“I can’t rave about Kassie enough! As someone who hasn’t taken a vacation in years because I just couldn’t leave my babies behind, she treated them like her own 🥹 She is the true cat whisperer as my cats who don’t like anyone including family, warmed right up to her. Received many videos of them happy, fed, and loved ❤️Great communication, thorough care, and truly a kind spirit! Book Kassie!!”

About: With seven years of owning and operating my own pet-sitting business, I've had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I am certified in Applied Canine Ethology through the Ethology Institute, giving me specialized knowledge of canine behavior and body language, and I am also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR, so you can have added peace of mind knowing your pet's safety is always my top priority.

Whether your companion is energetic, shy, or has unique behavioral needs, you can count on dependable, compassionate, and experienced care every step of the way.

I have a love for photography and dog training, and I have always incorporated these into my work! When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone who values not only their happiness, but also their emotional well-being, safety, and individual needs. I have just moved from Naples, where I pet sat full-time for 6 years. I am building my pet sitting business here in Gateway. I love to walk/run with dogs, play with the pups/cats, or simply just chill if that's what they prefer! Let's talk and customize their visits to what fits best for them!
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!!
“Eva has been such a tremendous help to us. When we have had dog care fall through at the last minute, she has always been so wonderful and stepped in to save the day. She's really communicative and takes great photos too. Or dogs love her!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have three fur babies. Two dogs and one cat. I have experience in giving medication and all cleaning/grooming type tasks for both dogs and cats. I am very detail oriented and your pets overall wellbeing and happiness are very important to me. I will give them the love and respect that they deserve! I currently work at nighttime so I am able to provide dog walking or drop in visits for both dogs and cats during the day! I will spoil your babies with so much love and attention so they don't feel lonely while you are out and about. I am great at following any specific instructions provided as well.
“Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals like chickens, cows, donkeys, and dogs, so I'm well-versed in handling pets of all kinds.

I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I work a standard 8-5 schedule Monday through Friday, but I’m available from 5 PM to 9 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available all day. Let me know the time and date that works best for you—I look forward to helping you and your furry friend(s)! Romeo and Juliet have the freedom to roam and sleep wherever they like. We keep a water bowl downstairs for Romeo and another upstairs for Juliet, though she happily uses both. I also have two pet cameras set up, allowing me to check on them whenever I’m away from home. I carefully review all instructions to ensure your pets can stick to their usual routine while you're away!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gateway on Rover is $23.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 784 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.

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.
