“We can’t thank Erica enough for her incredible care of our pets over Christmas. She went above and beyond, sharing photos to keep us updated, being attentive to every detail, and caring for our sweet pups. Her reliability and thoroughness gave us such peace of mind during the holidays. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”

She was so understanding and accommodating, she took care of modifying the schedule each time! Our dogs love her and we would highly recommend her! She treats our pets as she would her own!! Thanks Belinda! You are the best!! :)”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.
“Caitlin is so sweet and very reliable! I have used her for many years. She takes great care of my three cats and goes above and beyond doing extra cleaning up after them. I love her daily updates and photos!”
About: I have had dogs in my house ever since I was a small child and have taken care of them and trained them in crates, bathrooms, etc. I help friends whenever they need me to come check on their pets or keep them at my place and enjoy being around animals. I currently work 8:30-5:00 full time but I have somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home some weeks. Even when I am in the office I would be able to leave for a visit or two during the work day. I have a very nice common area and will be happy to walk your dog as much as they need. I also have a 7 month lab pup named Rico who is the best boy and would love to play with your pup. He has been great with other dogs so far but can be a little hyper.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. If I have a time blocked off you need, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you on anything. I’m also open to adding basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims if needed🐾 I’m currently working and attending college so my availability would usually include mornings and nights on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & as of right now Saturday and Sunday. However I am available in the morning, afternoon, and nights on Monday and Wednesday until approximately October! I’ll always respect and care for your home and fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any given instructions you leave for your pet and I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away!!
“Lex was amazing! She was so nice to come out and meet me and the animals before the visit, she wrote down notes of what needed to be done when, she was very professional and also such a sweet girl. The visit itself went great! I felt like my animals were well taken care of. The rover cards each day are so nice to receive, I loved getting the photos of our babies while we are away knowing they were taken care of. I 100% will be using lex again!”

About: Hi!! I have had animals my WHOLE life, grew up on a farm so I’ve always been around animals. I have a cat that’s declawed and two kiddos in my home that love meeting new friends. I work from home and would love to help others by dog sitting and/or walking. I’m able to take the dogs out first thing in the morning, lunch time, and 2x in the evenings. I do have a fenced yard for the zoomies and a neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. I look forward to getting to know your family pets and working together :) I take bookings only when I know I will have plenty of time during your pets stay to be sure they’re being walked and supervised while running around the yard. I have a fenced in yard for letting your pets outside and a crate, if your pet is crate trained. I am happy to follow any special instructions that you may have for your pets.
“My babies and I are so thankful for her! She was able to care for them on very short notice when I was not yet home from a work trip! Will definitely have her live on them more often if she will!!”

I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.

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 $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 266 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.
