“Kristi was caring, thoughtful and so sweet with my fur babies!! I didn't even have service in some parts of my trip when I was away and I felt safe knowing she was there taking care of my kitties! She was attentive and sent me tons of updates while I was gone. She'll definitely be getting an invite back for future trips! ? 10/10!!!!”
“Erin and her daughter were awesome to work with! They were very thorough in their communication, and were prompt with their visits. My shy Chihuahua warmed up to them very quickly.”
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and I’m doing this because I genuinely enjoy caring for them and meeting new furry friends. I’ve helped take care of puppies in my family, I currently have an elderly husky, and I’ve also had a very high-energy malamute, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Since I have my own dog, I’m careful about making sure everyone is comfortable. My husky is older and spends most of the day sleeping and relaxing, and my multi-level home gives me the option to keep dogs separated if needed. I love to run, so I can tire your dog out! I’m an army veteran, so I take reliability and responsibility seriously, but I’m also just someone who really enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. Dogs staying with me can get regular potty breaks, attention, walks, yard time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust care based on each dog’s routine, energy level, and needs. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, supervised, and safe. I have a fenced-in yard for outdoor time, and I can keep dogs separated if needed because I have a multi-level home. My own dog is an elderly husky who mostly likes to sleep and relax, but I’m still careful with introductions and making sure everyone has space. I follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, potty schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special needs or quirks.
“Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.”
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough! She’s great with our dogs (who can be a lot), and sends adorable updates. A true dog lover! Knowing she is coming has given us so much peace of mind!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they need. My experience includes dog walking, sitting, feeding, administering medications, and providing basic training. I am skilled in reading body language and am patient and compassionate when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing a long walk or a senior dog requiring more gentle care, I am able to fit the dog’s individual requirements. I’m also experienced in managing feeding schedules, maintaining a safe environment, and ensuring pets are engaged and happy while their owners are away. I am currently taking College classes online. I’m pretty open to any anytime during the day throughout the week! I am also able to work early morning or late nights too. I understand how important it is to ensure a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment for your pet. Whether I’m caring for them in my own home or yours, I prioritize their well being at all times. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room! I create a secure and comfortable space for them. My home is pet friendly and pet proofed, with all potential hazards removed to ensure your pet’s safety. I have 2 friendly dogs a golden doodle and shit tzu that get along great with anyone. I believe in building trust with both you and your pet!
“Kaity was wonderful with my kitties while I had to be away. Having the pictures that she sent twice each day was so nice! Kaity played with and loved on my kitties and really made it less stressful on everyone during my absence.”
About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.
“Amber was SO attentive to our little puppy and gave her so much love and exercise when she came to visit her! She was in constant communication with us and went out of her way to make sure our pup was taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough! We will be reaching out when we need her service again!”
About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.
“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!”
About: Though I’m new to Rover, I've watched animals for friends, family, and employers for the past 10 years and would love to chat with you to see if I can help you with yours. As a former receptionist at an emergency vet clinic and with extensive experience with my own fur babies, I'm very aware of the health risks to both cats and dogs and have training in recognizing signs of distress. I will work with you to establish an emergency plan beforehand if you are going on extended trips. I also have experience with several vets in the area and even bringing animals to the animal chiropractor. I know that every animal's personality is unique, and routines are important for managing stress. My goal is to be that trustworthy, consistent, and dependable addition to your animal's care team. We always had multiple cats and dogs at one time in my family home growing up. They were more than my animals; they were my brothers and sisters and beloved friends. I've loved and cared for 3 of my cats and 2 of my dogs into their senior years and through medical complications. I have experience with administering medications, including insulin to cats, animals with arthritis, and care after major procedures. I currently have open availability during weekdays M-F. I'm here to provide weekday support via check-ins and walks for busy families, as well as support with home visits if you are on vacation. I do work weekends, so my availability over weekends is limited. I respect all house rules and work with you to get every detail of care, big or small. You set how many updates you’d like to receive when away, but it’s standard for me to write a document of all activity and behavior after each of my visits for you and your vet to reference at any time. I’m happy to do initial home visits to make sure care works for us both.
“I'm so glad I was able to find Jamie to take care of my girls. She did a great job. She kept me updated and in the loop. I love the pictures that they send. It makes me feel like I'm still *there* sorta. This is a wonderful business that I'm so glad I found. I'll definitely use Jamie again!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elk River 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 1,928 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elk River. 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.

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.
