“Robert is an absolute lifesaver! He made my girls and me feel so relaxed and comfortable for our first time having a dog sitter. He kept us updated every day, and even though my girls have some anxiety issues, he handled everything so smoothly. Thanks again Rob and Rover!!!”
“Kaitlyn - spent 48 hours in our home watching our 7 mos. old puppy. When we returned he was just as happy as before we left. Kaitlyn was communicative throughout the entire time and provided very thoughtful care to Rookie and our home.”
“Wendy was excellent! We needed her for 2 nights for our 2 Norwegian Forrest cats that have never been left alone. Wendy was very thorough in the initial interview about our wishes. She played with the cats, sent us pictures, and kept us up to date. Definitely 5 stars! We will use Wendy again!”
“We needed an emergency sitter for our puppy Pete who is recovering from surgery and Katryna came to the rescue. She was conscientious and very kind with our little guy and we would definitely have her watch him again.”
“Morgan is the best! She sent us so many updates throughout her stay with our girl, and was so respectful of our routine we have in place with Ginny. Our house was cleaner than we left it when we got home, and Ginny was exhausted from a weekend of fun. We absolutely plan to ask Morgan to watch Ginny in the future!”
“We had Danielle watch our pup for a weekend at our home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was completely stress free with her watching our dog & house!”
“I would highly recommend Val to anyone! This was my first time using Rover and I admit to being a little nervous at first. But as soon as I met Val, I knew that our 3 dogs and older cat would be in excellent hands. While away I received video and photos and text updates. Even our cat, who is normally shy around new people, was Val’s best friend within no time! I would gladly call on Val again in the future.”
“It was such a relief having Hailey watch our dog while we were away. She took such good care of him, especially considering caring for his allergies can be a bit of a daunting task. Not only was he well cared for but he was definitely given a lot of love by her while we were away. Which also means the world to us. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Claire was wonderful! She is thoughtful and detailed in her pet care. Claire was trustworthy and respectful of my home during her overnight stay. My reactive/high anxiety small dog was very comfortable with Claire.”
“Kat is the best!! We’ve used her often and she is my go-to. She always takes great care of our pups and our home. She is extremely reliable, caring and she loves our goofy mutts!”
“Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!”
“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”
“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”
“Samantha is an excellent sitter. She took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent pictures and updates. She reached out with any questions. I would highly recommend her and would gladly have her sit for my pets again.”
“We were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!”
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”

Neda watched our cats for a week and took great care of them. Our resident cat is a happy to meet new people and Neda spent time cuddling and playing with her. Our foster cat is very, very timid and Neda messaged a few times to ask about her habits and if her hiding all the time is normal. Neda was easy to communicate with, quick to respond to questions I had and was nice enough to bring in packages that were delivered during her stay. We will definitely use her sitting services again!
Thank you Robert for taking care of my 2 papillons Annie and Zac. We came out of town to tour Fonthill castle & Mercer museum (no pets allowed) cannot speak for them, but they looked happy when I returned after our tour (6.5hrs). Did recieve pics of them Would use him again if in that area. Thanks again Robert
Simone has been great with my senior dog! She house sat and watched her at my apartment almost every day for a week and I felt like I left my girl in great hands. She sends lots of updates and photos throughout the day which was SUPER appreciated! Definitely recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gardenville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardenville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,548 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gardenville. 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 Gardenville 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 Gardenville 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 Gardenville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gardenville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
