“TJ was great with Georgie, she was very happy as evidenced in the pictures TJ sent to us several times a day. He even made sure she had a good walk before we came home in the event our flight was delayed. Very happy with his care.”
“My wife and I love Paula!!! Almost as much as it appears that Elsie loves her! We are SO at ease knowing that Elsie will be cared for the same way that we care for her. SUCH A RELIEF AND A PLEASURE!”
“Sarah was fantastic and we highly recommend her to anyone! She did a great job caring for our fickle pugs. She kept us updated with pictures and messages about how the dogs were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Having Sarah stay with our pugs gave us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”
“Ianthe was a Godsend to our senior dog while we were traveling for a wedding. She took amazing care of Milo and was so kind and pleasant to talk to. We will definitely be scheduling with her again!”
“Lexi watched my three pets, including an older special needs cat. Her communication was wonderful - great question, photos and updates, and just a cheerful confidence that helped me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. They and the house were in great shape when I returned and I could tell the cats and dog were well cared for. Thank you so much!”
About: All I wanted was a dog growing up. I used to knock on neighbors doors and ask to walk/play with their dogs for free! My parents finally decided to get dogs (of course right when I leave for college) and I love them with all of my heart. Since I am at New Paltz for school, I miss my pets like crazy. I would love to get the opportunity to play with your pets and get to have puppy time away from home. I used to take my dogs on hikes and I miss it very much; I would love to take your dogs on pretty walks. I also have been a nanny and babysit often. I am very capable of taking care of someone. Since I am out of school, I am very free. I have a part-time job where I get to pick my hours, so I am very available. As a broke college student, I am very open to whatever you need. I also value nature and the outdoors very much, so adding a pup to the mix will be a bonus! As a loving pet owner, I very much understand the love and attention that is needed with caring for a pet. I am thoughtful and value rules, I take pet routines seriously. I understand that providing this service requires a lot of trust that I am willing to take time to prove.
“Megen went above and beyond to make our babies/puppies including the kitties. 5 total she handled it with no issues. feel comfortable and loved, on short notice at that. She is extremely proficient with her communication. We received Photos and constant interactions. I would gladly and proudly refer her.”
“Elisha was a great sitter for our dog, on short notice and all. Our dog, who doesn’t even like to go upstairs typically, even slept by Elisha during the night! That means Elisha was good!”
“We are so grateful to have found Aliza! She stayed at our home with our two pups while we were out of town for a family event. This was the first time our pack of four had been separated since Covid, also our first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how it would go. Plus, it was the Fourth of July weekend and one of our pups is not good with fireworks or thunderstorms. But Aliza rose to the occasion! She swaddled and comforted little Leah during the fireworks with her best Mom skills. She sent plenty of pics so that I was able to feel completely at ease while we were away. Good communications via text. We found Aliza to be reliable and flexible, mature, trustworthy and responsible. The house was left for us in the same condition as she found it. The most important part was that the pups were happy and fine when we returned home. Wagging tails all around! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook with Aliza in the future.”
“Brightynn was phenomenal. She took great care of our 2 dogs. She house sat our dogs and did a great job keeping them safe, happy and loved. She also kept the house neat and clean the way it was before we left. Brightynn was easy to communicate with via texted if i had any questions or concerns about the dogs and she would send some pics of our dogs on occasion. I would definitely hire her again for our dogs.”
“Abbey was an excellent caretaker for our two cats, one of whom needs a challenging daily medication (syringe to the mouth and he's a spicy one). In addition to daily updates, we received a fabulous assortment of photos and videos daily that helped us when we were missing the boys extra over the holidays. Thank you Abbey!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I take care of my dog and other dogs that I get asked to do so I can do Monday- Sunday at any time of the day. I take care of my dog when my grandparents are away with my mom. When needed I feed my dog and give him water when he is out of water When I dog sit my aunts dog when her and her family are away. I feed him on the morning and let him out. Play with my aunts dog. Then feed him at night. I also play with him whenever I go let him back out. I stayed the night for a couple nights
“Rose was an absolute dream of a sitter. They made sure we got pictures of the boys, left our house probably cleaner than my husband and I left it and was more than willing to meet with us on two separate occasions before our boarding sesh to help acclimate our more skittish doggo son. By mid-weekend, both dogs were fans of Rose and honestly, so am I. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jasmine was awesome! She kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and sent great photos. She was professional and left my house as she found it. Definitely going to book her again!”
“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gardiner
I cannot express how happy we are to have found Rose. Her communication before and throughout the stay was excellent, She immediately related to our dog and by the pictures she shared while we were away, she obviously spent a lot of time walking and playing with him. And our house was absolutely spotless when we got home. Rose is now our first choice for pet care!
We had last minute New Year's Eve plans and we were happy that Rose was available. This was our first Rover dog sitting experience. Rose was attentive and comfortable with our two dogs. We were happy with her service and we would definitely ask her to dog sit again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardiner on Rover is $69.93 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 689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gardiner. 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 Gardiner 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 Gardiner 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 Gardiner 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.
