About: I have been a dog owner since 2013. I have experience in caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I currently own 3 pets, Calypso, Khaleesi, and Luna are the light of my life. So, I completely understand how important your pets are to you and I will treat your pets with as much love as I give my own. I work from home so I have flexible scheduling during the day. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets needs! Plenty of walks, play time, and love! Safety is my priority! I have a dogs myself that are extremely lovable with other dogs and humans! We have a backyard for plenty of play time and a quiet safe neighborhood for walks.
“Lauren has taken care of my cat several times and she is always amazing! During my last trip, my cat finished 2 days worth of food in less than 24 hours and Lauren went to my house to give my cat more food on a day she wasn't even scheduled. She's so flexible and responsive and my cat loves her!”
“We were apprehensive about having a stranger in our home when we weren’t home. But we needed an extra option for pet care when we go away. My neighbor suggested Rover. Lauren was our first choice and we couldn’t be happier. We love that she lives close by and has a few dogs herself. She knew what my dog needed. Even when our Rizzo had some anxiety. Lauren instinctively gave the care and love our dog needed. We are grateful for this experience with Lauren and she is officially our new dog sitter.”
“Shelly is an absolute amazing petsitter! She is always there right on time and let’s us know how our pets are doing. She is very dependable and caring. It is so reassuring to know they are receiving love and care which we are out of town!!”
About: I've always taken care of animals since I was born. Animals have always loved me and family and friends have asked me to watch their animals time and again. I can take care of pets up any day of the week but from Thursday to Sunday I work overnight so I would have to leave around 9:30pm I have 2 dogs and 1 cat who are extremely friendly and a fully fenced yard thats about a quarter achre. I've consistently been the one to take care of, feed, and clean up after my animals for over 10 years.
“Amber was great with my kiddos! I really appreciated the time she spent with them. It brings such a great peace of mind knowing someone is taking care of your fur babies while you’re away. Thanks Amber!! ?”
“We were in a bit of a jam and Cyntia came through in a big way! Our travel plans were unexpectedly extended an extra day and had no one to watch our two dogs. Cyntia was available on short notice and was so caring and attentive to our dogs happiness! We will definitely be a repeat a customer!”
“We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Brooke. We knew immediately upon meeting her that our pups were gonna be in good hands. I appreciated the updates after every visit and the pictures were a great bonus! We will definitely use Rover AND Brooke again!”

About: Hello! I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. Recently my family has also added lizards and ferrets, and I help with their feeding, cleaning, and general care. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility for eight months, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, making sure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable while their owners were away. I’m very attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. 🐾 I am currently working part-time going to school. I always try to look at my schedule before agreeing to anything and always try to plan around my schedule when agreeing to things. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention. I also keep their space clean, follow any specific instructions the owner provides, and make sure the pets are safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own pets.
About: I used to dogsit when I lived in LA and that’s when I fell in love with the “pitbull” breed. My dogs are my children and I will treat yours just the same. I work fully remote and have a very flexible schedule. My morning usually consists of walking/running my dogs 2 miles and then preparing for the day. I have a fenced in yard and monitor my dogs outside they are not allowed out alone. This helps prevent eating things they should not and any escapes. I can care for your dogs the same or whatever way you prefer.
About: I carefully, lovingly, respectfully and attentively look after pets in their own homes around the Cleveland, Splendora, New Caney, Montgomery & Conroe areas. I am now booking up to December 15 2026. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am an Australian who lives in Cleveland, Texas (so pets will get to hear my strange accent. When I house sit, I can stay through the day if needed or come and go at certain agreed times, whatever fits in with the pet /home needs. I may stay overnight with negotiations to give your pets the level of companionship that they are accustomed to. I am known to be honest, upfront, attentive, careful and respectful steward of your home. My other “job” is as a child-minder (nanny/babysitter). I look after houses and people with or without pets depending on the situation. I can do extra tasks by agreement such as bring in or put out the waste bin, clean out any stale items in the fridge, wash, fold put away linen and towels, vacuum, mop dust after pet hair and activities, water plants, sweep the porch and keep the home looking occupied and secure. Happy to negotiate a full range of home care tasks as needed. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine around my own home duties. My children are grown, 19 and 22 year old college students, who continue to live with their parents and husband works from home office. My day to day routine is fairly flexible at this stage of my life. All my extended family live in Melbourne Australia and I visit them a few weeks at a time a few weeks a year. Pet sitting, is my new hobby, pays part of my airfares. In me you will find an attentive pet sitter who treats the family home and pets like my own. I care for pets in their own home with total care and respect. When I care for your pet, I give upmost care and personalized attention.
“Robert responded quickly when we had to be away for the day at the last minute. He’s a great communicator, showed up in time and did exactly what we needed him to do. Definitely recommend and would rehire if we ever need him again.”
About: I have been working with animals my whole life. I've grown up in vet clinics and pet stores since I was a little girl and I’m also a former Vet Tech; now Groomer. I am comfortable with any type of dog no matter the complication; whether they are blind, deaf, or on medication. My passion for animals has inspired me to open my own in-home dog boarding business. I will treat your animal(s) the same as my fur-baby, with nothing but kindness, love and respect. So if you would like your animal(s) to get the time, love, and care that they always deserve, please feel free to contact me at anytime. I am very open with schedules and please ask me any questions you may have. Please note: Drop-off times and pick-up times are strict! We do understand things can happen and cause you to be running behind. If this is to happen, please give us a heads up as soon as possible, as we sitters do work our personal schedules around your drop-off & pick-up times. Thank you 🙂 HOURS: 8AM - 5:30PM I’m available all week and we are homebodies so your babies will always have someone home with them, unless I have a birthday party or errands. We don’t leave pups alone for more than 2 hrs, unless I have spoken to you about what we’re needing to do. DAYCARE HOURS: 8AM-5:30PM I have a friendly chocolate lab that loves to make new friends! Your pups will never be left alone outside, and we send photo/video updates to keep your mind at ease. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but it is not required. I let everyone out for potty breaks every 3 hrs unless your baby requires more frequent breaks. If a dog needs to be separated we can easily accommodate that while still giving them the same amount of attention as the others.
About: I stand out because I have real, hands-on experience with all kinds of pets. I have six pets of my own (three dogs and three cats) that I’ve cared for since they were babies, so I truly understand daily pet care, routines, and responsibility. I’ve also been dog sitting for neighbors since I was 13, which has given me years of experience with different personalities and needs. I’ve worked with mean dogs, anxious dogs, and super energetic dogs, so I know how to stay calm, patient, and adjust my approach to each animal. Right now, I’m caring for my elderly blue heeler, so I’m especially comfortable with senior care, including slower walks, medications, and extra attention. I also have experience caring for puppies and helping them adjust to routines. Overall, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my schedule. I’m a full-time college student in the Price College of Business at OU, and my classes usually end in the early afternoon, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care during the day. I also teach cheer and tumbling lessons part-time, but those are scheduled and flexible, so I’m able to plan around them. Because of this, I have consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m very organized with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it and fit it naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine the same. I carefully follow all instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secure and that pets are supervised and safe at all times. I respect the home by keeping everything clean and organized, and I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or senior pets, and adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat both pets and homes with care and respect, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gary on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
