“Shannon is always reliable and on time. She is very good with Sequoia and is always great about communicating with us on our pup's status. Thank you, Shannon! We appreciate you!”
“Carl did a great job caring for our cat Finn! I knew from the moment we met Carl that Finn would be in good hands. Carl took the time to ask questions, to learn our cat’s routine, was always on time, kept the litter box clean and sent pictures every visit (along with entertaining Rover Cards which we looked forward to). We strongly recommend Carl and will most definitely use him again.”
“Morgan is a very friendly and gentle care giver for our dogs. She is always on time and very patient. I also like that she has tones of experiences in the animal hospital. I’m looking forward to work with Morgan long term and will not hesitate to recommend her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“The best sitter I have had in a long time. Respects property, keeps feeding and litter areas clean, and above all, gives my boys love and affection with each visit. They seem to look forward to seeing her and that’s rare with my shy boys.”
“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”
“Rebekah has come to the rescue with short notice and during a holiday for me. I was fully expecting her not to be available but she was and I’m very grateful for that. She does an awesome job taking care of my 4 legged family when away. Definitely a return customer.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jessica was great! There were some last minute details that I had to iron out because of my apartment building and she was completely understanding and helpful. I got great updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.
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.
About: I am a huge animal person. I'm available daily for your pet needs. I will ensure your cat will have their safety, emotional and overall well being needs met. I WFH and am available daily. I spend quality time with your pet and limit any errands to quick trips if necessary. I try to create a stress free environment. My 6 yr old cat which I separate. I will treat your pet as my own under my care to ensure safety and emotional well-being.
“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.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 6 years old. 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, a mutt named Cali, is leash reactive and requires special attention on walks. No matter what kind of care your dog needs, I am able to provide it. 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.
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs as well as clients dogs while caring for their children when I was a nanny and special needs tutor. Clients and friends feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets in my care. They are not just animals to me. They are part of the family. I am looking to care for your pets on a full time basis. I’m ready to commit to caring for your fur babies as my own. I unfortunately cannot care for your pet in my home, but I am ready, willing and able to come to your home and take exceptional care for your little fur babies!

Sophia took excellent care of our cat while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made it clear our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We came home to a happy cat and a clean home. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!
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!
Shannon has been an excellent sitter for my cat, Apollo. She administers his meds on each visit and gives him lots of attention and love that he clearly loves from the pictures she sends. I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, caring and dependable sitter for your pet.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rolling Meadows on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,875 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rolling Meadows. 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 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
