“Angelina dropped in to meet the kitties and go over their routine. Then she nailed it! She handled medication twice a day, refrigerated food, and they lived having her play with them. Angelina is a great communicator and a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Michele visited our cats while we were out of town for a week, and she was so attentive! We felt very comfortable knowing that she was taking care of them while we were out, and she was very consistent with checking in with us and sending pictures daily.”
“We are very happy to have found Dylan on Rover! He was everything and more with our cat Bailey. He was caring and cognizant of her new experience of her parents being away. He took great care of Bailey, not to mention his detailed communications and timely responses. He made our trip away successful because he cared for Bailey as if she were his cat. We plan on using Dylan more in the near future, because we know Bailey will be in great hands. Thank you, Dylan! Carlos & Eve”

“Jennifer communicated really well and did a great job of taking care of my girls. My sitting request was pretty extensive in that I have two older dogs that require feeding three times a day. She was really great in taking care of them. I would have liked to have seen her be able to stick more to the scheduled times but I understand and there was a flexibility built into the schedule.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
Baylie is an angel! Cannot say enough good things about her. She stepped in on short notice to care for our cat Clara for 2 weeks. She is reliable, uploaded a ton of photos, and even helped to clean up our home without us asking. She is communicative and considerate, friendly, and the sweetest person. We will be using her forever!
Mykeirah was amazing! Prompt, caring, proactive. It was my first time using rover for a sitter and she certainly set the bar. Kept the cat areas very clean and tidy, made sure they were played with fed, and even left them a little gift. I’m so grateful for her. Thanks Mykeirah! Will hire her again
Jennifer and Rick were wonderful pet sitters! They took great care of all of our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were reliable, kind, and treated our pets like their own. We would definitely recommend them and will happily use them again!
Sandra was so great with my cat Koji!! Even though Koji was at times shy, Sandra gave her lots of attention and love throughout her visits, which definitely helped Koji do better while we were gone. She sent me tons of pics and videos and lots of updates. We had some last minute changes to the booking which Sandra was very accommodating with. I’m also at times an anxious pet mom, and Sandra was always very understanding and reassuring whenever I worried about my cat! She followed all instructions I provided and went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend her!
Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ellenton is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

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.

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.
