“Bethany responded to my desperate need for a last minute request to drop in on my fur babies. I am so grateful that she did. I look forward to continuing to build on this relationship. The communication that she gives during her visit just gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling that your babies are getting the care that you hoped for from a Rover provider. I just hope she is available the next time I am in need.”
“Belinda is such an amazing person and Mitzi LOVES her. She takes such good care of Mitzi and treats her like her own family. I would DEFINITELY have her take care of your fur baby!!”
“Erica never fails to give the BEST care and love to our babies while we travel. She’s so sweet and kind, and we love having such a reliable person to always turn to. ^_^”
“Kayleigh is wonderful with our cats! She takes great care of our home and sends us updates daily. We definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pets cared for while away.”
“Grayson was great with my cats. She fed them and made sure they had water as well as interacted with them. They are a bit shy and she was able to pet them and that really surprised me.”
“Joanne = lifesaver. This was my first experience leaving my cat Smokey with a stranger, and Joanne showed her the same loving care as my family and friends. I appreciated all the notes and pics. Thank you, Joanne!”
“Our dog loved Robin. We used Robin for drop-in visits over a weekend and she was perfect. She did everything we asked and left no trace of having been here. She sent regular photos and updates. We hope our schedules align in the future.”
“Caitlyn is amazing at what she does. She is beyond caring for your pets and goes the extra mile. She is very friendly, reliable, prompt, accommodating and makes booking a breeze, EVEN at the last minute and during busy holiday times! There are so many things I could say that highlight how wonderful Caitlyn is. Our 3 cats received the care and attention they needed, and our house was even kept tidy, (especially since our youngest cat was into tearing up our Christmas decorations, which Caitlyn took it upon herself to clean up every mess). We loved how Caitlyn pays attention to every detail! Before sitting she meets with your family and makes sure that she knows your pet(s): from treats, feeding and routine, down to the way they like to play and interact. We never worried a minute while we were out of town because she has EVERYTHING under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our pets could stay in their own environment and routine. We would HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn and her pet sitting services. She went above and beyond our expectations, she provided photos each day, very detailed Rover cards each day, and gave us brief text updates daily, as well. She is very trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. She was meticulous and detailed, and that was very appreciated. We are so grateful to have found her, especially during a holiday time, and can't wait to utilize her services again when traveling.”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs in my family. I fostered dogs from the local shelter all throughout college and pet sit for a few neighbors each month. I love animals and would love to help care for yours! Being active and attentive is important to me in caring for your animal. I can walk, play, dog sit, feed and let your furry friends out for you at an affordable price. I have a flexible schedule as well. I have been helping out with my neighbor’s dog for almost a year now so I have a credible reference if needed. I have lots of energy and love for animals so feel free to reach out anytime if you need some care for your pet. Since I work for myself, I have a flexible routine and can be available for regular drop-ins, walks, or extended care depending on what you need. I’m able to schedule visits consistently throughout the day and week, and I’m always focused on keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m based in Gulf Shores and I’m happy to travel to surrounding areas for pet care. I take safety and trust seriously and always care for pets based on their normal routine and your specific instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, leashes and harnesses are properly fitted, and pets are supervised during potty breaks and playtime. I keep feeding schedules consistent, refresh water, and keep the space clean (including litter boxes). I’m also mindful of things like heat, sidewalks, and outdoor safety on walks. I’ll send regular updates and photos, and if anything seems off—like changes in appetite, behavior, or energy—I’ll reach out right away.
“Mary was the perfect drop-in sitter for my two pups! She gave them plenty of outdoor exercise and attention, fed and made sure they had plenty of clean water and in general gave them plenty of positive attention. I will be a regular customer from now on!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and birds since I was 13. Nothing professional but experienced in animal care and daily tasks for your pets! I currently work 8am to 4pm from home so I am available throughout the majority of the week, except Sundays and nights past 6 or 7pm. I have a big yard for a lot of running and I have a friendly and energetic pup that would love to keep yours company!

I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each dog, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, administering medications, or ensuring they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m skilled at creating a fun, engaging environment that helps dogs feel at ease. I keep pet owners updated with regular updates and photos to reassure you that your pup is in great hands. My commitment is to provide a loving and safe environment, so you can relax knowing your dog is getting the care and attention they deserve. I’m available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the day on weekends. Whether you need evening walks, overnight stays, or full-day care on the weekends, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Shores
This was our first time using Rover. Graham’s drop ins for our 9 month old kitten were consistent, detailed and thorough. She provided pics and stories of her visits. This was a perfect option instead of taking kitty out of her element and placing her in a kennel. And the cost was about the same. Thank you Graham!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gulf Shores on Rover is $21.09 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 263 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gulf Shores. 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 Gulf Shores. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
