“Marisa did a great job watching our cat for us over the holidays. She was flexible, responsive and on time. Our cat is usually anxious and stressed out when we get back from trips, but this time she was calm and happy to see us!”
“Kristi was so amazing and I’m so thankful she watched my cat! Would definitely have her do so again! The photos and update's made me feel confident that Little Kim was taken care of and happy! Thank you so much!!!”
“Anna was so great!! Super communicative and willing to stop in and meet Olive before my trip. Would recommend Anna to anyone needing a pet sitter!! I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Sierra checked in on my two cats while I was out of town (twice daily). We had recently got the second cat and she was very helpful in continuing their integration while we were away and ensured they were properly fed and healthy. Will be booking again.”
About: I have experience caring for my family’s 3 cats for over 12 years. I have administered medicine, cleaned litter boxes, and picked up after accidents. I can adapt to different personalities, including nervous and reserved. I also have experience with dogs as I cared for my cousin’s dog on weekdays in highschool, lived with a roommate’s dog in college, and also recently lived with a puppy and walked her regularly from 5 months old to 1.5 years old. I work from home so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day! I also have 1 hour lunch breaks from 12-1pm every day. I am available on weekends as needed. I can walk your dog, play with your cat, give an afternoon snack, or clean the litter box! I love petting animals and will provide the type of care they need.
About: Outside of my own animals, i’ve taken care of animals in both a family friend setting and a professional setting! Here to make your furry friends comfortable! I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying animal science! So pet visits/walks give me an excuse to take a study break, while also making time to do something i love! My schedule will stay updated in my profile! Making sure the animal is comfortable is my number one priority! Ensuring they keep up with their daily routine, whatever it may be, is important to me! And of course giving them lots of love!
“Amber does a wonderful job with our boys! She is attentive to their needs, observant of their play preferences, and learned their unique personality quirks quickly. She followed our directions about food, water, litter, playtime, etc. to the letter!We are impressed, and our cats clearly feel safe and comfortable with her. We're definitely booking her in the future!”
About: I was introduced to my first kitty at 5 months old, she became my second sister and we grew up together. I have loved all cats since that first interaction, and simply the presence of a happy cat brings me joy. My second kitty had cancer and needed a caretaker post-surgery, so I have experience in cones, medication, and post-op care. In addition, I have taken care of pregnant mamas and her kittens after birth, as well as multiple senior cats. Overall, whether a cat is high or low energy and/or high or low maintenance, I am just happy to be around! I am currently an under-grad at the U of M, so the cat sitting will take place around my class schedule. My class load is relatively low, giving me opportunities to work on weekdays. I currently live on campus and have access to transportation. Cats are very specific about how they interact with humans, and I am adamant about giving them space if needed. It is hard to gauge how a cat will act before you see them, so it can be a lot of playing by ear. If a cat is high energy, I love to play and tire them out. On the other hand, some cats prefer naps and leisureliness, in which case cuddles, pets and love is my specialty. Wherever a cat is at the moment, I am always happy to comply to ensure they are as comfy as possible.
“THANK YOU SHYKALA. My cat has been experiencing some health issues and Shykala was so sensitive to my pets needs and made sure she was happy and comfortable and gave me great updates. She went above and beyond and even took the time to clean after my cat (she wasn’t asked to do that but it’s super appreciated). This isn’t the first time I have booked Shykala and it won’t be the last.”
“Teresa is the best cat sitter! My cat Chester immediately connected with her and enjoyed getting some playtime during her recent visit. I really appreciate Teresa’s attention to my cat’s needs when I’m out of town. You can count on her to follow detailed instructions, communicate throughly, and send lots of great photos. I would highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking for excellent pet care!”
“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”
“We love Sarah, more importantly Mylo our cat does too! He is very happy and we appreciate her time and dedication to him. We can vacation with peace of mind in knowing our Mylo is greatly being taken care of.”
“Caroline is incredibly loving to the animals in her care! She visited my cat while I was away and gave her the live and cuddles my cat craved. I am very grateful for all the pictures she sent me as well, which eased my mind. I am very grateful for Caroline!”
About: Absolutely — here’s a polished version that sounds professional, trustworthy, and genuine, while highlighting your experience with different animals: I’ve been caring for animals for years and have experience looking after dogs, cats, and other pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and providing attentive care based on each pet’s needs. I’ve also rescued and cared for stray and wild cats, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive with animals of all personalities. I truly love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with additional availability on weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and care they need. I’m also happy to accommodate individual routines and preferences.
“Gabby was great, very communicative, and my cats seemed well cared-for. She even went to my building to try and check on them the day after my last booking date when my flights were unexpectedly delayed. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter to anyone I know.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Dave was very reliable and tuned into my two cats—where they go, how to draw them out, and building a relationship with them. His communication was terrific: he gave handy updates and posted sweet photos, and I knew they were in good hands. I strongly recommend Dave!
Cassandra provided excellent care for my rabbits and cat. I was nervous about trying a new pet sitter when my regular sitter was unavailable for the weekend, but I was quickly put at ease by Cassandra's experience, and by how comfortable my pets were with her. My cat can be a bit high-strung, one of my rabbits is especially timid, and the other rabbit is very high-energy, and she was able to interact with each of them in they ways their varying personalities required to make them feel happy and safe.
Yuliia did a FANTASTIC job checking in on my cat! She went above and beyond, sending pictures and checking in with me multiple times a day with updates on how things were going. I felt so at ease and knew she was taking great care of my sweet boy while I was away! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter in the Minneapolis area! 😊
Annette visited my kitten and was very prompt and kind. My kitten is usually pretty shy but she came out and played for a little with her. Annette also followed all my directions perfectly and I felt safe knowing she was visiting my cat. I appreciate her going above and beyond before, during and after the visit. I’d recommend booking with her to everyone!
Teresa did a wonderful of taking care of our cat Gabby. She stayed in touch with us and was very attentive to Gabby's needs. This was the first time Teresa took care of Gabby, who is usually very aloof to anyone but the two of us. However, we can tell from Teresa's photos that she found a way to coax Gabby out from her usual hiding places and interact with her. Teresa also did a great job of cleaning up after Gabby, who can be rather messy. We highly recommend Teresa as a pet sitter!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Minneapolis on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
