About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have a passion for caring for animals! I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have a cat of my own that I rescued, I have also fostered kittens! This gave me experience with providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, and administering medicine. I’ll treat every pet I care for like my own! I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for walks and drop in visits during the day, especially in the morning and late afternoons. I am happy to work with your pets routine! I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you are away. I’ll always follow your instructions and take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I will make sure they get plenty of attention!

“Rachael was our first experience with Rover, and honestly so long as she’s on the platform I don’t see us booking with anyone else. Her updates were adorable, and you could immediately tell that she has a true love for the animals in her care and their individual needs. Do not hesitate!”

About: I have loved animals—especially cats since childhood. They have been a part of my life all along. I had my own cat for 13 years and loved looking after and caring for him. For the time being, I don't work on certain days, so I can spend the whole day with your pet and give them all my love! I love showing affection and taking an interest in spending time with pets—whether at my own home or a client's because every animal deserves attention.

“Iwonka was AMAZING! Our 18 year old cat doesn’t always take to strangers, but Callie loved Iwonka! She immediately warmed up to her and would follow her around the whole time she visited. Iwonka was kind, professional, and so sweet. She followed all the directions we had for giving Callie her medicine and quirks about her. We loved seeing photos of Callie while we were away and knew she was in the best hands! We absolutely will be using Iwonka again for Cat sitting when we are in need. She was quick to respond to our messages and kept our house very clean (cleaned up some puke and a poop accident as well as put all the food and water dishes in the dishwasher). We cannot thank her enough for making our sweet, old girl so happy while we were away!!”

About: Owned a dog for 13 years and enjoyed every second of it to his final days. All ages deserve love and special care. Would love to provide this to all pets! Recently left a career to go back to school and finish my degree. I am very close and want to focus on this without the stress of a retail fast paced environment. I enjoy loving animals and find it to be stress relieving and rewarding! I have a 2 acre yard that I take my cats out to everyday and all dogs are welcome to! I also live down the street from a dog park with a nice walking trail.

“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”

About: What sets ne apart is my lifelong love of dogs and my commitment to provide safe, dependable care. I have owned and cared for dogs from childhood through- recents, including large breeds like Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers,, as well as a Boston Terrier. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and enjoy spending time with them. I also completed Alison’s comprehensive “All About Dogs” course to expend my knowledge of dog behavior and care deserves patience, Kindness, exercise, and attention. My goal is to give pet owners piece of mind. Knowing their dog will be treated with the same love and care I would give my own. Presently, I can work most mornings as well as afternoons. This may change when I get a part time job. I will still have many times available. Right now though my schedule is wide open. To play and walk the pups. When caring for pets in a client’s home. I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep their pets routine as normal as possible. I would make sure they have have fresh food, and water, plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I would provide patience attentive care while treating both the pet and the clients home with the utmost respect. Amy goal is for every pet to feel safe comfortable and loved until their family returns home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gilberts on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,978 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilberts. 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
