“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: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
“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.”
About: My love for animals hasn’t changed since I was a kid. I have babysat for several family members, staying at their houses, housing their pets for months and visiting them. I am attentive to their needs, if they need extra attention for house training or have separation anxiety, I intend to help them through it. I will never do something the pets don’t trust and I can follow any request from the owners, if there is something special. I work part-time and going to school, so my schedule is a bit everywhere. However, I keep Tuesdays open all day and can open days up if I’m capable! I will try my best to make time for those who need loving. I am very attentive to my clients pets in their home. I like to go where they feel most comfortable, adhere to the routine they are use to and keep everything safely away. I double check any entrance before leaving, ensure nothing is left on the floor or in rooms for the pets to grab and check the food/ water bowls for proper amounts.
“This was the 2nd time we have used Casey & Hung for drop in visits for our 2 cats for the weekend. I plan to continue having them help with the kitties while were away; they brought in our packages, cleaned up after a mess our cat made and left some treats & catnip for them! Thank you guys!!”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays any time. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed but I’m pretty sure my pet and yours will be best friends
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’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! My weekday availability is primarily in the early mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for before work and evening visits. I’m also available on weekends with more flexibility throughout the day and will always do my best to work with your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
“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.”
About: I’ve had four dogs in my entire life: a yellow lab, a husky, a german shepherd, and a pitbull! I loved them all so much. My current dog is my 11 year old pitbull, and I love him to pieces. We’ve gotten all our dogs from a young age and because of this I’ve learned how to train puppies. All breeds are different and they all have different personalities, but training mostly stays the same, consistency is key when it comes to training. When I had my german shepherd puppy, I went to a professional trainer and he basically taught me how to train my dog. I loved training my gsd, he was an excellent listener and was highly intelligent! Aside from training, i like to go on walks myself, so i enjoy walking my dog. I love to play with them and keep them busy. I’m an observer too, so if anything is wrong with my dog, I’m usually the first one to notice. I’m patient with dogs, and I always make sure they’re doing okay (and not eating something they’re not supposed to). Dogs are precious animals and I consider them a member of your family, I will respect them as such. I currently work 4 days out of the week, so I’ll be available any time during my off days! That will be Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Sometimes I’m available Saturday’s after 4pm, just ask! Your dog(s) and I can play outside if you have a fenced yard, otherwise I can stay inside and keep them company for a little after our walk. I’ll mostly do what you ask of me. I’ll keep them leashed during our walks, and probably away from other dogs during our walk to avoid any type of negative interactions.
About: Hi! I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 5, and over the last 17 years, I’ve 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 I’m in your home or out on a walk, safety is my absolute priority. I’m very comfortable following specific instructions for leashing and home security. I’ll make sure your pet is safely secured before I leave and that your home is exactly how you left it.
About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.
“Kristina did a fantastic job with our kitties while we were out of town. She was super communicative and flexible with logistics. Would be thrilled to book her again next time we’re out of town.”
“Katelyn was amazing! She was available last min when our original sitter fell through. Shes so sweet, and handled our fur babies with amazing love & care. Would definitely use & recommend her again!”
About: I’m the designated pet sitter in my family and family friends. I’m able to watch and take care of both dogs and cats. I respect your pets time to gain their trust as well as monitoring their body language and behavior to foresee and issues they may have. I’m able to swing by for potty breaks and brief socialization during the day. After 3pm I’m able to spend time with the pets fully. Depending on what day of the week will impact how long I’m able to care for your pet. For both dogs and cats the treatment is different. I’m able to watch body language and respect your pets time so they can adjust to having a new person touch and take care of them.
“So happy Jessica was available to drop in for my Golden Retriever on short notice. She fed and walked her and provided lots of photos throughout. Thanks for caring for Samantha!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Streamwood
Jennifer has gone above and beyond to take care of our dog weekly!! She is always on time and communicates if she needs to make any adjustments. She sends pictures and keeps us updated and we know that our dog is in the best care when she is with him!! We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker/sitter
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!
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 of Pet Sitting in Streamwood is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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 pet’s 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 12,675 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Streamwood. 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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 you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Streamwood. 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
