About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

“Alfonsina was such a great cat-sitter! I hired her to sleep over at my apartment for 2 nights. She met with me ahead of time, was attentive and asked all the right questions, and seemed generally excited to stay with my cats. Right from the start Alfo let me know she was in my apartment and sent me photos. She always made sure to keep me informed and gushed over my pets. She was very communicative and I was never worried or concerned- she kept my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Alfo has a lovely personality and is kind, quiet, and has a easy-going type of personality. She was a pleasure to have over and I'm sure if my cats could talk they'd speak highly of her. When I arrived home from my trip, my apartment was spotless, exactly as I left it- and she went so far as to change the sheets out as well, which went above and beyond what I'd expect. I'll definitely be hiring her again.”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I specialize in providing calm, loving, and reliable care, especially for larger dogs. I’m known in my Gainesville community for being attentive, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to each pet’s comfort and happiness. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so you can expect frequent photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed, and that you feel complete peace of mind. I have been taking care of large dogs for over 20 years, primarily standard poodles but I adore all breeds. I am known in Gainesville's Woodland Villa Apartments complex for my reputation as a great doggy and kitty caregiver. I have worked with several different canine clients, from large Dobermans to medium Pitbulls to a small corgi-beagle mix, I have worked with all sorts of pups! I have 3 cats, one of which turned 22 years old (human years) on October 22, 2025. I have had her and been taking care of her since she was 2 years old. I believe love and extraordinary care can truly make pets happier and last longer. After all, I have seen it with my own! I am happy to spend time with, walk, play, feed, and wholeheartedly love your pet(s) while you are away! I work hard to make it an easy and relaxing process for you, so that you can leave feeling your furry friend is in great hands! I will ask questions and make sure all the details are there, so you don't have to. I also am happy to help with other smaller friends! In my caregiving experience, I have fed frogs, tadpoles, and plants, alongside the dogs and cats! If you have another living creature that needs some attention and upkeep, I am so happy to offer my care as part of my services! **Please look forward to lots of videos, photos, and updates of your happy pet(s)!!!** As a pet owner myself, I know how much it matters to stay connected and updated! You will ALWAYS be in the know! I am super flexible and I am a full time remote student, so I am happy to work on schoolwork while I hang out with your pet(s) for longer stays (up to 8 hours) or I can easily plan my schoolwork around when I will be visiting (I will do this automatically for visits less than 2 hours)! Your preferences are what I will be happy to work around! For all clients, I require a planned meet and greet where I will meet your pet(s) and determine whether we'll be a compatible team. For dogs, I ask to go on a short walk during this time with the owner(s). During this time, we will go over their routine, all no-nos, food, treats, toys, emergency info, and any additional information you think I should know. With your permission, I will record this session of my phone so that I can generate a transcript and make a care routine document for you, so that you won't have to. You will also get a copy of this document that you can pass to others!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Orange Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Orange Heights is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $16 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 460 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Orange Heights. 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 .

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
