“Hailey has completed several drop in visits for our three dogs and she has been exceptional. She is very responsive and always super flexible and accommodating to changes in requests and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“I really appreciated Mary Jo. My boys obviously looked forward to seeing her each day. She also was very attentive to my request on their quirks and also was observant of things that just seemed out of place, which my boys are very capable of creating, and addressed them. She's a joy and I look forward to using her again.”

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've taken care of a variety of different animals in 12 years. I adapt well and learn fast to accommodate each pets unique personality and routine. I'm experienced in giving medications and supplements, I know the heimlich for cats, dogs and rabbits. I also offer overnight stays in your home, grooming, dog walking and cat walking to ensure your pets get the exact care and exercise they need while you are away I'm available all week 8am to 2pm and i am available full time on weekends my schedule is flexible and I may be available outside of these hours I understand routines are important, so I strictly follow your pets specific diet and feeding schedule. I make time for interactive play to keep them active and happy. Because of my experience with health care and medications, I closely monitor their well-being so they stay safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I have a wide understanding of care for pets! I have cared for pets through military deployments, vacations, emergencies… I’m experienced with different breeds and proper ways to approach a new animal that is nervous or anxious. I currently homeschool my kids and work from home running my own party rental business, I have plenty of flexibility and time to help even on short notice. I have reliable transportation with space to cater to your dog and their supplies. I have a little over an acre of open landscaped yard for a dog to run and play. Our backyard is not fenced in so I would keep them on a leash unless advised by the owner that it’s safe to do otherwise. We have a wonderful neighborhood to go for walks in if you would like them to. We have space to safely and warmly kennel dogs inside our home at night and let them run and play during the day! I only leave the house for brief periods, so they wouldn’t be left alone for long, if at all. We have one small dog (min pin) who would be kept separate unless we are given permission to let them play! Our min pin is a nervous breed, but she grew up with a Labrador and German Shepard happily. She just needs to warm up.
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun. Never had direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gateway is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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. 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 November 2026, there are 226 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gateway. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
