“Taylor was absolutely AMAZING! It was our first time going out of town so we were particularly nervous how our cat would take it. Taylor put our minds at ease. She was punctual, professional, kind, and is clearly passionate about her work with animals. Shes an absolute gem! We will definitely use Taylor next time we go out of town. Thank you Taylor!!!”
About: I grew up caring for dogs and have two of my own, Ruby and Hazel, who taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding different personalities. Because of them, I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to managing feeding schedules, giving plenty of playtime, and keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m used to working with both puppies and older dogs who may need a little extra support. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and habits so owners feel confident that their pets are understood and cared for. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. I always keep owners updated, share photos, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my two dogs, Ruby and Hazel. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them lots of attention throughout the day. Adding walks or drop-ins fits naturally into my schedule, and I make sure I have enough time set aside so every dog gets proper care without feeling rushed. On a weekly basis, I plan around the pets I’m responsible for, whether that means regular walks, check-ins, or longer stays. I’m consistent, reliable, and comfortable building a routine that keeps each dog happy and supported. When I’m caring for pets in my home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and safe. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel at ease. I keep a clean space, monitor them closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection, just like Ruby and Hazel do every day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect the owner’s rules and the dog’s normal routine. I make sure feeding times, walk schedules, and any training habits stay consistent. I give regular updates, and make sure the dog feels secure in a familiar environment. My goal in both settings is to keep each pet happy, calm, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
About: Hi! My name is Gayane, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home with two wonderful rescue cats, and throughout my life I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience fostering, rehabilitating, and helping homeless and abandoned animals find safe and loving homes. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. My own rescue cats are part of my everyday life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure that every pet receives the attention, affection, and consistency they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when their routines are respected and they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are doing well. Having cared for rescue animals and foster pets, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level. I always take the time to build trust and make sure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and my current living situation doesn’t allow for me to own my own, so I’d love to spend time loving on yours! Ive watched friends, families, and neighbors dogs for many years. I work from home and have split custody of my kids so I have lots of downtime to spend with your doggie family. Would love a family or solo walk. In my home I have designated areas for the cats if your animal isn’t cat friendly. In clients homes I am respectful and trustful with boundaries in regards to animal and human belongings.

“Daniel did a great job taking care of my dogs this weekend! He was reliable, professional, and clearly knows how to handle animals. My neighbors even mentioned how respectful and attentive he was with the dogs. Everything went smoothly, and I’ll be booking with him again. Highly recommend.”
“I wish I could give higher than a 5 star rating because Nikki truly deserves it! She went above and beyond in every single way to take the best care of my kitty while I was away. It was especially comforting to me because of the special needs my senior baby has. Nikki sent many pictures and videos for each check in (not just a one-and-done, get out as quick as you can type). You can tell that she truly cares about animals and is just an all around good human. I cannot say enough nice things about her, as her service was honestly top tier. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She did an amazing job. 🐈⬛❤️”
“Our cat couldn't get more attention and care. He's very social and loves attention, amd she gave it! Proof was in the amazing pictures we received. Battlecat is super special and our fur baby, so this means a lot. Its heartbreaking to leave him, but when we do, we know he is treated so well by MacKenna. ❤️”
“Camille was great with my two boys and very understanding when we had to delay our trip due to illness. Will be booking her again soon as I can tell my kitties loved her company!”
About: I’ve worked at Wags and Wiggles daycare/boarding and cared for my own dog through her seniorhood. I’ve puppy sat for lots of friends and family members as well as having Dog Dates when those same people just need a moment! I’m a part-time and gig worker so I have plenty of time to give your pups the love and care they deserve! Additionally, I work from home often enabling me to be hands on and attentive to all specific pet needs. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to YOUR dogs needs. I live right next door to a dog park and incorporate long walks into my every day, making me compatible with a more social dog. I also spend a lot of time at home reading and writing, making me great for cuddlebugs and lower energy dogs!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Galivan
We've trusted Nikki with our cat several times and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of him and sends the most amazing photos and videos, which make being away so much easier. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and feel very lucky to have found her.
Thanks to Laurie we have had another successful trip without worrying about our cat. Laurie is the best! We can always count on her to make sure Benny gets his treat each visit and has his food, water, and litter refilled. He also gets play time with Laurie each day. We also appreciate all the updates and photos Laurie sends us. Thank you Laurie! :)
Olivia saved us when we had another pet sitter cancel on us, mid-booking! She was flexible and was ok with me walking her through everything over the phone since we had already left town. She is very responsible and a great communicator, sending us lots of photos and updating us on how our pets were doing. She took excellent care of our pets and home, and we look forward to booking her for more pet care in the future!
Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.
Emma was a wonderful help caring for our two kitties while we were gone. I was nervous to leave them in the care of someone new, but she was great! She showed up when she said she would and communicated regularly. We loved seeing the photos of our kitties and updates on how they were doing. We will definitely reach out to Emma for future kitty care.

As of July 2026, there are 3,471 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Galivan. 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 Galivan. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
