About: I am a certified Dog Obedience Instructor and have also completed Service Dog training. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I completed my externship at an animal shelter, where I gained practical experience with dog handling, obedience training, and positive reinforcement. I can provide safe and responsible dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, puppy care, and help reinforce good behavior during walks and visits. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and individual attention. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and training sessions on weekdays and weekends. I can adjust my schedule depending on your dog’s routine and individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. As a certified dog trainer, I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions and use positive, respectful handling. During walks and visits, your dog will receive my full attention and care.
“Jacqueline was wonderful with our cats, she gave written updates at each visit and was proactive in asking us questions to make sure they were getting the proper care. Would absolutely work with her again!”
“Rena was amazing!! 10/10 will be booking with her again. All of my four cats loved her! She did exactly as instructed and even called to clarify when there was any questions. Super responsive, respectful and responsible. I was so nervous because it was my first time using rover for my fur children but Rena made everything so easy and helpful. I’m so grateful! 💌”
“Thank you, Taylor, for taking such great care of Smoki Bell. I knew she was in great hands with you watching her while I was away on vacation. 10/10 would recommend you to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you, again! 🤍”
“First time working with Annie and we are all so grateful she could help us take care of our two fur babies while on vacation for 5 days. She was friendly, gentle, and communicative. Loved reading her notes and seeing pictures. Thank you!!”
“Thank you Evie so much for watching Bella while I was away for the weekend! She was happy and content when I came home-thanks for always being reliable and very kind to my baby!”
“Casey was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town and kept us updated on everything. I was at ease knowing Casey was stopping in and my cat was being cared for so well. The best!!”
“Thank you, Fatima for the updates on my fur babies. I love the pictures of them playing. Thank you for feeding them on time and being so patient and sweet with them. Thank you for keeping the lines of communication open with me. Thank you for breaking down the boxes I had left in my kitchen and putting them in recycling and my home was cleaner than what I left it. I apologize for that but I so appreciate you taking care of those boxes. I think the best part was when I came home and the cat TV was on and there were bird sounds and butterflies and it was just such a pleasant sound positive sound when I walked into my home. My cats were calm and happy. Thank you so much. !”
“Kristina is excellent pet sitter! She is great with communication and will follow instructions with no problem. She did a great job watching my cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“Morgan watched our elderly cat Bear in our home while we traveled. She did a great job with Bears daily syringe medication and took great care of our house while we were gone - it was very clean when we came back. She is a great pet sitter and we’d love to have her back again.”
About: We've used Rover for years for our Zoey. It has always been great to know she is safe and happy when we're away. We want to provide that same relief when you need to be away from your furry friend. We've had dogs for 20 years and that doesn't even count the pets we had growing up. We will provide your dog with all the comforts of home including a big fenced in yard. Although I normally work outside of the house, my husband James works from home and our daughter lives here while in college. That means lots of love and care for your doggies throughout the day. Safety is our top priority so you can feel confident in leaving your pet in our care. We have a large, fenced in yard. We understand anxious pets because we have one! We promise pictures and updates (if that's what you'd like!)
About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I am very responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I take time to follow instructions closely, respect routines, and give each pet the attention they need. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care that builds trust with both pets and their owners. I work almost full-time on weekdays, but I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to ensure pets get reliable, consistent, and loving care. I care for pets in their own home by following routines closely and making safety my top priority. I ensure dogs are fed, walked, and given attention according to instructions, while keeping them calm, comfortable, and secure. I always respect the client’s home and aim to build trust through reliable, attentive care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Schaumburg
Mya did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Nelli, while we were away on a trip. From the moment they met, Nelli warmed up to Mya right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Mya was reliable, caring, and clearly attentive to Nelli’s needs. We appreciated the updates and knowing our cat was in such good hands. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and would absolutely recommend Mya to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Maggy was wonderful with our cat, Suki! He isn’t the most people-friendly cat, but he got along really well with Maggy. She was attentive, caring, and always made sure Suki had everything he needed. We really appreciated the updates and care she provided while we were away. We would definitely book with Maggy again! :)
♥️Ashley and Andrew are a very personable and responsible couple that we had the pleasure of hiring for our cat care needs. They took A+ care of our 13 and 3 year old cats. The cats are so happy. We could tell that they were well taken care of and spoiled with attention during our vacation. These two people are high on our list of the very best kind of people that we have met and would most definately rehire. We love the ease of choosing the perfect sitters thru Rover, kind, knowledgeable, people keeping us up to date with every visit with a report and pictures♥️ Very reassuring🤗. Thank you Ashley and Andrew.. we had a wonderful vaca!!
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!
I’m very happy to have found Doreen as a cat sitter. She visits once a day and is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly cares about animals. She even feeds the few feral cats who have taken up residence on my back deck and includes photos of them in her updates. One of my cats is extremely difficult and dislikes just about everyone, but he clearly tolerates her (which is very high praise) and is always waiting for his food when she arrives. My other cat requires two pills daily, and she has no trouble giving them to him.

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.

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 .

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.
