“Morgan was amazing with my dog Alli!!! She helped us out last minute, sent us a ton of pictures and updates on their visits, and took such good care of Alli! We’ll definitely use her again!!”
“To say we were happy with Ruth would be an understatement. Ruth took care of our cat like it was her own. The peace of mind that comes from a compassionate and qualified person caring for your pet is immeasurable. We highly recommend her. ❤️”
About: As a dog owner myself, I’ve had the joy of a furry companion by my side for many years. Additionally, I was a dog bather throughout college and have experience with an assortment of breeds. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them the chance to get adequate exercise and socialization, especially in Alaskas dark months. I hope that we can find a good fit! I am currently working full time, so most walks and visits will be in the afternoons and evenings! Most weekends are fairly flexible. I do have a young child, so there are some limitations with certain availability. Safety is key and all pets deserve to feel comfortable in their own home without feeling like a stranger is infringing on their space. I will help gauge the unique needs for your individual pet and take your instructions as the owner to make them as at ease as possible.
“Jennifer went above & beyond! She’s very sweet & bubbly, also professional & kind. She adapted to all my crazy-cat-lady antics & took care of my cat so well! She even cleaned up after a surprise bird massacre…”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! My very first job was taking care of my neighbor’s dog for a year, and I absolutely loved her! That experience made me realize how much joy caring for animals brings me. Now, I’m also a proud dog mom to my little poodle, Benny! I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I also work in healthcare, which has taught me to be patient, responsible, caring, and attentive to others’ needs. I treat every pet with the same love, kindness, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away!🫂 I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend some of my free time caring for your furry family members! I’m happy to arrange visits, walks, or pet sitting based on my availability. I believe every pet deserves plenty of love, attention, and quality time, and I always make sure I can fully dedicate myself to their care! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands!🫂💗
About: I volunteer at the local shelter (AARF) every weekend and I grew up with multiple dogs! Animals are my absolute favorite and I am pretty versatile. I’m active duty but im free anytime after work (5pm) and im always free on the weekends! Im pretty good at fitting people/work into my schedule. I live in the barracks so normally I wouldn’t have animals come over to my place, but I always make sure my clients pets have a great experience and try and give them the most engaging/stimulating experience possible!
About: Ready to get those paws moving! As an Anchorage local, I know how important it is for our dogs to get fresh air and exercise, regardless of the weather. I specialize in high-energy walks to help burn off those "zoomies" so you can come home to a calm, happy pup. I’m punctual, active, and dedicated to making sure your dog has a safe and fun adventure every time I grab the leash. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to be as a family.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Morgan and her kids did such a wonderful job with my cautious yet loving kitty Oscar. He was so standoffish but she did not give up and her and her family was able to give the love and attention that my kitty needed. She was never late, gave him his meds perfectly, sent updates and pics, was super patient and loving, and just overall an absolute dream of a caretaker I will book her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gateway is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $37 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.

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.

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.
