“Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog Frankie. She did a great job communicating with us when she did her drop-in visits. I will definitely recommend Rachel to my friends.”
“Bonnie was so great!!! It was the first time leaving our dog home for a weekend and she took such great care of him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog. She is exceptional!!”
“I had a great experience with Tasha and knew our dog was in great, caring hands during drop in visits while we were away. I definitely recommend Tasha’s care and will be looking to book with her in the future!”
“THANK YOU LAUREN FOR WATCHING OUR GIRL, Piper ♥️💋 we appreciate your exceptional communication with us so we can have peace of mind while we are away on our trip.”
“Our first experience with Rover was with Elyse - start to finish she has been amazing! We are absolutely thrilled to have found her. It means so much to know how loved and cared for our girls are when we are away ?”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets since I was nine years old. I currently care for my five-year-old French Bulldog who had a stroke as a puppy and has partial paralysis, so I’m very experienced with giving pets extra patience, attention, and care. I’m a special education teacher with summers off and availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your fur babies and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and often care for friends’ pets when they’re away. I’m more of a homebody, so I’m available most of the day on Saturdays and Sundays to provide attentive, reliable care. I’m not currently offering boarding or daycare services. However, if that changes in the future, I do have a fenced backyard and take daily walks with my dog, so pets staying with me would receive plenty of love, attention, and regular walks.
“I cannot recommend Mikayla highly enough for the care and attention she showed my 2 cats. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little unsure what to expect in terms of how much time a pet sitter would spend with a pet and their attention to such details as feeding, cleaning litter boxes and interacting with the pets. Well, I can say without an exaggeration that Mikayla went above and beyond all of these areas during her visits with my cats. I appreciated her communication (with photos of my cats!!), questions and how knowledgeable she was about cats. The ultimate compliment I can give to confirm her professionalism is that when I arrived home my cats were chill, happy and not fighting! I think they will miss her!! :)”
About: For my first birthday, my parents' landlord gave them a puppy to give to me as a present. Since then, I've rarely been without at least one dog or cat companion. I've cared for dozens of pets for friends and family over the years: dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even the occasional reptile. I'm ready to give your pet the care and attention they deserve! I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I’m available both weekdays and weekends. Morning, afternoon, or evening, whatever works best for you and your pet! I have tons of experience with dogs and cats and can follow any directions and honor any requests you have so that you can feel certain your pet is getting safe, loving, and quality care.
About: We are a family of four with two dogs of our own! We have experience with elderly dog care (doggy diapers and being consistent with and administering medication) and we are used to the puppy stages. We have been animal owners for many years and we will care for your animals like we do our own!! With two adults and two kids to help care for your pet, we are available to support your animal! We are home all evening, weekends, and some weekdays. Pets are family! We understand the importance of patience, care, building relationships, and consistency to help the pet and their owner feel comfortable. We are reliable and trustworthy.
“Alexis is the best and worked really hard to make Walter feel comfortable, I will definitely be using her again. Let me tell you a story. One morning, Alexis was checking on my dog. She accidentally locked herself out of my house. Bummer, right? I was really mad for a while. Not Alexis' fault, since I thought my roommate wasn't going to be home but he actually was and locked her out without realizing it. Anyway, instead of leaving my dog in the yard and leaving, she stayed with my dog until I came home from camping that afternoon, gave him water, walked him extra, and kept him from freaking out. She really treated my dog like her own.”
About: In addition to growing up on a farm with dogs and many animals, I have had many years of experience not only watching but working with all kinds of animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 years and I have animal sat (dogs, puppies, cats, farm animals, etc) for family and friends and have become their go to sitter! As a student during the summer, I have an open schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention while respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy, loving care, and treat every pet like family.
About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy
About: I have cared for pets in a variety of contexts including while babysitting, stop-by check-ins, and live-in per care for a few days at a time. Additionally, I am known to spend more time hanging out with the pets at friends’ houses than with the people there. I am a student with sporadic breaks throughout the day perfect for checking-in or dog walks. Though my schedule varies a lot day-to-day and throughout different months I often can make most requests work. I follow given or written instructions to a T. Additionally I prefer to follow the pets lead, within reason, not forcing myself into their space or making them “like” me, rather waiting for them to approach me.
“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! I felt very comfortable with her dropping in to care for my cat. I appreciate her detailed updates and photos from her visits. Stephanie will love your pets like their her own 😊”

Rachel is the best! She goes above and beyond as a sitter. One of our cats is very anxious and Rachel was so patient with her and even checked in on her an extra time after she refused to take her meds. She even rearranged the drop in schedule when we realized the cats needed a different time of day for their food and meds. It’s such a relief going out of town and knowing our girls are being cared for so well! Thanks Rachel!
Elyse met up with us at it home to get a general lay of the land; to see what we needed and it turns out that she is a super wonderful woman. We had her come by to make sure our super shy cat, Anne Bonny, was fed. Now, I hardly see this cat and she loves me, but on day one, Anne Bonny was rolling over and letting Elyse rub her belly! I'm hoping that Elyse is available every time we need to go out of town!

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 2,606 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cottage Grove. 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.
