“Doug is amazing. We had just lost one of our cats and was worried about the transition of our other cat. Doug was so patient and kind and gave her lots of attention to help ease the transition while we couldn't be there. He was very communicative and let us know what was going on. I felt our cat was in the greatest of hands.”

About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.

“Brittany was prompt with her visits, quick to inquire about any issues that she encountered, and lovely to our four kitties. She stayed after our arranged time slot to ensure one of our cats got his meds, and worked with us when he became a little apprehensive. Overall I would highly recommend her services!”

“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”

About: Hi 👋 My name is Amber and I'm a big cat person! I've had a cat since college..20 years ago already! But I'm experienced with different types of cats. I had two but unfortunately recently had to put my tortie girl down due to cancer. I have a very sweet male tabby cat currently who is good with other cats as long as they are ok with him. I am happy to board your cat here and am open to a meet and greet first to make sure our cats will get along, or at least tolerate each other. I am open to administering medication if your cat is somewhat agreeable (we can discuss this further) as both of mine have needed medication for various reasons in the past. I have a second bedroom to put your cat in until ours get comfortable with each other. I'm happy to play and give your baby some TLC while you're away! I work mostly from home and usually only go into the office on Thursdays so I will be home majority of the time while boarding/watching your cat. I have a second bedroom that I can separate the cats if need be. Especially in the beginning when they are getting used to each other.

About: I've had a lifelong love for dogs and over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs. A Rescue, Stray and Husky. I enjoy running with dogs, so please let me know if you have a runner! Im currently working full time and I am missing the relationship with my pets. I am available every evening and all weekend to take care of your pets! I am extremely aware and attentive to pets as I know from experience the mischievous acts they can commit. Of course this will vary depending on your pets personality!

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!

About: I am the family pet and house sitter and have been for many many years. I’ve had pets my whole life: a yorkie/Pom, lab, border collie mix, cats. My boy fathead (I didn’t name him lol) is the black fluffy cat that was with me for 17 years, he had kidney failure and unfortunately he didn’t make it through. This is where my experience with IV’s really helped. We did daily IV meds, IV fluids etc. to try and save him. I’ve also had hamsters, ferrets, pups/elderly dogs, fish. I grew up going to my uncles farm with horses, chickens, ducks, goats, a donkey… you name it and I’ve taken care of them in some capacity!! I love them all! Feeding, giving treats, going for walks, or just hanging out in the yard or house… a girl couldn’t ask for a better day! I am a PE/Health teacher in the area. Help me help you feel at ease knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you enjoy whatever you need/want to do! I work Monday-Friday, 7:00am-2:30pm. I’m off on weekends, and holidays. So while I’m working during the week, I am not gone for long hours and am able to spend quite a bit of time with them or doing visits, whatever you may need! I’m able to stop in the morning before work and right after work if you need drop in visits. Let me know how I can help! :) I have many references that can back up my quality of care! They can tell you how much I will love them, and take care of them as my own. Making sure you come home to them healthy and happy is what it’s all about! EVERYONE deserves to trust and know that things are taken care of while they aren’t able to be there. They will be safe and well taken care of with me, whatever that looks like. If boarding with me, they are allowed on the furniture and bed to sleep comfortably with me if they choose to. While it is an apartment, there is plenty of room for them to play freely or just lounge. I will keep food and water down at all times (unless you follow a schedule for that). Potty breaks will be given as often as they may need! My home provides a very calm environment, unless it is time to play of course! They have free rein in the apartment while they are with me. Any special accommodations you need? Just let me know and we can make it work!

Hoffman Estates, IL, 60169

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.

About: Hi there, my name is Nina and I'm very attentive and compassionate with your loved ones. Comfortable administering medication? Yes. Velcro pet? Ready to accept attention at a moments notice. Anxious rescue? I started my journey rehousing rescues even crocheting blankets for kittens without mothers. From pubs/kittens to seniors I am your sitter ready for any type of care you might need while you’re away! I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I still devote some time to volunteering at shelters and pet sitting for international sits from TrustedHousesitters. However, for the holidays I am always home and available to care for pets nearby! I do a balance of everything for my clients: Housesitting for multiple pets at a time, Drop-ins for food or walks, Administer medication, Personalized care for traumatized pets, Senior specific care, And many more! Let’s connect and discuss what you’re looking for!

About: I have been born and raised taking care of dogs and having them in my family. I was raised with a Border Collie mix named Misty. Then, for 15 years I had a Labradoodle named Ferbie. He was a precious soul and wonderful playmate. I love to entertain and keep active/playful with all the pups I have the blessing of watching. I attend to rules and respect all wishes. I work part time at the moment so I have flexibility throughout my days to take breaks. I also work remotely so I have the ability to travel around the suburbs. I follow all household procedures. I think safety is the biggest priority and it is crucial for pet sitting. The space and animal(s) must always be kept safe and prioritized first in every situation.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Through Rover, I’m able to provide dependable, loving care for pets while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outdoors, relaxing on the couch, or simply getting plenty of attention and scratched behind the ear, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and needs. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and treat every animal in my care with patience, affection, and respect. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and critters, not just dogs and cats and I believe every dog deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of breed, or size. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry family member! I make my own schedule at work, so am able to put your animal friend first and foremost! I'm here for you, rain or shine! As your sitter, I happily follow any and all instructions to the letter. Written, or verbal rules accommodated equally. I'm happy to have video chats with you when in your place of residence to ensure your animal friends you're always nearby.

About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions. I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air. I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lake Zurich

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Zurich is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,518 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Zurich. 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 Lake Zurich. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
