“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for over a decade now, and have enjoyed every minute of it. Along with my education in animal sciences at Eckerd College, I believe I have all the tools you need to feel assured that your pet will be pampered in all the best ways. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare facility in St. Petersburg and have extra time on my hands. I wanted to earn extra income while continuing to do what I love. I pamper each pet to the maximum extent within me. Even if your pet is not receptive to new people all the time I believe I offer the patience and kindness as well as training in animal body language to understand them and speak their language. Given some time, any animal can be loved and given all the affection they could ever ask for even if they don’t always trust you at first glance.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, making sure they have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and lots of attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and keeping cats’ litter boxes tidy. Above all, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time in education so during the school year I’m available after school (2:30 PM), evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I’m available. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their routine. I ensure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, and provide attention and playtime. For cats, I clean litter boxes regularly, and for dogs, I take them outside for bathroom breaks and walks as needed. Routine Updates: I’ll send updates and photos to keep you informed, so you can have peace of mind while away.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog. I am currently a graduate school student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have large gaps in the afternoons with many days with no class. I would be able to accommodate lunch walk/bathroom breaks as well as morning and evening check ins if needed. I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Gibsonton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gibsonton is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 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 1,092 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gibsonton. 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 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
