Tammy was an absolute blessing to have for my 3 babies. Our babies were so happy to see us when we returned but we could tell they were loved while we were away. I will definitely us her and recommend her again!

My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience looking after dogs, cats, and other small animals. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I treat every animal like they’re my own 🤍 I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate focused time to caring for pets. Most days I’m home during the day, so I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, or just company I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust for every pet I care for. I follow any special instructions, and provide plenty of attention and reassurance so they feel comfortable and happy!

I highly recommend Avery! She took such amazing care of my golden doodle, bunny and cockatiel while we were on a family vacation. She communicated very well and sent photos while we were away. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with all of your pets, but Avery was responsible, attentive, and truly treated them like her own. She loves animals and has lots of experience with them which made me feel confident she would do well. I came home to happy pets and felt completely confident while I was away. I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave them and would absolutely have her watch them again! 🐾❤️

About: Caring for pets is my specialty and my full time job. I am a certified veterinary technician and can medicate animals as well. I will bring special treats for your babies, and I can also crate if they need to be. I can also send you multiple pictures of how the sitting and walk is going. I am home most of the day(except for a few errands) so your pet will have frequent potty breaks and love. ❤️ I do work part time at a nearby clinic. I have 5 doggies of my own so I have plenty of experience. I can also crate train as well, and take them for walks at the nearby park.

Jasmine took such good care of our two cats! She was referred to us when we learned about a last-minute trip we needed to take over the weekend, and we were so glad that Jasmine was available to cat sit in our home while we were away. The kitties seemed as happy as always when we returned, so we know Jasmine took great care of them, including food, play, and outside time. Jasmine also checked-in with us when she had questions, and we were so glad for that. Thank you, Jasmine!

Jada was amazing with our three fur babies while staying in our home. This was the first time in a long time that we trusted someone outside of family or friends, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She was fantastic with our dogs, kept us updated with texts, and was always responsive to our messages. When we returned home, our dogs were happy, and their routines remained unchanged. We will definitely be using her services again!

Alondra was nothing short of amazing! She took care of my three dogs and a cat and they loved her. Even the cat came out to check things out. From start to finish Alondra is an excellent communicator. I never once wondered what was going on while she was taking care of my pets. Would recommend her 100% and will definitely book her again.

About: Hello! I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my day-to-day life. Recently my family has also added lizards and ferrets, and I help with their feeding, cleaning, and general care. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility for eight months, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, making sure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable while their owners were away. I’m very attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. 🐾 I am currently working part-time going to school. I always try to look at my schedule before agreeing to anything and always try to plan around my schedule when agreeing to things. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention. I also keep their space clean, follow any specific instructions the owner provides, and make sure the pets are safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and always treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own pets.

About: I have around 8 years of pet sitting experience and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, and more! My family has 5 dogs of various sizes and breeds, so I am comfortable with dogs of any kind. I also grew up with four cats and have around 5 years of cat sitting experience. I am a college student home for the summer, and I’m currently only working part time - this leaves me with lots of available time for your pets! I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and dispositions. I am comfortable administering medication, and I have experience working with anxious pups as well as some mildly aggressive dogs. I am also able to provide references upon request! I only work part time and can provide overnight care in your house! I am willing to make as many visits to your pet as you are comfortable with. While I cannot offer boarding services in my home, I am able to provide whatever care you would like in your pet’s normal environment! I am a punctual and dedicated worker with experience caring for all sorts of animals.

This was our first time using Rover, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Odalis. We left our three dogs in her care from May 28 through June 4, including a puppy who had never been away from us before. Naturally, I was nervous, but Odalis immediately put my mind at ease. Our puppy looked like he was having the absolute time of his life! It was clear from the updates, photos, and his demeanor when we returned that he was loved, cared for, and completely comfortable. She treated all three of our dogs as if they were her own. As first-time Rover users, I’m sure my instructions weren’t the most organized or efficient, but Odalis handled everything with patience, flexibility, and professionalism. She adapted effortlessly and made the entire process stress-free for our family. Coming home to happy, healthy, relaxed dogs was such a gift. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Odalis exceeded every expectation we had, and I would trust her with our dogs again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals, I cannot recommend Odalis highly enough. We are so grateful for the incredible care she provided to our three dogs.

About: Dogs have been the light and joy of my life since I was born, but when I was 10 I finally got a dog to call my own! After our family dog had puppies and refused to nurse, I spent countless days and nights bottle feeding her litter until I proved to my parents I could keep one for myself. After that, I potty trained, socialized, played with, and took that puppy on walks all by myself. Since then she’s unfortunately passed over the rainbow bridge, but friends and family constantly entrust the care of their dogs to me while they’re away! I’ve spent a lot of time with all breeds of dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with dementia, and I love them and care for them all like they’re my own. I’m currently a paraprofessional for the SPED department of an elementary school, but I’m hoping to spend the summer caring for your fur-babies! School starts back up August 4, so until then I’ll be completely free to tend to any and all of your baby’s needs day and night. When it comes to caring for your babies in their own homes, I know there are two different levels of trust that need to be earned: trusting someone with your pets and trusting someone in your home. I take both responsibilities very seriously. I am more than willing and capable of adhering to any rules, routines, or special instructions you may have, and I will do my best to keep your pets on the schedule they know and love. Whether that means feeding times, medication administration, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to making their time without you as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I have my own reliable transportation and can arrive on time for scheduled visits, check-ins, or overnight stays. I will also keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, loved, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most secure—their home. My goal is for you to return to happy pets, a well-maintained home, and complete confidence in the care they received.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gary

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Gary on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gary. 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 Gary 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 Gary 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 Gary 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 Gary. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
