“Lilly is such a wonderful caregiver for our dog Bailey and I’m so thankful for her! Bailey needs multiple oral medications to control seizures, and requires them to be given in a certain way at a specific time. Lilly has been great about giving Bailey these medications as directed. I feel completely confident in Lilly’s ability to care for Bailey’s special needs. Lilly is very patient and kind, and it’s clear that Bailey really enjoys it when Lilly takes care of her!! Thank you Lilly!!”
“Katie was a joy to work with. From the first time she met with Lucy for an introduction before taking on the job through the daily updates while we were away, she made every effort to make us feel comfortable leaving our little one in her trusted care. She is kind and generous and we would gladly use her services in the future. Lucy our pup clearly enjoyed her company. Thanks Katie!”
“Highly recommend Lisa! She is extremely reliable and provided excellent communication throughout my time away. I appreciate the updates and photos after every visit. It’s such a relief to have someone like Lisa to take good care of my cats when I'm away.”
“Kim has been absolutely fantastic! I was nervous to leave my older boy alone after we lost our other dog. Kim fit a meet and greet in on short notice and my boy immediately loved her. I love the photos and updates I get from her daily. She goes above and beyond and cleaned up an accident my guy had so well I couldn’t even tell where it was. She has gone above and beyond. Highly recommend Kim to anyone! I have felt so comfortable having her come to take care of my boy, and that is a high bar to meet.”
“Betsy was a HUGE help to us while we were away on vacation!! She made drop-in visits to check on our fur baby, and we couldn't have felt more at ease! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, but Betsy was able to put her right at ease. Our dog is rather picky and won't eat very well unless some is there. Betsy accommodated this need and sat with her while she ate each day. She also sent us picture and video updates throughout the time we were away to let us know our baby was doing great! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help take care of our dog, and we sure hope Betsy is available for our future needs since she helped us SO much!”
About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.
About: I have owned dogs and cats all through growing up. I love walking but get bored alone, can't have a furry friend of my own to walk so im living vicariously through your fur babies! I walk as much as I can but it's boring... I love animals, I have even trained my cat to walk on leash outside, but she doesn't have distance in her. I want to enjoy a walk, make it an adventure. I work Tuesday and Friday though Friday afternoons may work. And I am unavailable between 12-3pm most days. I offer long or short walks, locally or at a destination of choice, depending on size/breed/weather. Car rides to parks for socializing if that's what is requested. I cannot overnight any dog as it's against lease, cats may be negotiable.
“Alex did an amazing job with Roscoe! We are very happy with her services. She also filled in last minute and was super flexible and professional. We will definitely be contacting her again. Thanks, Alex!”
“Jane took great care of our furr-babies. She sent some pictures, were sure they were exercised/played with and cleaned up an “accident”. Your pets are in good hands with Jane!”
“Shelby is awesome. I’ve been using her services for almost 3 years now. My dogs know her and looks forward to drop in visits when I work long hours. She paid special attention to my little guy who seemed to hurt his leg recently. She’s like part of our pack now.”
“Brianna has been a fabulous companion for my dog Ava on her midday visits. She has allowed Ava to choose how much time to play or rest, and you can see the difference in how comfortable Ava has become in her presence. Highly recommended her!”
About: I’m an all animal lover, I have several pets including two young dogs that I adopted. We love to go for walks, play at the park or hang around the house and play with toys.

I can provide safe play and walks with or without my dogs, experienced with ferals, ages from young to old and of course lots of love and healthy snacks.also experienced with caged animals and bearded dragons!
“It was a very nice meeting Lani. She was on time, very cordial, definitely had a rapport with our Berniedoodle, Sophie, who lay right by her feet. We all spent time together so she could get to know our Sophie. We all look forward to having her back very soon. Thank you Lani.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gilford on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
