About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience as a dog walker, house sitter, and cat sanctuary caregiver, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I take pride in being attentive to the little details and making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are cared for. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and spending time with all kinds of animals. After working at a cat sanctuary for a year, I have a special place in my heart for cats and plenty of experience caring for them with patience and love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I am a full time student online earning my degree in Biology. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays to give your baby plenty of love and care. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the client’s home and take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hello! I'm Lea, someone who loves and adores pets. Recent undergrad at Purdue who just relocated to Oregon. I live with a veterinarian in training, so I have constant hands on experience with my home life on how to take care of dogs. I am Cat and Dog CPR FIRST AID Certified! I've house sitted for many of dogs when I was younger, so I have much experience with dogs. I’ve also volunteered with the humane society many of times in my free time. I find it very important to care about dogs and give dogs love and attention when their owner can't at the moment. I'm willing to help in anyway with the dogs. I especially love walking and playing with dogs! My schedule is very flexible, so I am willing to work with anyone when needed.

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”

“Shauna was the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is great with cats! She has five cats herself, so she is attuned to their needs and has a nuanced, living experience with making sure they are cared for as much as possible. She was very astute at perceiving our cat's need for engagement and played with her consistently when we were gone. Most importantly, she made sure our cat felt loved and cared for when we were away. This quality is very difficult to define, but became apparent immediately after she started writing her Rover cards! She went way above and beyond what was required to care for Zoe. I would recommend her to anyone with a social pet needing meaningful engagement with people when you are out of town. We will definitely remember her for any time we are on travel in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,784 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
