“Alesia is the best! She kept me updated regularly and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cats. When my door lock wouldn’t work, she provided the food to my outside cats so they wouldn’t go hungry until I got back. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”

About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need at every stage. I also grew up with cats, which helped me become comfortable with different personalities and routines. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my 9-year-old Golden Retriever every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I also grew up with cats, I’m comfortable handling different routines and personalities, and I enjoy making pet care a consistent part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific rules for the pet or home. Since I have a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and recognizing each pet’s personality and needs. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is clean and left as it was.

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Very communicative and friendly with the pups. She helped me remove a towel I had placed on top of cage for sun protection but cooper got ahold of it. We booked her last minute because our brother in law who normally takes them out couldn’t. Sanji and cooper loved the company and freedom away from their kennel while their still training puppies. Thank you again Rachel for your communication, feedback, and help!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for neighbors and family friends since middle school and I've loved it the whole time. I'll always be there for an animal in need and it's my pleasure to do so. I'm currently post graduation and looking for a job in my career field, environmental engineering. In the meantime, I've got plenty of time to be there for those in need and will make you and your pet(s) a top priority. I will treat your pet as my own, giving them the attention, love, and care that every animal deserves. No matter the case, my goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your furry friend to have someone they want to see again.

“If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹”

“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, starting with the great Dane that was in my life when I was just a baby. I’ve potty trained, crate trained, and just generally loved for the pets in my life. I’m currently the mom to a four-year-old cat and she is my whole world, but I’ve had experience from puppies to big dogs and everything in between! My family and friends have often relied on me to check in on or care for their pets, I’m also a quick learner when need be understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. I am currently working a serving job at a brewery, while looking for a role in my career field. My hours vary and some paw-rents don’t mind me working shifts and some do. I am flexible to make whatever works best for you! I know every pet and their needs differ. I can crate if need be, or happily let them roam free. Food/play/poddy schedules are easy for me to keep up with as i’m a very organized individual.

About: I love animals of all kinds and know they’re apart of the family for many. While you’re at work or out and about, who’s to watch the little fur babies? I’ve had personal work with dogs for about 12 years now, both with my own pets and that of family friends’ pets. I’ve worked with cats for about 6 years. I know each animal has their own individual personality and temperament and may require patience, of which I have plenty :). I don’t mind walking pets and or staying in and playing/watching them as needed. Just tell me you and your pets requirements and I’m the girl for the job. Hire me and I can guarantee I’ll provide plenty of play, attention, belly rubs, and of course love to your pets. Hi! I'm Alex. I am a college student currently minoring in psychology. I am very motivated to enhance my understanding of other people and their communication styles, and because I have found cultural exchanges to be some of the most rewarding experiences in my life, I believe that getting to observe other people's homes and lifestyles while pet sitting would be a very insightful encounter. I love to go for long walks no matter what weather, I love nature probably as much as your pet does. In my free time when I wouldn't be caring for your fur babies, and I am a considerably clean individual who has a tendency to clean and organize when she gets bored.

Same as last time, Olivia did great job of taking care of our two cats. It says it all when she sends us a picture of her and Stella (the sociable cat) sitting on a chair together, and her delivering food to the Roxy (the anti sociable cat) behind the clothes in our closet where she hides. We will be using Olivia again!!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Gateway

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gateway is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 785 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gateway. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 , 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.
