“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: As a firefighter, my entire career is built on safety, reliability, and handling high-stress situations with a calm, focused mind. I bring that exact same dedication to pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet requires strict medication schedules, you can rest easy knowing they are in highly capable hands. I have experience with our furry friends ranging from puppies with enough energy to power our houses to our senior dogs that need very specific special care instructions throughout the day. Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members. When not on shift there is nothing more I look forward to then spending time with animals. My profession requires a clean background, absolute integrity, and a high level of public trust. You can feel completely secure letting me into your home to care for your furry family members. I treat every member as if they were my own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and routine care no matter how meticulous. Being a professionally trained emergency responder any unexpected situation that arises you can have confidence will be handled in a calm and efficient manner.
“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!”
“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”
“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: Have owned and cared for dogs and cats for 13 years, care for them like they are my own children. Rely on me to protect and love your pets! I enjoy walking and playing with dogs while conversing with them like friends. I spend most of my time with my pets and make sure to include them in things like running errands so they are not bored. I can do anything to assist any kind of pets and their necessities. Whether medical needs or preferences, you can trust me to follow any instructions needed for your pet. I will do anything to make sure your pet is comfortable and feels safe at all times.
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 I’m 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!
“♥️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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kacey was a phenomenal sitter! I was hesitant to use a service like rover, but Kacey make the booking process seamless. I felt she did a great job ensuring my cat had enough attention and play time, was respectful to my home, and was punctual each visit! She sent me tons of pictures, which made me smile and feel at ease while I was away. Thank you, Kacey! You rock ?”
“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!”
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 volunteer at the Anderson Human Society doing doggy days out, and have years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats. I have my own senior cat that i’ve raised for 13 years! Currently I generally work full time mornings and have time in the afternoon evenings for walks and play time! Days off are open for as much time as needed! I have experience with dogs who are boarded during alone time! With the experience of working with shelter dogs, i’ve learned patience works wonders!
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Streamwood
I'm impressed with Mariah. She's friendly and easy to work with. She follows my instructions perfectly. She shows up at the right time each day. She writes detailed summaries of each visit. And she takes a lot of good photos -- even selfies with my cats. When I'm out of town, I'm more relaxed knowing Mariah will be handling the cat duties.
every time we book with her, she is nothing but pleasant and professional. She always communicates with us. Everything that’s going on, she’s always on time and I know we can count on her to take care of our animals. I cannot recommend her enough, I would give her more stars if I could!
Sophia took such great care of our cats while we were away. Our kitten gets medication morning and night, and she handled it perfectly every visit. She also kept their water full, cleaned all of the litter boxes, and still made sure to spend quality time with them instead of just checking the boxes and leaving. Her updates were one of my favorite parts. They were detailed, authentic, and full of pictures that made us feel like we knew exactly how the cats were doing. You can genuinely tell she cares about the pets she’s watching, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from home. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, and I honestly don’t think we could’ve asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with Sophia again!
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 had a small glitch Saturday am. Sitter Didn’t make it until noon to see my cat. Should have been around 9am stop. As soon as I contacted Ashley she apologized and ran over to feed Lola & give her meds. No worries after that. She gave very good details & pictures of how after every drop in went. Lola was well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Streamwood 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 5,830 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.

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.
