About: Hi! I’m Evan, and I’m a friendly, responsible, and dependable pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive to their individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply giving them some extra attention and companionship. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I am either at the gym or doing some side work, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days. I’m happy to work with your schedule and would love to help whenever you need! I have had a dog in my family my entire life, had a dog for the last 5 years and have experience caring for dogs in an apartment, including on the top floor. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and will always treat your pet like my own!

“Mariah was fantastic! Our nervous dog has a hard time when we leave and Mariah was so great with him! He was nervous at first but warmed up quickly and was happy to follow her everywhere. She sent regular updates, left the house in perfect condition, and even left a little “doggy report card” which was so nice to come home to. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve loved and raised dogs and cats my entire life, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, energy levels, and unique routines. Today, I care for regular repeat clients who trust me with their pets’ everyday needs from high energy neighborhood walks and feeding schedules to mid day drop ins and occasional in home care. I treat every single pet with the exact same care, safety, and respect as my own. I also am experienced In a variety of animal medicine due to caring for family pets that got sick. Ranging from diabetic cat shots to daily medication and massages for senior dogs with hip and muscle problems. While currently working flexible service industry shifts, my primary goal and passion is growing my dog care business full-time. My schedule offers great flexibility throughout the day—especially mornings and middays for walking, feeding, and sitting. With the intent to be available full time for my clients. I treat every dog's routine with total dedication, consistency, and care. I’ve loved and lived with dogs my whole life, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for comes naturally to me. I bring that same devotion to my clients and their pups every single day. From energetic walks and quick drop in visits to dog park trips and the occasional overnight stay, I always aim to exceed expectations so you have complete peace of mind whenever your pet is with me.

“Doreen went above and beyond while house sitting for my two dogs and cat. She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and set up a meet and greet. My dogs were immediately comfortable with Doreen. She went out of her way to get our mail and take out the trash during her stay. She provided frequent updates and left the house in the same condition it was left in. I will definitely rebook for our next trip! Thanks so much Doreen!”

“Gabby is the most kind, caring and responsible person to watch over your fur babies while you are gone. We have never had a dog sitter before because family were available, but not this time. I was very hesitant and anxious about having someone I do not know, come and stay in my house all night and take care of my precious doggies, for over twelve days ,but Gabby alleviated all of my fears with her continuous communication , photos, and answering my phone calls. My one older dog, Coco proved to be a challenge with her barking and not wanting to have a stranger in our house, but Gabby was able to work with Cocoa and slowly, but surely win her over 😀 Gabby also did so many extras that I never expected. She took our trash out. She made sure to check daily for our mail and the porch for any packages. She left the house spotless; vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning up after the dogs; even watering my flowers on the patio , feeding my fish and filling up the bird feeder with seed. I recommend Gabby with a five star review for anyone that wants to go on a vacation , out of town for business whatever they need to do whether it's for just a few days or several weeks, and know that their fur babies are in loving and responsible hands.Thank you, Gabby you are Extraordinary!”

About: Non smoking house. I typically only host one dog family at a time but please tell me if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs in case I have an emergency booking. I have had puppies, seniors and everything in between. I love all the dogs, big, medium and little! They will be spoiled immensely with me! My husband and 21 year old son are also in the home so I cannot accommodate dogs who are male reactive. I only take spayed or neutered pets. I work from home a lot with a flexible schedule. I always keep an eye on your pet and love to send updates/photos during their stay or a walk. Communication is very important! Let’s schedule a meet and greet soon! Mostly work from home so they are not left alone for long. Only adults at home who know how to interact with and acclimate all visitors! Fenced,safe yard. Will exercise your pet or let them relax as requested. We allow pets on furniture- bring their favorite toys, treats and bones! Updates sent frequently! I also volunteer walking dogs at a nearby shelter so I can handle any size dog while on walks. I’ll give them as much or little exercise as they are accustomed to. Doing a meet and greet helps everyone make sure it’s a good fit!

About: When I was a little kid, my dream job was to be a veterinarian, so you can imagine my excitement when I got into the vet tech program right out of high school. Despite that, I quickly fell flat on my face and decided I couldn’t emotionally handle it. I’m undecided about schooling now, but I’ve never lost the love I have for animals or the desire to work with them in one way or another. I started working full-time at an animal hospital in the boarding & grooming wing for almost 6 years, and I do pet-sitting in my free time! Due to my experiences, I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and cats with all sorts of personalities, behaviors, medications, and disabilities; so I like to believe I can work around just about anything for your pet! Was on hiatus from Rover as I was doing enough pet-sitting locally for people, but I wanted to expand my clientele. Please reach out if interested! I’d love to become one of your pet’s contacts! <3 I left my last workplace due to poor management, so I’m between jobs at the moment meaning I have full availability for the time being! Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know their reactivity to things such as people, other dogs, and any other small animals they might pass on a walk (if applicable) so I know what to avoid to keep your pet’s stress levels down—and mine too! Any quirks you know about your pet as to what they like or dislike. I like to remind people that your pet & I will start as strangers. Please share everything you think I should know!

Madeline took excellent care of my 9-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Lily! Like most Cav's, Lily is a Velcro dog and is constantly looking for pets and attention, which I know that Madeline provided! I would highly recommend Madeline for housesitting!

Kelsey took great care of our 2 boys and then were very happy staying in the house and having her there with them. She respected our property and cleaned up dishes, towels, and sheets before she left. The daily updates allowed us to feel comfortable that everything was going well and the boys were happy. Will definitely utilize Kelsey's services again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Anchor Bay Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Anchor Bay Gardens on Rover is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $33 per night. 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 1,503 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anchor Bay Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Anchor Bay Gardens walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Anchor Bay Gardens maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Anchor Bay Gardens choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchor Bay Gardens. On Rover:

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
