About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I have grown up around dogs and a few cats my whole life, and I truly love helping others take care of their furry best friends too! I am going into my freshman year of college locally this Fall 2026 and I would love to be able to work around my class schedule and my schedule with my sales job. I make sure pets have everything they need including their food, water, and whatever else their owners need me to give them. I take dogs outside for either a 10-15 minute walk a few times a day or, if you have a backyard, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard. I give both dogs and cats lots of pets and attention during my time with them and make sure I leave the house clean of anything the pets have done while the owners weren’t home. I make sure all the doors leading into the house are securely locked before leaving and make sure that nothing harmful to the pets is left within their reach.
“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
“Michael was great watching our boy Maverick! Maverick is a 110lb Doberman and Michael did a great job handling him on walks! He was reliable with letting him out 3x per day and making sure Maverick had food and water. Overall, we felt super comfortable with him taking care of our baby while we were out of town! We will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“Kelly is very kind and professional and did a great job with Oakley! I can tell he had a great time while I was gone and was taken care of well. I also appreciate her able to take care of my cat on short notice. Highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs.”
About: We have taken care of multiple dogs at a time and grew up with a dogs as well. We have a cat Jen adopted five years ago as well. Jen currently works from home and can work from anywhere there is wifi. Our cat can stay at home and is pretty independent so we can focus on your pets while you’re away. We will follow whatever instructions that are left. We take great care in making the environment as normal for the pets as possible and will leave your home in the same, if not better shape than when you left it.
“Awesome cat sitter! Indika was great; she came to our home consistently and sent great pictures. I could tell my cats were in great hands. Will book again when we leave town. Our cats really liked her! Thank you!”
About: My name is Abby, I’m a loving dog & cat carer, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and I grew up around all sorts of animals my whole life. Your little (or big) babies will have the time of their life with me! Running, walks, treats, and fun is what’s on the list with me! I look forward to meeting and having fun with your babies! Please let me know of any special requests or animal behavior that is necessary! Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine since I have open availability during the day. I structure my day around responsibilities like walks, feeding schedules, and check-ins to make sure pets get consistent attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home and always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and attention according to instructions. I also prioritize safety by securing doors, using leashes for walks, and keeping a close eye on the pet at all times. I treat every home with respect and leave things as I found them.
About: I have been a nanny for children and pets for over 10 years. I work as a full-time coach and have experience working and volunteering at the Humane Society in Minnesota. I love spending my time with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have 2 cats at home and 2 dogs back in Minnesota. My services include walking and drop in visits. I work 8 hour days M-F but available evenings and weekends! Day sitting, overnight, walking and drop ins are what I offer and feel free to send me a message about days it says I’m unavailable and I can be flexible! I will not be offering services at my home but I offer walking and visits! I am comfortable with a size dog, letting them outside, playing, crating and more!
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
“Michelle loves my dogs as much as I do…and takes great care of me in addition to the girls. She is great at communication, very flexible if our dates change, and takes lots of pictures. My dogs look forward to play time with Michelle and I know they are in great hands!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
Sandy is awesome and our Ziggy just loves her. We unexpectedly had to go away again a couple weeks after she watched him the last time. Couldn't be happier than being able to book Sandy again to check in on him, put us totally at ease. She is super and helped when our "hold mail" did not work with the Post office. Thanks Sandy, you are awesome and Ziggy loves you.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellenton on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,566 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ellenton. 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 Ellenton. On Rover:

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.
