“Heather was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time every day and ensured my cat baby had food and water. She even checked her litter and cleaned up when my cat threw up. I was so pleased with her! She also left me a lovely card that I so much appreciated. I would definitely work with Heather again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who has undergone back surgery, which has taught me the importance of patience, careful handling, medication routines, mobility considerations, and paying close attention to changes in behavior. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels and will always treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets.

I’m also comfortable using crates when needed and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions you provide.
“Hilary was absolutely lovely! My kitties really took to her and she played with them everyday. I am quite particular and left a literal book of instructions, which she followed to a T. I am very very pleased with her service and would trust her completely with my babies again :D she truly does go above and beyond”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs that have hearing, vision, and temperament problems. I’ve never had an issue not being able to walk a dog. And if you haven’t ordered dog, I will have no issue helping the dog get stepped or into a car if needed. I love all dogs and I personally own a large dog and a medium sized dog. I’m currently work full-time so I won’t be completely available all the time, but I’ll make time for your pups. But I’m a pretty flexible person. I don’t offer for the animals to be kept at my house. If I were to have a dog stay at my home or if I had to go to a clients home, I would just make sure to have all of my things together as well as ground rules with the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about four years, and owned a cat for two. I’m looking for more formal experience. I love fur babies and have dog sat up to four dogs from one home. Older dogs are welcomed too! Pet sitting is perfect for my schedule as a full time undergraduate student. Most opportunities are over the weekend and walking during period of the day I don’t have class; allowing me to work through out with a manageable schedule. I clean after the animals, cuddle with them, and play in and outdoors. I find myself caring for them similarly to the way I care for my plants at home by talking positivity to them casually through out the day. I also ask a lot of questions to ensure that life with me isn’t too different from life with their owners.

Had a great meet and greet with Madison! I appreciate that she came over to learn their routines and where everything is ahead of any future trips. My chatty girl came right out to play, while my shy gent observed from his safe little corner. They'll be in good hands!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gastonia is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.

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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 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.
