Cat Sitting Rolling Meadows

“Shannon is a wonderful sitter. My cat has been so at home with her over the two lengthy trips I've been away. She provides good updates and responds quickly to messages. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pet.”

“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!”

Jesus L.

“Emily is the best pet sitter! She gave thorough report cards of her drop-in visits and the cutest pic updates of our two kitties. I can tell she truly loves pets and treated ours like she would her own. Will definitely hire her for any future pet sitting needs.”

“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.”

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”

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! On Monday through Friday, I’m typically free from noon to nighttime. 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.

“Sarah did a great job with my 2 cats, she even kept my bird company without me asking. She was always on time, communicating every day, sending pictures. She is very nice, pleasant and easy to work with. Now I have someone I trust for my cats! Thank you so much!”

Agatha W.

“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!”

“Evelyn is the sweetest and so loving. Great communicator. Didn’t feel any anxiety leaving our boy, Arthur, in her care. Thanks so much Evelyn.”

Melissa S.

“We use Jessica for drop ins with our puppy right now, and I come home to a happy pup who has gotten enough exercise that she's content and not anxious. The photos that Jessica sends show that my dog is clearly having a great time. Definitely recommend.”

About: Hello! My name is Carlee, I’m 26, and I’m offering home visits and dog walking in Arlington Heights and it’s surrounding neighborhoods! I’ve had a passion for wildlife since childhood, and I’ve cared for all sorts of animals from hamsters to horses. I’ve been around dogs of all ages and sizes, but I have the strongest experience with adults/seniors and small dogs. My childhood dog was a mini dachshund who developed dementia and mobility issues in her old age; I was an adult by then and took much care of her. I often pet-sit or do home visits for my family and friends, but this will be my first time using a company like Rover to meet new people and animals! My years of experience reflect my pet-care experience in adulthood. Looking forward to getting to know you and your pets :) I have fairly open availability as I'm currently working part time. I do have a couple established dogs I walk weekly, but it shouldn't be hard to fit someone new into my schedule! I can stop by just to feed your pet and/or let them go potty, take them for a walk, play with and accompany them for a time, or do a combination of these. I can stay with your pet as long as necessary.

“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’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!”

Tarran S.

“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: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. After losing my own beloved senior dogs, I’m not quite ready to bring another dog into my life permanently, but I truly miss having animals around and would love the opportunity to care for yours as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to senior pets who simply want companionship, cuddles and a cozy place to nap. I’ve also cared for large dogs, including my 100-lb Boxer, so bigger pups don’t intimidate me! I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, loved and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible, with plenty of affection and updates for you along the way. I work full-time from 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., but I have flexibility that works really well for pet sitting. I’m available to stay in your home during the workweek as long as you have reliable Wi-Fi, which allows me to work remotely and be there with your pets throughout the day. I’m also available for walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I love having furry coworkers! I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pets and your home in someone else’s care. I will treat your home respectfully and your pets as if they were my own. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions and medications, and I’ll follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Their safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away!

“Cho was very patient with my dog who needs extra help getting around. She took her time with my girl and always made sure she had everything she needed before she left after every drop-in. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Reliable, flexible, good communications. Great with our pup.”

“Haley took great care of our large dogs and came and went as expected. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to walk or let your dogs out.”
