About: Growing up, my grandma always had a dog, and my family has had a number of dogs throughout the years. The dogs that my family has had ranges from small dogs (<20 lbs) to now two bigger dogs (~80 lbs). I am used to dogs of all kinds of temperaments, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart! I currently am working part-time, so I can fit in pet care around the days that I do not work. In addition, my schedule is very flexible, especially with drop-in visits. I make sure to update my availability regularly, as well! I’m more than happy to go along with your guidelines on house/ pet sitting. I make sure that I read the guidelines very carefully and will contact you if I have any further questions. I live at home with my mom, so pet care in my home is off the table unfortunately.

“So delighted to meet Jeri and experience her incredible care for our cats during our recent trip. Jeri was so easy to work with and we knew instantly she would not only become our “go to” for future drop in visits. We had no worries upon departure knowing Jeri was in charge. One of our cats normally hides but with Jeri, there was no hesitation. We HIGHLY recommend Jeri! Five stars for sure!!! Thanks Jeri!!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me. I take pride in being able to make my furry friends feel special and enriched during my time with them, so I frequently have clients tell me that their fur babies miss me when I leave! I am also a neat person who is up for completing any household tasks/chores while I’m watching your space. Outside of pet sitting, I have am a masters student (MPP) and researcher, which means I am in the office only occasionally: Mon-Thur, 10am-4pm (~6hrs) Federal Holidays I am off of work. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to come home for a quick potty break in the middle of the day! I am a very responsible, clean, and honest person who prioritizes communication and safety when I am watching your fur babies or your home. I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, caring for animals was just a part of everyday life, and that’s where my love for them really began. From feeding and cleaning up after them to making sure they were healthy and happy, I learned early on that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. That passion led me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. My education gave me a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and how to care for pets with different needs, whether they’re playful puppies, curious kittens, or senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they enjoy them!). My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a housekeeper, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s stopping by for a walk, spending quality time playing, keeping up with feeding schedules, or staying overnight, I truly enjoy being there for each pet. I love getting to know every animal’s unique personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. For me, caring for pets never feels like work, it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. When I’m caring for your pet in your home my biggest goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll stick to their normal routine as closely as possible whether that means feeding them on schedule taking them for walks playing with them or just spending time giving them extra love and attention. I know every pet is different and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality. Some pets want to play the whole time while others are happiest just having someone nearby. I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel cared for and loved. I also understand that trusting someone in your home is a big deal so I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.

About: My roommate has worked in vetcare for over 2 years and has taught me a lot of extra skills for taking care of pets. My grandparents had an Old Golden Retriever, a Border Collie, and a Young Labrador Retriever, so I can handle LOTS of energy, or provide an environment for gentle exercise. I'm working towards becoming qualified to train service dogs! I also grew up with 2 cats, and now have 3! So I know how to recognize and respect a pet's boundaries while encouraging a healthy level of play. I have never lived anywhere without a pet, and would never want to! I'm currently working a Part-Time Job, but will have and/or make time for your pets. Any day, and anytime between 8am and 12am, I can find availability. I have a roommate to help take care of our cats while I'm out which is what gives me the time to take care of your pets! I have dog clothes and cat clothes, allergies will not be an issue for you, your pets, or myself. I have a basic and growing understanding of simple dog training as I progress towards my goal. I am also proficient in teaching cats to start or (if they're willing) stop doing things.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.

My daughter found Lynn for me on the Rover app and I’m so glad she did! My granddaughter was having a destination wedding in Cancun and I would be gone for six full days. I fretted over who I could get to take care of my fur babies for that length of time. I met with Lynn for a meet and greet and after talking with her I knew that she would be the right person for the job! She did twice a day drop-ins where she fed the cats, took pictures to send to me and gave me overall updates on how they were doing. She also offered to collect my mail for me! I would definitely hire her again for any other out-of-town trips I might take!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Elkhorn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Elkhorn is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 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 145 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elkhorn. 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 Elkhorn. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
