âMaggy is great! Good communication, takes good care of Sky even when cat was hiding due to storms. I really appreciate how she accommodated our last minute change in plans. 5 stars ++â

âThe best of the best! Casey is always our go-to and provides us with the best updates that let us know she really cares about our cats. Weâre so thankful for her!â

About: Iâve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 8, my family runs an animal rescue shelter where I have done volunteer work for free and have been helping with all kinds of activities such as dog walking, cleaning, promotion, etc. We have a large park area right outside our house where we always walk our dog, other dogs being walked may be around and the dogs love the huge open park area. Plenty of areas to walk and everyone is very friendly! I have a very safe environment and neighborhood for your pup, everyone in the house is an animal lover with experience and love in caring for fur babies, we have all kinds of dog toys and can set up crates if needed!

About: I have been taking care of dogs ranging from a few lbs to 100+ lbs for years! I have also been caring for different types of cats just as long :) Growing up we always had a dog in the house, so that has made me super comfortable to be around them. Whether Iâm walking, feeding, cleaning, or administering medication, I am definitely not afraid of the job! I am a proud mama of 2 cats named Archie and Simon. They are my absolute world! I will make sure to give your pets the same care, caution, attention, and love I give my boys! Pet care has always been a passion of mine. In fact, I went to school for it! Although I did not end up pursuing my desire to become a veterinarian, I still try to incorporate that love for animals in my day to day life! I have an extremely flexible work schedule that allows me to almost work fully remote. I would be able to stop over at the house pretty much whenever you need me to. My work set up also allows me to work anywhere if needed. My weekends are almost always open as well! I will always make sure to talk through your expectations to ensure you are comfortable with the nature of each type of visit. I typically would not host any pets in our home. We have a fenced in backyard and several spaces; however, I would not want to put your pet or my cats in an uncomfortable space. At a clients home, I am more than comfortable with backyard access, crate training, cleaning litter boxes, accessing food/water, and any other requirements for the visit! (Totally fine bringing in mail/watering plants!) I will only access the spaces you need me to. I am also fine spending the night if needed. That would be something we could discuss case by case!
âJackie was fantastic! My pup Hera loved her from the get go and they had a great walk together. Happy to report I have one tired and happy pup after Jackieâs visit.â

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 Iâve met through rover, and would love to add some new faces to my âdog familyâ & love on your pup while youâre away! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday, these days I am free after 6/7pm. I have full availability on Fridays and 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 doesnât do well with dogs. Watching your pup in their own environment would be ideal, not only for them, but for her.
âFaatima was wonderful with our cats, and from pictures alone we know they were comfortable and enjoyed her. We could tell at the meet and great the genuine care she would have for them. Her communication has been thorough and very timely throughout the process. We have already booked another visit with her.â

âPhilip was great with our lab. He spent much time playing catch with her... which is what she Loves to do. He was there right on time on each visit. We were very impressed by the Rover Card. Fantastic action shots. When he returned with our key our pup was excited to see him... a sign of what a great job he did to make her comfortable with him. Also Philip has a great personality, happy and full of life. We will keep him in mind for another sittings.â

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years I have also fostered in the past I love to play and take care of them and make sure they get the love and care they deserve I work a job but have plenty of time to come and take care of your pets I love animals more than anything I would be a great pet sitter I canât do at my home but I would love to watch your pets in your home I am very reliable and very trustworthy and would love to watch your fur babies
About: Ive worked with all ages, sizes, and breeds. Iâve worked with fearful and shy dogs, aggressive dogs, and 10/10 good dogs. Iâve fostered numerous dogs as well as medical cases. I am well versed in dispensing medication if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. Iâm used to balancing responsibilities while making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether itâs walks, playtime, feeding, or extra cuddles, Iâm happy to make pet care a priority in my day! I like to discuss the animals needs and personality with the owner prior to meeting them to make the pet more comfortable. I care for every animal the same, like they are my own.
About: Hi! Iâve had a dog in my life since I was 5, and over the last 17 years, Iâve cared for all kinds of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I know firsthand how stressful it can feel to leave your fur babies in someone else's care! As a healthcare student, I bring strong attention to detail, reliability, and a huge focus on safety to every single visit. You can always count on quick responses, detailed recap notes, and photo updates so you have complete peace of mind while you're away! I have availability on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday for drop-in visits and walks, allowing me to easily fit caring for your pets into my weekly routine. I am reliable and punctual to ensure your pets stay right on track with their regular feeding, care, and exercise schedules! When Iâm in your home or out on a walk, safety is my absolute priority. Iâm very comfortable following specific instructions for leashing and home security. Iâll make sure your pet is safely secured before I leave and that your home is exactly how you left it.
âEmma was wonderful with Wall-E and Eva! She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. My two orange cats can be particular, and Emma took the time to follow their routines and keep me updated with photos and messages while I was away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I wouldnât hesitate to book with her again, HIGHLY recommend!â

About: Hello! Iâve been working with all sorts of pets since young, not only within my family but checking in with pets of family members and friends. I have had experience with cats and dogs of all types-energetic, sleepy seniors, etc. Iâm currently working from about 8am-3:30pm making it easy for me to pop in before or after work. Weekends are best if needing mid day walks. House sitting works into pretty much any routine for me! I can easily crate your dog if needed! With a dog of my own who is a runner I triple check doors are locked/anything that would harm your pet is out of the way (food, containers, etc.) I also just try to create an environment where your pet can warm up to me!
âSusan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.â


About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions. I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air. I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Schaumburg
Mya was absolutely wonderful with my cat Genevieve and was very understanding that she can be slow to warm up to new people. She totally put me at ease and I could tell from the photo updates that Genevieve was very relaxed with her after only a few days. Mya was also a great communicator and respectful of the house space. I definitely will be asking if she can watch Genevieve again in the future!

Maggy was wonderful with our cat, Suki! He isnât 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! :)

âĽď¸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 picturesâĽď¸ Very reassuringđ¤. Thank you Ashley and Andrew.. we had a wonderful vaca!!

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Schaumburg is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,871 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Schaumburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Schaumburg. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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, youâll 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.
