“Megan is everything that you look for in a Sitter, but never find. Megan and my Bichon bonded immediately. Lexi doesn't roll over for a belly rub until she is really comfortable with someone, and that usually takes being around that person a number of times, but she rolled over and wanted a belly rub the first time Megan was here to watch her. Megan remembered everything that we had gone over at the Meet & Greet. She was on time for the Sitting. It's normally hard to leave your dog with someone new, but I was 100% comfortable leaving Lexi with Megan, as I saw how they adored each other. Megan sent some really cute pictures of Lexi, which I really enjoyed seeing. I had complete trust in Megan, which is a great feeling, as it usually takes a little bit of time to build this level of trust. I couldn't be happier, and feel very fortunate to have found such an amazing Sitter for Lexi. I already have Megan scheduled to watch Lexi 2 more times in the very near future. If you want to have peace of mind and know that your pet is being taken care of by an incredible Sitter, I highly recommend Megan.”
“Megan was wonderful. She sent photos and updates multiple times daily. She's very personable and bonded with my Pomeranian and Orange Tabby. She took very good care of my four cats and dogs while I was on vacation for 9 days. She came to my home twice for a meet and greet before I left to familiarize herself with my pets and the house. I will definitely use her again next year if she's available. I highly recommend! 👍❤️”


“Emma was great with our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. I got multiple updates with photos and our girls were obviously comfortable with her. We came home to a clean house, she even had our bedding in the wash when we got home. We definitely recommend with her and will keep her on our short list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Gretchen helped us with an emergency need for house sitting. She took good care of all our animals, especially our rambunctious young dogs, and kept in touch with us all weekend. We would recommend her.”

“Shelby was amazing with our girl and gave us frequent updates and photos while we were gone! I had no doubts our dog was in the best hands, 10/10 recommend and will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: I’ve had five dogs of my own and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, including my beloved dachshund who was paralyzed and used a wheelchair. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and throughout my life, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, medicate, and love their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I believe they deserve patience, affection, and individualized attention. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, so whether your pup prefers “sit” or “siéntate,” they’re in good hands! Paws, kisses, and bilingual wishes! I work full-time, but part of my work is remote, which gives me flexibility and availability to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I understand how important consistency and companionship are for animals, and I do my best to arrange my schedule around their individual needs. I am willing to house sit and stay overnight. When caring for your pets, I follow your instructions closely, maintain their familiar routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay attention to their individual personalities, preferences, and needs, especially when caring for senior pets or those requiring extra assistance. Although I am happy to crate or confine your pet if that is what you feel they need, I will cuddle and spend time with your pet just as if you were home and in town. As a former real estate agent and the owner of my own home construction and remodeling company, I understand just how important it is to respect someone’s home. I’m extremely particular about cleanliness, security, and treating every property with the same care and attention I would give my own. You can trust that both your beloved pets and your home will be treated with the utmost respect, responsibility, and care. I’m also a gardener and am happy to care for your houseplants and greenery while you’re away. I understand that plants need individualized attention, too, and I’ll make sure they receive the proper watering and care. And don’t forget, plants are living beings and our leafy little pets too. Rest assured, they’ll receive the same love and attention and I won’t neglect them.
“Sydney was great! She met with us last minute and stayed with our guys while we were away. She sent pics and kept us updated all weekend. Everyone was very well taken care of and happy! We will definitely have Sydney over again when we go out of town!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager, providing pet care and sitting services to friends, neighbors and family. I'm the person who will immediately try to help if I find an unattended dog and make every effort to reunite the good boy or girl with their family. I'm currently between careers and looking to earn some extra money doing something I've always loved as I train for the next phase of my life. I've learned from my own dogs that consistency and routine are essential to helping them feel safe and regulated. I'll make every effort to follow your dog's usual routine and rituals to keep them feeling loved until your return.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old! From frogs and lizards, to rabbits and hamsters, to cats and dogs, caring for animals has always been my passion. I studied Marine Biology in college and began volunteering in the community as a dog walker and cat caretaker for the humane society. After graduating, I went straight into veterinary medicine, spending 5 years in emergency and critical care before transitioning into veterinary oncology, where I’ve spent the last 2 years caring for pets through some of their toughest moments. I then passed my boards to be a certified VT. For me, THIS has never just been a job. ❤️ I do this because I genuinely love animals and want every pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m here for you & your pets! ❤️ They’re my best friends too! 🐾🤍 I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. For dogs: I love taking dogs on peaceful park adventures for fresh air and exercise, choosing quiet times with no other dogs around to keep outings comfortable, safe, and stress-free. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack! Cats: They deserve a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease! 🐱🤍 I strongly believe in creating a low-stress environment and letting every cat settle in at their own pace, with plenty of patience, love, and respect for their individual personality. Your kitty will have their own room to relax, a cat tower to climb, toys galore, and fresh catnip on hand for extra fun! 🌿 If your cat enjoys socializing, my very friendly resident cat and small dog are happy to offer some company, too. Whether your baby is a playful little explorer or a shy snuggle bug who needs extra time to feel at home, I’ll tailor their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.
“Chelsea did a great job taking care of my animal family! My dog has special needs and she handled them perfectly! Also my dog instantly liked her, he could tell she’s an animal lover and I knew he’d be in good hands. She keeled me posted on how things were going which made it easier while being away! Highly recommend her!❤️😁”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have about 13 years of experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I genuinely love animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me! As a rescue dog owner myself, I’m also comfortable caring for dogs who may be anxious, shy, or need a little extra patience while adjusting to new people and environments. I’m currently studying full-time for my CPA exams, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with someone caring for your pet. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other needs. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.
“James took such great care of my puppy. He kept me updated daily, sent lots of pictures and definitely put her at ease in my absence. She was in great shape when we arrived home. I highly recommend James”

I will treat your furry-friend as if they were my own and continuously spoil them during our time together!
“Angel was the best sitter we could have asked for. They were great with Addie from the moment they met. We were able to really enjoy our weekend away knowing Addie was in great hands. 100% would book Angel again! Thanks again, Angel.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gambles is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,360 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gambles. 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 Gambles 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 Gambles 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 Gambles 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 Gambles. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
