“Ashley did a great job overall and arrived to my home every day that I needed her there for. Provided me with daily pictures of my pet and gave updates on how much food was eaten which was good to know. Would highly recommend.”
About: I am a Colorado Native that is new to Laramie within the last year. I have lived with and taken care of animals my entire life. I have worked on my grandpa's ranch and owned animals from fish to reptiles to cats and dogs as well critters. I have experience pet sitting and love getting to know and caring for all forms of pets. It is important to me that the dogs/ pets I watch get as much interaction and stimulation as they need. It can be stressful for all animals to not have their family members home, so giving them the comfort they need until you return is a top priority for me. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you. I work the standard Monday - Friday 9am-5pm from home, but I can be available for drop-ins and walks. Early mornings, mid day or evenings. Also available weekends. I am an active person and can do long or short walks, or stay in for a while and play with cats and get their energy out. I love to teach new fun tricks when I can and make sure I do more than just check their food and water.
“Amaya took great care of our kitty. She kept the litter box clean and maintained the food and water bowls. She provided our kitty playtime, attention, and outdoor time. She regularly communicated with us through the Rover app. She provided pictures and a brief summary of her visit. Amaya offered suggestions on calming techniques for animals that are left alone. She arranged for a get to know you visit before we left on vacation. I would highly recommend Amaya as a pet sitter. I will reach out to her the next time I go out of town.”

Most mornings I am busy with school but I willing to work with you I have plenty of room for all your animals! And can do what is needed based on your request, they will be so happy and loved with me
“Spencer took great care of my animals and was very good about sending me updates, and also made sure to always include a ton of details, which helped me so much when leaving them with a rover sitter for the first time!”
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
“Sadie was fantastic taking care of our two cats. Both have different health issues and she took great care with the all the specific needs both require. She stayed over the holidays to look after them while we were away and came back to a pair of happy, loved kitties and also a clean home. Can’t recommend her enough!”
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).
About: I love animals! It’s fun for me to get to meet your pet. I happily take care of dogs 25lbs and up. I have 3 dogs of my own. The youngest is playful and fun. The other two get along well with other dogs but are older. I can drop in on cats at your house. I work part time both at home and in an office. This is a part time addition to my life because I love to get to meet new pet friends and their parents. As a young child my first pet was a guinea pig named whiskers. You’ll see a pic of him and me in the photos. My family also had a dog named Pepsi who I loved playing with. In college, I got my first dog on my own. She was an Australian cattle dog / german shepard mix. She was strong willed and high energy like any blue heeler and she taught me a ton about caring for a pet. Before starting with Rover, I had helped friends watch their cats and dogs while they were on trips. We have a 5 year old shih poo, a 14 year old standard schnauzer and a 1.5 year old border collie mix. I’m familiar with high energy, intensity animals and those who need a slower pace. I’m interested in helping care for dogs in our home or cats in your home if it’s near where we live. I have a job that has a flexible schedule. I work some days all at home and others in an office. If your dog is active we will include them on walks and we have a split rail fence in our back yard. Pets can have roaming privileges around the house or be in a crate if that brings them comfort. Our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us mostly in their beds but occasionally on the human beds with us. We take regular walks and pets can go outside frequently. I will treat your pet to a fun stay at our house and send them home with you happy :)
“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.”
“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!”
“Leah was incredible! She got to know our two cats so well and they absolutely adored her. They were waiting for her by the front door when we got home :). I think they might even have been disapointed it was us rather than her! She sent bunches of photos and was incredibly communicative with me throughout the process. She even offered to take out our trash bin (with the soiled litter) for us since our trash day was while we were away. Leah is the best of the best!”
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.
“Can’t say enough amazing things about Juan! I am someone who hates leaving my animals but knowing Juan was there taking care of our fur babies made our anniversary trip worry free! He loves all animals and sent daily photos and check ins! He even watered some of our plants which was not part of what we had asked- he goes above and beyond! We will be using him again and HIGHLY recommend him for your next pet sitting needs ♥️♥️”
About: I have been around many different kinds of pets all of my life! I am excited to take care of your babies! I have a dog and two cats myself. I am currently working full time, but I am available on the weekends. I can potentially be available the weekdays after 6pm if needed. :) I can easily make an animal feel comfortable and confident in any environment, I don’t offer at home pet care, so they will be safe!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,221 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
