“Kelly was great with my 5 month old puppy! She took him on walks and played with him and even cleaned up after him when he got sick! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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 have 8 years of personal and professional experience working with dogs and cats. I enjoy working with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I’m currently working from home, so I have great flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pet. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening walks or drop-ins, I’m your go-to sitter. I’m very attentive to all pets’ behaviors, ensuring they feel as comfortable as possible even when their family is away. I also review each pet’s unique needs before any visit to make sure they get the specialized care they deserve.
“Such a great experience! My puppy can be a lot and my other dog is a very anxious boy she was so great with both of them. I received pics my whole time away and constant updates. Highly recommend!”
“Michaela was great! She watched our two dogs in our home for the week and was very communicative, attentive and made our dogs feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. She was also very respectful of our home and space!”
“Christina was great with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the time she was taking care of Athena and kept her on her routine. It was a good first experience with pet sitting through Rover and we will definitely be interested in having Christina pet sit again when we need.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Nhu. Our dog was well taken care of, and she treated our home with respect. We recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We’ll definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
About: I have had doggies and kitties my whole life. I have given meds and taken care of my own dogs after procedures and surgeries. I love all animals and will treat them as my own. I just recently moved to St Petersburg Fl from East TN. I am currently working Mon-Fri I available before and after work during the week all days on weekends. We currently live in an apartment and take our dogs for walks 3 to 4 times a day but we recently moved from a house with fenced in yard so I am comfortable with both. I can also help with indoor pets who use pee pads.
About: I've taken care and trained animals since I was a child, I treat them as my own. I've taken care of neighbors' animals and house sat for them. I pride myself on taking the best care of other people's fur babies like they are my own! I work in an office 5 days a week but can provide round the clock care with my partner who works remotely. Most weekends you can find me at a park or hitting the beach so thats great for dogs! My neighborhood has a community dog park and is very dog friendly. My house has hardwood floors so accidents in the house aren't a huge deal. Lots of windows for the pets to look out of and guard if that's what they're into. I love cuddling in bed with animals but also respect their alone time if they need that.
“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.
“Kerri was an amazing sitter for our little crew! Our sitter we have used in the past for our babies was not available for our long European trip, and Kerri happily took on the challenge very last minute! Being away from our gang for 11 days was a really long time! (probably the longest we have been away from them) but Kerri made us feel at ease. We knew our pets were loved and taken care of, and our home was also in good hands! She sent frequent updates and pics and went above and beyond to go buy them extra food when they ran out! We would highly recommend Kerri!”
“Joli has continued to be an amazing sitter for our pups. They absolutely love her and she put our minds at ease knowing how well they were looked after. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have been helping care for them since I was little. I’m comfortable with all kinds of cats and dogs—puppies, seniors, and everything in between—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for. My schedule is very open right now. I am available seven days a week, pretty much anytime, to walk your dog or let them outside. I treat dogs and cats like family. I stick to your routine for walks, meals, and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re gone.
“Blaize was awesome with our 3 cats! She stayed with them for 5 days and provided us with lots of updates and pictures which we loved. She seemed to take great care of them, they were all happy when we got home, and I think our place may have even been cleaner than when we left! Would definitely recommend her to anyone :)”
“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”
“Barbra was very conscientious and communicated frequently with us during our trip. She made sure Rocket got play time even when it rained outside. Our neighbors were very complimentary about her as well!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gandy
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!
Blaize was wonderful with our dog and cat, and watching over the home while they stayed there!! We couldn’t ask for anything more than a peace of mind while we are away. Our animals warmed up to her quickly, even though they can be a little hesitant or anxious at first. Highly recommend for whatever your pet needs are.
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.
