Brittney helped me out in a bit of a last minute request and was amazing! She’s fast to respond, thorough, and I had no doubt my pets would be safe and well cared with her. I look forward to rebooking with her again, thank you Brittney!

This was my first time using a pet sitter now that I am not near family and Shaun was great! He checked in on my cat Tink several evenings this past week while I had to work late. Tink is diabetic and requires insulin injections on a strict schedule and he was there when I needed him to be to make sure she gets her shots on time. The feedback and pictures I received assured me she was in great hands and that she got along with him just fine. I will definitely be booking Shaun again in the future ?

Sara always takes wonderful care of our three dogs, ages 2 to 8. She sends us great pictures at each visit, answers us promptly if we have a question or concern, and is understanding if we have to request extra visits. We don’t worry at all when Sara is taking care of our girls.

Matthew & Ellie were great! They included adorable notes about our kitties each day, one time specifically saying they swore Binx responded with a literal “yes” when they asked her if she was hungry haha! Would definitely have them look in on our little ones again!

Westley is great with our trio of Doodles. It’s been a few months since we had needed him to drop in. But we could tell from the pictures he sent they were VERY happy to see him!

Haley was wonderful with our little dog. She came for a meet and greet the day before and I quickly knew she was an animal lover. She was always quick to respond, on time, and communicated well. Her pictures and details on the rover cards gave us peace of mind that Freya was in good hands and well cared for.

Paul did a fantastic job wrangling my five gingers for a long weekend, a couple of whom are scared of strangers. He genuinely cares about the animals. Definitely recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had rescue dogs and cats, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I’ve raised and cared for several of my own rescues. I’ve also fostered and occasionally foster failed before ultimately adopting. Through those experiences I’ve cared for pets with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with animals ranging from tiny kittens to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees. I’m a dependable, detail-oriented person who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being treated like one of my own. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the week. I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable, dependable care. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the workweek, as well as weekends, and I’ll always communicate clearly if I have any scheduling limitations. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I've have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all pets and I am very flexible and willing to learn how to best take care of your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pets, I will dedicate my time to loving them. I've had 5 energetic dogs throughout my life. My family has had everything from small to really big. We had a papillon, papillon mix, pomeranian, pitbull/boxer mix, and a pitbull/german shepherd mix. My dogs were always the larger ones and I can handle walking very large dogs easily since my dogs weren't the best on the leash. Currently we have two dogs but I learned how to take care of them when they were babies, to when they were having old age problems. So, I can work with any range of age. I also have a cat in college now that I love taking care of. I am a student-athlete currently, but I always have time in the evenings to dedicate to taking care of a pet. I am available for drop-ins on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When you are home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am a student-athlete at IU Bloomington, so my schedule is a little packed but I miss my pets and I also love to walk, so this sounded like a great option. I am free on Saturday after morning practice, all day Sunday, mostly all day Tuesday, and all day Thursday. :) I would care for my client's pets like they were my own. I can handle giving them constant attention, feeding, walking, watering, and everything else. I am 6'0 ft tall, so I can handle big dogs if necessary.

About: I have had up to 6 dogs at one time. I used to volunteer at the Bloomington animal shelter and was a dog walker. I’ve fostered and rehomed many dogs, as well as done dog sitting for friends. My cat and dog both get along with dogs and love having friends play and snuggle with. I am a social worker who works out of my home. I do travel for work some days, but never over night. I have a flexible schedule and days where I do not travel at all. I’m home most weekends and evening. I have a 7 year old son, so work around school hours. I’m the owner of a lazy fluffy cat and a very loving and playful husky who loves making new friends and having someone to run and play with. I have a large addition in the back of my home, including a kid room, as well as many areas where dogs can stay separated if needed. I also have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for dogs to play. I have very few rooms with carpet, so accidents are never an issue (because they happen!)

Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.

About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!

About: My dad is a veterinarian and my mom was hospital managed. I have grown up around all kinds of animals and reptiles since I could walk. I love to walk everyday and can’t not smile when I see a dog!! I walk everyday, I live near walking trails that have cows on them that make me smile. I prioritize 2 walks a day minimum when taking care of a dog! I provide a comfortable safe home for dogs to be and play in. I utilize walks and monitored on leash experiences in the backyard to maintain dog safety in an unfenced yard.

About: I have a senior cat that I care for. Additionally I grew up with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I know how to interact with and care for pets. I am available almost every day of the week. I do not have a full time job right now so your pets would be my first priority. I have a yard and a separate room to keep your pets in. I also have a large basement they can be in if I am away from the house.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellettsville on Rover is $16.1 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 222 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ellettsville. 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 Ellettsville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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 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.
