“Trisha was fabulous! We booked her for daily drop-ins with our 2 cats and she was always punctual, and always spent a full 30 minutes with them so they were fed and played with regularly. She really went the extra mile for us. One day she arrived to discover an ant infestation all over the dished (gross!!!) and she cleaned it all up and relocated the food to protect it from further ant incursions until our return. Our cats don't like strangers but they took to Trisha right away! You know you can count on Trisha. She's a very reliable, dependable person with her act together.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

“We initially chose Tracey based on all her great reviews and returning clients. She was awesome taking care of our senior cat Brie. Tracey sent us daily updates with photos and videos. When our electricity was unexpectedly disrupted on a very hot day, she generously offered to take our cat to her home for care. This was truly going above and beyond her Rover requirements. We would not hesitate to hire Tracey again to care for any of our pets and we certainly plan to do so!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gilroy
I’m writing this review to help others who are looking for the perfect person to watch their precious fur babies. Like many of you, my pets are incredibly important to me. I have three indoor cats, including Luna, my “scaredy-cat” princess, who usually only likes my wife and I. My biggest worry was that Luna would be too terrified to eat while we were away. This is my first time using a pet-sitting app. I chose Trisha because she lives nearby, has cats of her own, and had great feedback. We had a wonderful meet-and-greet where she was punctual, attentive, and showed a genuine love for animals. Because our vacation was a month and a half away, I asked her to come over one more time right before we left to review the routine. She happily agreed, which really put my mind at ease. Trisha visited twice a day for one hour over seven days. She was incredibly reliable never missed a visit and sent daily reports with pictures. While Luna spent most of the time under the bed, Trisha used different feeding tactics to make sure she ate. By the end of the week, Luna actually came out of hiding for photos-which is huge for her! When we returned, the house was immaculate. The litter boxes were clean, and the floors were perfectly vacuumed of any tract litter. I am so relieved, and will definitely be using Trisha for all our future Pet setting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gilroy on Rover is $26.64 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 1,235 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gilroy. 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.

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.
