“Elyssa was took extremely good care of our pets while we were gone for a week. She sent daily updates and photos and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for! I will definitely be rebooking her next time we go on vacation!”


About: Hi! I'm 19 years old, and I've never known life without pets. Because of that, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friends behind when you're away. I've cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life, cats, dogs, exotic pets, etc. I think what makes my care unique is my personal love of each pet. No matter their breed, size, or personality, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work part-time as I’m currently an online college student so plenty of time will be devoted to your pets! I am flexible when it comes to relocating to fit your pet’s needs! I live in an apartment with a spacious area to walk around outside and a dog park! I have one senior cat I rescued that sleeps all day in his cat tree. I’m well adjusted to all personalities of pets, the crazy ones, and the lazy ones!
About: I have grown up with many different kinds of pets. Taking care of them feeding them and exercising them. I have experience with dogs cats ducks bunnies and fish. To me pets are part of the family and should be loved and cared for. I'm currently an online college student meaning I have plenty of time to drop in on your little furry companion. Wantings and evenings are my preferred drop in time but afternoons are possible if you prefer. I have a fencing yard with two friendly dogs just in case you're furry companion needs a friend. I have extra crates and leashes if you cannot provide your own.
“This was my first experience using Rover, and to be honest, I was initially worried. After asking a couple of pet sitters, I believe I made the best decision in choosing Amaya. I had the pleasure of having Amaya take care of my beloved cat, Baloo, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and dedication she provided. Throughout her visits, Amaya went above and beyond to ensure Baloo's well-being. She consistently updated me with detailed messages, keeping me informed about Baloo's meals, water refreshments, litter box cleaning, and even the extra effort to engage him in play and brushing. What truly stood out was Amaya's patience and understanding of Baloo's shy nature. She took the time to let him come out and get used to her presence on his own terms, resulting in heartwarming progress. The updates she provided, such as Baloo coming out for pets and brushing, truly reflect her commitment to creating a comfortable and trusting environment for him. Amaya demonstrated not only professionalism but also genuine care and affection towards Baloo. Her efforts to make each visit a positive experience for him were evident, and I'm grateful for the progress she achieved in getting him to warm up. I highly recommend Amaya for her exceptional pet sitting services. Baloo and I are fortunate to have found someone so dedicated and caring. Thank you, Amaya, for your outstanding service!”


About: I have always been around animals, never in my life have I not had a dog. Growing up I volunteered at the local animal shelter walking, training and taking care of the animals there. Once I got my own car I started sitting for friends and family. As a massage therapist I took animal massage courses in school, I am very comfortable handling animals. I love being outdoors and active, I am very excited about being a dog walker. In my home we are very relaxed, allowing our pets lots of room and freedoms to play inside and outside in the fenced yard as well as lounge on the couches and pet beds. We don't use crates or keep animals separated unless instructed by their people, we like for the dogs to be together and play with eachother! That being said, we do have spare rooms for pets that have social anxieties. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! When I work I am home by noon to give potty breaks and lots of love and attention! My back yard is a nice fenced yard for safe play time and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs to keep your furbaby company during their stay. Crates are available if preferred for alone time or night time.

Expect lots of cuddles, playtime, attention, and updates so you can feel at ease too. 🐾✨ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals! I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and loving care throughout the day. I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. 🐾✨ Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like family every step of the way. 💖🐾
“Matthew always spends quality time playing with Monte. I always feel better knowing my dog is in good hands. I especially appreciate the photo updates, they give my husband and me peace of mind and make us smile. I always feel more relaxed knowing my dog is being so well cared for, and will definitely book with Matthew again!”


“Apple is awesome. Our little fur baby got out and she was able to get there right away to help us get him back in. Highly recommend her to take care of anyone’s fur babies.”

“Dillon did a few drop in visits for my pups and was absolutely amazing! My German shepherd has never met him before the visits and he was a pro at getting her to warm up to him! He also played with them and adjusted to their different play styles. We will be contacting Dillon again for future visits! I highly recommend him!!”

“This was the second time Jennifer watched my cat when the sitter I had set up cancelled last minute. My cat was well cared for and she gave good updates throughout her stay with him. I can be a worrywart, especially about my cat, and Jennifer made me feel very comfortable being gone. I would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future and recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,222 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilcrest. 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 Gilcrest. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
