“Lexi has always been great with our two kitties, super responsive and kind. She goes above and beyond every time we are out of town and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Absolutely loved all the photos and the little updates! And when our plans changed and we weren’t able to get home as planned you were so flexible in helping out an extra day. Thank you so so much!”
“Christina is the best. Our 3 doggies remember her and are so happy when she comes. She takes the very very best care of our lil babies whenever we go away. We trust her completely.”
“Jen did great! E we’re gone two weeks but you would have thought we had only gone to work. She must have given him a LOT of attention. She sent great updates and photos. She even made an extra stop when she thought he wasn’t feeling well. Thanks Jen!!”
“Everything went smoothly, and I could not be more pleased! Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes but she took to Katie right away when Katie came for the meet-and-greet before setting up the recurring visits. That made me feel secure right there. It's a weight off my mind to know someone reliable, kind and caring is looking in on my little ones.”
“We are so glad Kristine was available on Christmas Day to check on our cat. She came a few days prior on late notice for a meet and greet and provided a nice update!”
“Nala absolutely loves when Kat comes to visit! We’re so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and the way she treats Nala like family. It’s a huge relief to know she’s in such good hands while we’re away!”
“We just had Dave over for the first time to walk our dog who can sometimes be a little nervous when new people come to the home. He was wonderful with him and sent lots of photos during the visit. Communication was great throughout the process and we would not hesitate to have him back.”
“Jessi always does such a wonderful job taking care of my girls. When I have to go away I know they are going to recieve excellent love and care. She always provides updates and pictures so I know how they are doing. And she goes above and beyond: she replaced the batteries in our scale, repaired a cat toy that got stuck in our vacuum and brought in some unexpected packages. I highly recommend Jessi if you need someone to care for your fur baby!”
“Jenn cared for our cats just as if they were her own. She clearly loves cats, as evidenced by the meticulous details she communicated to me about her daily visits with them. We came home to happy cats! I will definitely ask Jenn to care for our cats again in the future.”
“Carolyn was easy to communicate with and was incredibly accommodating when I made a scheduling error. She took great care of my cat and kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you!!”
“Kelsey was great with our dog and his drop-in visits! I appreciated her flexibility with my visit time changes and her communication was awesome. I loved the pictures she included in her updates! Would definitely book her again”
“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”
About: From week long in-home stays to quick 15 minute walks, I have done it all! I started occasional dog walking in 8th grade and i’ve continued pet care for 9 years. I have experience with high energy and large dogs like Belgian Malinois to lower energy senior dogs that just need companionship. I can truly cater to each dog and what they need. I grew up with dogs and currently have two, a rottweiler and a lab. I currently work two jobs but they are usually pretty spread out time wise. I work in the morning from 7:30 to 2:00pm and two nights a week from 7:00pm to 12:00 am. I have weekends free so plenty of time for visiting! I will not be able to offer any in home care as I have two dogs at home that do not enjoy the company of others.
About: I have a cat and a dog who absolutely run our household! I would love to spend time with many different breeds! I briefly worked at a dog day care when I was in high school and was able to dog sit two golden retrievers for the family I baby sat for. I’d love to take care of your pets as if they were my own!! I currently work 7-4 during week days! Most of my free time is after work and during the weekends I have a good amount of flexibility in me evenings to schedule appointments as needed! I focus mainly on dog walking services and maintaining safety for the dog while there is top priority! We will mainly be walking on trails or less trafficked streets. I am open to discussing any concerns or precautions for each specific dog.
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats my entire life. My experience includes everything from showing dogs in competitions to taking my cat on outdoor adventures, so I understand the unique needs of pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m skilled in providing attentive care for all ages, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra support. Beyond walks and playtime, I’m always ready for cuddle sessions to make pets feel loved and at ease. My goal is to provide the same warmth and dedication I’d give my own animals, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and valued in my care. I’m currently a first-year medical student. I’m typically available weekday mornings and late afternoons, as well as all day on weekends, making it easy to accommodate regular walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. In clients’ homes, I respect and maintain their pets' usual routines, providing a familiar environment with careful attention to each pet’s unique needs, personality, and comfort preferences. I prioritize their safety by keeping harmful items out of reach, using secure leashes and harnesses on walks, and following any specific feeding or medication instructions precisely.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elm Grove
Alyssa was absolutely wonderful with Willow while we were away on vacation! She followed all of Willow’s care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. It was clear from the updates and Willow’s reaction that she loved having Alyssa stop in to feed her, brush her, and spend time playing with her. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. I would highly recommend Alyssa!
Cannot say enough about Dave and how amazing he is with our boys. They love seeing him in a way they don’t with other people and he always takes exceptional care of them. We’re really lucky to have him and we don’t need to worry when we go out of town at all because we know our furry family members are in such good hands.
We cannot recommend Carolyn highly enough! She did a fantastic job watching our cats, Ava and Chase. She followed all of our care instructions and made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It was so reassuring to see the attention to detail she had, like cleaning out their bowls at every single feeding. On top of the stellar care, she took absolutely incredible pictures of them while we were away! We would book with her again with zero hesitation.
Jenifer was amazing doing drop and visits for our cats. We really appreciated how responsive she was when we first reached out to her. Her communication was great, including photos of her daily visits. We felt very comfortable having her in her home and have no doubt our pets were well cared for. We will absolutely rebook with Jenifer!

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 1,052 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elm Grove. 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.
