“I can’t say enough positive things about Kristina. She’s engaging, she’s communicative, she does what you request. Honestly this is the 2nd time we have engaged her services and both my husband and I felt really confident about leaving the dogs in her care.”
“Jazalyn is the best! She is extremely accommodating and fantastic with pets she’s only met once! My dog was comfortable with her immediately and she provided plenty of pictures and reassurance while we were away!”
“Philip was great with our lab. He spent much time playing catch with her... which is what she Loves to do. He was there right on time on each visit. We were very impressed by the Rover Card. Fantastic action shots. When he returned with our key our pup was excited to see him... a sign of what a great job he did to make her comfortable with him. Also Philip has a great personality, happy and full of life. We will keep him in mind for another sittings.”
“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 have been taking care of dogs ranging from a few lbs to 100+ lbs for years! I have also been caring for different types of cats just as long :) Growing up we always had a dog in the house, so that has made me super comfortable to be around them. Whether I’m walking, feeding, cleaning, or administering medication, I am definitely not afraid of the job! I am a proud mama of 2 cats named Archie and Simon. They are my absolute world! I will make sure to give your pets the same care, caution, attention, and love I give my boys! Pet care has always been a passion of mine. In fact, I went to school for it! Although I did not end up pursuing my desire to become a veterinarian, I still try to incorporate that love for animals in my day to day life! I have an extremely flexible work schedule that allows me to almost work fully remote. I would be able to stop over at the house pretty much whenever you need me to. My work set up also allows me to work anywhere if needed. My weekends are almost always open as well! I will always make sure to talk through your expectations to ensure you are comfortable with the nature of each type of visit. I typically would not host any pets in our home. We have a fenced in backyard and several spaces; however, I would not want to put your pet or my cats in an uncomfortable space. At a clients home, I am more than comfortable with backyard access, crate training, cleaning litter boxes, accessing food/water, and any other requirements for the visit! (Totally fine bringing in mail/watering plants!) I will only access the spaces you need me to. I am also fine spending the night if needed. That would be something we could discuss case by case!
“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.”
“Lauriel was wonderful! My pets were very well taken care of and I don’t even know how much they missed us. They enjoyed her so much! That is how I want to be! She was professional, prompt, and always sent pictures of my dog and cat! We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful.”
“I knew the moment I met Daniela that she would take excellent car of my fur babies and I was right! The daily updates with pictures and videos made being away from them easier knowing they had such a great caregiver.”
“Sabrina came on same day notice and was very clear and quick in her communication. We actually never met her because we had to be gone all day unexpectedly and had to trust her to come in our home alone and handle our 10 week old puppy. She did a wonderful job and sent updates as well as offered to help with additional work as part of her care. I would recommend her”
“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 have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
“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!”
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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. As a recent Exercise Science graduate, I’m active, responsible, and attentive to detail, so whether your dog needs an energetic walk or a relaxed drop-in visit, I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages every step of the way. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, feeding, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medications (if applicable), and any routines your pet is used to. I treat every home with respect, make sure pets are secure before leaving, and always strive to create a calm, positive experience so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
