About: I've been doing Drop in visits and walking in the Almaden area for 4 years and now I live in Gilroy. Looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry friends. Dogs and Cats 👍 ( I do not offer boarding✌️) I have a sheep farm and can step away at my leisure with proper scheduling. I found dog care/walking to be an excellent fit for me. I'm pretty flexible but I work best with a schedule. (I do not offer boarding✌️) The safety and well-being of your family and home is paramount. I have many references, I like to get in get the job done and get out🫡

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular care, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat prefers a quiet check-in, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and give pets the care and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication instructions when needed. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. 🐾

About: I grow up with dogs and pets in my home and animals have always been a big part of my life. Having had a senior dog myself has taught me a lot so I have a lot of experience administrating medications and routines. But also we now have a puppy that is full of energy and have a very different and varied personality and routine. I had the opportunity to work with all types of dogs and cats. From all ages and breeds. I’m a full time dog sitter and I love it. So when I have a booking and spend all of my time with them, walking, playing, training, napping, meals, etc. I love go take pictures and videos that I send my clients so they can see what I’m doing. I have a puppy of 6 months that it’s super sweet and loving. He will make sure your dog has an amazing play time with us. We live in front of a park that is perfect for walks and play time.
About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.
About: I have taken care of a large variety of pets, including cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and rodents. They have ranged from newborn to elderly, and I have experience with pets with behavioral and medical concerns. I have worked in a professional capacity as a dog groomer and in a boarding facility, and trained my own puppy, Maisie! I've been petsitting since I was young, starting with neighbors and family, and animal care remains one of my greatest passions. I'm excited to meet your beautiful pets! At this time, I'm not offering overnight services, because my own puppy is too young to be left alone at night. Throughout the day I am available to dedicate my energy to making sure your pet is happy and having all of their needs met ♥️ As a pet owner myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to be away from your pets. For that reason, I make sure that I know exactly the routine and requirements you're looking for in a sitter, and I keep regular communication with you — both to ensure your expectations are met and to share updates and cute photos of your furbabies whenever requested. I know how central my pets' well-being is to my life, and the safety and happiness of your beloved companions are no less important to me.

“Sara did a great job for their first drop-in engagement with Leo and Phoebe. They followed directions well, including play time, administering medication, feeding, litter box hygiene and sending me updates. They were easy to communicate with and helped to transition Leo to new food and medication while I was out of town. I will be rebooking them. Thanks Sara!”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”


“Eleanor was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. She was friendly and open and very supportive with us, and a very kind and thoughtful companion to our cat when we left. We absolutely appreciated and loved the daily communication from her, including pictures. When we needed an extra day of help she was also very amenable and willing to come in. When we came back from a long day of traveling we were thrilled to see that the place looked better than we had left it -- Eleanor really picked up after herself and our cat and everything was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend Eleanor to anyone who is needing a pet sitter.”

“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with Shannon. She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. Not only she carefully followed all of our instructions, including administering medications and providing extra attention to some of our kitties when needed. She truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable, happy and healthy. Throughout our time away, Shannon was in regular contact with us and provided thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties. We could enjoy our trip knowing that someone really cared about our pets.”

“Tillana is the best!!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for vacation. Because of her, we fully enjoyed our Christmas vacation without worrying about our cats at home. Even though we put in the request at the last minute, she asked great questions beforehand, and closely communicated with us during her first visit so that she could quickly get to know our cats on a short notice! She is energetic, detail oriented, patient and truly cares about the fur babies! She always shares updates with great details and sends us lots of videos and pictures! Our older cat Luna has some skin issues and needs ointment twice a day. I was worried at first since Luna is usually very shy to strangers and wouldn’t let other people pet/touch her easily. Tillana really went above and beyond, spending time bonding with our cats, and was able to give Luna medicine with no problem! Both of our kitties started to get cuddly within just a couple of visits! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we will definitely come back to Tillana next time we are away. I highly recommend her!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Old Gilroy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,024 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Old Gilroy. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
