“Tara watched our pups for an extended stay while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon and was great! Excellent communication across the board and kept us up to date daily with updates, photos, etc. she made sure our house was nice and cleaned up upon our return, and I know our dogs were in excellent hands. She did a great job as well with one of our dogs who was dealing with some anxiety while we were away which led to some accidents etc. would highly recommend for any pet care!”
“Kay is always fantastic with my dog, cat, and my home. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure my babies are taken care of. She always goes above and beyond even when there is a huge ice storm and the power goes out!! I highly recommend!”
“We could not be more pleased with how wonderful Paula was with our German Shepherd! We highly recommend Paula to anyone who needs an a pet sitter! Not too many people I know can handle a big German Shepherd and she did an amazing job, taking such good care of him! Our boy Maui loved her from the moment he met her and that says a lot, because if Maui doesn't like you, he will let you know! Paula also keeps you updated daily with professional looking photos, she has an eye for photography as well! What a relief it was for us to be able to find Paula, as we are newer to the area and do not have family close by to help. I would give her a 100 stars!”
“Wehad a meet and greet with Ami before the actual booking and I just knew she was the right fit for Kevin. We had great communication while I was gone and she sent me the cutest pictures as well. If you are looking for a reliable sitter, look no further than Ami! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Simone was very attentive and understanding of my dogs timid behavior and her routine for walks and potty breaks. She provided me with pictures and updates when I asked and was a great person to help take care of Reese during my trip out of town.”
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.
“Brittany did a wonderful job. She was great with keeping me updated on how things were going and sent some wonderful pictures. She was extremely helpful and easy to work with. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of my dog Paisley alongside my family for the past 14 years, I walk her, feed her, and occasionally give her medicine. Im currently available Tuesday-Friday of the week to care for your dogs, I can walk, feed, or stay to keep them comfortable while you're gone. Caring for pets in other people's homes I follow all the rules that layed out for me. Im always on time and never leave houses a mess.
“Charity did an excellent job caring for our dog and cat while we were away on vacation. She followed all of our instructions and left the house in great shape which was so nice to come home to! Will be booking again!”
About: I am in the vet program at a local college and have worked with animals in school; Including dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I love taking care of animals and don’t care about messes or sick. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter and have learned basic care. I’ve always had large dogs and currently have 2 dogs: a large and a small dog. I have a leopard gecko too and would love to take care of any reptiles/amphibians! I have classes Monday-Thursday and Fri-Sunday I am free all day. I just need a few days notice to make sure I stay free to take care of your pets! I love to go on walks and so your dogs will get exercised! I will take them out regularly and do not mind cleaning up messes or sick.
“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”
“Cassie does a great job taking care of our "old lady"! Our cat is so much more like herself since Cassie started sitting with her when we are away instead of drop-in visits. She is also a great communicator.”
About: I have had numerous pets over the years... I love to cuddle, play, and take care of them. I pick up cues on body language, and can build a strong relationship with them. I enjoy showing them affection and taking walks with them, even the dog parks, if that is alright with you. I enjoy all animals and would be happy to take care of yours, and love them as if they were my own during the time I have them. Please let me know of any particular things they like to do! I will do my best to find a way to do it with them...such as feeding habits, their favorite toys, walks, tummy rubs, I can't wait to enjoy your baby. Thank you!
“Kelly was so amazing!! She was very communicative and made sure to send me lots of pictures. I am pretty sure she even vacuumed which I was not expecting but so grateful. I would absolutely book with her again and plan on doing!”
“Stacie was great with our pups. She provided regular updates and made sure Bella was as comfortable as possible during a heavy rain storm. Would definitely recommend Stacie.”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gallatin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gallatin on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gallatin. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
