“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!!!”
“Amara was great! She took care of our baby with lots of love and played lots with him. She sent me videos and pictures which I loved as well. I could tell that Weasley had a lot fun with her.”
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

A place for your pet that is familiar to them to feel comfortable.
“Madison took care of my two kitties for the first time this past week and did an excellent job. She was timely with her visits and made sure the kitties were happy and getting plenty of pets while we were away. I’d happily boon her again!”
“Katherine was a great fit for our cat's first night with us gone. She made quick friends with Howl and respected Calcifer's space. I would recommend her and book her again.”

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.
About: I have been taking care of my dogs since I was little. Growing up we always had two dogs in the house. From taking care of my parents dogs, friends and coworkers dogs and other family members dogs to my own dogs, Nash, Bowen and Finn. I am a patient and loving individual with a big soft spot for animals. I trained and cared for my dog Nash since he was 8 weeks old and now have two more amazing boys, Finn and Bowen. I am able to care for a dog from simple walks to medication needs. Outside of my career I am a homebody who loves being home with my dogs and going on walks. I am a police officer at night so you can trust your pup will be in good hands. However because of my job, my schedule fluctuates. My schedule is consistent and just work the night time. I am a night shift officer and work until 1:30am so if there are late night walks needed after my shift I am available for that as well. I have a large home with three friendly and loving golden retrievers. Myself and my boyfriend are home to take care of the animals outside of our work schedules. We do have a fenced in yard.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
About: As a beginner, I bring a lot of enthusiasm, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. While I’m just starting out professionally, I’ve spent plenty of time caring for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention. Putting the pet’s comfort and safety first is always top priority. I may be new, but I’m dedicated, responsible, and excited to provide the best care possible for your furry family members. Taking care of pets fits really well into my routine! Right now, I work at The Cheesecake Factory, where I usually have 4-hour shifts about five days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I also volunteer at the hospital every Tuesday from 4:00–8:00 p.m. My college classes don't start until late August, and even then I'll only have class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Overall, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve! I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will feel right at home. My living space is calm, tidy, and well-suited for both play and relaxation. There’s a park just a short walk away, perfect for regular walks and outdoor time for dogs. For cats, I create a quiet, cozy space where they can feel comfortable, explore safely, and enjoy plenty of affection (or alone time, if they prefer). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have two years of professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, along with previous experience fostering both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up around animals and currently have a Pomeranian-Papillon mix of my own. I also enjoy volunteering at local animal shelters. I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable, and attentive care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I currently take online college classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love spending my free time volunteering at local animal shelters and caring for my own Pomeranian-Papillon mix. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their pet’s individual routine to make sure they receive the attention they deserve! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care. I have two years of experience working in a professional dog boarding facility, so I understand the importance of supervision, cleanliness, proper handling, and following each pet’s individual care instructions. I live in an apartment where pets are welcome and have a very friendly Pomeranian-Papillon mix of my own who is used to spending time around other dogs. If your dog is comfortable around other dogs, they are welcome to stay with me! However, I completely understand that not every dog enjoys being around other animals, so I am also happy to provide care in your own home instead. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I am happy to follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and routines to help your pet feel right at home!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Highly recommend Amara! She looked after our cat (Kip) over the weekend and was very reliable. I loved getting the photo updates of Kip playing, chilling on the lanai, and getting her favourite Churu treats. It made being away easier, and we will definitely book her next time!
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!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gateway is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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.

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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
