“There's just no one better than Brooke! She's the only human being besides me that my cats will actually let her pet them. Usually I get photos of them under the bed. But not this time! I've already referred her to a friend. Thank you so much Brooke! See you next time.”
“Abbie was excellent. She went above and beyond to make sure Koda was well taken care of. She set updates and pictures to keep me informed on how Koda was doing. I would definitely book with Abbie again!”
About: Hi! I’m Aubrey, a lifelong dog lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pit/staffy mixes and senior dogs. My journey started at 16 with my first dog, Diesel, a pit/lab mix who is now a happy senior. When I moved into my own place, I welcomed Crowley, a staffy/pit mix. Caring for two dogs over the age of 10 has taught me the perfect balance of keeping up with active play, enjoying brisk walks, and providing plenty of cozy cuddle time. What I offer your dog: Bully Breed & Senior Care Experience: Experienced with big dogs, strong pullers, and the gentle patience senior pups need. Active & Affectionate: Plenty of walks, playtime, and lap-snuggles tailored to your dog's energy levels. Attentive & Reliable: Deeply familiar with dietary routines, health needs, and safety. Daily Updates: Clear communication and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! As of right now I’m on disability from work so I have a lot of time during the day! I go to PT once or twice a week, work on schoolwork, walk my own dog typical 2x a day. If I house sit I’d have to come to your home as my dog is not friendly. I can be highly accommodating to your and your pets needs
“Two of my cats have special care needs that make them more complicated than the typical cat, and everything went smoothly! Really appreciated the updates too. Thank you for taking care of my cats!”
“We ended up having to go out of town for two weeks, and Grace was more than willing to help us out with the cats! Our cats are pretty independent, but every now and then they decide they actually like humans 😂. We really appreciated Grace stopping by to check on them and making sure they were doing okay while we were gone. We loved getting the photos and little updates from Grace, too! It gave us peace of mind knowing they were being checked on and taken care of. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely have her watch our cats again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my cat. My kitten had never been left alone before, and is very shy. Jennifer was so patient with her and was wonderful with reassuring me as well. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Mattie sent lots of pictures and very thorough updates. I always feel bad leaving my kitten but I felt better knowing Mattie was checking in on her. Thanks Mattie!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m incredibly impressed with Abby as a sitter! From the very first visit, she made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The updates were top-notch every time, with the cutest photos and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind. My dog absolutely lights up when Abby arrives, which says everything. She clearly cares so much and is amazing with pets of all personalities. Communication is quick and smooth, scheduling is easy, and she is always reliable and professional. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to caring for your fur babies, Abby is the perfect choice. Your pet will be in the best hands! 🐾❤️”
“I was in town for a funeral and needed a place to board my cat. Payton was available and was able to watch him for about 8 hours. She kept him in a comfortable space away from her pets and even sent me a photo to assure me that he was adjusting to the surroundings. I would highly recommend Payton to anyone wishing to board their pet in the Northern Kentucky area.”

“Ben was fantastic with Henry and Homer. I appreciated all the extra care and love Ben gave my guys when I was away. They were very well taken care of and Ben went above and beyond all expectations.”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter/walker who treats every pet like family. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a quiet cuddle, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always focused on safety, comfort, and joy. From daily walks and playtime to medication and meal routines, I make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. With experience in caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide a calm, confident presence you (and your pet) can trust. My goal is to make every visit or walk feel like a little burst of happiness for your pet. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐾 I’m currently a part-time student studying Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and I also work as a bartender. While I balance both school and work, I maintain a flexible schedule and am able to adjust my availability as needed. I’m highly organized and manage my time well, which allows me to stay committed and dependable in all my responsibilities. I always treat animals in my home with love, patience, and respect. Whether it’s my own pets or ones I’m caring for, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. With my experience at the shelter, working for a groomer, and raising my own pets, I’ve learned how to understand their needs and provide a calm, nurturing environment. Giving animals the attention, care, and affection they deserve is something I take to heart every day.
About: I have been an animal owner and lover my entire life. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I am to keep your fur babies, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am practically free in the mornings and anytime after 7 most days. Weekends are also free so call me up for some last minute help! I love my animals and have them around all the time. We take them on walks frequently, let them run outdoors, have plenty of play time and don’t forget snuggles!
“Amanda is great! I’m an anxious cat mom when I have to leave them😅, but I love the updates she always sends of them! One of my cats is super skiddish but she’s been slowly coming out to visit her! & The other one loves play time 😂”
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.
About: I’m very good with animals, I have 5 pets of my own including cats and dogs and I also just love animals and want to be around them as much as I can! Right now I’m completely free for the summer and so I would be available to come and take care of them and am even willing to stay over nights but I still live at home so it would have to be at a clients house. I love to play with pets, cuddle or anything else that the specific pet might need. I’m pretty flexible and I’ve dealt with the gross stuff so that doesn’t bother me either.
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elsmere
This was my first time using Elisabeth and I am very satisfied with her services! She was very attentive and informative in the notes and made me feel calm and at ease when she cared for my fur babies. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others.
One of my three cats needed medical attention during my absence and Payton got her promptly to the vet. Thanks to Payton, the cat's back to her "normal" self. She kept me well informed of what was happening and followed up with feedback from the vet and her own observations. Definitely giving Payton a solid 10, and I am about to book her again for my next trip.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elsmere on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,046 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:
- 97% 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.
