House Sitting Gaskill

“Belinda took excellent care of our dog and home for over a week. We would wholeheartedly recommend her! We were new to Rover and nervous about leaving our very elderly dog. Belinda helped us to feel so at ease. She was attentive, kind, and patient with our dog who was experiencing many age-related changes, including loss of vision. She took the time to get to know her, gently encouraged her on many more walks than we have been able to, and handled all of her quirks, including anxiety and occasional accidents with grace. Belinda was also a reliable communicator, sent great updates and pictures, and left the house in excellent shape! We feel so, so grateful to have found her.”

“Wow! What an incredible sitter Hong was. This is the first time I have ever been away from my fur babies and not worried once. She was so communicative the entire time and I came back to happy dogs and a pristine house. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you again Hong. ❤️”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and I love them so much. I have cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have taken private puppy training classes, and I have a strong understanding of body language and behavior. I am comfortable adjusting my approach to fit their needs and personality. I like to send pictures and updates! I currently have a flexible schedule and I am happy to work with your routine. I am available for drop-ins and overnights as well. I can provide plenty of company, playtime, and attention while you're away. I treat every pet with the utmost care and attention to detail. I follow instructions and routines carefully, and I keep their environments safe, secure, and clean.

“Sophia is an incredible pet sitter, run don’t walk to book her! Sophia came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before my travel dates to get familiar with my dog, cat, and home. While I was away, I received numerous detailed updates with photos and descriptions of their day together. Sophia was also an MVP while I figured out a nightmare travel day home - multiple cancelled flights and delays - she quickly responded to texts and ensured my girls would be taken care of beyond our initial booked dates. Once I finally arrived home, my house was spotless - bed sheets and towels washed, dishwasher loaded, carpets vacuumed, trash taken out. But the most telling was how calm and comfortable my dog and cat were 🥰 Excited to see me, but clearly had a very enjoyable, loving week hanging with their new BFF. Thank you Sophia! I will 100% be booking again soon!”

About: Hello! My name is Shanna (like banana) a non-profit consultant based in the Bay Area. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for pets (cats and dogs) either in your home or at my house. I'm interested in helping you feel peace of mind knowing that your fur friend is taken care of. Please ask me any questions. I'm looking for opportunities that make sense with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your consideration. I'm currently working on a contract basis and primarily remote so I have time to stop by your home or house-sit as long as there is reliable Wi-Fi. Typically, when pet-sitting for friends, I will feed, walk, or change out litter boxes as often as needed. If I am not staying at the owner's home full-time, I will make sure the animal gets sufficient interaction and love daily. If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.

“Cassandra watched my one year old cavapoo, Rosie, for a long weekend while we were traveling. She was very professional at our meet and greet and she read over the care instructions for Rosie carefully. She stayed in touch throughout the weekend with photos and updates. I felt like I was able to really relax and enjoy my time away because Rosie was getting lots of love, playtime, and walks. She also took great care of the house, kept everything super clean, and helped us out with bringing in mail and bringing trash cans to the curb. I'm looking forward to hiring her again!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She’s a true dog person—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Our dog is older, with some anxiety and medical needs, and Nicole handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She followed our detailed instructions to the letter and made sure our pup felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. What really stood out was how much our dog adored her. She took the time to play with him, snuggle, and give him the attention he needed to feel at ease. We also appreciated the thoughtful updates and sweet photos she sent throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Nicole went above and beyond and we feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: 🐾 New to Rover! First 3 Clients Receive a Discounted Rate! 🐾 I’m an experienced international pet sitter, entrepreneur, and lifelong dog lover who brings warmth, professionalism and exceptional organization to every home! My pet-care experience spans multiple countries, including Cambodia and Mexico. While managing a guesthouse on Koh Rong Island, Cambodia, caring for the resident cats and dogs was part of my responsibilities. I’ve also provided overnight house sitting in Mexico, including five days independently caring for Gaia, a large dog in San Cristóbal de las Casas. We enjoyed hiking together, and I loved making sure she felt happy, safe, and cared for while her owner was away! I’ve also lived with a roommate’s dog for several years and have always had a natural connection with animals. What sets me apart? I’ve managed businesses domestically and internationally and worked professionally in theater management, where reliability, organization, communication and handling unexpected situations were essential. I bring that same professional mindset to caring for your pets and respecting your home. What can your pup expect? Lots of affection, belly rubs, cuddles (when welcomed!), enjoyable walks, companionship and careful attention to their individual routines. What can you expect? A responsible, clean, communicative professional who follows your instructions, maintains your pet’s schedule, keeps your home tidy and happily shares beautiful daily photo updates! As a consultant and creative professional who works virtually, I can bring my work with me, making overnight house sitting a wonderful fit. My goal is simple: For you to enjoy your time away knowing your beloved dog is comfortable, cared for, and in loving hands! 🐶💕 I’m available for overnight pet sitting. As a coach and consultant, most of my work is virtual, so I can work from your home during a stay. This allows me to spend time with your dog while keeping up with my work. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and my schedule before booking to make sure it’s a good fit. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and household routines closely, keep doors secure, and use a leash on walks. I’m clean and respectful of your home, and I’ll give your dog affection while respecting their comfort and boundaries. Before each stay, we’ll review care instructions and emergency contacts. I’ll send photos and updates while you’re away if you like.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, and caring for animals has always been part of my life. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I enjoy walking, playing, and giving pets the attention they need while carefully following your instructions. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently very flexible and available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can accommodate regular walks, last-minute bookings when possible, and recurring visits. I enjoy spending time with dogs and always make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner's instructions carefully regarding feeding, medication, routines, and exercise. During walks, I always prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding unsafe situations, and paying close attention to their behavior. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind.

“Shereen was great!! Very flexible with my commitments and provided daily updates, pictures, etc. Would recommend!!”

“Isaiah is beyond excellent! He sent us so many kind updates about Pascal, dealt with frustrating parking in the South End, and left our place über-clean. We will definitely book again!”

Alice H.

“If you’re lucky enough to get Chandlor you will not be disappointed. His care for my dog and cat was excellent because he treated my pets like they were his own. He ensured consistent, regular, and personalized care. I think this was the first trip that I didn’t worry about my pets. I honestly couldn’t be happier.”

Marcia A.

“Ariel and Harmony took excellent care of our sweet baby Gigi. They were super respectful of our home and we came home to a clean place and a happy healthy doggy. 10/10 would use again”

David B.

“France’s came and stayed at our place. House was left very clean. No complaints and she took the doggies for walk when she could while it was a weekend full of rain. She was prompt to respond and everything went great.”

Ellyson M.

“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

“Kasey took wonderful care of my two corgis. Luna is usually cautious with new people, but she was comfortable right away. I received lots of photos and videos of happy walks and fun runs at the dog park. The house was in excellent condition, and I got updates several times a day. Highly recommend!”
