“Kelly responded quickly and was very easy to work with. I felt comfortable selecting her as my dog's interim caregiver while I was away for an event. We did a meet & greet, my dog loved her, and the entire process went smoothly. As a Rover user of nearly a decade (and a nervous dog mom), I am pleased to have found Kelly.”
“Carley went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies! I had timers on my sprinklers for all of my flowers, which Carley realized were not set correctly. She sent pictures of my babies who looked happy and content. We will 100% use her for future trips. -great communication and follow through - it’s clear she is 100% invested in the job she does -very professional and respectful -on time and very attentive -we felt comfortable and safe having her in the home with our pets”
About: I have had various experiences with dogs and cats. I grew up around animals. I have dog sit and cat sit for friends and families for multiple years now and am very reliable. I have let sit for large dogs that are in older age and needs special care. I have also pet sit for multiple pets at once. It was a small dog and 2 cats. We went in walks, had cuddles, and played games. We even got to play with some toys. I am currently on summer break from teaching and am completely free. As I am not teaching right now I am able to be flexible to your needs of your pets. Whether that is going for a walk or going outside to play. I have my own apartment and it is animal friendly. Due to this the environment is very safe and inviting. In my home it is very calm and clean. This is important just in case your pet has allergies. Since I don’t have any pets myself I am able to give lots of care and attention to your pets.
About: I have always taken care of sweet fur babies since I was a kid. They are man’s best friends!. I was always asked to watch the neighborhood animals, feed, walk, bathe and play catch or tug a war with them. I have taken care of animals of all kinds and can administer medicine or shots if needed. They always leave with a smile on their face and tail wagging. I am available 24/7 to give your animal lots of walks, love and play time. I will be by their side all day to give them lots of care and attention. I have a fenced in backyard they are welcome to enjoy! A very clean home environment for them to enjoy. Lots of attention shown. Any needs they have are always met!
“Crystal was very friendly. She got along well with both our labrador retriever and our small Yorky poo, It was nice knowing that we had someone we could count on while we were out of town for the day..👍🏻😁”
About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“Isabel took such good care of our two cats and they just adore her. Her communication and response to us was very punctual and every detail we asked was taken care of. I highly recommend Isabel for your pet care needs.”
“Cierra was wonderful. It's hard for me to leave my cat for a week, but I wouldn't hesitate with Cierra in charge. Timely, considerate, professional, and pleasant to be around. I wish her the best.”
“Haley was awesome with our frenchie and two cats. This was our first time using Rover. She followed all the instructions for our babies. She made sure they received the attention they deserved and sent update photos for every visit. She was also on time every visit as well. She is much appreciated for the care she provided while me and my wife were away on vacation and I highly recommend her to others, and will be using her again in the future.”

About: ! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up in a home with five Labrador Retrievers and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a part of my everyday life. Being around so many animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving every pet the individual attention they deserve. I recently graduated from college, where I was a collegiate athlete, and I’m currently earning my MBA. Balancing athletics, academics, and work has made me dependable, organized, and responsible, these are qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. My family has five Labrador Retrievers, so I have daily experience feeding, walking, exercising, and caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’m currently earning my MBA through an online program while working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I always make it a priority to give every pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while keeping them comfortable and following their normal routine. I know every pet is different, so my goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, or just spending time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority, so I’ll always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I genuinely love being around animals, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 364 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elm City. 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 Elm City. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
