“Meretta was incredible! My loving, cuddling cat loved play times and belly rubs. My angry, devil-spawn cat appreciated Meretta’s patience and willingness to give her space. Thank you, Meretta!”
About: Hi, I’m Paola! 🐾 Professional pet spoiler, part-time treat giver, full-time animal lover. Whether your furry friend needs belly rubs, playtime, or just someone to tell them they’re a very good boy/girl — I’m your human! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet like they’re my own (yes, that means baby talk and extra snuggles). Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch — I’ve got this! Pet care is a big and joyful part of my daily life! 🐾 I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I plan my schedule carefully so your furry friend always gets the attention, exercise, and love they need — whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or relaxed cuddle sessions. Because I only take on a manageable number of pets at a time, I can give each one my full focus and care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is a top priority in my routine — every single day. 💛🐶🐱 In My Home: Your pet will have a blast in my big, fully fenced backyard — perfect for playtime, sunbathing, and zoomies! 🐕☀️ I’ve also got a safety gate for the stairs, so everyone stays safe, whether they’re a curious pup or a relaxed senior. Inside, it’s a cozy, calm environment with plenty of space to nap, play, and feel right at home. Bonus: lots of snuggles are included at no extra cost. 😉 Every pet is treated like family — because they are! 🐾❤️
“We have one cat who can be spicy around strangers, and another cat with health issues that sometimes make him sensitive, but Lance did a great job respecting their boundaries while also making sure they were well-cared after while we were away. Our boy cat especially seemed to enjoy lap time during the visits. Lance was also very willing to help with other minor tasks, like bringing unexpected packages inside.”

About: Neighbors, friends, and family always ask me to pet sit for them. I've stayed up to 2 weeks with pets! I'll watch dogs, cats, fish, and even birds! There's never been a job too difficult for me to handle. I currently work from 7am-3:30 pm Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility within those hours! Nights and weekends will be best for me to spend time with your pets. All of my pets I've owned have had boundaries that we maintained through training. I'm very comfortable with crate training and leash training. If there's a routine you want implemented, I'll follow it to the last detail.
“Marie has dropped in for my large breed dog, picked him up for dog park visits and watched him for me during vacation. I love that she has experience with large dogs, administering medications and is really hands on and passionate about dogs. My pup is not low maintenance in terms of needing monitoring for counter serving and getting into food, doesn’t like being left alone etc. and she handles it great. She always sends lots of photos and updates which helps make me feel at ease. Would recommend Marie for your dog care and needs 100%!”

With over a decade of professional experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve been trusted by families, neighbors, and friends to walk, feed, bathe, snuggle, and play with their furry loved ones. I bring lots of energy and affection to every visit, always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I naturally keep doors closed and locked, double-check collars and leashes before walks, and stay alert to my surroundings at all times.

Click the link below to schedule within my availability - I’d love to meet your fur family! I work a varied schedule throughout the week anywhere from 4 hours to 8 hours (on the rare occasion). I provide extensive walk time / play time to pets I look after, and even more exercise time on the longer-shift days that I have to work. If there are requests for me to speak with my employer about leaving early for your pet, I am happy to discuss this! I always prioritize the safety of your animals by instinctually keeping the necessary doors closed/locked, checking colar/leash security before beginning walks, keeping your pet within my sight at all times, staying aware of surroundings and in control of your pet responsibly. You can count on regular photos and videos of your fur-child, and if anything seems even slightly off, I’m committed to open communication and proactively seeking solutions with your consent.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elk Ridge
Kaylie is the BEST! My cat is so shy, but Kaylie was able to help her feel comfortable and play with her while we were gone. She is great at communicating and was very caring. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to check on your animals when you’re away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 461 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elk Ridge. 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
