About: My dog Winnie is 17, so I’ve had lots of experience as a pet carer! Even though Winnie is a small dog, I have experience pet sitting and walking large dogs. I also love cats and have welcomed them into my home to cat sit over the last several years. I work as an independent artist and bartender, so I have a flexible schedule that gives me availability to take care of your furry friend or feline when you’re working! I am available morning, evening and night on weekdays and morning and afternoons on the weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet by following their routine closely and giving them plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal with patience, responsibility, and love.
“Ava helped us out with a last minute drop in on Labor Day! She was prompt, polite, sent lots of photos, and made sure our dog was fully taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable.”
“Claudia was excellent. She was timely, kind, and caring to our pups. She kept us updated throughout our trip. She’s an excellent photographer, capturing our pups as well. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has followed into adulthood. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to supervise, feed, and play with their pets. I pride myself on compassionate, reliable care for your beloved fur baby! I have a flexible work schedule during the week with Fridays and Weekends off. Which allows me plenty of time to care for your pets!

Communication is key, I provide regular updates to owners regarding their pets well-being while they’re under my care, including pictures and videos. It is extremely important to me to respect my clients household rules and follow their instructions.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover in the Commack area with a lifelong connection to animals. I grew up with small dogs and currently care for two rescued dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Maltese, who are truly my furbabies. I also volunteer at a PetSmart cat adoption center, where I’ve been helping care for cats for over a year. I’m starting pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy calm, safe, and caring neighborhood walks during the day. I especially love helping dogs get their daily exercise, attention, and comfort while their owners are busy. My goal is to be a reliable and gentle presence your pet can feel safe with, just like a trusted neighbor. Pet care fits into my weekly routine during weekday mornings around lunchtime. I am available for 30 minute neighborhood dog walks or short drop-in visits to check on pets, provide care, and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away during the day. I do not offer boarding in my home because I already have two dogs of my own, and I want to maintain a safe and calm environment for all pets. I only provide care in clients’ homes or nearby neighborhoods, focusing on small dogs under 40 lbs. For dog walking, I offer calm and safe 30-minute neighborhood walks with one dog at a time to ensure full attention and control (Up to two dogs per household). For drop-in visits, I follow all owner instructions, including feeding, fresh water, and letting dogs out into the backyard if needed. My priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I have a family dog that’s I’ve taken care of since 2022. Currently, I help my roommate care for her 10 year old Pitbull. I love dogs of all sizes and hope to get my own one day!! I am currently looking for something part-time. I WFH Thursdays and Fridays, off Sat/Sun. I am looking to fill my time within these days. While I cannot bring any pets home, I am more than happy to care for your fur babies in their own home. I aim to make them feel as safe as possible.
“Zoe took great care of my 2 dogs and provided me with peace of mind while I was away. Her excellent communication and thorough caretaking skills allowed me not to worry at all. I highly recommend her!”
“Kelsey saved the day when our usual sitter was unavailable on short notice and she took on a week of drop-in visits for us. She was reliable and took great care of our dog, Bear.”
“Jessica is absolutely amazing, great at communicating, and made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby was taken care of while I was away. I would 100% recommend her to others.”
“Taylor dropped-in on my 2-year-old (very anxious) cat for a week during a difficult time, and was AMAZING!!! She’s flexible, reliable, kind, easy to communicate with, and did a great job. I will 100% be booking with Taylor again next time I go out of town, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat-sitter. Thank you, Taylor!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elwood
Chrissy was fantastic! She took great care of our cat, Bella for 5 days while we were away. Our cat can be very shy, but they quickly became friends and we are very happy we found Chrissy to look after her. Chrissy was a responsive communicator the entire time and we’d recommend her to anyone.
Allison was wonderful and Milo was happy and obviously well taken care of while we were away. Allison also shared lots of photos during each visit which is much appreciated! Thank you again for accommodating us and Milo at the last minute so that we could enjoy a fun weekend away!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elwood on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,815 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Elwood. 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.
