“Eric was amazing with our cat Pauli - he was really thoughtful and sweet, and even helped us keep things from falling apart when our flight had a last minute cancellation!”
About: Our fur baby, Maggie, a chocolate lab recently passed away at 13. We'd had her since she was 8 weeks so the house feels too quiet now. We miss her so much and while we can't commit to getting our own dog again just yet, we'd love to help care for your fur baby while you travel. Since we do have two kids though we need to ensure the pets we host are non-aggressive and good with kids. My husband and I work full time from home and we miss our daily walks with Maggie. Our schedules allow for the flexibility for walks, potty breaks, and play time. We're fortunate that we have a high, privacy fenced in yard to allow for great outdoor play time. We will only host one dog at a time so your special pet will receive 1x1 care. We do have children so it's important your dog has been around kids before.
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Liz was great with our cat Natasha who is 19 years old. She hit it off immediately which is saying something for Natasha. Liz knew how to administer medicine which was a perk of selecting her because we needed to keep Natasha on her daily medication regimen. We received pictures and updates daily on her food intake and outputs. We plan booking Liz again when we need a sitter.”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats over the holidays. Even our skittish one would come out for them. We loved the daily photos we received and the quick communication. Great job, we will definitely hire again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with both large and small breeds. I currently help care for my two Saint Bernards and have also dog sat Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and smaller dogs with my mom. As a student-athlete, I’m very active and used to maintaining routines, so I can handle walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets lots of attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m a student-athlete, so staying active and responsible is already part of my daily routine. I lift every weekday morning from 9–10am and practice from 11am–12pm, which still gives me plenty of time during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule while caring for my own dogs, so your pets will always get attention, exercise, and reliable care. I’ve grown up around dogs and currently care for two Saint Bernards, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also helped my mom dog sit Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and smaller dogs, so I’m experienced with a wide range of sizes and temperaments. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and cared for while keeping owners updated and following any routines or instructions closely.
About: No time spent with a pet is wasted! I love animals so much, and am super accommodating to the type of attention they want. My cats and dog are so important to me-as I imagine yours are to you-so I’d love to help take care of yours while you’re away! I am currently working freelance roles, so my availability is very open and flexible. This means I’m happy to accommodate yours pets usual routine times. Pets are so special. I will provide both a calming and/or energetic presence depending on their personality. I’m very reliable and on-time, and will make sure your pets needs and wants are met!
“This was my 4th time booking Cara for cat drop-ins while I was out of town. I would definitely book her again! As always, Cara was communicative and professional. There were some changes to my cat's routine due to changes in the home & health changes on the kitty's part, and Cara was super detail-oriented about following every instruction. If there was something that was ambiguous, she reached out to me to double check what she should do, which I appreciated so much. Her Rover reports and photos are thorough and show me she really understands my cat's personality and needs. It's hard for me to relax when I have to leave my cat, but I always feel much better knowing he has Cara watching him!”
“Jeany was so great! My cat seemed to love her! She took a good amount of photos, cleaned up any messes, and had plenty of cuddle time with our gal. Next time we are away she will be my go to, if she is available that is. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Jeany.”
About: Been taking care of pets both large and small in the vet field for around 10 years. Well versed in medication administration young or old Work full time. Plan to have many walks or check ins with your pets or availability to administer medications as needed to pets when I am booked. Can do overnights and mornings during work days but full days when I am not working. I have a gunner kennel for use while traveling. Comfortable with many kinds of breeds and collars and harnesses. Very active so able to get your pets excersize
“Zhaoli did a great job checking in on our Winnie. She was very communicative with us throughout her 2 visits. Our girl gets very scared at first but warmed up soon to her. Zhaoli left the house in great shape as well. I would definitely recommend her. Thanks so much for taking care of Winnie while we were out!”
“Rachel is fantastic with our older Lab, she asks great questions and monitors and alerts us to anything out of the ordinary. Super dependable and professional.”
“Andi, has been an excellent caregiver for Cakes. She went above and beyond to interact with Cakes who is very shy and hides from strangers. Andi also followed our instructions well and checked in each day writing about her visit with Cakes. I hope she will be available next time we need a caregiver for Cakes. We can highly recommend her! I would like to give Andi a $50 tip for her excellent work. SWC”
About: I've been caring for pets for 8 years: for neighbors, friends, and clients found on Nextdoor. I understand how much our companions mean to us, and I'm dedicated to providing the best care possible to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of your animal. I've taken care of a variety of animals - from dogs and cats, to hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish - including young and elderly. I am comfortable with walks, administering medication, and, of course, playtime! I'm a recent college graduate still looking for a full-time job. I also have a small side gig upcycling clothing, but I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. Just reach out, and we can make something work! I will care for your pet exactly as you want me to. I try to simulate their daily routine as closely as possible to build trust with them. I do not care for pets in my own home, but I am comfortable staying overnight with your pet, with daily check-ins, and anything else needed. With daily check-ins, I try to stay for AT LEAST an hour each visit, to provide sufficient company and to take care of anything I need to. Depending on the animal's needs, I will visit 2-3 times/day.
“Valentina is such a lovely person with a special love for animals. She is my favourite cat sitter I have found on rover! Thank you for taking good care of my kitties!! Highly recommend her :)”
“Silvana took care of our cat and 2 birds while we were out of town for the weekend. She did a wonderful job and we couldn't have been happier with the attentive care she provided. She clearly followed my instructions, sent detailed updates on how they were doing, and sent some great photos! Thank you Silvana! We would love to hire you again!”
“Ace was a fabulous sitter with a difficult cat who never comes out when a sitter is involved, but he came out for her and that is a giant plus. We are very pleased with her.”
“Highly recommended! We reached out to Yihua to see if she could take care of Hacker, while we were away on a business trip. She responded promptly and arranged a meet-and-greet ahead of time to meet us and Hacker, which immediately gave us confidence. During the visit, she carefully asked about Hacker’s daily routines, feeding preferences, and any additional tasks needed for each visit. We told her that besides changing the water and refilling dry cat food, it would be great if she could also give him a lick-able cat treat and 10–12 pieces of cat's multivitamin each time. She took detailed notes and made sure everything was clear. Throughout the week we were away, Yihua did an outstanding job. She not only took wonderful care of Hacker and spent time playing with him, but also sent us plenty of photos and short videos, which really reassured us while we were out. When we returned home, Hacker was in great condition. It was obvious he had been very well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Yihua again for pet sitting in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Ben did a great job with our three cats. He arrived reliably to take care of their necessities, and ensured each cat got some attention and play time. This was especially important for our most skittish cat who can be hard to coax out, especially when her brothers like to hog the toys. We immediately noticed when we got home that she was more interactive and assertive at play time which is fantastic. He always sent us pictures and short videos from each visit, and we looked forward to each of them daily. We would definitely hire him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ames Lake on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
