“Dani has been a great caretaker for my cat. She is present, detailed, and loving and able to care for all the details my cat needs, I’m so so grateful and I highly recommend!”
“Lisa was amazing with my boys!! Even my shy and timid baby came out to greet her!! She was on time and sent pics. Lisa was also flexible in accommodating my last minute plans to leave. I highly recommend Lisa!!”
“Willow watched our house and animals while we went overseas for over 2 weeks. She did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, the chickens and Baba the turkey. She also was in charge of keeping our gardens watered during super hot tempertures. And she managed to keep all my bird feeders and hummingbird feeders well maintained. It was a lot to expect from someone, but Willow proved to be the right choice for this job. I am very thankful that we found her. I will definitely use her again for our next outing. Thank you.”
“Mia was thoughtful with communication and followed all instructions. She was great with my pets and also handled an unexpected situation. Overall she is knowledgeable and a very reliable sitter! Would definitely book again.”
“Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.”
“Hannah clearly has a heart for animals! I had her come over for a "meet and greet" with my pup Luna who can be very timid around new people, but Luna clearly thinks Hannah is okay! We look forward to doing some doggie day care with Hannah in the future :)”
“Ashley was on time and very responsive to messages from me. She was excellent with my fearful reactive rescue dog and was able to give her pets within 7 minutes. I could not have been more grateful and happy with our conversation and am so grateful for her knowledge and recommendations for my dog. I would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Ashley!”
“Julie did great! Max loved the walks and the ball tosses. Sasha is 16 and has trouble walking, taking her medicine and sometimes has accidents and Julie took good care of her, took her for short walks, got her to take her pills most of the time.”
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
“Kelsie was fantastic! She was very timely, posted photos of each drop-in visit, and described each event that occurred during the visit. My wife and I highly recommend her!”
“Raven was definitely the perfect fit to care for our fur kids! Our pets seemed to warm to her quickly and her caring personality and professional work ethic remained obvious throughout. Both our dogs are senior gals, and Raven was wonderful in approaching them with the extra tenderness necessary. She was also great about providing daily updates, photos, and occasional videos that really helped our comfort level while gone. I’m sure related to the additional stress caused by our absence our dogs seemed to have more “accidents” than usual, which Raven not only cleaned up readily, but she also patrolled daily for further accidents or other abnormalities in the environment…she even discovered some mischief our cats had caused and sent us photos!. We are so happy to have found Raven, her compassion and professionalism is first rate, and we will not hesitate to reach out to her in the future to care for our kids!”
“Sandra was a great fit for cat, Daisy! From our first meet and greet, to all of the daily updates, I felt comforted in leaving our pet in Sandra’s care. She spent time getting to know our cat and Daisy warmed up to her better than any sitter we’ve had before! I will definitely be asking Sandra for help in the future.”
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”
“Amy was amazing with our senior dog! She was so gentle, patient, and understanding. As a professional, Amy excels as well. She stayed in communication with us, took pictures or video, and was always on time. Our dog has some special needs and medications, and Amy made sure that everything was done just right. Amy is a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!
About: I will care for and love on your animals like they are my own. I follow their vibe, wanna play, we play, wanna walk, we walk, wanna cuddle, we cuddle ♡ easy peasy. I've been caring for others creatures for over a decade and have always enjoyed making new relationships with all of them & their owners. I work part time, so I am available to kick it with the fur-creatures pretty often! I am very flexible as is my schedule, so let's connect and make it work! I am more than happy to exist in your home with your fur-babies , where they are most comfortable (: I will keep them company and clean up after them and myself. With the intention of leaving every place I am in, better than I found it. (:
About: Super experienced with pitbulls and puppies. Dogs are special friends who add a high level of joy to my heart ❤️ I say hi to all the dogs I pass on the street ☺️ I am a single parent with 50% custody and work part time so I have extra time for full time love for your dog family members ❤️ I live 2 minutes from a sweet dog walking area around a lake and I prioritize making sure the dog’s needs before leaving for the day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cottage Grove on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 431 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottage Grove. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
