“Katelyn was very attentive to our two cats, and was willing to deal with special diets for both of them, as well as medication for our older cat. She was very respectful of our home and easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent us lots of great and helpful pictures. We would definitely like to have her back the next time we need someone to watch the cats!”

“Kristine did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our cats were well cared for, and everything at home was in great condition when we returned. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

I received a photo each time she was at the house and she followed everything I needed her to do with our litter box.

About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give to every pet. While I don’t have formal training, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of clients, friends, family, and my own. I’m very observant, gentle, and always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I follow instructions carefully and adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like family. I am home full-time, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I provide frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routine, including feeding schedules, medications, or any special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and truly loved while you’re away. I provide one-on-one care in a clean, pet-safe home with constant supervision and access to a fully fenced 6-foot yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. Regular updates and photos are always included.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats of my own, and growing up I had a Maltese Poodle who was a very special part of my family. I also regularly care for dogs while providing childcare, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I treat every animal with patience, care, and kindness. 🐾❤️ I work part time! But I am available Monday/Wednesday/sunday all day! And anytime after 6 on other days! I am also available early mornings before 9 am! I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping them in their familiar environment and following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any other care you normally provide. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾❤️

“Here’s a polished Rover review you can use: --- **Review for Rhonda** I cannot recommend Rhonda enough! This was my first time leaving my cat alone, and I had a lot of anxiety about it — but Rhonda was incredibly attentive and reassuring from start to finish. She made sure he had everything he needed, took the time to play with him, and sent lots of photos that really put me at ease. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and attention she gave him. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

“It was a pleasure working with Kelsey while I was gone visiting family. She showed up at the time scheduled, gave my rabbits attention, cleaned up their area often, and communicated consistently. She even brought them lettuce and crafted a little hay roll in a paper towel cardboard for them to play with. I could tell my rabbits were happy and healthy. I would recommend Kelsey and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”

“Michael has been an absolute saint. The fur babies love him and trust him. My one, Bean, is a very shy and timid cat. She does not like people but within a couple of weeks of Michael visiting she soon trusted him then gives him snuggles and kisses. As soon as I met Michael I knew he could be trusted with my babies. There is a safe and calm energy with him which is why I believe my cats trusted him so fast. I will forever recommend Michael to anyone in the area.”

About: I've had pets most of my life including dogs, cats, fish and birds. I had 2 small dogs that recently passed away. One of them I had from a puppy until she passed at 15 years old. The other I adopted at 6 years old and had her until she was 12. So I'm very experienced taking care of all ages of pets. I loved my pets as if they were my kids and hope to pass that kind of care to your pets! I have a flexible schedule at the moment, but normally work full time Monday through Thursday. If boarding, I need a couple days in advance notice to make sure I can accommodate your pets needs. I own my own house with a fenced in yard. I live alone with no other pets. I also don't have any children so it will be just me and your pets! I will follow all instructions for caring for your pets at your home as well.

About: Growing up there was always a few animals in my family so I have ages of experiences with animals from all of the animal kingdoms. More recently I've been animals sitting for people in my personal life and decided to expand the operation. Additionally, I can promise a dedication to quality (though not professional) photos of your little ones while you're away. I am in college and working part time but am primarily looking for work during the break in classes before fall. My schedule is fairly flexible with planning ahead. I cannot care for animals in my personal home due to my own animals and live-in humans. However, I am committed to making the check ins/pet sitting satisfying for both the owner and pet while they wait to reunite.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Elk Plain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Elk Plain is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $61 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 1,044 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elk Plain. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk Plain. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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 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.
