“She was so kind and thoughtful with our sweet babies She gave off such a good energy, and I had no hesitations about leaving them with her. The care and love she has for dogs absolutely comes through. Would definitely book her again!”
“Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.”
“Christa was wonderful! She takes pet care very seriously and constantly kept us updated on how our cat was doing while we were out of town with pictures and check-ins about his behavior. 10/10 will hire again. ?”

“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”
“Jenn - I can’t thank you enough! You managed to bring our very scared and timid little pup around. You have been so patient with him and we appreciate it so much! You have been so reliable, easy to communicate with, I absolutely adore your updates about the pups!! Thank you so much for filling in the gaps in our puppy care!!”
“Jeannette was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using the Rover App for a weekend away and I was very comfortable with leaving my dog in her care. She was very communicative, active with my pup, and just went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Definitely recommend, Jeannette, 100%!”
“Colleen is fantastic!!! I have three cats and one dog, two of which are older and one is reluctant to eat and requires medication. I was super nervous to leave them especially since my older cat will just decide not to eat if any tiny thing changes in his routine. Colleen is an absolute star. She got right in and dealt with all of my pets’ individual needs as well as MY anxieties, lists and stickynotes. I got multiple texts with every single visit and she responded to MY texts immediately. I could tell with every photo or text she sent that my furbabes were getting excellent care. I definitely look forward to trusting Colleen with my furchildren again! ?”
“Sarah is a natural with dogs! Our dog is 6 and this is the first time we have ever left her with a sitter since she can be anxious at times! Sarah set us all at ease. She was awesome!”
“Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Caterina was amazing! She took great care of my cat, Frankie, and was very attentive to everything he needed while I was away. I would definitely rebook her for any future times I'll be out of town.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Elsmere is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elsmere
Emily’s service was superb! She took personal time to come for a meet and greet with my cats and to pay attention to care instructions. We received many pictures and updates at every visit. We felt at ease knowing that she was taking care of our babies while on vacation. If you want a kind, trustworthy and reliable sitter, look no further!
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!
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

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elsmere on Rover is $27.75 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 .

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.
