“Becky was amazing! First and foremost she took amazing care of Ollie, he adored her!! She also was super great with communication. I got the cutest pics and videos of their time together, which was so appreciated. I would recommend Becky to anyone!!”
“As always Kelly is great. I have two additions to my household - two kitties! She didn’t miss a beat and took great care of all of the babies. I will continue to book with Kelly!”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. For family dog, friends, and of course myself. I always have fun taking them for a walk, playing fetch, interactive games for cats, giving them treats, snuggles, cuddles and lots of love. And I’m excited to meet my next puppy/kitten friend. I’m currently working full time. Any drop in visit after 6:30pm on some weekdays and anytime on weekends. * If you are around St. Pete Downtown/Central Oak Park area and need any drop in visit or a walk during the week before 6:30PM, I’m open to chat since I have a free hour during the day. * I live in an apartment complex. There is, what I called, a florida room which is an open spare room with plenty of space to make it comfortable for your pet.
“Zach was great with our dog. Win is high energy and can be pretty quirky. Zach dealt with him like a pro. I would definitely recommend him and we will definitely use him again when we travel.”
“Christina has been amazing. Ibwas really worried about our Sadie being able to be around anyone without us home, but Christina has made friends with her and has eased my mind greatly”
About: Aside from the dog I used to have and take care of, off of the app I often pet sit my friends and family’s animals. I just quit my restaurant job to look for a career job so my schedule is wide open and very flexible! Any time of day works for me. Right now I don’t have the option of caring for pets at my house available, but I will follow whatever instructions needed to provide the proper care for your pets in your home!
“Constance was an amazing sitter, we booked her last minute and she was able to help out no problem. She took all our directions really well and our 2 pups loved her. We got tons of pics and updates throughout her stay! She’s amazing!!”
“Zach is amazing! He has a heart for animals and took incredible care of our old Jack Russell. He followed the requested schedule to the letter and sent wonderful pictures along the way! He was very respectful of our space and went above and beyond by washing his sheets and towels for us before leaving! We will definitely be rebooking with Zach!”
“Mr. Jason was absolutely amazing in taking care of my husky. He followed all my instructions and went above and beyond, taking my boy on walks down the trail. If you want someone who will be attentive to your dogs needs and provide them with all the love, cuddles, and attention, this is the sitter to book. I have booked several sitters before on this app, but I dont think my boy has ever loved and missed a sitter before. He definitely misses hanging out with mr Jason.”
“Daniel was amazing with our dog while we were away over the weekend. His veterinary expertise was much appreciated regarding some of our pup’s silly habits! He provided consistent updates while taking great care of our guy. Highly recommend!”
“Jolie was amazing! She went above and beyond for us. Our dogs were happy and fulfilled. She gave us regular updates with photos which was wonderful. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We are leaving the country for two weeks soon and I could not be more relieved that Joli is watching them - I know they will be in trusted hands when we are gone!”
“We are so grateful that we found Tori! She watched our cats while we were out of town for a family event. Our cats can be quite skittish with strangers, but they warmed up to Tori almost immediately at our meet and greet. During our trip, she provided regular updates and pictures. She also followed our instructions perfectly. When we returned, both our cats were in very happy moods and seemed playful. Our home was spotless. I would definitely recommend Tori for looking after your little ones! Thank you again :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gandy
Michaela was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog and two cats! She sent photos and updates of all three every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of my home and personal belongings. I would recommend her 10/10 and will definitely book with her again!
From the moment Melody walked in to meet our dogs we knew she was going to be great! You can tell she loves dogs and she really cares about them being happy and safe. She was diligent about learning their routine and understanding their needs. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and both dogs loved her. I highly recommend Melody if you are looking for a responsible, professional, person who genuinely will love your pet.
Madison was absolutely wonderful! I needed her last minute, and she was more than willing to help. Very communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me updated on how my sweet boy was doing, giving me peace of mind. She knew exactly what to do, and I could tell Radar loved her instantly!
Kylie did a fantastic job. My high energy Aussie doodle absolutely loved Kiley. Kylie kept in good touch with me, fed her on her schedule with her raw dog food diet, and sent pictures of her playing with Frankie and walking her. When I came home it was like nothing even changed. I definitely recommend Kiley and will be using her for myself again too thank you!
Emma was absolutely fantastic with her care and support for my sweet cat Juno. I took an extended trip and Emma stepped in to look after my home as well as taking such great care of Juno. She looked after all the details around the house during my time away, and left everything in spotless condition upon my return. I could not be happier to have met Emma and the service she provided - I cannot recommend her more highly to anyone for both animal care and house sitting - Emma is absolutely the best!
Sara was so amazing with my Ella! I went away on a short weekend getaway. I felt so comfortable. Not once did I worry about Ella. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures along the way. In fact, Ella was so sad when she left. She only gets that way with her sisters. It was so sweet! I will absolutely rebook with her whenever I need a sitter again. So happy! 💜💜

FAQs for House Sitting - Gandy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gandy on Rover is $46.62 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 4,258 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gandy. 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 Gandy 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 Gandy 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 Gandy 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
