“Shelly took care of my babies well! She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages in and sweeping up the litter that had gotten onto the floor. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Courteney was amazing and gave me real time updates during her drop in visit with my cats. She went above and beyond and I felt that my fur babies were safe with her. I’d definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
About: I grew up around dogs, never having lived without one. I love all animals, and firmly believe that no matter what, they all deserve love and care. I currently work part time with a varied schedule, so I will typically have half of any day of the week to provide pet care. Whenever I am unable to directly watch a dog, I will crate them; I am NEVER comfortable leaving a dog roaming free by themselves. I apply toddler logic basically: the worst things always happen when you turn your back on them. However I understand that there can be exceptions, such as a dog or cat that roams freely without any issues whatsoever. I never want to put an animal in a situation where they may cause harm to themselves or others, and I am more than happy to comply with any specific safety standards you have set for your own pet's health and well-being.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
About: I’ve been walking with another app, and I absolutely love it! I have a few regular clients I see, but I would love to add a few more fur babies to my daily agenda :) I’m currently saving for my wedding, and I’m a stay at home mom, so every dollar is greatly appreciated! :) I promise your babies are in great hands. I’m currently a stay at home, with more than enough time on my hands! Honestly taking care of the fur babies brings me so much joy, while I can still enjoy the freedoms of not having a “9-5” job. I’m very thankful for each and every opportunity’ The most safe!!! I’m a mom and I have eyes like a hawk! They are in great hands. I truly take a lot of pride in the work that I do, and I know each and every fur baby is irreplaceable and I treat them as such :)
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 18 years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work full-time in the Genetics Lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. My schedule allows me to provide pet care after work on weekdays and with flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Sarah was so patient and caring. We couldn’t be happier with her communication and pictures. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone and would absolutely use her again in the future!”
About: I currently care for Fawn, a 3 month old kittens. I also have a family dog at home, Lola. I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, hamsters, and hedgehogs.

About: I've been walking dogs for over 8 years now, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite parts of the week! I currently walk for a few regular clients on a weekly basis, and I love getting to know each dog's personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I have 2 cats myself, so I've got a soft spot for all kinds of pets! Bouncy puppies who need to burn off some energy, senior dogs who just want a slower and gentler pace, cats who want to play, I am here for it all! I pay attention to what each pet actually needs, whether that's a specific walking route, extra care around leash reactivity, or just keeping things calm and comfortable for a cat while their family's away. I also house sit for 4 different families and their pets, and I'm looking to take on more! Between that and my dog walking clients, I'm used to keeping different routines, feeding schedules, and personalities straight, and making sure every pet feels just as comfortable as they would with their own family home. I also work full-time at Orangetheory Fitness, so I'm active, punctual, and reliable! I show up on time and give your dog every pet my full attention, every single time. My schedule actually works out perfectly for pet care! I coach at Orangetheory from 4am to 10am, so my mornings start early, but that means I've got the whole rest of my day wide open. I walk pets before my shift and swing by again right after, and honestly, I build my whole schedule around whatever your pet needs, not the other way around! The only thing I plan around is making it home to feed my own two cats, but as long as I'm in town and you give me a little heads up, I'm all in, whenever you need me! And since my afternoons and evenings are so open, your pet isn't getting some rushed, in-and-out visit. They're getting real playtime, real love, and someone who's actually excited to be there! Although I don't offer pet sitting in my own home due to my own two boys, I'll gladly watch your pets in their own environment! I like keeping them in their own home to make sure they're still comfortable in their space, and it gives you the peace of mind of knowing they're exactly where you left them! When I'm in your home, I stick closely to whatever routine your pet is used to, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, all of it. I'm not just popping in to check a box, I spend real time with your pet, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company so they don't feel like their world flipped upside down while you're gone. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping things tidy and secure the whole time I'm there. And no matter what, you'll always get updates and photos while you're away, so you can see firsthand that your pet (and home) are in great hands!
“Mick was great and super accommodating to my last minute booking. She sent pics of my kitties while they stayed with her which I appreciate! If I ever need another pet sitter I will absolutely book with her again 🩷”
About: I have taken care of coaches dogs, teachers dogs, and neighbors animals too. I have supplement and medication experience for dogs and especially coaxing them to take it. :) Having 7 dogs teaches you some stuff. I take care of animals everyday due to the fact that I have so many dogs. It’s daily for me so it comes naturally to take care of a dog. Additionally I have had cats so I do know how to take care of cats. I make sure when in my clients home that the dogs or cats are well played with, exercised, and fed. My main goal is to make sure that the pet is okay and no accidents or pieces of special items to you don’t get eaten or chewed on. ;)
“Sydnie is a life saver! I asked for her help at last minute ages she immediately was happy to take care of my senior dog, she is trusted and a person I will definitely consider for the future”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,264 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gillivan. 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.
