“Evelyn was great with Mongo! She followed all of our instructions, took great care of everything, and even sent us some really good pictures of him. Mongo seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. We’d definitely recommend her!”


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!
“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”

About: Apologize to dog parents, although I like dogs, I don’t do dog sittings since I have not much experience with dogs. Wish you best of luck. I’m currently taking a break from my Earth Science research work and want to meet more cats! So, I’m flexible on the schedule and may accept last minute appointments. I prefer to do drop visits since my cat doesn’t like other cats. If your fur babies really need someone to stay with them, we can coordinate that.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, and take care of family and friends fur babies while they’re away I am a full time employee in Johnstown but have time for pet care before and after work. Times will vary based on my schedule but I will always be available morning and night I have 6 cats and 1 dog that are the highlights of my days. I walk my dog twice a day and make sure our babies have fresh water, lots of toys, and all the space to run they could ever need. With a cat tower in every room they never tire
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).

“Natalie was wonderful and took fantastic care of our two cats! I would recommend Natalie to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled and attentive pet care while their out of town. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have ecpericance watching all different kinds of pups, I've worked with different ages, sizes, breeds, abilities, and needs. I have had practice admistering medication at feeding times, as well as watching up to 4 medium dogs at a time. I am a flexable college student that attends CSU, each of my days look a little different, although I can gaurentee the availibility to check up on your dog at least once every 3.5-4 hours! I can watch them for long or short periods of time, whatever works for you and the puppy! I care for my clients pets as I would care for my own. I work around the schedule that they are used to, aswell as keep up with their physical needs. I care for pets in a loving manner and with as much attention as possible
“Jessica was so great at taking care of Luka. The updates that she sent with pictures were reassuring that Luka was in great care. I was thankful for her bringing in an unexpected package that was delivered. I appreciated her schedule flexibility as I arrived home earlier than expected. I would recommend Jessica in caring for your loved one.”
“Leah was amazing sitting our 2 cats! She came and met us for a meet and greet and was great at communicating with us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have always had a love for all animals and spend as much time with them as possible. Originally it was purely volunteer work and I worked at a doggy daycare promoting good behavior in dogs and monitoring play groups. I have experience providing insulin to diabetic animals(mostly cats and dogs) as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids to dogs and cats that need it. I am also willing to learn how to provide pills to animals and any other basic medical needs. I have experience with dog training as well as knowledge of basic animal behaviors and characteristics. Having worked with shelter animals and owned animals I have seen a lot of good and not so good behaviors so I'm prepared for almost anything. I worked closely with the positive reinforcement trainer at Noble Beast Dog training and a dog guardian in the dog daycare there. I currently work with a local dog training LLC . I am always expanding my knowledge of dogs and their behavior. I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, and leopard geckos. I am CPR and First Aid certified for dogs and cats. My current schedule is open except for wednesdays due to work with the LLC. That is subject to change as we acquire more clients for training I have a somewhat spacious house and live in a somewhat open area with fields around. There's also lots of trails to walk within a 5-10 minute drive from my house. I also have a wide array of enrichment ideas to keep pups busy.

About: I have had animals my entire life, both dogs and cats. Growing up I was taught the responsibility of taking care of all of our pets. I understand the love and attention they deserve and sometimes that life gets hard and we need help. I currently have a 13 year-old cat named Henry who is my entire world. I would love to be able to help you and take care of your babies so you have the peace of mind, knowing that they are in good hands. I am currently available full time. I can come see your pets and walk them pretty much anytime that’s needed as long as it’s requested. I do have a small fenced in backyard and a huge green belt and park near my house. My cat only goes into the backyard supervised though.
“Hanna did a wonderful job caring for my elderly cat. She sent sweet pictures and thorough am/pm updates. Hanna is warm, outgoing, engaged, enthusiastic, caring, sincere and confident. My cat takes several meds- topical, injection, and oral and she was able to administer successfully. Not only that but she went above and beyond loving on him and giving him quality time. I highly recommend Hanna.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 677 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 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.

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.
