“Logan is fantastic! I have a very senior dog and two rescues who get nervous around new people, but they have warmed up very quickly to her. I have an upcoming out of state trip that I have booked with her because I didn't want to board my babies, and having her sit them at my house and knowing they'll be okay gives me so much peace of mind.”

About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends since 2014, most often as a sitting while the owners are out of town. I work 32 hours a week as a nanny and have a split schedule; this will allow me to visit your pets during breaks between work shifts in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. I am available to stay overnight as well. I love caring for my pet Rex. I love to give him treats, toys, take him on walks, etc. Anything to keep him feeling engaged and enriched. I am very mindful of his behavior and have learned what he needs based on how he acts. I will pay this much attention to detail with your pets!

“This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.”

“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She was reliable, took our dog out exactly when requested, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We especially appreciated the photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: I treat every dog like my own- prioritizing safety, consistency, and lots of love. Whether it’s a quick drop walk or extended sitting, I pay attention to your dogs unique personalities and needs. You’ll get dependable service, clear communication, and a happy, well cared for pup every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be flexible, attentive, and available throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. I’m available anytime and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs, including early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated like part of my daily life, getting plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care for each pet in the comfort of their home, adjusting my routine based on the service that you book. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter cleaning, and spend quality time with your pet- whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For dogs walking, I ensure safe, engaging walks tailored to your dogs energy level, followed by water and a quick check in before I leave. For pet sitting or extended stays, I maintain your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, exercise, medication(if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have 3 years of experience working in an animal shelter, where I was lucky enough to care for animals of all kinds. I am familiar with the necessary care needed for pets of all ages, from baby to senior. I am practiced in giving medication and basic grooming/ maintenance, as well as having worked with trainers in the past though I am not credentialed. Due to my history, I am also experienced working with animals with behavioural issues and am not intimidated by the size of a pet. I am currently between jobs and, therefore, am able to move around my schedule at will. I have a reliable form of transportation that allows me to be wherever you need me to be when you need me to be there. My apartment is not large enough, nor would the complex allow me to, house animals not already on my lease, but I am physically capable of taking dogs out multiple times per day on walks (duration depends on the heat). I play with my own animals multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes each, so rest assured your cats will also get the exercise they deserve. I will go above and beyond for your pets simply because I believe they deserve it.

About: Hi! My name is Gracie I am in college at Texas Woman’s University here in Denton, TX. I have been pet sitting since I was about 13 years old. I enjoy getting to know pets and animals while also taking care of them and making sure they are safe. I have pets of my own back home so i know what it’s like to have fur babies and trusting someone to care for them. If in need of a sitter please message me to schedule! I am a current student and athlete at Texas Woman’s university, but i have time between classes and during the evening and week nights to walk, check in, and take care of pets. I personally live in an apartment so at my home it is smaller. But at a clients home I will follow instructions specifically and check in on the pets making sure they are well fed, hydrated, and if they are in need of any care or just some scratches and petting!

About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give.

Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.

About: I have been pet sitting for family friends since I was 10 years old. I love getting to spend time with dogs and I will make sure that they get the same care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a student and looking for an extra way to earn cash for the summer so my schedule is open! I will be out of town June 9-30. I am currently not accepting pets in my apartment because there is a no pet policy. I’m looking into changing this, but for the meantime I can’t have pets in my apartment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gainesville on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gainesville. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Gainesville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
