About: I have my own bull mastiff, trained him myself. Sit, stay, pray, paw, lay down, and he doesn’t pull on the leash and taught him how to “go home”. I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I have had a few and my mom has been on rover for 10 years dog sitting. I am a College student with primarily online classes so my schedule is flexible. I am not on campus, and am currently at home in Rolling Meadows. I care for pets in my own home as if they were my own. Very responsible college athlete, just finished my 3rd year of basketball and will graduate with my bachelors in May. Mindful of other peoples property and environments.
“Maricela did drop in visits for us while we were on a cruise. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was super responsive to messages and always checking in. I have such a hard time leaving our pets for vacation but she made that part of the trip so easy for us. I would refer her to anyone who needed pet sitting services. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Honestly such a relief to have found such a great cat sitter. Ashley provided daily pictures, played with our cats and made being away from our cats worry free! 100% would recommend, will be using her services in the future anytime we travel.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Madeline did a great job with Madison especially with kind of a last minute booking so I appreciate her flexibility. She did a great job with my dog and I came home to a happy dog so I would definitely book her again!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets are family. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care so that pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to build trust with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, an adult dog who enjoys walks and playtime, or a senior pet who requires extra attention and gentle care, I will tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I pride myself on maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and affection, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I currently have summers off, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. This flexibility enables me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and last-minute requests. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I have a friendly beagle, a fully fenced yard for supervised play and exercise, and accommodations to help pets feel at home. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
“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 love furry animals such as dogs and cats. I also have experience as a caregiver for senior citizens. I had a dog from a rescue shelter for 5 years until she unfortunately passed away. I have open availability and work around my kids school schedule. I can support your pets with their needs in walking, playing, and eating. I look forward to helping your family. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment and can take them for walks around my apartment complex. I live in a safe neighborhood. I will provide safety in the clients home by keeping the doors locked and fence closed after walking your pet.
“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”
“Did a great job caring for my cat. Didn't require a prior meeting and greet and followed my texted care instructions with no problems. Also brought in packages that were delivered without being asked, very appreciated.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more impressed. I chose Faatima because she had great reviews with cats and I couldn’t be more pleased with how nice she was. Faatima took great pictures of my cats eating and playing. They were so well taken care of. We were always up to date on when she was at the house. I highly recommend Faatima & will definitely be using her on our next vacation. Thank you for loving out boys while we were out of town!”
About: I have two years of experience training puppies (potty/crate training and beginner-advanced commands). I'm patient and let dogs sniff around as much as they please on walks so they get all that good sensory stimulation! I also live near a dog park, and I love taking dogs out to run around and play. Luckily enough, I work from home and am able to watch dogs throughout the day and night, with the ability to take dogs out on as needed bathroom breaks and to play with/train/walk them a throughout the day. Dogs can feel super safe and comfortable at my home! I have a small fenced backed patio with a grassy area. Since I have a small dog, my home is fairly dog-proof. I have multiple dog beds and a play area, not to mention a big selection of toys to choose from!
About: I grew up in a home always having at least 2 pups running around & have always enjoyed being around animals. While I have always helped out with our own animals ever since I was little, I have been house sitting/pet sitting for others since I was 10! I also have experience with a wide age range, from puppies to senior pups. I have a few families I regularly dog-sit consistently that I’ve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my “dog family” & love on your pup while you’re away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm and Fridays after 1pm. I have full availability on weekends for all the cuddles, walks & fetch games we can fit in! I have a cat - Luna - who is the sweetest ball of fluff you will ever meet, however, she is very anxious and shy. While she does very well with other cats, she doesn’t do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.
About: All Fur Babies Are Family! 🐾 Hey there, pet lovers! I’m all about bringing fun, love, and genuine care to every furry friend I meet. From a young age, animals have held a special place in my heart, and it brings me so much joy to give them the attention and affection they deserve. I started pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family when I was just 13, and it quickly became clear that caring for animals was more than just a hobby—it was a lifelong passion. I’ve also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I learned the importance of creating a positive, nurturing, and safe environment for every pet. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re cherished family members who fill our lives with unconditional love and happiness. That’s why I treat every fur baby I care for as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with five large dogs and two cats. Though my beloved pets have since passed, each one taught me something unique about different breeds, personalities, and the special bonds we share with our animals. Whether your furry friend is big or small, playful or shy, you can rest assured they’ll be in caring and capable hands. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and filled with love—because every pet deserves to feel like part of the family. 💕 I currently work a 9-5 job Monday through Friday. When I am not working will be spending all of my time making sure your fur babies are being taken care of and shown much love! My pet-sitting services are solely offered in the client's home, drop-ins or walking. I will make sure to maintain a safe and happy environment for your pets. I am happy to follow through with your pet's daily routine and schedule. During my stay, I ensure your pet has fresh water and food, and plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them active and healthy. I will take the time to learn your pet's unique needs and behaviors, providing personalized care that promotes both their physical and emotional well-being.

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.
Mya was amazing from the moment we and the dogs met her. She was very friendly and tentative to the dogs, asked a lot of questions to make sure she was taking care of them as we would! Mya was very easy to communicate with and was also accommodating to our very hectic schedule! We will definitely be booking with her again and if you care about your pets you should book with her as well!
Lia is great!! I have two dogs, one of whom is reactive, and she was completely understanding and willing to work with her. I was super nervous about it, but her knowledge and experience with dogs put my mind at ease super quick. My dogs LOVED her right away, and were so happy to walk with her. 10/10 recommend!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Schaumburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Schaumburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
