About: I have grown up with a zoo of animals around me, my entire life. I am neither a "cat person" or a "dog person", I simply love all animals (except for spiders, that's where I have to draw the line). Currently, my pets include two cats and three dogs- black lab/Pitbull (7y/o), German shorthair pointer (5y/o), and a German shepherd (1y/o). In the past, I have also cared for our previous pets such as, 3 cows, 2 riding horses, 5 dogs at once in the same house, as well as birds. There is not a person in the world that can make you happier than a pet can, free therapy! I am an outdoor freak, so I love going on nature walks and would love to have a four-legged friend to join me for morning/afternoon walks! I also do weddings, if you would love to have your fur babies there for your big day! I work from home, so I can make my own schedule! Working remotely, allows me to work from wherever to whenever! So traveling will be so easy! Tons of toys & treats! Tons of outdoor time! Plenty of snuggles! Healthy meals, for happy pets. I treat pets like kids, adjusting to all their needs!
“Alexis did very well with Husker. He is very leery of new people and she was patient with him. Was even able to get him to calm down enough to go for a walk. We have now hired Alexis for a 5 night overnight stay.”
“Our kitties are always happy to see Shari! She is great at communicating and ensuring they get some quality time while we are away. We feel safe leaving them in her care every time.”
“Amy was amazing. She took the time to do everything she could to ensure my dog was cared for safely and met the expectations of the visit. She is a great communicator with clear and concise messaging. She gave very detailed information about the visit - thank you!”
“Holly is just wonderful! She took amazing care of our cat for the 6 days we were gone. She sent me pictures everyday which I adored and clearly showed how much my cat loved her too. I unexpectedly had to extend my vacation a day and Holly was super flexible and covered an extra day super short notice. 100 stars!”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals especially dogs and cats! I have 2 dogs (mini dachshund and german shepherd) and a cat, so I’m used to taking care of diverse pets. I’m comfortable with taking care of feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and making the pets feel comfortable while you are gone. I’ve been trusted watching family, friends and neighbors pets for years now! I’m a very patient, responsible owner and I love spending time with animals! I am currently in school 3 days a week in the mornings so I will have plenty of time to watch your pets! I’m at home most of the time. I am available on weekends fully, weekdays I am open after 12pm! (Mondays after 3 because of long classes) Making pets feel comfortable and safe if the most important thing to me! At home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, food, and clean water. I love cuddling and playing with them. I take my pups on walks and ensure they’re safe. I’m able to follow your pets daily routine as close as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks and anything else you need. I’m also here to help keep your space tidy! But most important, I am here to give all the love and attention your pet needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elk River
I highly recommend Marcale’s services! She was wonderful with our cats and I imagine she is just as attentive to other animals. She followed our instructions to a T. There were no messes to clean up when we got home and neither cat was stressed out. I simply cannot thank her enough for her care and we will be requesting her assistance again - probably in June!

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 .

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.
