested in taking care of pups so please message me and I am sure I can work outside of my hours and “set” schedule! Can’t wait to meet your sweet pup!! In clients homes, I stick to each dog’s normal routine and keep their environment calm and familiar. I make sure they get safe, attentive walks, plenty of love, and updates so you always know how they’re doing!! I would want my own dogs to be treated with love and care and I would do that with anyone else’s dog too!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoffman Estates
Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.
Lia is great!! I have two dogs, one of whom is reactive, and she was completely understanding and willing to work with her. I was super nervous about it, but her knowledge and experience with dogs put my mind at ease super quick. My dogs LOVED her right away, and were so happy to walk with her. 10/10 recommend!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hoffman Estates stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hoffman Estates choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hoffman Estates with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
