“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them

About: I am a certified professional dog trainer and was a veterinary assistant for over 8 years. I have over a decade of experience caring for animals large and small. I have ample experience caring for pets with mobility issues, incontinence, kidney disease, diabetes, anxiety, or other illnesses. I can provide gold standard care regardless of your pet's needs- including oral, topical, or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluid therapy, or just being a patient and calm friend to a fearful friend. I love and care for dogs and cats equally! I currently work a full-time 9-to-5 but have a somewhat flexible schedule within those hours. Early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, nighttime checks, and weekends are all available options. If taking your pet out of the house, I like to have a fit check of your leash/harness or collar setup first. If your pet is known to be a "houdini" who can escape their gear, I may recommend alternatives and can help you with fitting your pet appropriately and/or bring a second form of containment with me (such as a slip leash used at vet offices) to ensure your pet's safety.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s spending time with dogs, visiting cat cafés, or stopping by the humane society to hang out with the animals there. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Have also house and plant sat for people over the years and always enjoyed helping out. I work full time, so I have a consistent routine and know how to manage my time well. I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and can work with pet owners to make sure their pets stay on their normal schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. Eli (10) and Luna (6) are rescue dogs who have taught me the importance of patience and understanding every dog’s unique personality. Nimbus (2) has been with me since he was a puppy, so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and older companions. After nearly 10 years as a USPS mail carrier, I’ve also learned a lot about dog behavior and body language from meeting dogs of all personalities every day. I know how important it is to approach each dog calmly and respectfully. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family while keeping you updated along the way. I work full-time as a USPS mail carrier and typically finish my route between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m., giving me plenty of availability most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Rover is a great fit because it allows me to spend even more time with animals while providing dependable, personalized care for pets in my local community. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, medications, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, making sure doors and gates are secure and leaving everything just as I found it. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped my friend with everything from daily walks to overnight stays, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient with shy dogs, gentle with seniors, and playful with energetic pups. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Whether it’s a calm walk, fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to whatever your dog needs. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and the same attention I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to check in on pets frequently and keep their routine consistent. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care every day. I take safety very seriously and always follow your instructions exactly—whether it’s feeding, litter care, medication, or keeping doors secured. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s space, especially shy or anxious animals. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean and comfortable, and I send frequent photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats all my life I personally have 2 dogs and one cat. Ive lived around animals my whole life and love them all dearly. I am currently a college student and I am in a musical theatre production but I will have plenty of time for your pets in between classes and before and after rehearsals! I will give your pets all the attention I do not offer services in my home because my cat is very jumpy but I will gladly come over and keep your baby company, walk them and feed them.

About: When I was younger, I would often babysit for my neighbors to Yorkshire terriers, one of whom was both blind and deaf, and thus needed to be watched at all times. I also have a fur baby of my own, a cat that we have had for 10 plus years. On occasion, I have also babysat for my neighbor's dogs, and I have also worked at a dog shelter several times over the summer. I do work M-F, so I am generally available during the weekends, with a possibility of working during the week after work. Please reach out for specific availabilities. This depends on who the customer is, and what they require of me. I usually like to make sure that I know the rules before I start sitting, and as always I will respect the rules set by the client. I also usually inquire about the pets preferences and what they feel comfortable with.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Elkin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 338 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elkin. 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 with handling special pet needs in Elkin. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
