“Excellent experience with Patricia! She was incredibly communicative and professional, spending quality time with my senior cat. Not only did she feed and water Annie (cat), she spent time petting her, thoroughly cleaning the litter box, doing a few little chores like taking my garbage out when she noticed this was needed. I received report cards and photos for every single visit. She was also flexible with my schedule when I last-minute asked to add visits. She also brought a few special treats for Annie, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Patricia also came over even before I booked with her for a meet and greet with Annie. She asked a lot of good questions so I knew she could be trusted. Thank you, Patricia!”

“Jess was so wonderful to have watch our cat while we were away. She stayed at our place and kept our cat occupied with the laser and loved on while we were gone. I appreciated her sending pictures to us as well as coming home to a clean place! I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for the future. Thank you Jess!”

“Stop Scrolling! If you’re looking for professional, reliable help with your home or pets while you’re away, you’ve found her! Mary did drop in visits as our house sitter for six weeks and she was amazing!! She handled everything. She even went above and beyond - handling an emergency that arose while we were across the country. She is definitely the only person I will call for house and pet sitting 💛”

“We absolutely love having Jessica care for our puppy! She is attentive, reliable, always on time, and has great communication. She makes sure Sully gets plenty of playtime, is fed, and receives his medications as needed. We especially appreciate the photo updates and knowing he is in such good hands while we’re away. Most importantly, Sully absolutely loves Jessica! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable for their pets!”

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

She takes the absolute best care of our pups, is so sweet, and makes sure she shares the best photos. She always leaves the leashes and collars nice and neat when she is done for the day. She is the best!!”

About: Ever since I was 6 years old, I've had a lot of pet experience with all types of dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I've taken care of my own, family friend's, and the neighbor's dogs. Some breeds I have taken care of are: Boxers, Pitbulls, German Shepards, Border Collie, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and Pomeranians. During these times, I'd be trusted with basic needs such as feeding, exercising, bathing, and loving these pets! Additionally, it was always important that I make sure each pet and my own know that they are able to trust me and are able to be my little friend! I'm currently available Mon-Friday up until late evenings. I'll have more than enough time to spend with your pets! I am currently looking for a new job, so this please help support! I care for other's pets by providing great quality time & bonding through playing & relaxing. I can problem-solve if there's any issues with my relationship with the pet. For instance, if they are anxious or frightened. On the owner's notes & asks, I am able to gently crate the dogs or gate them wherever they need to be when I step out, or etc.

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parents’ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1–5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.

About: I have 2 cats of my own whom I love dearly, so I take the responsibility of pet-sitting very seriously. Things like daily enrichment, supervision, and providing a safe environment are my top priority. Fun fact: I watched my cousin's flying squirrel once as a kid! I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own that I care for on a daily basis, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine. I love to send updates and photos to pet parents throughout the day and I am super easy to reach over the phone if you need anything! I also like to give homes a small tidy up before I leave (free of charge) which would include removing pet hair, wiping down things down, and leaving the space better than I found it.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young! I have knowledge of young to elderly pets and pets with special needs. I like to be as open as possible so feel free to ask anything to put your mind at rest. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most days, with my only scheduled commitment being a Zoom class on Thursdays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have dogs of my own, so I’m already familiar with maintaining a consistent pet care routine. I would be willing to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle, and feed/provide any medication they may be on. I want you to feel confident about leaving your animals in my care. I am very flexible and willing to provide any care you normally provide for your fur baby.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Prior Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Prior Lake is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 812 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Prior Lake. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prior Lake. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% can help with daily exercise

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.
