Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.

Emily is awesome and I can tell from the photos that my nervous pup is super comfortable with her. There have been several times when she has been able to take care of Homer on short notice and she has been reliable and trustworthy.

Mary was so great with my dog, will be using her as my regular dog sitter going forward. Was super attentive and interactive with him from the first meet and greet. Great communication from her and loved the check ins she sent while she came to visit, very glad I found somebody so happy to spend some time with him when I’m at work. 10/10 recommend!

About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

Lauren was really nice and communicative while watching my 2 cats! She was able to give my kitty his pills while I was gone and checked in and sent photos every time she stopped by. She also answered within a week of when I needed a sitter! Definitely would recommend booking with Lauren :)

I am so so happy we found Kristen on Rover! This was our first trip traveling without our pup, and after meeting Kristen, we felt so confident that our pets would be well loved and attended to. She gave prompt updates after her visits with our pup "smiling" in every picture- clearly having a blast! We were so impressed she packed so much into a half hour- walks, fetch, food and potty break. She also went above and beyond caring for our cranky elderly cat. Its a relief to have someone we trust locally to care for our pets as we would, giving us peace of mind to travel. We will 100% be working with Kristen again and highly recommend her!

Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.

About: My first dog came to my family when I was 3, I had a very strong connection to my dog. After her we had a puppy, and after him we have two cats as of now. I know how to bath gently, I understand how senior animals need extra time and care. I’m used to giving medication if needed. I’m working two jobs part time but I still have Monday completely open and Wednesday after 12pm free along with Saturday early afternoons. I’m looking for a few extra bucks to pay some bills. My cats have free range of my house, and they do go outside, I keep them company in the mornings and always love to greet them and tell them goodnight.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time therapist and lifelong animal lover. I have two dogs of my own who are currently training to become therapy dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I love spending time with animals and have cared for and pet sat for friends’ pets many times over the years. I’d love to help keep your pet (dog or cat) happy, safe, and well cared for! My full-time work schedule varies from week to week, which allows me flexibility in my availability. Depending on the day, I can often accommodate walks and visits in the early morning, mid-afternoon, or late evening. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and will communicate clearly about my availability to ensure reliable care for your pet. I care for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain their routine, provide plenty of affection and exercise, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I have over 25 years of pet care experience with my own pets, and I walk dogs at the Humane Society on Saturdays & was trained by their incredible staff in basic dog training techniques in 2024. In addition to dogs & cats, I have owned and cared for guinea pigs, a chinchilla, rabbits, chickens, chameleon, and iguana! I would love to care for your pet(s) and help give you some peace of mind while you're away. I would love to walk your dog(s), and/or care for your pet(s), on Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sun anytime between 6:00 am- 7:30 am, as well as between 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm. I am willing to travel to the following towns: Lebanon, Colchester, Waterford, New London, Norwich, Bozrah, Colombia, Windham, Franklin, Salem, Lisbon, Montville, and other surrounding Towns (depending on mileage). I am also available Saturday mornings when booked in advance. I care for my two cats at home, they are rescue and special needs. I administer medications, food, ensure they are groomed appropriately to avoid any matting, and spend lots of fun play time with them! I make sure they get proper nutrition and stimulation throughout the day. We love our cats! I will treat your animals as if they are my own, because each little animal being deserves specialized care & attention, just like their human counterparts!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Gilman

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gilman on Rover is $38.5 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilman. 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 Gilman. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
