About: Animals of all different shapes and sizes have been a part of my life ever since I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of my mom putting a tarantula in my hand. I grew up visiting my mom at the zoo she worked at and loved getting to go backstage and help care for the animals. We even briefly housed a binturong and porcupine as they were too young to be left alone. Pets that were solely my responsibility include a turtle, betta fish, hermit crab, hedgehog, and cat. My family always had some combination of dog and cat(s) growing up that I would assist in caring for as well. I've dog/cat/house sat for various neighbors and friends over the years and would love the opportunity to care for yours through Rover now too. I work remote and set my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling pet care. After a busy winter/spring I'm looking to keep my summer relatively relaxed aka I should be around to help you out. I'm happy to care for your critters while you travel for days or swing by for a walk on short notice assuming I don't have a rare meeting scheduled. I'm available for walks/a trip to the dog park as well as caring for your pet(s) in your space during the day or an extended overnight situation during which I'm happy to house sit as well.

About: I have both professional and personal dog care experience While I was growing up, there was always at least one animal in our house. I also have experience training puppies for an organization called Custom Canines Service Dog Academy (CCSDA), out of Madison, WI. With CCSDA, I raised two golden retrievers, one who went on to become a total access service dog for a veteran and her family. Training includes a lot of socialization and bringing the dogs everywhere to get them used to being out in public and working amidst distractions as well as obedience and special skills training. I most recently worked in Ely, Minnesota at a sled dog yard. Responsibilities included feeding dogs, handling the dogs, basic doggie first aid check-ups after each run and more while managing the working dogs. I have learned a lot about animal behavior through those experiences, and I am very comfortable around all types of dogs. Currently I am in a bit of a transition, I just got back from traveling and I am in GB, working and taking a class. Using this as a side gig to make a little bit of extra money before I move to Maine in the spring. I am available on weekdays between 9 am and 9 pm and most weekends as well. I can be pretty flexible as to which days and times I am available, so just reach out and we can work something out! I am living with three dogs at the moment. My family has two loving labs (7 & 5) who get on well with each other and other dogs. My sister also has a golden retriever in the house who is 1 year old. I love to take the three dogs for walks around the neighborhood and because they are friendly and get on well with other dogs, we occasionally make trips to the dog parks in the area. It is unlikely, but if I have one of the dogs with me, I would definitely clear that to make sure it is okay with you and your pets first.

About: I have two weiner dogs and a chunky cat that I spoil rotten! I can’t wait to do the same for your pets. ♡ My whole life I have provided care for neighbor and friend’s cats and dogs— I always considered that my first official job! I also have experience shadowing and interning at my hometown vet office. I now work remotely in Ely and can easily be there to walk and/or drop in on your pet(s)! I work remotely from home, so I can be there to provide care for your pets during the working hours (M-F, 8am-5pm). I will prioritize time with your pets! (Based on my life schedule, I am also available for select weeknight & weekend care.) I always walk my dogs, Linus & Louie, on a leash or harness to keep them safe on walks/hikes, and I provide only the best care for him in terms of food, health, and love. I am familiar with many dog behaviors and can adjust to care for your dogs special needs.

So happy to have Kelly serving this area! They're truly caring with my pets. I had to adjust the schedule because of an unplanned visit, and Kelly was super flexible and understanding. I'd definitely recommend Kelly and her reliable assistant to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thank you Kelly and Ryan.

About: I have one dog and two cats, so i have a long road of pet experience behind me. I also would petsit my parents friends foster animals, neighbors pets and my grandmothers two cats, and had lots of fun doing so! I currently work full time but am planning on starting part time, one of my hobbies is hiking so i always have time to walk dogs. I often take my dog on frequent walks and let her outside to go potty, I do not take my cats outside but I play with them frequently.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ely on Rover is $14.43 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 .

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
