“Lauriel was wonderful! My pets were very well taken care of and I don’t even know how much they missed us. They enjoyed her so much! That is how I want to be! She was professional, prompt, and always sent pictures of my dog and cat! We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I figured out at a young age they can help heal the human spirit. I wanted to be like them and heal people so I became a nurse. While working as a home health nurse my patients' pets would get a visit from me too. Now I'm retired from nursing and freelancing. My experience is very diverse and I am hardworking. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week. I'm also available for holidays. I can do early morning walks, mid day, afternoon and evenings rain or shine. I have a big backyard and access to a local dog park as well. I love going on walks and exploring new neighborhoods with new fur friends.
About: I have about one year of hands-on pet ownership experience and have been around animals my entire life. I’ve helped train and care for dogs, including Collies and Hounds, with experience in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, and puppy training. I enjoy walking dogs and providing enrichment to support their physical and mental well-being. I also love bathing dogs too! I have experience with a range of dog personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs, such as medication schedules or mobility considerations. I’m adaptable, patient, and willing to adjust my care style to fit each dog’s individual needs. I try and build my routine that balances and fits my dog and me! This includes daily walks, 10 minute sessions of training, playtime, and decompression time. I also give snuggle and cuddle time, but only if the dog I work with initiates. I also love giving my dog a well balanced diet and hydration especially in this hot weather. I also believe that a dogs world is as big as we allow, and so I love bringing dogs to new adventures, like hiking or a day at the beach. I try to include these at least weekly or bi-weekly. I also love having doggie play dates, and have some minor experience with dogs meeting for the first time! I currently live in an apartment, so I only service for home visits and walking right now. I’m familiar with fenced or semi fenced yards and crating. I have my own dog that I love taking out for walks and training, so if you don’t have a yard that isn’t an issue! I work great when I’m giving instructions in writing or verbal that best helps your doggie!
“Jen was professional and caring. She visited on time every 12 hours to give insulin shots to our elderly cat for an entire week. Our cat is usually afraid of non-family members, but she was comfortable around Jen. When a snow storm prevented us from getting home on time, Jen was flexible and willing to adjust our booking and continue to care for our cat until we made it back. We really loved having Jen as our Petsitter and will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: I've cared for pets for family and friends for many years and understand the trust that comes with caring for someone's home and beloved pets. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would give my own animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from large bully breeds to miniature poodles, as well as cats with special dietary and medication needs. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet owners informed while they're away. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, medication, or simply companionship, I will ensure they are safe, comfortable. I work part time and make my own schedule, so I can likely work your pet into my schedule. I am always communicating with my clients in the event I can't be scheduled so the pets get the best possible care. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting me with your pet is a significant decision. My top priorities are safety, trust, and providing a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable while you are away.
About: I have had the pleasure of being around animals my entire life and have developed extensive experience caring for pets. Over the years, I have provided reliable care for the pets of family members, neighbors, friends, and others. I am comfortable with a variety of animals and am committed to ensuring they receive attentive, compassionate, and dependable care. I currently work part-time and am looking for an opportunity to earn some extra income doing something I truly enjoy. I’m available Mon/Wed the mornings until 3:30pm, Tues/Thurs/Fri full day available and Weekends anytime after 12pm! I can be flexible and always fit in a last minute hustle! I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to care for your furry babies while giving you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always go the extra mile to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable. I pay close attention to detail and always put your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being first.
“Pets were well taken care of. He shared pictures (but I did not receive the written reports the sitters usually share after every visit). He helped as possible with cleaning poop/throw up my puppy left around the house. Quick to reply to my text messages.”
“It is a pleasure to have Brianna as our pet sitter. She takes the time to acknowledge your pet's needs while keeping them busy and entertained while they are under her care. Having Bri watching your pet while you are away from home is a peace of mind.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Jacqueline & Uriel were wonderful! I loved the updates they sent when checking in on my cat Pumpkin. They successfully administered her asthma inhaler twice a day while I was out of the state. The communication and professionalism they both displayed was very much appreciated. My cat Pumpkin loved their pets and playtime visits!”
“Maite did a fantastic job caring for our two cats while my husband and I were away on our wedding trip. She was kind and caring with our cats and did everything within her power to make sure they were well taken care of while we were away. She also was excellent at communicating, and so understanding and flexible whenever we had a special request. We will absolutely be booking Maite again when we need a cat sitter in the future!”
“Jasmin was amazing! She was very communicative and made me feel very comfortable. I knew my cats were in the right hands. She has great experience and took care of them like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“This was the first time we entrusted our girl to April. We were very happy with the pictures and video and detailed note describing her visit. We will definitely call her again.”
“Jaymie was great with my boys! I took my first vacation away from them and Jaymie made sure to give them all the love while I was gone. Will definitely book with her again!”
“She took such great care of our dogs and we had the piece of mind knowing they were being so well cared for! And such a nice person to boot! We will definitely use Penny again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience with almost every kind of pet personality out there. Professionally, I worked as a sales representative at Petland, where I was directly responsible for matching families with ideal animal companions and managing high-touch customer interactions daily. This role gave me hands-on, daily experience caring for, socializing, and handling young puppies, so I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy and strict feeding routines. Beyond my professional background, I grew up with a family Beagle, and as a kid, I was the neighborhood dog walker for an American Bulldog. More recently, I’ve spent plenty of time helping a close friend look after his Australian Shepherd and Aussie mix, so I know exactly what it takes to keep up with highly active, intelligent, and working dog breeds. I’ve also owned fish, a frog, snails and lizards in the past, so I’m comfortable with specialized setups too. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt completely to whatever your pet needs. Whether you have a high-energy dog that needs a solid workout to burn off steam, a young puppy working on routines, or an older dog who prefers a quiet, relaxed neighborhood stroll, I am patient, intuitive, and dedicated. I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and safety that I give my own family pets. My current work schedule gives me a great deal of independence and flexibility throughout the week. Because I manage my own day-to-day shifts rather than a traditional desk job, I can easily plan my hours around your pet's specific needs. Whether that means stopping by for early morning check-ins, taking long mid-day walks, or providing dedicated house-sitting coverage, I build my routine around ensuring total consistency. Your pet won't have to wait around for their normal feeding times, potty breaks, or exercise. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my absolute top priority. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I treat your space with total respect and keep things clean and secure. I’m very vigilant about the little details; making sure doors and gates are securely latched, keeping potential hazards completely out of reach, and following your specific house rules to the letter. When we’re out on walks, I keep a close eye on the surroundings, maintain a firm grip on the leash, and avoid unpredictable situations with other strange animals. I'm also big on communication, so I’ll always send you quick text updates and photo check-ins so you can relax knowing they are safe and having a great time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Streamwood
She went above and beyond with communicating how my elderly cat was doing while we were away. She let me know when my cat had a hard time walking/getting up and when she was doing better. She was also willing to help my cat with her mobility issues. I was very nervous about leaving my 18.5 yr old cat alone, but this communication helped tremendously. I was able to rest assured that my cat was being very well taken care of.
We recently moved to knew area, which meant getting a new pet setter. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Amithyst. / She did a good job checking in on the cats every other day while we were out of town. Also she responded promptly when texted. / We’ll definitely use her services again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Streamwood on Rover is $24.42 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 5,803 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Streamwood. 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 Streamwood. On Rover:

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.
