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.
“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.”
“Miles was absolutely AMAZING! Dude and Bunny were so well loved. He took care of them impeccably! Steve and I are overjoyed to have found someone we can trust with our "fur babies." They are 11 now and need a bit more TLC for aging hips and some vision issues. Miles was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and updated us every morning. When you want to travel without worrying about your beloved 4-legged friends, MILES is SUPERB! Could not have asked for a finer human to sit and stay with our pups!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. With friends, family, and working at Petsmart as a pet groomer and in the boarding facilities. I have a dog and cat of my own. I am at home and available on full days as I work as an online therapist. Because I create my own schedule this allows me flexibility to care for the dogs that I am boarding or sitting. When visiting your space I am respectful and caring of your space. I am mindful of your pet’s needs and will engage in your requests to the best of my ability. My home is well maintained and regularly cleaned. We have a large patio and play yard. We might have multiple dogs at a time therefore we ask that your dog/s are fully vaccinated. If your dog does not play well with others then let us know so that we can make sure to keep them separate from the others.
“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.”
About: I have always had pets in the home. I have watched a lot of animals over the years & I even make sure the family comes back to a clean home. You wont even know I was there. I currently only work part time from 8 AM - 2 PM so there is plenty of time to play with the dogs/cats. I don't do much on the weekends so I would be at the house most of the time! I live with 2 dogs myself now & I love to cuddle with them & play. I currently do not watch dogs in my own home but would love to come to yours. This also helps so the dogs/cats are comfortable in their own space.
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.
“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!”
“Dawn was wonderful! She helped our family out after another sitter canceled last minute. She adjusted her schedule To meet us within a few short hours from our first contact. She then adjusted her schedule, which I am sure made it tricky, to help us in our time of need. And most importantly our pups loved her! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I have one puppy and she is working on becoming service dog who will love more friends to play with I work part time as a delivery driver. I will have plenty of time to walk and spend time with your babies including taking them to the park and baths. I will watch your babies in my house which I prefer because I have two small child. One who needs to have a schedule and does not do well with random people.
“Amber was great with Goose, we’ll definitely be repeat customers! She checked in frequently and wasn’t afraid to ask questions (when I forgot to tell her something haha). Very courteous and respectful of our house while we were away. Goose loved her and will look forward to her next visit. Amber worked around my schedule to pop over for a meet and greet, which was much appreciated! Thanks Amber!”
“Sarabeth was very knowledgeable and did a great job with Jasmine and Jasper and left the house just as it was when we left. She even came earlier than planned at the last moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was wonderful! She sent us photos of our dogs throughout the house sit and left us a detailed note which was appreciated. She left our house very clean as well. We would work with Jessica again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have always had a special love for pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care.

I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving your pets the attention they deserve.

About: I love to keep most pets on routine whether it’s feeding times, potty breaks, or playtime! It’s important to implement these so pets have standard routine I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can be needed whenever and wherever to fill gaps where pets need the most care. I can work most days except Sundays. I have gates that block off certain areas in the house where pets are not allowed to go near or in. For example: dining areas and gates at the stairs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gallatin
Highly recommend Tara! She watched our Chocolate Lab while we were gone for 4 days and she went above and beyond. She was very reliable, kept us updated with pictures, great communication, walked the dog, cleaned up after him, and cleaned up prior to leaving our house. Its awesome to come home from vacation and our house doesn't look any different than the way we left it. So huge shout out to Tara! Book her for your dog sitting needs. We will be using her again.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Gallatin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 per night.

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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
