“Megan was excellent and great at communicating with us. It was our first time leaving our pup and I knew he would be nervous but when I met Megan I knew he would respond to her calm and sweet nature. Looking forward to our next booking! Thank you, Megan!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”
“Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.”
“Alina saved our weekend. She was available on short notice and stayed with our dog while we went to a wedding. She was very attentive with Ivy and was very responsive to my multiple texts. Would use her again!”
“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”
About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.
About: From playful puppies to wise seniors, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of every breed, age, and personality. With years of experience nurturing both healthy and special-needs pets, I provide a safe, loving space where tails wag and paws relax. My big yard is perfect for playtime, my cozy home is made for snuggles, and because pet care is my full-time passion, your furry friend will never be left alone. I am available 24/7 currently. I will ensure not to schedule events during your pet's scheduled visit so that they are left alone minimally for weekly errands only. I have a corner lot, on 1/4 acre with a large fenced yard. There are no stairs in my home. I live within 1 mile of a dog park. My lawn is big and we have fruit trees. No pools or items for your pup to get tripped up on or stuck under. We do have a pet pool and sprinklers for playtime and cooling off. I am currently enrolled to be certified for pet first aid and cpr. I treat all my pets with Frontline and have treated my yard for flea control
“Amy was amazing with my little pup! So patient and understanding!! Built a genuine connection with Murphy from the moment they met. She was in constant communication, sent tons of amazing photos! Would 100% recommend”
About: Hey there! I'm from Wilton, and I'm great with animals. What sets my apart is I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life. On top of that I also have chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. So I don't mess around when it comes to animal care. Aside from providing exceptional care with my personal animals, I've also worked at a dairy where I milked the cows, fed them, and spent HOURS of time caring for them- so I'm definitely not new to spending some great time with animals that aren't mine. A lot of people I think come to pet sitting sites to earn some extra cash spending time with YOUR animals because it’s "easy". Truthfully, I'm doing this because I want to ease the anxiety of someone leaving their beloved family members (Yes I'm talking about your pets because they are definitely family) with someone they don't know, and provide others with the same amount of care and love I'd want someone to treat my animals with. My dog has a personal morning routine to get her hyped for the day, so I'm good with animals that need a little extra TLC! I work part time 4 days a week Monday through Thursday 6am-3pm. So for the rest of the day I'm free! I love to be outside and staying active so if your animals love the smell of the outside and having someone play games that get their brain moving- I'd love to help! I also do not work on weekend's so am totally free to pet-sit on weekends and weekdays! I live on 3 acres with friendly dogs, and lots of opportunity for your pets to be around animals they typically wouldn't see! I also have a kennel area if you would prefer that.
“Ashlee is the best! I am beyond happy and satisfied with my experience. Let me start with, I was very hesitant about using Rover, but meeting Ashlee and the relationship she had with my fur babies put my mind at ease. I will use her from now on and refer to my friends and family. She sent me pictures and updates every day, which I loved. She noticed my girl needed her donut to stop licking her paws. Coming home and seeing how well they were taken care of is the best and stress-free.”
“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Gabriela was great with Milo, she came through for us last minute for an evening sitting. Walked milo and took him in backyard to hang out which he loves. Great communication and updates.”
About: Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.
“Lily is amazing! Extremely conscientious, followed all instructions to a T, great communication and sent so many photos. And most importantly, the pups loved her. So happy to have found Lily!”
“Somer was AMAZING!! She came through for me last minute so I could attend a wedding and she watched my puppy who can be a bit of a handful! He loved her and she did such an amazing job! So kind and accommodating, took wonderful care of my pup!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Galt is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $59 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.

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 Galt 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 Galt 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 Galt 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.
