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: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have always loved the responsibility of taking care of pets - as they take care of me mentally by having a buddy around.

Morning-noon-or night - I’ll fit you and your loved one into my schedule! I’m willing to be super active with your animal if you want as I love to get outside and get my steps in.

About: I have taken care of my friend's cats (as well as my own) for years and am excited to start offering my services on Rover. I'm a proud cat dad to three very spoiled cats. I'd love to spend time with your pets, playing and engaging them while you're out of town. I'm a writer, which offers me tons of flexibility. I can even help you last minute! I am a writer, which means I don't work a "traditional job," so your pet will always be my first priority and primary concern. I am here to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have three cats at home and know they can be quite curious creatures. If there's something you need me to keep an eye on (making sure they don't bolt, etc.), I'm happy to accommodate their needs to ensure everyone is safe.

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.

Irene did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away on a trip for 2 weeks. Kept me updated on everything with my cats and sent me some nice pictures to look at so that I didn't miss them too much while I was gone. Really appreciate her and will definitely be booking her again in the future if ever needed.
Anna was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend having her watch your pets. Everyday she would send me updates and tons of pictures which made it so much easier to enjoy my time away knowing she was taking such good care of them! She went absolutely above and beyond with cleaning their water fountain, vacuuming around the litter boxes and hallway, fixing their feeders, and playing with them everyday! Thank you Anna!
Claire was so great with our cat and dog. We did and meet and greet to explain Claire how our routine was and to introduce her to our anxious dog. Her notes and photos gave me so much relieve on knowing how and what she was doing. Communication was great to coordinate and book with her. Claire is so flexible and we will book with her on the future.
Working with Jaimee for a 4-day cat-sitting booking was so easy! She was great at communication and willing to do a meet & greet beforehand since this was a new experience for me. She stuck to the schedule we outlined and sent updates and pictures with each visit. My cat seemed happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her services and book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Minneapolis is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 868 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Minneapolis. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
