About: We are passionate animal lovers who share our home with our cat, Butter, and our dog, Fancy. Raising and training our high-energy puppy has given us firsthand experience with the importance of enrichment, exercise, socialization, and positive reinforcement. We grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and together we provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment for every pet in our care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or a little extra attention, we’ll treat them like family and ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our routine, allowing us to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. We can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. We maintain a clean, safe environment and provide updates with photos. We treat every pet as if they were our own, with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.
“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.”
“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!”
“Rena was communicative, on-time and patient with Garbanzo! He is wary of strangers and she made sure he was comfortable and taken care of. We would definitely use Rena again and plan on reaching out in the future.”
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!
“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: 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.
About: I have 2 sweet dogs that I have had since they were puppies. I have helped take care of dogs (puppies, elderly, and special needs) and cats while the owners were away. Both of my dogs are 60 pound pit bulls and I walk them at the same time. I love dogs and they bring joy to my life. Every dog deserves the extra attention when their parent can’t give it to them at that moment. I am currently in college, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of availability to walk and play with your amazing pets. I am available most mornings, nights, and weekends In clients' homes, I always clean up and spend plenty of time playing and walking them. I am great with dogs because I have my own puppies and I know plenty of tricks to get their energy out.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Kayci! I have been rescuing animals since I was a kid. I have experience with everything from abandoned newborns to elderly pets. I am familiar with medicine administration, light therapy, bathing, etc,. I am happy to walk, play with, board or even take your fuzzy/furry to their vet visits. Any questions or special requests, just let me know! While I love all animals, I do not accept reptiles or eight-legged babies! Sorry! My availability is pretty flexible, as I'm a real estate agent who works from a home office. I am willing to work with those looking for long term care, as well as one-time visits.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Streamwood
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.
Had a great experience with this wonderful individual. She watched our saltwater fish tank and couple of our other smaller tanks the week we were traveling. Highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care. The attention to detail and the respect shown to our little friends was remarkable.
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Streamwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
