“Carolina was excellent. She agreed to a last-minute request on our behalf due to a funeral. She was very prompt and thorough. Carolina took the time to try to coax out two very shy kitty cats. We will definitely use her in the future if her schedule allows.”

“Jessica was very communicative with me during the week+ catsitting. She was great with my cat who is a little private and not happy when strangers watch her. She did very good to make Ms Feta (the cat) feel comfortable and taken care of.”

About: I have taken care of puppies all the way up to 18 year old elderly dogs. I have a lot of patience for dogs that may be shy or timid, and need that extra special caring person. But i also love going for dog walks ! I am dedicated to working with pets and whatever they may need. I love doing overnight care but also enjoy going for dog walks when needed I love when pet parents leave me a guide for their pets. This helps the pet stay on their routines and feel as comfortable as can be.

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility. I am off during the summers, holidays, weekends, spring breaks, etc. I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my school counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for ALL holidays, weekends, and last minute availability:) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: I've spent almost a lifetime taking care of cats and dogs, and I find the bond between animal and owner to be one of the most powerful things on earth. I've been called upon to care for friends and families to pet-sit for them many times throughout my life. I currently have an open weekday schedule so I'm fully available for any and all of your pets basic needs. Weekends are also fully available. Pet safety is a top priority for me, all feeding and walking instructions will be precisely followed. I like to spend a little extra time with pets during feedings just to observe and give them company.

“Jenny was WONDERFUL with our cat Latte! This was Latte’s first overnight with a Pet-Sitter, and it went better than we could have hoped. Jenny was so warm and caring, and her regular updates & photos gave us a great peace of mind while we were away. She took really good care of Latte, and even left our home cleaner than when we had left it! We would happily book Jenny again!”

About: Hi, Im Alexa! I am 26 and I’m from Indiana. I moved to Florida just recently and I currently work part time and would love to meet new furry friends. I have always loved animals and have had many pets during my life. I have had 4 cats, 2 dogs, and rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I have gained most of my experience dog sitting through my family members. I currently take care of my cousins’ golden doodle and cocker spaniel twice a year since 2020. I have also dog sat my grandparents’ corgi multiple times. I do have some experience farm sitting for rabbits and chickens as well. I am open to whatever needs are necessary for keeping your pets happy and look forward to meeting them. :) I am currently working part time, 4 days a week for around 5 hours a day. I am available 3 days out of the week or longer if my part time schedule will not affect the sitting. If any questions about scheduling please feel free to reach out. :) Your wish is my command! Whatever is necessary to keeping your pets happy and healthy, I am willing to do! Walks, lots of potty breaks, food schedules, medication, cuddles, etc. As long as everything is noted, I am happy to be there

About: Hi! I have been working with pets for 15 years now. I started in doggy daycare and have since worked as a vet tech and professional dog groomer. Comfortable with any medication administration. I’m happy to hang with your pet on the couch or walk/run your dog on request. My work schedule is flexible and I would be happy to work with you based on your pets’ needs! Reach out, I’d love to work with you! I will treat your home as if it is my own! No request is too silly. I understand spicy cats and behavioral dogs can be nervous with someone coming into their home. I will do my best to make everyone comfortable.

“Anna B. is the best! We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover. Anna took good care of our cat while we were gone for the week. She took care of his needs and constantly updated me with photos and messages. While taking care of him, my cat needed veterninary care. She did not hesitate to bring him for an exam. Anna is a kind and compassionate person who loves animals. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to take care of your pet. The next time we go out of town, we will definitely call upon her services. We couldn't ask for anyone better for the job. Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my fur baby.”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Gulf Gate Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gulf Gate Estates is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gulf Gate Estates. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulf Gate Estates. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
