“This is the first time I have used Rover and 5 stars is not enough for the great care Nicole gave Toby! She did an excellent job communicating from our first visit to the duration of our trip out of town. Loved the pictures and the updates. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Jeffery was so great with my four cats! He made sure to send me updates and pictures every day while I was out of town for thanksgiving. They loved snuggling him and he took great care of my older baby who needed daily meds. Prompt and communicative and very sweet soul!”
“Deborah was great with our dogs! She has such a kind, calm demeanor and connected right away with our dogs. She was punctual, sent lots of pictures, & provided thorough updates. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking with her again!”
About: I have cared for family dogs and pets since I was nine years old, giving me over a decade of hands-on experience with diverse routines and temperaments. Currently working in hospital patient registration, I bring a Having a strong military background has given me a sense of responsibility, strict attention to cleanliness, and a calm, observant approach to every drop-in. I respect each home's established boundaries, focus on positive engagement and basic leash manners, and always make sure your pet gets fresh water, playtime, and reliable companionship while you are away. Pet care integrates cleanly into my weekly routine during morning and early afternoon hours, as well as select weekend windows outside my scheduled hospital shifts. Because I only take on drop-in visits within a close driving radius, I am able to arrive promptly at scheduled times, dedicate full attention to your pet without rushing, and easily plan recurring weekday check-ins or weekend coverage. I work every other weekend so there are times where I’m completely off and devoted to your pet :) I provide drop-in care exclusively in your pet's home, ensuring they remain in their familiar, secure environment. My background in healthcare reinforces my strict commitment to home security: double checking locked doors, securing gates, following exact feeding instructions, and keeping feeding and litter areas thoroughly sanitized. During every visit, I send detailed check-in notes alongside clear photo updates so you always have complete peace of mind while away.
About: Have an energetic pup who needs someone who can keep up? I’d love to help! I’ve had my own dog, Dallas, since I was 10, and my family currently has three Boxers, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic dogs. I love going on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, but I’m just as happy to cuddle and relax with your pet. I’ve also regularly pet sat for four families, caring for up to three cats and two large dogs in one home, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines and needs. I love taking pictures and sending cute updates while you’re away, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a college student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule! My only set commitments are classes: Monday and Wednesday from 2:20–3:35 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:05–11:20 AM and 2:50–4:05 PM. Everything else is extracurricular and can be adjusted around pet-care needs. Fridays and weekends are completely open, and I’m generally flexible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find times that work best for both of us! I have a fully fenced in, chain-link backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play, with supervision. I don’t have a crate, but I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide about where they’re most comfortable resting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, supervise outdoor time, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
“Ashley did a great job and persevered with a sneaky, stubborn cat that resists his meds in every possible way. We are so happy to have someone who can get him his meds. Will use anytime.”
“Leanissa is great! Always leaves a lot of pictures and details about her time with Teddy. Her response time is quick. She does great with Teddy, making sure he goes potty and giving him lots of cuddles so he’s not sad when she leaves. I would highly recommend booking her!”

“Molly is amazing with our cat. We were out of town for a month and she came in and took care of our cat with such care. This was our second time using Molly to cat sit. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in middle school. For four years, I assisted in end-of-life care for a senior dog along with being a farmhand for two horses. My previous job in Florida was at an animal shelter, and consisted of feeding, cleaning, and medicating up to 40 kittens/cats/dogs a day. I am available any time, any day of the week. I’m currently job searching for a position at a shelter, so in the meantime I would love to meet your animals and make friends! I live in an apartment with my partner and two kittens. I feed them twice a day, with a capsule of Proviable split between them. They are strictly indoor kitties, and I have given them both a flea bath.
About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday
About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m passionate about animals and dedicated to providing top-quality care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to three amazing dogs, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m basically a full-time dog mom and part-time pet care superhero. My three pups rule the house and have taught me everything I know about unconditional love, playtime, and the fine art of treat distribution! I treat every pet I care for like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom and a certified veterinary technician so I am always home and available for you and your pets. I have a very open and flexible schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friend to run, play, and explore in a safe, open environment. I share my home with three of my own beloved pets, each with their own designated areas to ensure everyone’s comfort and compatibility. They’re friendly and playful, and happy to socialize if your pet enjoys company—but I always respect each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. One of my pups is a bit of a grumpy gentleman, so he has his own peaceful space to relax in, away from the action. I provide a spacious shop building for them to sleep in, with plenty of room for crates of all sizes. The space features concrete floors for easy cleaning, excellent airflow, and multiple fans to keep it cool and well-ventilated. The temperature stays comfortably cool, even during warmer days. For added peace of mind, the area is monitored with a security camera, and I personally do a nightly walk-through to check on each pet and make sure they’re safe and settled for the night. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be short on supervision, attention, or affection. Whether they’re seeking playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the love and companionship they deserve.
About: I am an outgoing medical assistant applying to physician assistant school. I love exercise so I am happy to walk your dogs. I am cpr certified and my sister is a vet tech who taught me cpr on animals such as dogs in case of an emergency. My fiancé and I own 3 dogs and they are super friendly. We have trained them to be calm and also crate trained. I love playing and providing constant care to all dogs and making sure all their needs are met.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, having grown up on a hobby farm and competed in cat, horse, goat, chicken (and more) showmanship in 4H. My zoo is much smaller now, with two dogs and three cats! I love meeting new furry kiddos, and am always up for a walk, a game of fetch, or giving a good chin scratch. ☺️ Since I work part time, I have lots of availability to care for your pet! My own pups get daily exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities, and I’m happy to provide your pup with the same when you’re busy! On walks and drop in’s, it’s my goal to get as much zoomies and energy out as possible in the time we have - but I know some pups take time to warm up to new carers. I’m happy to take the time your pup needs to trust me, so our next visit is even more fun!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember because I love it! I’ve grown up around animals and know how important they are to people. I look at my pets as family, and love them deeply. I own one dog and fight the urge to get more everyday!! I love excersive and since my dog, Oaklee, is a bird dog and a brittany, he needs a lot of it. With my personal experience I can handle the laziest kitty cat to the craziest, most high energy, dog. You name it, I can love it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gaston
Had her come check in on my sweet orange kitty for a few days around Christmas, she was outstanding! Adrianna went above and beyond and my normally timid cat was extremely comfortable and happy with her. She checked in twice a day and gave him everything he needed and more. An added bonus was that she also did some dishes that were left in the sink! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I highly recommend her!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gaston is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,077 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gaston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
