“This is the second time I’ve used Elena and she always does a great job taking care of our cat and helps bring in packages that are left on the front porch! Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for about 13 years. I have taken care of mostly big dogs and cats but I’ve also taken care of turtles and fish I am currently working part-time however I have weekends off and I am available some days of the week so I am available almost every weekend to watch your animals! I enjoys taking animals for walk and cuddling with them in general. I love to see the playful side of animals and will play with them to their hearts content.
About: I have a dog and three cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for caring for them. I currently attend school online, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule, allowing me to accommodate different needs and be available throughout the day. I also have plenty of pet sitting experience, which has helped me become responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for animals. When it comes to animals, I have experience with just about everything! I’ve cared for animals ranging from rabbits to horses and everything in between. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has its own unique needs and routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, feeding, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important pets are to their families, and I would treat every animal in my care with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care! I currently attend school online, which gives me a flexible, open schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I am very reliable, responsible, and have my own transportation, so getting to and from visits is never an issue. I understand how important consistency is when caring for pets, and I’m committed to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I’ve worked hard to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all of my pets at home. My dog is fully trained both on and off leash, has excellent recall, and has a strong bond of trust with me. My three cats are free to roam throughout the house, and I have gates set up to ensure they always have their own safe spaces when they need them. I believe it's important for every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and have an environment that suits their individual needs. When caring for other people's pets, I am always very proactive, attentive, and cautious. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, pay close attention to each pet's behavior, and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Whether we're going on walks, spending time outside, or staying inside, I am mindful of potential risks and never take their safety for granted. I understand that every animal has different needs, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I always do my best to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority!
About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.

“I thought I spoiled my fur babies rotten but Mel out did me. She kept me informed how the kids were doing. I got daily updates including pictures and short videos. This was such a relief as I have had issues with pet sitters in the past. When we returned from our trip, the kids were relaxed and happy. I do believe they were looking for Mel. She is truly the cat whisperer.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Penryn
Sarah was amazing once again! This was our second time trusting her with Noodle while we were on vacation, and she did a fantastic job. She sent lots of adorable photos that kept us smiling and reassured the whole time. She went above and beyond by cleaning up little messes and even bringing in our packages. When we got home, we were so touched to find a thoughtful card with stickers waiting for us. Noodle was clearly well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Penryn is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $15 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.

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.
