“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!”
“Sara was amazing! Provided plenty of updates and took really good care of our older dog and puppy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to travel out of town without worrying about the pups back home. Thank you!!”
“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”
“Absolutely fantastic. Melanie is extremely responsive and goes the extra mile. She was even able to provide medication to our VERY stubborn cat. It’s so nice to know that we can leave town for work or pleasure knowing our pets will be well taken care of!”
“Zachariah did a fantastic job taking care of my large dog and 2 cats. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional experience and he left my house looks spotless. Would recommend his services to anyone!”
“Christina did a fantastic job. She had great contact with me so I never worried about my babies. She kept my house in great condition. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust to watch my babies in the future. You won’t regret hiring her :)”
“Joli was great! I’m always worried about leaving my dogs with someone new, but she exceeded my expectations and kept me updated with pictures everyday. The house was also exactly how I left it. Will definitely use Joli again for future vacations!”
“Samantha has the kind of warm energy that you want in a person taking care of your animals. I went away with my daughter for a weekend and I hate boarding my animals. Samantha came over and met us and I knew right away should be a good fit for my crew to house sit with them. She kept me posted on how they were doing, sent me lots of pictures, and brought in a package I had delivered unexpectedly- not to mention left my home in perfect condition. I will definitely use Samantha again. Could not recommend her enough!”
“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!!”
About: Long before I started Rover, I’ve always been the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, neighbors, and everyone in between. I’ve gotten tons of gigs over the years from word of mouth alone as my clients know how reliable and trustworthy I am to watch their pups. I work full time remotely from home, so I love to get out of the house during the day! Though I’m also interested in checkins/walks before and after work. I’m always respectful of clients’ spaces - I treat your home as I’d want someone else to treat mine. I do what needs to be done for your pup whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving snuggles.
About: Hi! I’m Ahmed and I’m a proud dog dad to a miniature Goldendoodle named Aries. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they’re treated like family. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my schedule around walks, playtime, feeding routines, and regular potty breaks. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, crate training, and house rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own and always leave it clean and secure.
“We had the best experience with Kerri, who stayed in our home and cared for our two dogs while we were away on our honeymoon for two weeks. From the start, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative, which made us feel at ease—especially since this was our first time using a sitter and we were a bit nervous. Our dogs were so comfortable with her, and it was clear she took amazing care of them. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands. We’re so grateful for Kerri and will absolutely be reaching out to her again anytime we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Barbara was wonderful. She kept me informed about my fur babies and they were all well cared for while I was gone. Will be using Barbara again if she is available.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gandy is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gandy
This was our first time using Blaize. We did a short couple of days away from home. Blaize did a great job. She was kept in touch, sent photos and took great care of our senior (14 year old) dog and our home. We’ve already booked Blaize for additional stays in the coming months. Do not hesitate to try her on your fur babies. I’m sure you’ll be pleased.
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 $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,218 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.

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.
