“This was the first time leaving my pet. Jenna was so professional and did a fantastic job. I felt so at ease knowing Jenna was taking care of her. I plan to hire Jenna again the next time I need a pet caretaker.”
“Harold and Teddy said Rachel was great! Teddy loved playing and getting his zoomies out. Harold was so glad he could still get patio door sniffs while we were gone. We really appreciate you Rachel! Thanks for loving our little buddies while we were away.”
About: *I signed up for Rover in 2024 and had to deactivate after one booking due to husband's serious medical diagnosis. He is now doing great and I'm back to doing what I love* Loving, Experienced Cat Sitter | Senior Cats & Extra TLC Looking for a reliable, experienced cat sitter who will treat your feline family like their own? I would love to help! I have lived with and cared for cats most of my life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved companions. I am mostly retired, have a flexible schedule, and can typically accommodate short-notice cat sitting requests. Whether you need daily drop-in visits, vacation cat care, or extra attention for a senior kitty, I am happy to help keep your cat comfortable, safe, and loved while you are away. I always respect your cat's temperment and know I need to earn his or her trust. Senior Cat Care & Special Needs I have a special place in my heart for senior cats and those who need a little extra TLC. My own beloved cats, Little Boy and Angel, lived to the wonderful ages of 19 and 17. Little Boy passed away in 2025, and Angel in 2019. Our veterinarian told us they lived such long, happy lives because they were so well cared for and loved. I bring that same patience, compassion, and attentiveness to every cat in my care. My current cats are Panda, age 8, and Maya, age 3. I have always lived with two cats at once as an adult. I am comfortable caring for cats with special needs and administering medications. I have experience giving eye drops, ear drops, liquid medication, and crushed pill medication to my own cats and other cats, and I am happy to learn new medication routines when needed. Just let me know about your cat's medications, health concerns, personality, and daily routine ahead of time so I can provide personalized care. Your Cat Is in Caring Hands In addition to my lifelong experience as a cat owner, I am an active cat sitter through another pet-sitting platform. I understand that every cat is unique, from playful and curious kittens to shy, independent, or elderly companions. My goal is to make your time away easier and your cat's time without you as comfortable as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I no longer work outside the home and typically only travel once or twice a year, so I am happy to accept bookings on short notice. I live in Coon Rapids, have my own vehicle, and am willing to travel within Anoka County and parts of Hennepin County to provide care for your cat. I live in an apartment and already have the maximum allowed pets, which is two. However, I am happy to come to your home to provide care where your feline friend is most comfortable.
“Cassandra is so amazing to work with!! She was very patient with my anxious pup. He warmed up to her more than I thought he would because of her patience and care! Will definitely book Cassandra again. Thank you!!!”
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
“Lauren was great! Super communicative and took great care of my kitty while we were gone. She went above and beyond to bring in our trash bin for us. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!
“Brianna was right on time everyday and every evening to make sure Lucy was fed and walked and lived even though the weather was extremely hot all week. I loved the wonderful pictures she sent and the ongoing communication she gave me reassured me that Lucy was in great hands! Nancy”
“Danielle came over to take care of/ check on my super senior cat while I was out of town for a long weekend. She took care of all the things I asked of her to do for my kitty. I would rebook her if I ever need a sitter again.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for a few years for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to walk them and feed them and just keep them company I am currently available anytime during the week so I have plenty of time Monday through Friday to hang with your pups and bring them on walks I have a back yard and I have a dog that will give your pups some company that loves to go on walks and play
“Busy work schedules have made the days very long for our dog Ziggy, Lindsey has been a tremendous help to get him out for a potty break and quick walk or play time. He has been much happier vs spending long days in the kennel. Lindsey is our HERO!”
About: Hi! I’m currently available as a drop-in sitter with an open and flexible schedule, and I would love to help take care of your pet(s)! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve also been the sole owner of a cat for 4 years now. All pets receive the upmost care on my watch, and I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m excellent at maintaining schedules and routine care (feeding, medication, some grooming etc.), following instructions, sending updates, being reliable and adaptable, and overall ensuring your pet’s needs are met. I’m very flexible and available any day of the week and most times of the day, but I would prefer at least a day’s notice beforehand for when you need care. In my home, there’s my 1 cat as well as 2 dogs that are my parents’ dogs. With my cat, she has a daily feeding schedule (4 divided meals at 4-hour intervals) that I’ve maintained for the last few years, and I also scoop her litter daily, keep up with her routine care, and make sure she gets lots of attention and stimulation. I also help with my parents’ dogs when needed as well such as letting them outside, feeding them and providing water when needed, taking one of them on walks, etc.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Coon Rapids
Danielle does a wonderful job every time. We were able to go on a long vacation without ever worrying about our cats or house. She noticed our senior cat wasn’t eating much and helped us troubleshoot to get her eating again. She gained the trust of one of our very timid cats, which isn’t easy. I hope she keeps pet sitting for a while, she’s excellent!
While Kevin was watching our kitties, our automatic scooping litterbox broke with the scooper in the middle of the box. Kevin attempted to troubleshoot the box, and when it didn't work, he found a new bin for the cats to use until we came home. He even completed an extra visit to try and do troubleshooting on the box. He was also very personable during our initial visit.
Sarah once again took great care of our fur-baby Smokey! He is an aging cat with special diet and supplement needs. Sarah is great with him and we can have a great vacation without worrying about him! She even did a couple dishes I left in the sink as we were running out of the house! We will definitely rebook with her again.

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.

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 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.
