About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.
“No complaints! There seem to have been no issues, I was updated as to when she was arriving and leaving. I recieved multiple pictures of each dog and was even updated on their bathroom habits whilst gone!”
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
“Renee was awesome!! She took very good care of our two doggies while we were gone for vacation. She was quick to reply and we never had to worrry about our doggies and just truly ejoy our vacation”
“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!”
“Amazing experience! I was a bit skeptical about Drop-ins but Aaliyah gave me great confidence! Communication back and forth was top tier, followed directions and asked for clarity! Aaliyah was a delight and so professional too ☺️. I’m definitely booking her again!”
“Taylor has done a great job with my two dogs and two cats. One dog and one cat needed medication and I was able to relax during a weekend away knowing that she was taking care of them. When she finished early, she used the extra time sweeping the animal hair all over my house!”
About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
About: I have been a pet sitter for 15 years. I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have 2 dogs that are my babies 💜 Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing on weekends as a way to spend time with animals while helping families feel at ease when they’re away. Because I only take on a limited number of bookings, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s sticking to their normal routine, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big responsibility. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will treat them as if they were my own by following their routines, providing plenty of love and attention, and keeping a close eye on their well-being. I am committed to maintaining a safe environment by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and communicating promptly if any concerns arise. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be cared for with patience, compassion, and attention to detail while you’re away.

About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always
About: I have experience watching dogs for family and friends, and I enjoy spending time with them and building a trusting relationship. I enjoy interacting with dogs to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m going into my first year of college, so I wanted to find something flexible that I would enjoy doing and that would work well around my school schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and are let outside when needed. I also enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel happy and comfortable.
About: I have practice taking care of an elderly terrier with multiple health conditions. I spent 2 months taking care of a corgi, boarder collie, and two cats. I am currently without work for the summer, so I have nearly open availability. The only days that I may be busy is on Thursdays. I am patient when dealing with all sorts of animals. I have not came across a pet that did not get along with me. I love cuddling and playing with animals.
About: I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and even lizards! I've dog sat a handful of times, and I have my own senior dog I love and care for. I’m currently working part time, which is enough time to take care and play with your animals! I would enjoy taking them on walks, to the park to play, or even just cuddle in my free time. I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, and provide them with enough love, care and exercise. If there’s certain needs for them I can gladly get it done.
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14! I am the type to say “one second, I need to go pet that cat/dog!” While owners are away, I believe that animals are so much happier staying with someone in their own home or in someone else’s safe home than in a kennel at a boarding facility! Let me be that safe place for your pet(s)! I am working part time currently, while doing online school, so I am home a lot! I have a dog of my own who often needs lots of attention himself, so I am more than experienced with making sure animals get all of it that they need/want! I have a fenced in courtyard area in front of my house, so there is room to run around for pets who stay in my home, and I also have a pet play area to take the animals to! If your pet likes to go for walks, we have a great route for walks! I especially love caring for pets in their own home because I feel that they are always most comfortable there! I always want them to be happy!
About: **I have base access.** I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have five dogs, ranging from 1 to 9 years old and from small to large breeds, and all five have successfully completed the Canine Good Citizen course. I also have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old. Caring for my pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, training, and, most importantly, giving each animal the love and individual attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and currently only work two days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and give them the time and attention they need while their owners are away. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I believe staying in their own home can make your time away much less stressful for them because their routines, food, toys, sleeping areas, and everything they’re used to are already in place. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection. My goal is to make your time away as easy and comfortable as possible for both you and your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gravel Ridge
Michelle is better then great! Not only is she an amazing human, she is an animal whisperer! This is the second time we've used her and our girl loves her so much! She is prompt, listens to requests, and goes out of her way to help out! She gives undivided attention to your babies and any special requests she was able to accommodate for us! Please book with Michelle, please tip her, and please leave a review! She deserves it!
Ella did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties over the holidays! She thoroughly read the instructions I left her, paid good attention to detail, and kept the house clean. She even cleaned the sink, which was a pleasant surprise! She managed my cats' different dietary needs, including supplements and loading an automatic feeder, and handled one of the cats puking multiple times like a champ (on Christmas, no less!). She was highly communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated. She's also a great picture taker! She sent pictures in the Rover Cards that really captured my cats' personalities. That showed me they felt comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gravel Ridge. 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 Gravel Ridge. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
