“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”
“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.”
“Emily was an absolute doll. She came through on a snowy holiday weekend and went above and beyond with our shy little Toasty girl. Emily was super communicative before, during, and after the drop-in visit. We could tell from the photos that Toast had a blast with her new friend!”
“Melanie took wonderful care of Uno! She is reliable, dependable, responsible, and experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing Uno was in her care. She is trustworthy, caring, and kept me updated throughout. I highly recommend Melanie and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m your go-to when pet-care of all kinds is needed. I’m an animal lover at heart. I can accommodate special needs or medical needs with proper instruction, as well as dogs that require high levels of physical activity. I have cared for birds, fish, tortoises, cats, and dogs. I also have my own French Bulldog that is a mix of chill and playful and loves the company of other animals - cats and dogs alike. I work from home, so your dog can have as much attention as they need. Between my work schedule and the freedom and flexibility I have in my life right now, I am able to accommodate longer bookings, if and when needed. I am child-free and work from home, so your pet will lots of attention and affection. I work full time and am most active with my own dog in the morning before I start work around 9:30am and then, again, when I get done with work around 6pm. While working from home allows for plenty of excuses to get outside and opportunities for play breaks. Weekends are a balance of snuggling with my dog while bingeing on a good show and enjoying all the dog friendly outdoor spaces the area has to offer us. We can adjust our activity levels, as needed, in order to settle into a routine thats right for your pets. Dogs are always on leash with me on walks unless we’re at an off leash dog park, which would require your permission. I am a pets-are-family kind of gal, so your pets will be treated as such while they’re in my care. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a fenced in courtyard that provides great opportunities for sniffs, playtime, and outdoor lounging. I know it’s hard to be away from your fur baby, and I’m happy to send plenty of photo pupdates if you’d like.
“Krissy is extremely responsive and has great communication. She has save us multiple times, watching our dogs very last minute when other sitters have had to cancel. She takes amazing care of our two pups and we’re grateful to work with her!”
“This is the first time that Jessica has taken care of my cat. I am so pleased with the care she gave him and I am ready to rebook for my next trip. Jessica showed up as I requested, spent time with my cat, sent me pictures and notes on the visit, then locked up when she left. I’m so happy I chose Jessica for my cat care.”
“Shannon did a great job. We loved the updates every day, everything was followed-through that we spoke about, and our kitties happily received us on our return. Overall, a really smooth and easy process and we will be glad to make this decision again.”
“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!”
“Giada went above and beyond our expectations. She came out after a horrific weather event here last week in Palatine. She even sent us pics and updates of the storm damage done to our property too as well as telling us our kitty was safe!”
“All went very well. Appears my cats were perfectly attended to as expected. I suspect Carl managed things I had forgot to instruct. Will definitely try to rebook Carl on next opportunity.”
About: I have had a dog since I was 5, and have been caring for him since he was a puppy through to adulthood and elderly age. I've also housed and cared for three dogs at once for months at a time, all varying breeds and ages and sizes. Additionally, I worked in animal husbandry in a professional setting at my university. I’m currently working part-time, and have the most availability on weekdays! I’m free all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Wednesdays I’m typically free in the afternoon and evening. I love being outdoors whenever possible, and am more than happy to take your dog on long walks! I’m a very detailed person who always gets the job done, and your pet’s safety is my utmost priority. I can feed, play with, take outside, clean up accidents, or just keep your pet company for hours at a time.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since early childhood. One of my childhood dogs, a silky terrier named Minnie, lived to be 16 years old. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. My current dog is leash reactive and requires special attention on walks. I can also provide care for other pets such as cats, fish, frogs, geckos, etcetera. I am very flexible on evenings and weekends to provide care as well as some early mornings during the week. Even though I have a full time job outside of pet care, I want to dedicate as much time as possible taking care of animals. Your dog's safety is my priority, and we will either play outside in your fully fenced in backyard or take a walk in an area safe for us. I can handle many different behaviors for leashed dogs including dog reactivity, squirrel or small animal chasing, etcetera.
“I felt at ease knowing that Jaclin was looking after my Jeanne! She's done a great job building a rapport with her and did a great job taking care of her! Highly recommend her if you need someone to look in on your pets!”
About: Peace of Mind While You’re Away Hi, I’m Maggie! As a local, mom and business owner, as well a life long animal lover and pet owner, I bring a level of professional maturity, structural stability, and specialized experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Schaumburg and surrounding areas. With a flexible daily schedule, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless, predictable routine. My Background & Specializations: * Multi-Pet Households: Highly experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics, complex feeding routines, and individual medication schedules. * Sensitivities & Anxiety: Specialized in providing structured, calm care for dogs with environmental anxieties, sound phobias, or strict behavioral routines. My core focus is primarily on high-quality daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting selectively on a case-by-case basis for compatible homes. Service Breakdown: * DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a mid-day refresh! Every drop-in includes a 10–15 minute neighborhood stroll or backyard playtime for physical relief and mental stimulation, alongside a fresh food/water top-off, medication administration, and indoor companionship. The Rover Report: You'll receive a detailed Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a complete potty/behavior update. * WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to continuous, focused outdoor exercise—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's natural pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. Important Heat Safety Note: To keep your pups safe, when the heat index rises above 90°F, outdoor walks will be shortened to quick potty breaks to protect paws and prevent heat stroke. The remaining time booked will be spent indoors doing fun brain games, low-energy play, or getting plenty of belly rubs and fresh water! * HOUSE SITTING (Overnights): A premium, dedicated care experience designed to keep your pup's stress low in their own familiar environment. Includes complete adherence to their established routine, basic home care (watering plants, rotating trash/mail), and consistent communication with daily photos. To guarantee the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only accept ONE house-sitting client at a time and book exclusively based on household compatibility. As a self-employed professional, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable, personalized pet care tailored to your families and their furry friend's needs. How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks and ensure my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rolling Meadows
This was our first time using Rover and Carl made this experience amazing. We had him drop in to care for our 3 Cats, during his visits he was great at communicating if we needed any special requests from him. He did an amazing job, I would most definitely book him again in the future. We just returned from our trip and our Kitties were healthy, happy and well taken care of. Thank you Carl!
This was our first time using Rover and I am so happy we found Shannon. My cats are generally very shy until they get to know someone. It usually takes someone new being a guest in our home multiple times before the cats come out of hiding. Max ran for the back bedroom when the doorbell rang for our Meet & Greet with Shannon but a few minutes later he was rubbing up on her asking for affection. I was more than a little surprised. He knows who he can trust. I was very happy when Shannon sent pictures of both cats walking towards the door to greet her when she came over every day just as she said she would. We will be contacting Shannon again as soon we know we'll be away from home - we are confident we will be leaving the cats with someone who cares about animals.
We had Nicole drop in on our 2 shorthair cats for around a week and a half while me and my (now) husband were getting married, and she was famtastic! She was receptive and quick to respond, and it felt like our babies were well taken care of when we returned. I would absolutely boom her again!
Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for throughout our trip. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We would gladly book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾 Thank you, Alexandra! 😊
Sarah was wonderful with all of my pets. She had her hands full and handled it like a Champ! I was very comfortable with Sarah and would recommend her highly! She is amazing and I couldn’t be more appreciative! She gets 100 stars in my book! Very atttentive and loving! Thank you for taking care of all 6 of the animals while we were gone! Well worth it!
Alexis is great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond for my two cats. They clearly adored her as one of my cats is quite shy and usually hides with new people. But he was comfortable with Alexis and came out for her visits. I will definitely book with Alexis again.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rolling Meadows. 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 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.
