“Esme was willing to watch our cat, Eevee, last-minute during a holiday weekend, and she did a great job! Eevee got lots of pets and playtime in, and we enjoyed looking at the pictures Esme took. We were camping pretty far out in the mountains with spotty signal, so it was comforting to know Eevee was in good hands and having fun. Thank you!!”
“Steve has always been a pleasure to work with! We know he takes great care of our pups when he drops in to check on them and also does a great job of communicating what happened during his visit as well as in the lead up to a visit to make sure everything is in order. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay did a great job with my dog and 2 cats! They all loved her and she did a wonderful job giving them love and plenty of pets and play during her stop in visits.”
“Stella seems happy and no issues with the apartment. Jonathon saved me after my previous sitter ended up having to cancel, so thanks for the quick responses and taking good care of Stella”
“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!”
“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 😊”
About: I want to work with animals full time and hopefully build strong connections and business relationships! I've been a pet owner for my whole life and have always enjoyed every bit of it. Even the not so glamorous parts! I love animals and I will make sure that your furry family members are taken care of! I'm available every day of the week to make sure that your furry friends have all of their needs taken care of whether it be going for a walk or just keeping them company! I will make sure that all of your pets are treated well and taken care of to the best of my abilities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets at home and I hope that I can provide a sense of safety and peace of mind while you are away!
“Highly recommend Alexandra! She is not only extremely kind and flexible, but she finds ways to go above and beyond in each visit. She has help make my Willow so confident with strangers with her consistent patience and gentle demeanor. Alexandra also communicates very promptly and throughly. Can’t wait to have her help out again!”
“Emilee was so good with my senior dog, and my cat who demanded her attention 😃 (she was booked to walk the dog). I will definitely ask her to take care of my two critters again.”
“Lauren was an absolute life saver being able to step in at the last minute to provide care for my dog. She was great about asking about my dogs needs and was super friendly. My dog adored her!”
“Amazing, very easy to talk to and work through details of care and they were followed to a T. The cats warmed up to her in a matter of one visit and she kept them active while we were away. Everyone is this interaction we’re happy.”
“Anna was fantastic! Our trip away had multiple hiccups but she was always flexible and helpful. We felt perfectly at ease knowing she was caring for our babies. We (and our doggos) look forward to seeing her again.”
About: I have experience caring for pets for neighbors, family, and friends, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every animal has their own unique personality, routines, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each pet special! I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. I’m currently working full time but hoping to find a consistent schedule caring for your pets. I am open to drops in and walks before and after work. I will respect your house and your pets as they are my own. I love my dogs and hope to love your pets just as much.
“Loved this couple! They took such great care of my home and cat. Followed all instructions and even sat down for a few minutes to let my cat sit with Laura for human interaction on her terms!”
About: I have loved caring for dogs my whole life! From my own family dogs to neighbors and friends' dogs, I have pet-sat, walked, fed, and bathed dogs of all breeds and sizes. I make sure the dogs I care for have a balanced and enriched environment that meets their needs. I work in the school system and have summers off, so I am interested in walking or sitting for pets any day of the week! I can be available at whatever time is needed. During the school year, I am available for walks or drop-ins anytime after 4pm. I live in a condo with a private garage. My neighborhood has great walking paths as well as a fantastic park right across the street. My 4 year old pup (Sammy) and my 1 year old pup (Ginny) can keep your fur baby company in a friendly and fun environment!
“We had a very positive experience with Courtney, she took great care of our fur baby. She was always in communication with us while making his visits, very responsible and punctual. Thank you Courtney for the wonderful service provided.”
“Visited and provided care as planned. She was even able to capture a photo or two. Cat isn't friendly so thought she might not even see Kiki during the visits.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and my understanding of the patience and attention they need at every stage of life. I grew up with two Border Collies who both lived to be 13 years old, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs as well as the needs that come with caring for a senior dog. One of my dogs developed arthritis as he got older, so I understand the importance of being patient with dogs experiencing pain or mobility issues and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and comfort. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your dog like family, follow their routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of patience, attention, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule because I work as a freelance gardener, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to dedicate time to visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship rather than having to fit pet care into a rigid schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with visit times and routines. I’ll make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. I understand that being in their own home can help pets feel more comfortable, so I’ll give them the care and companionship they need while respecting their space and routines. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and be attentive to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Ashley is very professional and great with the dogs! We could tell that she was going to be a good sitter when we first met her and the dogs immediately took a liking to her. She’s is very communicative and takes the job serious. This was our first time to use rover and she was the most helpful out of everyone we talked to. We will be repeat customers!
We needed help on very short notice and Polina was there to save the day! Bailey is an old lady and sometimes can be stubborn or even timid around new people. Polina did everything she could to keep Bailey comfy and happy until our neighbor who Bailey already knows was back in town. It’s not easy meeting a pupper on a Sunday then taking care of them a couple days later. Polina is a true pro. She loves the pets she cares for and it shows. Thanks so much!
Blake and Madison are fantastic, they really cared to make sure Aspen was comfortable and taken care of! They were prompt when I was looking for someone to take care of her short notice and came the day before leaving to greet her and from there I felt she was in great hands. They kept me up to date on all of her outings and meals. I will 100% be using them again in the future and would highly recommend them
It was the first time we used Rocer and we were very happy with the experience, especially with Lindsay, she was great with our Menina, for the next trips we won't waste time looking for friends to take care of our dog, let's come to the app and send a direct message to Lindsay

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gateway is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 12,476 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gateway. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
