“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”
“Ashley provided such a wonderful care for my dog and cat. I am so pleased I will definitely have her come again. Thank you so much Ashley. I could be at peace while I was gone on vacation and that is really important to me.”
“Our second time booking Valerie - this time for a longer trip. We were so at ease knowing Valerie was taking care of our cats, especially our older cat who has medical needs and desires lots of affection. Valerie made sure to give her extra snuggles and attention, while also giving our other cat the space she desires. We will definitely book again!”
“Katherine did an exceptional job taking care of my two cats. One takes medication and can be fussy, she was able to get her to take her meds. When there were questions, the communication was prompt. Thanks again!”
“Sabrina was great while I was on my recent trip! My cat has very specific dietary needs and she followed all the instructions perfectly! She took great care of him with her drop-in visits and I will happily book with her again!”
“Karin is absolutely fantastic and both of my doggies adore her! This was our first time using Rover and Karin was awesome at explaining what we could expect and easing our mind. She also sent us cute photos during her visits to let us know everything was going well. We were so happy and the doggies can’t wait for Karin’s next check in!”
“Natascha has taken care of our older dog several times now, and has done a great job! She is always on time, makes sure our girl is well fed and comfortable, and gives good updates on how things are going. would highly recommend!”
“Gina is incredible as always and we would recommend her ten fold to anyone! She leaves extremely detailed summaries which we appreciate and is super aware of how your pet is doing!”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
“If I could give her 100 stars, I would! I was traveling and couldn’t into our regular boarding and no other boarding facilities had openings. So I checked out Rover & booked a stay with Codi! It couldn’t have gone ANY better. She would send regular pictures with updates about their activity and well being! The whole trip I was able to relax knowing that are fur babies were being loved and truly attended to! I will absolutely recommend Codi & 100% will rebook with her again!”
“She was great with my dogs. I appreciated being kept informed while I was gone. The videos she sent set me at ease because I could see my dogs being themselves and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dogs were being taken care of.”
About: Hi! I’m Caryn (CAR-in), a former zookeeper, professional animal trainer, and lifelong dog lover. With over a decade of professional experience working with animals, from marine mammals and birds to large carnivores, I now focus my passion and expertise on providing compassionate, confidence-building care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with the Seattle Aquarium, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and Seattle Humane Society, and I bring a strong foundation in behavior observation, positive reinforcement training, and safe medication handling to every pup I meet. At home, I share life with two dogs who fill my days with joy, gentle chaos, and the kind of perspective only a dog can offer: Tucker, our 65 lb. soulful and cuddly Boxador who happens to be dog-reactive, and Cooper, our 40 lb. playful Hound/Boxer/Boston mix who proudly strutted his stuff in the 2023 Puppy Bowl. Living with a reactive dog has deepened my understanding of behavior, communication, and how powerful patience and empathy can be. I also had the honor of growing alongside Max, our beloved senior miniature schnauzer, who lived to 18 and reminded me daily of the grace and tenderness senior dogs deserve. I offer tailored, loving care for your pet, whether they're curious puppies discovering the world or seasoned seniors needing extra comfort and support. Outside of pet care, I’m an artist and nature lover who enjoys trail running, exploring, and creating artwork inspired by nature. I bring that same sensitivity and presence into every visit, tuning in to the little quirks and big personalities that make each dog unique. From enrichment games to cozy snuggles or jogs around the block, I’m here to provide experienced, heartfelt care tailored just for your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, focused care throughout the day. I'm available every day between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM for walks, runs, play sessions, check-ins, and quiet companionship - whatever suits your pet’s needs and energy level. Whether your pet thrives on enrichment and exercise or just needs a steady, reassuring presence, I’ve got you covered. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the heart of every visit. In your home, I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and emotional needs, from where they feel safe resting to how they like to be approached. Whether I’m providing enrichment, administering medication, or simply offering a calming presence, I always prioritize gentle communication, consent-based interactions, and low-stress handling. My background in behavior observation and positive reinforcement helps me read subtle cues and respond thoughtfully, especially with nervous, reactive, or senior pets. Everything I do, from locking up carefully to maintaining clean, familiar routines, I care for your pet and home as if they were my own. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’m always happy to share a note or photo about your pet’s day, if that brings you peace of mind.
“She treated my pups like they were her own. She left me detailed messages about how each of the drop in visits went with pictures to go along with it. Made me feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely be using her again!”
“This is our second time using Genesis to check in on our fur baby! She does such a fantastic job, and Zoë absolutely adores her. I love the detailed report cards that she sends with each visit along with the fun pictures! If you are looking for a dog sitter or a dog walker, Genesis is the one, and I highly recommend her!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gorst
Gina has always exceeded our expectations when caring for our two cats. This is her third time visiting our little babies and each time we leave them we can breathe knowing they will be taking care of by her. If you’re are debating whether to book her, DONT. There’s no one we would rather book with to watch our cats. We brag about her to all our friends. Thanks Gina.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gorst on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,167 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gorst. 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.

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.
