“Impressed my mom with your kindness and you showed up/had pictures for proof. I think you helped me sell her on using Rover services more often! She handled four dogs, two of whom she didn't have a chance to meet, with ease. Would use her services again!”
About: With over a decade of pet care under my belt, I have experience in doggy daycare, pet boarding, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’ve personally owned dogs, cats and reptiles my whole life. Starting as a young teen, I cared for neighbors dogs and cats for up to three months at a time when they were away. In highschool, I worked at a doggy daycare and pet boarding center, gaining experience caring for a large number of animals with a variety of temperaments and needs. I administered medications such as pills and eye ointment, and cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition to dogs, I cared for cats, birds and small mammals. Throughout college, I walked dogs and did in-home pet sitting. My many experiences makes me very comfortable handling a wide variety of pets, from dogs with special needs to spicy cats and more. I am dedicated to giving families peace of mind that their furry friends are well cared for when they are away. I am available early mornings (5-7:30 am), during my lunch break, (11-1 pm) and in the evenings (after 5 pm) and I have open weekend availability. My job is flexible with what time I arrive and leave. Taking care of your home while you’re away is equally as important to me as caring for your pets. I will insure that your home is always in the same condition as you left, whether that means cleaning up bathroom accidents or keeping a tidy litter box. Additionally, with any client where I’m entering their home, I will always check for signs of suspicious activity such as broken windows or open doors. Keeping your fur baby safe means making sure your home is safe.
About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for my family’s dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship. I love helping dogs feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule while I await my bar exam results, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and companionship throughout the week. I provide care in the pet’s home where they are most comfortable. I will follow their normal routines, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!
“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”
“Tia goes above and beyond caring for our kitties. She asks about them to see how they are doing. Her and the kids give them lots of love and attention while we are gone. They are so much happier than they were when we would leave them alone. We have a kitty that requires 3-4 visits a day right now, and we realize that can be asking a lot, but Tia is more than willing to help and take care of them. We appreciate her so much and her willingness to help!”
“Not only did she last minute pick up helping my dogs, but she went above and beyond by walking them and giving them SO much love! I got great pictures, and she treated them like they were her own pets! 10/10 recommend and appreciate the help/work she did with my boys!”
About: I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs. I have taught my dogs how to sit. I love animals and taking care of them. I will give them the best care possible! I’m currently working part-time so my hours are very open. I’m a student here at USD staying over the summer. My dogs live in Arkansas with my parents and I miss them a lot. A few minutes with your animals will bring me happiness! I live in an apartment with no other animals but my lease doesn’t allow animals. I can easily go to your house and pet sit/walk. I have a leash and treats as well!
About: Hi! My name is Lauren I am a PhD student at USD! I have a deep passion for caring for animals and love to train and work on commands. I have cared for several locals and would love to help look after your fur babies! As a pet parent myself, I understand that there is expected trust when accepting new people into your home to care for your pets. I do not take this responsibility lightly! I accept bookings for all pets no matter the age, breed, or size! Thank you for considering my services! 🐾💗 I am home most all of the time and am flexible with any routine! I am happy to adopt any needs a pet might have and am skilled in medication administration (aka a very good wiggle wrangler)! 🤠 I take pet parents trust in me very seriously and am sure to maintain homes and pets responsibly. I like to keep pet parents updated throughout my care and I adhere to pet plans like feeding and activity schedules. I love to take pups on walks and spend time outside! I also enjoy any and all pup snuggles! 🐶 💕 I am a bit of a busy bee and love to clean so don’t be surprised if I tidy up your space when left unsupervised 😆
About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.
About: I'm a pet lover by nature. I've been a pet "mom" to dogs and cats since I've been young. My pets are my family and tend to be a bit spoiled. I also care for others like they are my own. I'm a nurse and work 3 days a week which allows me plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I am able to provide care on short notice and am flexible with the needs of clients. I currently have a cat that I love more than anything. I am open to care for dogs in my home and care for your furry friend in your home to keep your pet in a routine that they are used to.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 39 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elk Point. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
