“Amy was great checking in on my pup, and I love that she was just as responsive as when I booked her for daycare. She sent me photo updates which I loved! I can tell she and her kids really love spending time with Lilo which is so comforting.”
“We so appreciate Desiree! She has now become one of our regular caregivers for our dogs. She is always reliable and great at communication! She also so sweetly makes sure our kitchen is spotless before she heads out! So thankful for her!”
About: Hey there, thanks for visiting my profile! A little about me: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m the kind of person who pays attention to detail and notices little changes in their behavior. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their person is away. I adopted my German Shepherd when he was about 6 months old. I was told he would need obedience training. Instead, I spent a lot of time learning, practicing, and working with him myself. He’s now able to sit and stay while I throw his ball and then wait for his release command before running after it. That took patience, consistency, and a lot of trust-building. Training my pupper taught me so much about working with dogs. I’m comfortable with pets who have big personalities, lots of energy, anxiety, quirks, or just need a little extra patience. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and care for them like they are my own. I’m currently working occasional shifts, which gives me excellent availability for pet care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. Safety always comes first for me. I’m the type of person who will double and triple check important details, such as doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, and anything else needed to keep your pet safe. I take pride in creating a calm, safe environment for my own pets, and I would do the same for any pet in my care. Trust is a big part of letting someone care for your animals. Because of this, I am prompt, reliable, careful, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine.
About: Taken care of my medium sized dog for ~6 years. I've cat sit for many of my neighbors, cats of various temperaments and health issues. I've also done senior care (mainly memory issues & food check ins), and am an Eagle Scout. Currently unemployed, so I'm quite open to any time for cat or dog care. Within normal day time hours preferred, but no real preference otherwise. I unfortunately cannot take your pet into my home. My dog has not been acclimated enough to other pets enough for comfort. I am more than willing to help in a place they're more comfortable with.
“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”
“Marcus is amazing 🤩 my babies loved him. He’s very sweet and I felt very comfortable knowing he was taking great care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Carmine and Christy took such good care of our Sadie. They took time and worked with Sadie as she can be very timid. Sadie finally opened up to them and all was well.”
About: I foster for the Humane society and other rescues. I know animal first aid. Degree in wildlife Biology. I have two dogs of my own, and one cat. I wake up at 7 and feed and walk everyone. After they are done eating we play or cuddle depending on the pets personality. Kittens and puppies eat lunch. If you want your pet to eat three meals please ask. Evening time around 7-8 is Dinner for everyone. Between these times is when there are short walks and play. I don't have a fenced yard yet. I have two dogs at home. One is a senior shih Tzu that only wants to lay around all day. The other is a Bull terrier that is kept outside or in the garage. He gets along with female dogs only so he will be kept away from most pets. I have a cat that loves everyone including dogs. I keep her claws trimmed just in case. If there is a accident I have quick clot and other first aid available.

I love dogs especially because I have one of my own, Jaxon, he’s a chocolate lab who LOVES peanut butter and belly rubs! i currently work part-time at Singleton Community Center and a college student at Southwest Community College! i typically work in the mornings at singleton for 4 hours. i have classes from 9-2 on Mondays and Wednesdys and 12-2 on Tuesday and Thursday! i have a fenced back yard for my dog for when he needs to go outside! he’s super cuddle so he sleeps in my room and cuddles a lot!! i also play with him and his toys when he’s in a hyper mood which i would do for all the dogs i’ve dogsat!
“Andrenette was amazing! Very communicative, brought treats and left gifts for my cats!! We really appreciate her love of animals and the great attention she had for our stray outdoor cats!!!”
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“April is wonderful. She quickly won over my rescue who is anxious and very wary of new people. It is clear that April understands and loves dogs. I find her regular updates very helpful and reassuring. I appreciate the attention she gives my dogs during her visits, taking the time to sit with them and pet them, and that she monitors them when they are outside for bathroom breaks. I love coming home to happy dogs and peace of mind. Highly recommend April!”
“Ashley was amazing with my older terrier who can be temperamental. He got to go for walks and have playtime with Ashley. So thankful for her and her care for my Dudley! We will definitely ask for Ashley next time we have need of services! Highly recommend!!”
“Nikaila was a fantastic pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dogs and left us photos and comments of her stay. We were so comforted to know our babies were in good hands!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ellendale
Desiree was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and having anyone other than family care for our two cats. Desiree was excellent in every way. Her communication was great and her picture taking was so helpful to let us know our kitties were happy and doing well. We have one cat that takes medicine twice a day and Desiree was great at keeping that cat on his schedule. He is also a bit shy but within a couple visits Desiree had him eating treats out of her hand. I appreciated how proactive she was with the care of our kitties. I’d highly recommend her services.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellendale on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
