“Second time using Tara and she was fantastic! Will definitely be using her in the future. She was sending cute good morning texts as if they were from my dog. It’s nice to know my baby was taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about a thing or feel the need to check in!”
“Paula was absolutely wonderful with our 10-year-old Lab! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and cared for him with the same love and affection she would give her own pet. Her daily photo updates and thoughtful messages gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax while we were away. She was equally respectful and attentive to our home, leaving everything in impeccable condition. We genuinely appreciated her thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our sweet boy and our home. We will absolutely use Paula again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!”
“Meredith is the best! She stayed with our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and brought us so much peace of mind. She sent regular pictures and updates, took special care with our anxious pup, and left the house in better shape than she found it. Highly recommend her for any pup needs!”
About: I have taken care of animals of different ages and sizes over the course of my pet sitting career. I pride myself in individualized care for the different animals and taking the time to interact and get to know the animals in my care! While I do work a full time job, I have flexibility with my start and end times with my work and can leave on lunch to check in with your animals. I am sure to set aside time to take animals on walks and take lots of time to play! I currently do not have any pets in my home, so the pets in my care would get very individualized care if they stay with me. When I house and pet sit, I am also sure to maintain cleanliness within the home!
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
About: I’m a Gallatin local with three dogs of my own, so I know what it’s like to hand over your pet to someone else, you want to know they’re actually going to get attention, not just be tolerated until you’re back. On walks and visits, I stick to your dog’s routine, not mine, feeding times, potty schedule, medication, all of it. You’ll get photo updates so you’re not left wondering how things are going. I have a fenced yard at home for boarding stays, and I treat every dog in my care the way I’d want mine treated. I work a flexible day job, so I have real availability for walks, drop-ins, and boarding — not just squeezed-in gaps. I currently work full-time during the day; but my job can be flexible leaving room to care for your babies whenever my services are needed. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a warm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I prioritize comfort and safety by providing a designated space where they can relax and feel secure. Daily routines include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise, ensuring they stay active and engaged. I also offer personalized attention, whether it’s cuddling, training, or interactive games. Maintaining a clean and organized space is essential, so I ensure all areas are tidy, litter boxes are clean, and fresh water is always available. With my experience, I monitor their health and behavior closely, providing updates to owners and ensuring their pets receive the love and care they deserve while away from home. Caring for pets in clients’ homes involves several key practices: 1. Routine Maintenance: I follow the established daily routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. 2. Personalized Attention: I take time to engage with each pet, offering companionship and activities tailored to their preferences, whether it’s playtime, cuddling, or training exercises. 3. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on each pet’s health and behavior, promptly noting any changes and ensuring any medications are administered as needed. 4. Safety First: I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and supervising pets during playtime. 5. Regular Updates: I provide pet owners with regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep them informed and reassured while they’re away. 6. Clean Environment: I maintain a clean space by tidying up after the pets, ensuring litter boxes are cleaned, and fresh water is always available. These practices help create a loving, safe, and familiar environment for pets while their owners are away.
“Jemima was a life saver . Suddenly needing a dog sitter while I attended a close friend’s wedding, she came to my aid . My 3 dogs loved her . She came to the hotel and stayed with my plott hound/ Pitt mix ,9 mo old standard poodle puppy and 11 year old toy poodle mix . She was immediately at home with them , sent videos to show my shy puppy warming right up to her and she treated my toy poodle mix like the princess she thinks she is . She arrived promptly, was professional, and followed my instructions to the letter . I would absolutely use her again .”
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful with my baby BubbieLoo! He requires medicine for his Epilepsy and she was great with meds and giving me lots of updates. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Rob was amazing with my little LaKoya and TaKoda ( huskies) . He went above and beyond even rode the storm out with them so they were not there by themselves. He truly has compassion for the care of animals. I recommend Rob highly and would definitely use him again as my littles liked him.”
“Maggie did an amazing job house/petsitting for a long weekend. My girls were obviously well-loved while I was away, and she even washed sheets and towels upon her departure. Highly recommend!”
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
“Nishell, communicated really well. Sent updates and pictures throughout her stay. The pups seemed to like her. It was great to be able to go out of town and not worry about the dogs.”
“Amber was wonderful with our fur babies. Our 2 cats took to her right away. She was reliable and trustworthy. Left our home after nearly 3 days just as she found it. Communication was excellent. Will request her again!!!”
“Silvanna was super accommodating to all of my dog's needs. She made us feel very well taken care of and safe, especially as a first time Rover user. All the extra time she spent at the house with Juniper was super appreciated and I would recommend her services to anyone! Thank you Silvanna!”
“We found ourselves in need of house sitting for our 3 young dogs at the last minute and reached out to Sarabeth. She responded very quickly and set up meet and greet the same day. She kept in touch with us daily on how our pups were doing with photos and updates. We left very specific care instructions which she followed to a “T”. When we arrived home our dogs were calm, well behaved and happy! This is our first time using in house pet sitting and Sarabeth made it a stress free and great experience for all of us. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommended her.”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs and other people's dogs for many years. Have experience with different temperaments and energy levels. Dogs are wonderful! I work full-time Monday through Friday. I can drop in to check on your pets and walk them after my shift ends at 5:00 any of those days. I am available on weekends for overnight stays at your home too. We will schedule a meet and greet first. I'll ask for details on feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise needs, vet contact info, and behavioral triggers. I'll request clarification on all household rules. My dog's name is Leo. If you like, I can always bring him with me to socialize with your pets. He's very sweet and friendly. I'll follow the care plan you give me for your pets down to the letter.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m the proud dog mama of a 4 year old bichon frise named Jolene, and I trained her myself starting when I got her at 7 weeks old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. As a full time teacher, I am available full time during the summer and on school breaks. I am also available on weekends and after 4:30 pm year round. Making your dog feel loved and safe is my top priority. I want them to feel comfortable with me being in their home, and I will do what I can to make that transition easy for them. I crate trained my dog early, and I know how important safe spaces are for dogs.

We had a wonderful experience with Megan! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were being loved and well cared for while we were away. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates and photos, which made us feel even more comfortable. It was obvious our dogs were happy, safe, and treated like family. We will definitely use Megans’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gallatin is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 per night. 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.

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 Gallatin 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 Gallatin 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.
Tip: 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 Gallatin 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 Gallatin. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
