“Michaela is truly a cat whisperer extraordinaire! One of my cats became so skittish and Michaela was able to get close to him and engage in play. It was SO reassuring to witness. Michaela's calming disposition and energy are the perfect combination. I can't recommend her enough (and I interviewed many cat sitters...)”

“Carina and Max took care of my son's cat (Monet) for a week. This was the first time Monet was going to a new place and new sitters, my son Beau was very anxious. After picking up Monet, Beau was very pleased and was bugging me to give Carina and Max a 5-star review!!! He is very impressed and grateful for the care that Monet received from the super couple. I met them when we dropped off Monet and afterwards, I told my Beau not worry. These guys just make you feel very comfortable and relaxed, their place was clean and organized, you just know your pet is getting a 5-star accommodation. Thank you Carina and Max!!!!”

“Casey has been great with Grizzly, he is very grumpy and takes some days to warm up to people but Casey had a lot of patience with him. She also made accommodations for him to be in a separate room like I requested and put some rain noise for him. Casey is also very flexible and I appreciate that a lot! I definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 10 years — through walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. I have a big, fully fenced backyard and work from home, so your pup gets attention and companionship all day, never left alone. I’m also the proud owner of a professionally trained Border Collie service dog who’s wonderful with other animals and even helps model calm behavior for younger or more energetic pups. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery (my own had hip surgery on both hips), so I’m comfortable with special-needs care too. Reliable, patient, and genuinely in love with animals — your dog will be treated like family! I work remotely from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day — I’m around and attentive throughout, with plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. I’m flexible with timing and can adjust to whatever your pet’s routine needs, including early mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends. Because I’m home so much, boarding guests are rarely left alone and always have company. My home has a big, fully fenced backyard, so dogs can play and explore safely. I have a professionally trained Border Collie (my husband’s service dog) who is calm, gentle, and great with other animals, making a welcoming environment for your pet. I keep a clean, secure space and always follow each pet’s feeding, medication, and exercise routine closely. For visits in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions exactly, sending regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

This time I could not make it home on time so I ask Hanna if she could jump in for another drop by and without any hesitation she took care of Marla for another day. Thanks Hanna !”

About: In my undergrad I got the opportunity to take care of many sweet and loving cats. All with various personalities and play styles. Roommates and friends entrusted me with caring for their cats when they went home or on vacations. I follow all rules given to me by owners to a T! I would feed the strays in the neighborhood and enjoy just watching them from a far. Im currently looking for weekend jobs as I do have a job I work during the week. However if you need morning drop ins Tuesday and Thursday or afternoon drop after 3 Mondays and Fridays, I can happily help with that as well. I am there to respect you and your baby’s home. Leave out instructions for me and I will follow them closely. I want to learn your baby’s personality and will watch for signs of stress as I know meeting a new person is scary. I will only go in places of your home that I am allowed to.

You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I’ve been born. I love animals so much and I know exactly how to take care of them with love. Animals are so special to owners and I completely understand that. I have both a cat and dog at home, so I know how to care for them. I absolutely adore animals and love caring for them! I can do anytime really, except I have classes Wednesday 4-7 pm and Thursday 1-4 pm. I can easily wake up early in the morning and also do anything late at night. I always make sure my dog gets proper outside time and play time to remain a happy life. For my cat, I know how to clean a litter box and I make sure to give her enough attention.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals through veterinary, grooming, and daily pet care work. I worked in a veterinary hospital where I assisted with basic care, restraint, monitoring vitals, injections, IV fluids, and medications. I’ve also cared for a senior diabetic cat who required regular insulin shots and close monitoring. I have grooming experience including bathing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. In my current role, I work with pets daily, helping owners choose appropriate foods, collars, and supplies while handling animals safely and calmly. I’m comfortable with senior pets, special needs, and maintaining routines. I focus on gentle handling, patience, and making pets feel safe and cared for. My availability can vary slightly from month to month due to a part-time job, with shifts typically lasting 5–6 hours. I’m usually unavailable Sunday mornings, Wednesdays from 2–4 PM and 7–9 PM, and Mondays from 2–4 PM. Outside of those times, my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to ensure reliable care. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Before each booking, I ask owners to leave clear written instructions, and I follow them exactly as provided. For dogs, I make sure they go outside every 2–4 hours, refresh their water at every visit, and provide dedicated playtime and attention. I monitor behavior, appetite, and overall comfort while maintaining their usual routine. For cats, I scoop litter at least every 8 hours depending on the number of cats, refresh food and water, and monitor litter box habits and behavior closely. If I ever have a question or notice anything out of the ordinary, I contact the owner immediately. If I’m trusted with a home key, I keep it secure and on me at all times and respect clients’ homes as if they were my own. Safety, cleanliness, and calm care are always my top priorities.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for large breeds, including my own Rottweiler, as well as two cats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with dogs who have allergies, mobility issues, and sensitive backgrounds, so I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets calm, safe, and comfortable. I’m very active and confident handling dogs of all sizes, including strong or high-energy breeds. Daily care is a big part of my routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining consistent schedules. I also have experience preparing specialized meals and following detailed care instructions, including medications when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently use a scooter for transportation, so I focus on local bookings and do not offer car transport (such as trips to dog parks that require driving). If preferred, I can have my boyfriend assist for extra support—especially helpful for longer stays or multiple pets—but only with your approval. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks during house sitting, such as keeping things tidy, bringing in mail, or basic upkeep. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a key part of my daily and weekly routine. I walk, feed, groom, and play with my dogs every day, making sure they stay happy and healthy. I also prepare homemade meals tailored to their needs, especially because one has allergies and the other has mobility challenges. With my cats, I give them attention and respect their space. I’m organised and committed to providing consistent, loving care for all pets in my life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s familiar environment. I make sure to provide companionship, feeding, exercise, and any medication as directed. I communicate regularly with the owner to update them on their pet’s wellbeing and any concerns.

Priscilla is an excellent communicator, 100% reliable, a lightening fast learner, and demonstrates sensitivity to the separation anxiety experienced by both owner and pets. Priscilla cared for our pets once in the past, and we had total peace of mind again recently, knowing she was there twice a day to care for our little loved ones. Thank you so much, Priscilla..

Gabriela is amazing! We hired her to care for our cats while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. The cats love her. They welcome her at the door and cozy up in her lap like they've known her forever. When we came back, our babies were healthy, happy, and calm. She even wrote us updates about each of them, which meant the world to us because our cats are our babies. We trust her completely and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend! 🐾

I have a rescue cat who experienced trauma when he was a kitten and ever since does not let anyone come near him but me. No other pet sitter has even gotten him to come out of hiding before. But he is so relaxed with Heather and she was even able to pet him! She really is the cat whisperer.

Since I was leaving for 10 days, I really wanted to find someone who would spend the time with Keiki and every photo Syrita sent to me, showed them cozied up to one another!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Gulf Stream

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gulf Stream is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 2,178 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gulf Stream. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
