“Rachel was great!!! She took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and let us know how the pups were doing each day. She was also very flexible, we had a slight change of plan on the last day of our trip and she was easy to get ahold of and was able to help with what we needed last minute. I will definitely hire Rachel again!”
“Issabella did a great job stopping in to care for our cat while we were out of town. She even brought a toy with her and the videos of our cat Doug seemed so happy. Grateful for Issabella!”
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, and fish for years. I love taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes.

I can crate your dog in home if you’d like after walks or drop in visits. I always make sure your fur baby has access to water at all times and food as instructed by the owners.
About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of many different kinds of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds) over the course of my life. I have worked with young and senior pets and feel comfortable with specialized care if needed. I am currently in the process of changing careers. This means that I have lots of time to play and spend time with your fur baby. I have taken care of many different pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds) in other people's homes. I will always respect your space and focus all my attention on your pet. While I am with your pet, their safety and well being are my number 1 priority so you can be at ease knowing they are well taken care of.
“Steve did a quick drop-in for our mini siberian, was quick with updates and since this is our first drop-in with Steve, he made sure to keep it professional and did amazing with our dog! She was very happy to meet a new friend. He even stayed a little longer with her. Overall, she was happy meeting Steve!”
“Synthia was a lifesaver as our typical dog sitter (my mom) was unable to watch our doggies for us while we went on vacation. She got back to me very quickly when I sent an inquiry about watching our fur babies. She came to meet us and get familiar with our needs. Her daily reports were very thorough and prompt. She really put our minds at ease while we were out of state knowing they were being well taken care of! You can tell she loves animals and cares about meeting our needs. 10/10 recommend Synthia! She's a real sweetheart.”
About: I am a life-long dog owner and have had the joy of owning two dogs throughout my life: a perfect golden retriever who lived to be 15 and a wonderful terrier who is currently 6. I am also currently a law student at NYU and will be graduating in May. Thank you for considering me to spend time with your pet! I am available all day on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, except for when I'm traveling on select weekends. I am generally available 9am to 9pm for walks, depending on the distance from my home. I have experience walking my large (80 lb) golden retriever. He enjoyed chasing squirrels, pulling on his leash, and running to greet other dogs - so I have seen it all, and I am confident I can care for your pet on a walk! My family currently has a terrier, so I also love a small dog!

I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Declan was sooooo amazing! I went on a 7-day trip and he stopped in to visit my cat Ty everyday! I always got lots of updates on his health and conformation that he got his meds. Not to mention all the cute photos! His updates really took the stress off of leaving my cuddly kitty home alone because I knew he was being taken care of. Declan is amazing!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 242 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gaston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gaston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gaston. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
