“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.”
“Jackie & Uriel were incredible with Brick for drop in visits in the evenings while we were on vacation. They walked Brick each visit and he loved it! They kept us updated on literally everything! We got a report card with notes, photos, videos, potty details, treats given, etc. We would definitely hire them again!”
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.
“♥️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!!”
“Taylor did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town for 6 days. She arrived as scheduled and followed instructions related to feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. She communicated daily through the Rover app with updates and pictures. Our cat responded very well to Taylor and was happy to see her during her visits. Would definitely use Taylor again!!”
“Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.”
“There aren’t enough words to give praise to Maggy. She makes it possible for us to enjoy our time away from our babies, as difficult as it is. She is amazing and provides over the top, excellent care!”
“Rena did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. Her drop in notes were very detailed and she took plenty of pictures. Both of my cats seemed to warm up to her quickly, which is great because one is sassy and the other can be skittish. I will use her services again!”
“Anna has been doing drop ins for our puppy and older dog for the past couple of weeks. She is always on time and does a great job with them and providing photos and updates! Highly recommend Anna!”
“I am so thankful for having Annie to help check in on our fur babies while we were on vacation with the family! We had to change their diet, and Annie was very understanding and supportive of the changes.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. As a recent Exercise Science graduate, I’m active, responsible, and attentive to detail, so whether your dog needs an energetic walk or a relaxed drop-in visit, I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages every step of the way. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, feeding, playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medications (if applicable), and any routines your pet is used to. I treat every home with respect, make sure pets are secure before leaving, and always strive to create a calm, positive experience so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Things went so well with Brittany while I was traveling. My cats responded well to her and she went above and beyond to even take care of the outdoor cats that like to visit. Definitely will rebook for future needs.”
“We had a medical emergency the same week I had to leave town, and Casey (on very short notice) responded and agreed to watch our dogs twice a day. It's clear that Casey really has a passion and love for dogs, I will definitely use her again”

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! :)

Mya is so kind, gentle, and patient with my senior cat, who has been having up and down health issues lately. She pays attention to the detailed instructions given for each visit and also takes initiative when problem solving on the spot. Prince and I are very grateful and appreciative of her!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Schaumburg on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,958 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Schaumburg. 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 Schaumburg. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
