Awesome job! Tom stayed with our animals when we got stuck in the recent storm. We had to pull off for the night and since he made it over here he was safe and didn’t think he should go out again. He agreed and stayed with the dogs. Thank you Tom! You’re a life saver!!!

About: I am a skilled educator and have extensive experience with pets of all types including small breeds and large breeds. Pets naturally love me and I enjoy caring for them in your absence. Let me make them happy, healthy, and loved when you can't be home. Whatever the capacity your pet care needs are I am certain that I can meet them and exceed expectations. Wouldn't you love to know your pet is cared for by a skilled and caring animal lover. I have experience with livestock- horses, goats, sheep, swine, cattle, etc. I Kennel tech experience and experience with medication, vaccinations, and daily care. Experience with special needs and medication admistration. I can accommodate special requests and genuinely love spending time with all types and breeds. Whatever your pet care needs let me be a part of making your pet feel loved while you are away. Kc Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule to make sure pets receive consistent attention and care. I set aside time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day so their routine stays as normal as possible. I’m very organized and dependable, so I make sure each pet gets the exercise, affection, and supervision they need while their owners are away. Keeping pets comfortable, active, and well cared for is always a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, and any special care the pet may need. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention through walks, interactive toys, and companionship. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to make sure they are happy and healthy. Cleanliness is important to me, so I keep food areas, litter boxes, bedding, and living spaces clean and comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with respect while making sure the pet receives consistent care, affection, and supervision. My goal is to keep pets relaxed, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I've never met a dog that wasn't my best friend. I've house sat for multiple families and have had experience with dogs/cats of all sizes. I've owned pets my entire life, currently I have a husky/lab mix 5 year old girl dog. I'm currently working part time, so I'm pretty flexible. My work schedule is set but it leaves me plenty of time to house sit and keep the pups/cats happy while you're away I currently am self employed/work from home. This allows me plenty of time to take care of your pets. This also allows me to have a flexible schedule. prefer not to bring animals to my home, would rather do house sitting as I do not own my own place, if necessary contact me for more details.

About: I've had pets my whole life. In high school I volunteered with the humane society and as an adult I've worked with rescues and the raptor center at U of M. Let me take care of your furry family member like they are my own. I'm currently unemployed and looking for enjoyable income spending time with your faithful companions. Caring for them will be the highlight of my day. I love to see happy animals. I have a fenced yard to allow space for my two large dogs. Their food is backed by veterinary nutritionists. My two cats enjoy showing affection via head butts and K sleeps on my hip. My turtle roams the house often and enjoys spending time with his siblings. For Christmas I bought a box of 100 tennis balls. They love it.

About: I've had pets for a big chunk of my life. I have past experience taking care of others beloved pets as well. I have had pets in the past and plan to get more. I live with my mom and sister and then have their own fur babies. I love and am very devoted to animals. I've taken care of both dogs and cats. Plus lizards, rabbits, guninea pigs and probably more! I am a student also working part time. Feeding and potty breaks shouldn't be a problem. I am able to do 2 feedings a day and 3 to 4 potty breaks a day depending on your pets needs. I am very stuck on routines. I will feed them as needed as well as bring them on regular walks if needed. I currently reside in my mom basement with my cat. It's also closed off due to my cat needing to be separated from the other cats in the house. My cat does fine with dogs, she just gets jealous.

About: Hi, I’m Mallory and I am a dog lover to my core! The big thing you should know about me is that I will absolutely treat your dog as my own and will most likely love them within seconds of meeting! I’ve had dogs all throughout childhood and I’ve always taken the best care of them! I’ve played with dogs while babysitting for kids and I also have a couple friends that I have dog sat and house sat for! I’m currently a full time nanny in Okoboji Monday-Friday; 8:30-4:30. I am luckily able to take the kids with me to do things so I could very easily let dogs out during the day, feed them, etc. The same goes for house sitting, if your pet can be left alone for a few hours at a time! My weekends are almost always open unless I’m babysitting or going out of town for the day! I cannot care for any pets in my home as my dog isn’t a fan of other dogs but I am more than willing to come to yours! I always play with them for a little bit before I leave and after I have fed them/let them out! I always make sure they feel loved and cared for while their parents are away!

Alyssa and her partner watched my cat for a week and they were amazing. They sent updates and kept me in the loop if something was wrong. I would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Spirit Lake on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.
