Brandi was amazing with my two cats!! She is so professional and caring. Very detail oriented. She sends pics and updates with every drop in!!! Using her again next week for a few days over the holiday. She is a super star! I didn't worry one bit with her watching them. She made my vacation worry free so we could relax and enjoy time away. Five star and can’t say enough about her. If you want someone who really cares and will take great care of your pets, schedule with Brandi.

Joy took excellent care of my cat Truffles. I was nervous about leaving her for so long. Truffles requires daily medication. She's a rescue, and I work from home so I thought she'd be lonely. Joy sent photos and updates, which I appreciated. She took excellent care of Truffles, and even watered my plants! Thank you, Joy!

Ali is wonderful with our cats. She keeps us informed if things happen to delay her arrival, and she sends great photos of the cats that make clear how much they love seeing her. Ali is the best!

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for many years. I have two wonderful dogs Kona and Beans, both over the age of 10! Have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me! Can move around my schedule for whenever your pet needs! Available for after work drop ins as well! Please reach out if you need a sitter! Love playing in the yard with dogs, especially throwing the ball and playing fetch. Always make sure they have plenty of water afterwords. As well as lots of pets and belly rubs!

My cat Daisy and I had another fantastic experience with Jenny! She worked her magic on her drop in visits to care for Daisy while I was away and my typically stranger shy kitty was happy to come out to visit with her. Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.

About: 🐾 Hello, pet parents! 🐾 I’m new to Rover and excited to meet some amazing furry friends! To celebrate, I’m offering your first drop-in visit FREE for my first 5 clients. Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to earn your trust. Message me to claim your free visit before all 5 spots are gone! 🐶🐱❤️ What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I’ve been responsible for pets since childhood and have cared for animals through all life stages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. I have experience giving medication, following detailed care instructions, and providing individualized attention. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide reliable care, consistent attention, and peace of mind while you’re away. I am also a mom of two children and three fur babies, so caring for a busy, loving household is part of my daily life. I offer a free meet and greet so you and your pets can feel comfortable before booking. I will always treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m available for morning visits from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, a midday lunch visit, and evening visits from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. My schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day while you’re away. I provide care that is personalized to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that pets feel most secure when their normal routines are maintained, so I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, playtime, enrichment, and daily habits. During drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, companionship, and positive interaction while you’re away, along with updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.

Stacie was a lifesaver! She was able to let my dogs out very last minute during a family emergency. She was attentive and gave them plenty of time to potty!

About: I have been dog sitting and caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I have a huge passion for animals and have been volunteering at my local humane society for the past few years. I have animals of my own and am actually about to add a new puppy to my pet family! I am willing to walk, bathe, and feed your animals and make sure they get the care they need while you’re away! I am actually a full time college student and am looking to give pet care in between my classes during the week. I would be available on T/Th all day. On M/W/F I am available anytime after 12pm to come care for your pets. I am looking to be doing home visits rather than dog boarding because I am currently living in an apartment and do not have the space needed to provide quality care for your pets. I am willing to do drop in visits and in the past am used to doing that type of care for my clients.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

This was Jenee’s first time sitting for us and everything went great! She gave us super daily updates on each of our kitty boys and even cleaned up a plant they knocked over. We really appreciated her help and professionalism with our little guys and will be happy to ask her to cat-sit again.

About: At 17 years old I worked at a professional pet care industry that included training, daycamp, boarding and grooming. From there I went to the very same company’s dog training academy where I graduated at top of my class. After, that very same company hired me on to be a Personal Trainer at their facility where I worked for about 2 years. I am a certified professional dog trainer that can add my services into the care you are looking for! I have full availability. Drop in visits and/or walks will work better with my specific scheduled but I can do other options with enough notice. This question is very depending on if you are interested in training services. If you are, it will be a very structured, bond building, and teaching stay. For regular care, I think play and mental stimulation is important for a dog when the owners are out of town and they have no outlet for energy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Gard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 935 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gard. 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 Gard. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
