“Rachel was excellent, followed all directions and got along great with my cats! It had been a while since using a pet sitter; we were somewhat anxious as now one of my cats requires an inhaler. But everything went great and I would definitely book Rachel again!”

“I had such a great experience with Beth! From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her role seriously. Beth was incredibly reliable, always arriving on time, and gave my cats the perfect mix of attention, playtime, and calm companionship. I really appreciated the detailed updates after each visit—photos, notes about eating habits, litter box, and little personality moments that made me feel connected even while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were not only being looked after, but actually enjoying their time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”

“This was my first time leaving Leo home with a sitter while I traveled out of town. Sabrina provided frequent summaries on Leo health and aell being while I was away from home, allowing me to travel out of town and to feel very comfortable knowing Leo was well natured and taken very good care of in my absence. Sabrina was an absolute gem to find on such short notice! 😍”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m dependable, caring, and willing to take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I do have a grasp of understanding canine body language and when they’re comfortable vs uncomfortable. I also have a lot of experience with smaller fuzzy friends such as rabbits and hamsters as well! I currently am new to the area looking for employment, and starting my pre requisites for Del Tech Community College. I have pretty open availability and flexibility for your furry friends. I can very much insure the security of leashes, collars and or harness for walks, as well as helping pups into crates if they’re crate trained at home. Helping younger pups learn with simple commands and positive reinforcement is also something I’m willing to do!

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for three years, taking care of small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. I even take care of people's pets in my neighborhood. Currently fitting pet care into my daily routine is no problem at all. I am a part time college student but I don't go back until the winter. I stay at home full time so I will be able to spend all day with your pet. As far as pets go, I have a very friendly lab mix named Kaya and a cat named Snickers. I also have two leopard geckos named Mushu and Yoshi. Kaya is fed twice a day, morning and evening. And Snickers is a grazer so he eats whenever he wants. I have a fenced in yard which Kaya adores. Whenever other dogs come over I let them out into the yard so they can run around and play. The yard is about half an acre and the fence is 4 and a half feet tall.

“Taylor and Michael were awesome with our cat! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing pet sitting services. They met with us beforehand and asked all the right questions to make sure they knew Roxy’s routine. While we were gone, we got daily updates and pictures. They played with her favorite toys and took her out on our screened in porch, which is her favorite place to be! Knowing Taylor and Michael were taking such good care of our cat allowed us to truly relax on vacation! We will definitely use them again in the future.”

About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home where pets were truly part of the family, and some of my favorite childhood memories are visiting the animal shelter with my mom—often leaving with a furry friend we would foster and love until we could help find them a forever home. That lifelong love for animals has followed me into adulthood. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets who require a little extra attention, including administering medications and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is for you to be able to leave home knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention—and I’ll happily send updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing! We currently have 2 medium pups, Milo and Bear, along with 2 long hair cats, Phyllis and Everett. Don’t stress about them though. The fur adult cats own my son ;) so they hang with him in his room most of the time. Our other two pups love to play with other pups and are friendly. I am mostly available for dog walks or drop in visits and will be happy to accommodate boarding for families that need a quick trip or emergencies.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ellendale on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $31 per visit. 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.

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 .

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
