“Joseph was an amazing sitter to our fur baby Brooklyn. She immediately took to him and it seemed as if they had known each other for years. Brooklyn was loved on so much! Joseph kept in constant contact, he sent videos and pictures, and you could tell that our old girl, was happy even without us being home. I definitely recommend Joseph and we will be calling on him again for such great and amazing care.”

“I W3S VERY nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of someone as well as allowing someone into my house while I was not there. My dogs immediately came up to her during our meet and greet. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. She sent tons of pictures and she responded quickly to any messages that I sent. She left my dogs and house in perfect shape. I will definitely rebook when I go out of town again! Thank you again Toni!”

Linda has done such a wonderful job playing and interacting with him during her visits, my cat really enjoys her company (and he’s not easy to impress!). Believe me, you won’t be disappointed if you hire her!”

“I was nervous to use this service (or to leave my kitties under anyone’s care), but Colleen was beyond fantastic. She sent photo updates every day and you could tell that she was spending quality time with the cats and making them feel loved while we weren’t there. We are so picky about our cats, but I will absolutely use Colleen again and hope that you will too!”

“Alex is the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took amazing care of my two stubborn Doxies. She updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I were away. I came home to two happy and healthy pups. I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Emily was awesome from start to finish. She was great during the meet and greet and made me feel comfortable leaving my pet with her. She communicated really well the whole time, kept me updated, and always responded quickly. She clearly cares about the animals she watches, and it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Overall, she did a great job, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Stephanie was great! She stopped in as she was scheduled every day. She let me know if there were any issues, brought in my packages and trash cans. She kept me updated with how they were eating, behaving and going potty. I received a lot of pictures and peace of mind. She had no problem doing a meet and greet before we left. Highly recommend Steph for your pet sitting needs!
Toni was very responsive in sending pictures and updating us on Maverick. She visited our place once in the morning and once in the evening. Our cat loved her visits. She spent more time than we carved out because she felt that our cat would appreciate it. We will definitely hire her again to take care of Maverick. Thank you so much!!
Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!
Jamie is amazing! So trustworthy, readily available, genuinely caring about the pets he’s looking after & just all around great! I’ve used him a couple times now and am looking forward to using his services again going forward! He send pics and updates with every visit even without request. My cat got anxiety while I was away and he tried to do what he could to help & asked for updates about her afterwards!
Thank you so much for always showing up for little bear, this weekend I had a major family emergency and you were able to show up next day with no questions asked! You are the bomb and showed up for me and my little boy in such a pivotal time in my life, thank you Alex! <3
I reached out to Madelyn not too long before a long trip because my usual pet sitter was not available. She was fantastic! Lots of cute pictures and videos and some notes. Leia had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend her to friends and will come back in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elsmere on Rover is $27.75 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 3,633 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elsmere. 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 Elsmere. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
