“Alyssa jumped in last-minute to take care of my goats and did a great job. There was bad weather one night and she took care to lock them in the barn so they were safe. I appreciated the care she gave to them and hope she’ll watch them again in the future.”
“Michael was the most caring, considerate, punctual, and responsible person we could have ever imagined to watch over our dog. We booked him for two days of three visits. He put such thoughtful consideration into every visit. Each visit was perfectly on time, all instructions followed, and a thorough summary of his visits were provided consistently. I’m so relieved to have found a responsible person to care for our pup. We will be rebooking with Michael again!!”
“Erin did an amazing job caring for our kitten. She was attentive, friendly, and kind. She provided excellent care for our little kitty and even went out of her way to take care of her. We would highly recommend Erin for anyone else and would happily ask her to help support our kitten in the future if needed.”
About: Animals are my passion. I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs/cats of different ages and sizes. Through my years of experience, it’s easier to coax the most timid of animals into being my buddy. I like to learned and study what each animal needs or wants! So they are the most comfortable with me and on walks. I can check on animals mornings, midday through the afternoon and night. I’m free most weekends so any overnight stays would be fine with me. I would traditionally prefer animals to be in their own home. I know it can be stressful enough for an owner to leave their animals so I’d like for them to be the most comfortable in their own home.
“I can’t recommend Katie more. She dropped in with our cat Zia for 6 nights while we were on a trip. We finally didn’t have to worry if our pet sitter would show up or not. Katie was prompt each day and gave so much care and attention to our needy cat.”
“This was my first experience using a professional animal sitter and a commercial company. I was pleased with the outcome. Jessica did a great job of taking care of our two "babies". Her communications were timely and the pictures sent every day were adorable. Indoor cats are fairly easy to take care of, but someone has to do it and I was very happy with the job Jessica did. I will be using her services again.”
“Jaden was such a huge help! She was so good with my 2 cats and took wonderful care of them, while also keeping me up to date on how they were doing while I was out of town. One of my cats is very wary of new people, and Jaden was even able to win her over much more than I had expected! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. Also with Jaden being a vet tech, I knew that I could have such peace knowing my cats were incredibly safe and happy in her care. Definitely recommend!”
“Alexandria was great! Very attentive and communicative. It's always reassuring to have someone do great amazing drop in care for our senior dog who doesn't travel well anymore. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Communication was great and photos were sent of my my 2 dogs (golden doodle and a French bulldog), so I could see them while I was away. Booking were fast and very professional. I would recommend Hale to anyone who needs a pet sitter!! Loved using their service!””
About: I truly care about making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as stress free as possible. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be nerve wracking, so I make communication a priority and always keep owners updated. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and anxious,I adjust to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I treat every pet with the same love and care I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m someone who is very responsible and routine oriented so making sure pets are taken care of is something I take seriously. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I make sure pets get plenty of attention while also respecting their space and comfort level. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
“Kim did a great job taking care of our pups this week. Despite the torrential rain, she was able to spend a good amount of time with them even though they can sometimes be difficult. Many thanks once again. Would be happy to use Kim's service in the future.”
“Tara was wonderful! She treated Olaf just like he was her own puppy. She came over to our house, fed, walked, and played with him. More than once on her visits she sat and cuddled with him as he just wanted someone to be with him. She sent of pictures of each of her visits and was in constant contact with us while we were away. We will definitely is Tara again for our dog!”
About: You can relax, knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and we’ll give them the very best care! I also have years of experience pet sitting, as well as, dog walking. We have fostered so many amazing pups and love to make their lives better. I’m home Monday through Friday so your pup will never be alone. I have had several clients that I enjoyed working with very much. I provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention. I have a large fenced in yard, your pup will have full access to. They will be let out several times a day and played with. I have three small pups of my own, all under 35 pounds. I take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. There is also have a separate space to give new pups the opportunity to have alone time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elm
Danielle did a wonderful job with my two young and spunky cats. She sent tons of pictures throughout my vacation, which helped ease my anxiety about going away. The cats warmed up to Danielle quickly and I hope to book her in the near future for future trips!
I’m so happy I found her! This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter, so I was very nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She was super responsive, responsible, and followed all of my instructions for my two kittens perfectly. She clearly has experience with cats and cared for my kittens like they were her own. I also noticed a few things through my pet camera while I was away, and when I asked her to check in on them, she was so kind and helpful about it. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter!
Kim was amazing! Communication was excellent while we were gone. She watched our "raptor pack" (4 dogs and 4 cats) for 10 days while we were in Florida. They gave her some issues but she handled everything seamlessly. Would definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,003 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elm. 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.

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.
