About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
“Macy was great! With laylah having a new medication that had to be administered at not idea times, I was worried it would be difficult having a sitter that could make it work. Macy was able to with ease and helped me not be so worried about it. She was nice and professional and laylah warmed up to her as soon as she met her. Would recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and animals ever since I've been a child. I currently dog sit and walk 2 dogs and have been doing so for over 2 years. Willing to watch more than just dogs, meow, cats need care too. If your furry friend just needs a walk,or you need to go out of town and they require more care,I have you covered from the comfort of your pets home. I currently work part-time as a walker and care taker for two lovely dogs now. My schedule is open enough for time for your fur baby as well. I would be caring for your baby in the comforts of your home, however if friendly I do have a big lab that would enjoy a play date!
About: I bred and raised miniature schnauzers for three years. I’ve had a miniature schnauzer in my life from an early age. Dogs are not just part of my life they are my family. I have many years experience with horses as well from boarding to training. Animals are my passion. I’m a stay at home mom that homeschools. I have plenty of time to spoil, exercise, and just hang out with you fury family members! We have an 8 acre farm. No fencing yet but plenty of walking trails. Your pet will be treated just like one of my own( like family).
“Tierney did a great job. She was timely with her visits. Our dog Ted was exercised fed and cared for as we hoped he would be. Pictures and reports were appreciated. We will use her in the future and recommend her to our friends and family.”
“We love Courtney, she was so sweet with the boys! Sent me some adorable photos of them and we had a quick meet and greet just a couple days before on short notice, so that was super helpful and I greatly appreciated it. I’ll definitely be booking with her again eleven the time arrives. 😊”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, horses, smaller animals, birds, and even a longhorn or two! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior cats, from barn animals to guinea pigs. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether they’re curled up on the couch or running in the pasture. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule! I have a few short trips planned throughout the summer before I go back to college in August, other than that I am there when you need me! I care for my own pets with their specific needs, my dogs go on car rides every day, baths every few weeks, my horses get fly spray, supplements, fly boots, all the extras, my cats are mostly outdoor but still get all the love when they are at the house. As for my clients home, I treat it as if it were my own, I have had to feed supplements, do special care for food, etc. So I am pretty much prepared for anything!
About: We've both taken care of dogs & cats our entire lives. Family, friends, and neighbors regularly ask for help and we are always happy to do so! We both work full-time jobs (teacher and coffee company) but are home by 3:30pm most days. We are also available to help on weekends and holidays. We have a large home with a fenced in yard. We have two fluffy friends of our own (Corby & Molly) who get along well with other animals!
“Mariah was absolutely amazing. She even took the time to make our newest addition feel loved and safe. She contacted daily with updates. Even sent pictures. Best pet sitter I've ever used”
“Christina was phenomenal and took care of Oli as if she were one of her own. She was a complete Godsend to us this Christmas season and we would not hesitate for a moment to book her again.”
About: I grew up in a household of many pets and have fostered multiple animals of my own. I have experience with the smallest puppies to the most senior dogs. I have a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages and treat each one like they are my own. Safety is my number one priority! I’m new to the app but not new to pet care! I am used to taking care of a multitude of animals and I have open availability to provide care! I am extremely comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and ages. Whether your pet needs a nice walk, a quick drop-in visit for a potty break, or their litter boxes cleaned, I’ll make sure they get the care they require!
About: I have raised my dog from 3 weeks old and saved my cat and nursed him back to health at 2 weeks and they are both doing well and are very happy!!! I am free all the time I don’t mind last minute calls and appointments. I love all animals and would take care of them like my own. Every animal deserves love. I treat them like babies honestly. I will feed them,love on them,play with them,and do every thing to make them happy. I am fine with mess and cleaning up after them and doing everything I can for them.
About: I love working with animals. I am the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. I love their pets as if they're my own. I am currently between jobs. My schedule is wide open and I look forward to hearing from you. Morning, noon, and night I got you. I am very respectful of people and their space. I do not take it lightly that you have allowed me to care for your pet in their space.
About: I have experience watching all types of doggos and kittys. Also all ages, I know the older ones take lots of care and comfort. I also have experience with larger animals like horses and cows. I do work the night shift from 10pm- 6am. Even though it’s a weird schedule I have from morning until night to let animals out and spend time with them. I have never had any issues with pet sitting and my schedule. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home because I feel that it is more comfortable and less stressful on the animals to be in their own environment when their owners are gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 480 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gateswood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gateswood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
