I highly recommend Margaret as a pet sitter! She is punctual, professional, genuinely cares for your fur babies, and does the best job possible. A tree fell down on the road leading up to my house and blocked the road. Margaret did not hesitate to park her car and walk to my house . She communicated with me daily to let me know who’s my dog. was doing. I will definately use Margaret again!!

I highly recommend Isabel to watch her best friends. This is the first time I have ever used a pet sitter who was not family and couldn’t be more pleased! Thank You Isabel again for taking great care of Groot.

Stevie was great with my pets and administered medications provided when needed for my senior. I would give 5 stars but unfortunately people who were not verified through the rover app were brought onto my property by the sitter during the job and I was not notified. Only reason I knew was due to property camera footage. Dog care was overall great.

Regan is amazing! Our meet and greet went great but during the visit my dog was nervous, barking and keeping his distance. Regan took the time to make him feel comfortable and now he loves when Regan visits! I appreciate Regan so much. I'll definitely be booking again.

This was my first time using Rover. I typically board my dogs but the kennel caused them such anxiety that I thought I would try a sitter this time. Why didn't I think of that sooner? They were happy and well taken care of when I returned home. Katirna was dependable, easily accessible, and communicated with me on a regular basis. She will be my first choice every time.

Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.

About: I’ve grown up with animals! I’ve always had a cat to take care of! I got my first kitten when I was around 5 years old! ever since I’ve had an amazing connection with all animals but especially cats more than anything. I have watched over dogs many of times. I can handle a big dog but I am mainly used to small/medium dogs ahah:) I’ve currently have dealt with puppies and them being sick! I have learned many new things along the way! I am so excited to learn more things about animals as I watch over them. I have only ever pet sit once through rover, but I can assure you I have plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to animals! Your dog/cat would be so lucky to have me watch over them:) I currently have no full time job! which gives me more time for your fur babies.. I am currently in school working on getting closer to being a veterinarian assistant:)) my schooling is completely online though so I can bring it wherever I go. I am majoring in Animal Science! I would care for your fur babies in your home the same as if you were there. provided you leave me with a schedule of your pets day!

About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats. I have worked with a non-profit rehabbing retired throroughbreads and retraining them for lives off the track, which has given me confidence, patience, and adaptability in handling spirited animals. I am currently working freelance and control my own schedule, so I can customize the level of care required to your needs. I'm happy to care for them at your home or take them on adventures to parks, hikes etc. Depending on your pet's needs, I am available for walks, feeding, playtime, training, boarding, and any other activities they enjoy. My demeanor is calm and patient, able to babysit a senior animal with special needs or entertain the most energetic of birddogs. I have experience in animal training for film and TV and am happy to offer those skills to teach new behaviors if requested.

About: Hi! My name is Kimberly, and I’m a reliable, caring pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. 💖 About Me I have a strong love for animals and experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. 🐶 Services I Offer * Dog walking (daily or occasional) * Drop-in visits (feeding, playtime, potty breaks) * Overnight pet sitting * Medication administration (if needed) * Basic grooming (brushing, light cleaning) 🏡 Why Choose Me? * Patient, trustworthy, and dependable * Flexible scheduling * Great with pets of all sizes and temperaments * Regular updates with photos/videos so you feel at ease 📍 Availability Available weekdays and weekends. Short notice bookings may be accepted—just ask! 📞 Contact Me Message me anytime to discuss your pet’s needs or schedule a meet-and-greet! Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around being consistent and dependable for the pets I care for. I build in time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the attention they need. On a weekly basis, I keep my schedule flexible so I can accommodate regular clients as well as last-minute requests. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I make sure pets are always a priority and never rushed. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I make time to give each pet proper care, attention, and companionship. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make part of my everyday life. At this time, I’m not offering boarding in my home or overnight stays in clients’ homes. I currently focus on drop-in visits and dog walking, where I can give pets reliable, one-on-one care in their own environment. During each visit, I make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets exercise or playtime, and plenty of attention. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any special instructions, including medications or specific care needs. I respect your home and make sure everything is left clean, safe, and secure. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. As my schedule grows, I may expand my services in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellijay on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 201 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ellijay. 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 Ellijay. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
