“Ruowei is great! She took amazing care of my two cats while I was traveling abroad, and I truly felt at ease the entire time. She sent timely updates with photos and messages about how they were doing, and went above and beyond by helping refill my humidifier and taking care of small things around the house without being asked. It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats’ comfort and well being. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Nouf was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was flexible throughout my time away. Her communication was clear and I always knew my cat was doing well. She made sure my cat had her dinner with medication, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing before leaving. I’ll definitely book with her again.”

“Kathryn was absolutely amazing for our little grumbly girl, Kora. We were going to book with Kathryn back when our cat Dannica was still with us. I was always so anxious to leave her especially when she started having her health problems. Kathryn is the only new person that was not only able to see Dannica, but she was able to pet her. There was no other choice once I saw that. Kathryn is communicative, friendly, and thorough when it comes to caring for animals. Kora loved her, and I absolutely recommend booking with her.”

“This was our first time to meet Lily. She dropped in on our cat daily for 9 days and came prior to our trip to meet him. Each time she was punctual, pleasant, and professional. She responded quickly as I had questions, and left us a daily photo! He was a happy and well-cared-for boy when we got home. We’ll definitely reach out to Lily again when we travel. Thanks so much!”

“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.

About: Hi, I'm Mia! I share my home with three dogs and three cats, all rescues, and I foster dogs through local rescue centers. I believe every dog and cat deserves loving care, and that's what I bring to every walk and visit. I'm comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I'm extra patient with shy, anxious, or newly adopted pets. I'm especially gentle with cats, letting them set the pace so they feel safe I mostly work from home and available for weekdays and weekends. I make sure doggies have plenty of both physical and mental exercises on daily basis I live in a quiet area in Columbia with lots of nature trails. Dogs sleep in crates at night and loose at home during the day. My house is puppy proof with surveillance camera throughout the house.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.

“Meghan has been great with my two young Huskies. Not everyone could deal with that kind of energy, but Meghan has been extremely flexible as we work together to accommodate their needs, plays with them to burn some of their energy, and ensures they have clean water and treats. She uses good judgement in evaluating weather factors that particularly impact Huskies and is careful not to teach them new bad habits (they can come up with enough all on their own - hah). They clearly love her and look forward to her visits.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a super loving and compassionate person. Animals have a special place in my heart. I stop and try to pet dogs every time I can. Pets are not just pets! They are family! I currently work remote and I have a flexible schedule. I have the time and space to help take care of your fur babies with love and compassion. I have a townhouse and have a space available for your fur babies. My basement is spacious for them to hang out and play or just sleep.

About: I have taken care of my family's and friend's dogs for over 10 years, working with both large and small dogs of all age ranges. I have taken care of energetic dogs that need lots of walks and playtime, and also dogs that need less activity but lots of love while their parents are out of town. Additionally, I have experience giving small and large dogs oral medication. I am currently working part-time and a student on summer break applying to physician assistant programs so I have a very flexible schedule and I can dedicate as much time as needed to taking care of your pet. While watching your pet in your home I will make sure we stick to the areas designated to where the pet is allowed and make sure to keep an eye on them in whatever room or outdoor space they are in.

“Desi was absolutely incredible. This was our second time booking with her for a house sitting and we have absolutely no complaints! She was phenomenal helping us with a leaking ceiling and working with us while we got a plumber out there and even met a friend to get a dehumidifier. She went above and beyond to help our house, but also to make sure Bucky was safe and comfortable. I can’t thank Desi enough for being an amazing pet sitter! She sent updates on Bucky every day and truly helped make our vacation great.”

About: Hi! I’m Laura, a veterinarian from Colombia with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly love. Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I can also help with basic medications and special care when needed. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and I always take the time to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with love, respect, and plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I currently work four days a week with a rotating schedule, usually from 8 AM to 6 PM. My days off vary each week, but I have good availability on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also available in the evenings after work on some days. I’m happy to coordinate with each pet parent’s schedule and provide reliable, loving care for their pets. 🐾❤️. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinarian, I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats and understanding their individual needs and behaviors. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet can feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. ❤️🐾

About: I have been pet sitting for 9+ years and have experience with old dogs, hyper dogs, big dogs, and even dogs with behavioral issues. I am trained in dog CPR and have taken classes to become a pet care professional. I have had cats all my life and frequent the local cat shelters to help out where I can! My own cat receives injections and an allergy pill everyday so I am comfortable administering medication. I have a very flexible job and I would love to brighten my day by walking dogs petting cats and meeting new animals in my spare time! I am familiar working with pets with behavioral issues and I think patience is key in keeping the pets safe and the humans safe. Pet safety is my number one concern when doing my job.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Gilberts Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,055 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilberts Corner. 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 Gilberts Corner. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.
