“Katie is absolutely amazing! We have never used a pet sitter before and were nervous to find someone that we could trust. We could not have hoped for a more thoughtful, considerate, loving person to watch our cat, Jellyfish. She cared for her so well we were nervous Jelly would want to leave us for her. Lol! We are already planning to work with her again. She is worth every penny!”
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, from the cats, dogs, chickens, cows, and rabbits at my relatives’ homestead to my own two cats and Siberian husky today. My experience includes caring for recurring dog-walking clients and working with pets of different sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m especially comfortable with large dogs, shy or sensitive pets, and animals who need patience before they feel secure. I also volunteer spending time with and socializing cats at the Lincoln County Humane Society. Living with a husky and two cats has taught me that every animal communicates differently. I pay close attention to body language, routines, comfort levels, and the small signals that tell me what a pet needs. I use calm, positive handling and never force interaction with an animal who needs more time or space. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Depending on your pet’s needs and normal routine, I can provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, litter-box care, medications according to your instructions, and companionship. Most importantly, I care for pets as individuals rather than simply completing a checklist. My goal is for them to feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can often adjust my availability for recurring visits, occasional care, and advance bookings, including some weekends. Because I manage my own schedule, I’m able to give each visit the time and attention it deserves rather than squeezing pet care into an already packed day. I provide walks and drop-in care in your pet’s own familiar environment. Before the first booking, I’ll learn about their routine, personality, household rules, feeding instructions, walking habits, and any medical or behavioral concerns. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and double-check doors and gates before leaving. I’ll also send an update after each visit so you know how your pet is doing and what we did together.

I have a fenced in yard and a playful and friendly mini dachshund of my own to keep your dog company while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 49 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merrill. 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 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.
