About: Hi! I’m Esme, a huge animal lover and proud pet parent. I have a Mini American Shepherd named Kita, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. While I adore dogs, I’m also a big cat lover! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to get to know them. From energetic pups to shy kitties, my goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and become their new bestie! 🐾💕 Animals are already a huge part of my life! As a dog mom to my Mini American Shepherd, Kita, pet care is built into my daily routine. My days are filled with walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like work and more like something I enjoy. Whether it’s a dog who loves adventure or a cat who just wants a quiet companion, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they’re familiar with, so I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets love long walks and play sessions, while others prefer cuddles on the couch or a quiet companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“I had the pleasure of having Skyler drop in to care for my baby girl and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Skyler was punctual, friendly, gave isla plenty of attention, and followed all the instructions I provided. I loved receiving regular updates and photos during the visit, which really put my mind at ease. Skyler went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking them again for future visits. Highly recommended!”
“100/10 Morgan is amazing! If you're looking for a new sitter, LOOK NO FURHTER. Morgan was punctual, super helpful, and extremely sweet with the fur babies. The girls immediately fell in love with Morgan, and I knew they were gonna be happy any time she's around. Morgan is literally the best. Thank you so so so much for your help. ❤️”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from cats, dogs, and birds to cows and farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to truly understand their behavior and emotions. Animals naturally trust me, and I build a calm, safe connection with every pet I meet. I also have experience caring for senior pets and helping shy animals feel comfortable. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving love, your pet will feel at home with me. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I always make time for walks and pet visits, both on weekdays and weekends. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I often plan my days around it. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me — it’s a relaxing and rewarding part of my routine. When I care for pets, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper meals, playtime, and enough outdoor time if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they need extra energy, gentle patience, or quiet company. If needed I will keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
“As any dog parent knows getting your dog to eat when your gone is always as struggle for some. Rollo my 195 lb baby boy was eating at least once a day with Claudia stopping by which is alot compared to others. We will be booking with Claudia again our pup really enjoys her company and the pictures and updates are always bringing a smile to our faces.”
About: I've had pets since I was a kid of all sorts and I love getting to know the personality of each animal. Just like people, we need to learn each animal the same way. It's a goal of my life to understand them as best as I can to give them the best life possible. Animals under my care will be comfortable, loved on, and safe. I work from home, so I have all day to care for your pet's food, bathroom, and loving needs. I have no days scheduled away from the house on a weekly basis. Whether it's a walk or house sitting, I want to ensure you're comfortable with the care and decisions made to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and satisfied! I'm not currently accepting boarding, as I'm renting in a home with a smaller dog and an older dog, I am very comfortable in the suburban environment. I enjoy talking to your pets and including them in my day. Making them feel seen and paid attention to even during days when I have work to do! I attempt to fulfill scratch requests whenever I can and love going out of my way to give some unexpected attention when they don't expect it. No one wants a sitter that solely fills the 'needs' without actively offering the 'wants' as well!
“Shari is wonderful! She left us great report cards and pictures while we were away! She was very attentive to our kitty KK! Highly recommend her! We will definitely book Shari again! Thank you 😊”
“I was very anxious about leaving town for a few days and leaving my 3 cats, but Sherry did such a wonderful job taking care of them. She was very professional and cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Jonathon is the best! He takes care of our 5 pets wonderfully. He’s great at keeping up with all of the different medicines they take every day and the needs they have.”
“Laurie was very kind and flexible when I had to make a last minute change. She sent plenty of photos and left comments to make sure I knew how my doggo was doing! Will book again!”
“Olivia was a new Rover for us and absolutely went above and beyond our expectations! She absolutely takes care of our animals like they are her own which is truly appreciated!”
About: I may be new to pet sitting professionally, but I’ve spent years living with and caring for animals. I lived with a dog for over two years and grew up in a home with cats. Feeding, cleaning, playing, and understanding their behavior came naturally. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I’m excited to bring that love and care to your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to make time for your pet. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate last-minute requests as well! I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pet in their familiar environment. I can take them for walks, feed them, spend quality time, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I always aim to respect your space and follow any specific routines or instructions.

Lauren, took care of my 3 cats. I didn’t see the difference between her and I. She relived their’s and mine’s stress. She fallowed the instructions, played with them and cleaned more than I expected. Lauren, is a beautiful person in and out and a great “mommy” for our pets. Thank you Lauren. We love you and appreciate your time and dedication.
Steve has been taking care of our cats whenever we travel over the past year, and he’s been amazing. During our recent two-week trip overseas, he checked on them every day and sent us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were so far away. Both of our cats adore him—even our shy one lets him pet her! We couldn’t recommend him more!
Skyler saved our holiday by being available to step in last minute! We had another sitter that had to cancel and I was so grateful she was able to schedule a same day meet and greet and accommodate our request. She took excellent care of our senior kitty and our home. She is very professional and quick to respond. We hope to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gateway on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,114 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gateway. 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 Gateway. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
