“We had not left our cat with a cat sitter for well over a year. Courtney made sure to give him attention and pets during her visits. She also made sure that packages and newspapers were brought in the house. Thank you Courtney!”
“Lauren is a great communicator. I always love the pictures she sends and the thoughtful check-ins she writes. She is always easy to work with and I really appreciate her!!”
“Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Alexis was a great care taker for our dachshund over the weekend! She was very open and receptive to any specific requests we had, shared pictures and videos. Overall our dog appeared to enjoy the time with her and we would definitely reach out again the next time we are out of town.”
“Everything went super smoothly! I would highly recommend Celine, she took the time to ask questions and get to know our pups and was very helpful. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Joel provided drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation and if we could give him 10 stars out of 5 we would. He is prompt, caring, follows up very quickly with availability and answering questions, and we recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. His flexibility helped us a ton as our request was last minute and we felt a little scattered with our plans. We felt very comfortable, our new kitten loved him and he is extremely knowledgeable! Also, he met with us prior to watching Pearl and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!!”
“Molly was amazing! Upon doing meet and greet you could tell she was professional and reliable. She was quick to communicate and great with sending updates. You could tell she really cares about your pets. Will definitely book with Molly again!”
“Respectful and Professional, got along great with my precious creature. Followed instructions perfectly, and reached out when needed. Could stand to be more assertive w/ dogs sometimes, but still a great sitter. 10/10 would book again :)”
“Brittany was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She treated Astro and Cocoa with lots of love and playfulness, and sent lots of pictures! Highly recommended!”
“She stopped by for a check in on my dogs while we were out of town. My dogs absolutely loved her, she was very responsive on needs that needed to happen for my dogs and even sent pictures of them! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dogs taken care of!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katelyn. Not only did she accept a very last minute drop in request— but she went above and beyond every time she was at my home. My cats warmed up to her and by the appearance of all the drop in photos they really enjoyed her company. She was reliable and thorough with her check ins which I really appreciate while being away. Beyond that, she took care of my trash and my dishes as well, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to book with her again in the future!”
“Our puppy loves Isabella! She goes above and beyond when visiting Rocky, playing with him, and taking him for a walk. We definitely recommend Isabella and will continue to use her service in the future.”
“Alexis made a personal visit to meet my cats ahead of time. They connected with her immediately, and they were also calm and relaxed when I got home. They clearly felt safe in her care, and I will definitely try to book her in the future.”
“Anthony has been checking on my dog Cooper while I’m at work for about two weeks. He is great and very knowledgeable with dogs. He makes sure Cooper lets out some energy and takes him on walks. Highly recommend his business.”
“Altagracia did a wonderful job in connecting with my dog, Micky, and caring for him through drop-in visits. She was professional, communicative, and I know Micky felt the love! I couldn’t have been more pleased with her work. Thanks! Lisa”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gates Mills on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gates Mills. 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 Gates Mills 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 Gates Mills. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
