“Beverly did a great job taking care of my two high anxiety dogs at our home. She stayed for 3 nights and sent lots of pictures and updates. She left the house exactly as we left it. No problems at all! She was very sweet and professional when I met her for a meet and greet and in all of our correspondence. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!”
“This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, and Stacie went above and beyond anything we could have imagined! One of our dogs has extreme anxiety, so we honestly never thought using a pet sitter would work for us. However, the family member who usually watches our pets wasn't able to this time due to health reasons, and as you can imagine, we were pretty anxious about leaving them while we went on vacation for a week. Then came Stacie! She was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our pups and kept in regular communication with us throughout the week, sending pictures and updates that gave us so much peace of mind. She handled our anxious pup wonderfully, which meant more to us than I can say. She even fed and gave some extra snuggles to my daughter's two guinea pigs, which was such a wonderful bonus! I truly cannot say enough good things about Stacie. Being able to enjoy our vacation without constantly worrying about our pets was priceless. We will 100% be using her again for future vacations or even drop-in visits, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. Thank you, Stacie! ❤️”
“Connor took good care of our dog and sent photos of their time together. Due to an electric outage where we stayed at we were not able to get the photos till later. However it appears he took good care of our dog and our house was in good condition when we returned from vacation.”
“Annaliese was the right sitter & my dogs instantly felt comfortable upon meeting her. I received several updates with photos as to how the dogs were doing, she stuck to schedule & instructions I left, and she has positive Energy.”
“Ona was a wonderful house sitter! I came home to a happy cat and my house was as clean as I left it. She was easy to communicate with, and took time out of her day for a meet-and-greet before I left. She also sent me pictures of Cecil while I was away, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Ona and will gladly rebook with her in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants the best care and love for their pets while they’re away! I liked Hannah from the moment I met her during our meet and greet. She listened to all of my concerns and anxieties that I had. Hannah greeted me the day of departure and return. She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent me many pictures of my pets while I was away, checking in daily. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thank you Hannah, we will definitely be requesting your services again!”
“Gianna is the absolute best. She was able to take care of BOTH of my crazy huskies on top of it being during the holiday season. It gave me peace of mind that she was also able to keep an eye on my house as well. Will certainly rebook with her again!!”
“Dominic was such a pleasure to work with. Our fur babies were very comfortable and relaxed with him . Both of our fur babies have separation anxiety and we felt at ease, while we were away. Dominic even went above and beyond to get our dog , Domino a new squeaky toy. Boy did he love that. Thanks again Dominic! Denise G”
“Parker is the best pet sitter!!! He took great care of our 2 dogs and our cat while we were away for a week. One of my dogs was suffering pretty severe separation anxiety and refusing to eat. Parker communicated with us and we worked together to find a way to get Mooney eating again. Though still anxious, Mooney remained safe and healthy throughout our time away. Parker showed so much patience and kindness and kept us updated with texts and pictures. He took great care of our house and, when we got back, it truly looked like he hadn’t even been there. I’m so grateful we were able to book Parker for the week as he seriously went the extra mile. Of course our animals were happy to see us, but I think our girl dog misses her snuggle buddy!”
“Working with Natania for looking after our dogs and cats has been really smooth. We have four senior animals, each with a particular wrinkle to caring for them, and Natania was super open to their needs. She obviously cares deeply for animals and is a very conscientious caretaker. We are very confident working with her again!”
“He did so well with my precious Annie. She was so sad to see him go lol. I definitely will be booking again, the scheduling and pricing is super convenient especially considering the kind of times we’re in with the prices of everything.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, play, and cuddle! Comfortable administering meds or any other special requests. I recently lost my soul dog, so trying to get some extra dog love <3 I work full time but have a hybrid schedule! Usually work 9-5 M-F. Happy to check on pets before/after work and on lunch break. I have a small unfenced yard that I can take a dog to on leash. Happy to provide a crate if needed. Have loads of toys
“Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs! I regularly babysit my boyfriends puppy and have a dog and 2 cats, and before that I had a golden retriever who unfortunately passed away from old age several years ago. I have also babysat my neighbors 2 dogs several times. I work from home managing my own business so my hours are very flexible, and I am available most days unless I have a previous commitment. I do not currently offer pet sitting at my home, but when in your home I will take every precaution to keep your pet safe and make sure they feel loved and are having fun!
“Elise is a treasure! She is very responsible, caring and my rescue pup loved her. She took very good care of the house including during a power outage. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn was so lovely! She was accommodating of our and trip and the changes we had to it. She was flexible in our dogs schedule and sent pics/videos for updates ♥️ would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Melaney was great!! Stayed overnight with our family 3 dogs & kitty while we went to a concert. She kept us updated and sent pics & the animals all really enjoyed their time with her!”
“Corwin was responsive, very clearly communicated with us, and made sure our pups were taken care of while we were away. He sent frequent updates and was very professional. We really enjoyed having Corwin take care of our pups and would happy to have him do it again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gates Center
Bethany and Alex are absolutely amazing pet sitters! We have a large, furry family with three dogs ranging from extra-large to small, plus two very moody Maine Coon cats, each with their own very unique personalities. 😆 They are incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with all of our girls. They take the time to understand each of their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which gives us so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our girls! We also love how wonderful they are about keeping us updated throughout their stay. The regular photos, videos, and messages showing us how everyone is doing make being away so much easier. Bethany and Alex are dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely love the animals they care for. We are so grateful to have found them and couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Dominic was such a pleasure to work with. Our fur babies were very comfortable and relaxed with him . Both of our fur babies have separation anxiety and we felt at ease, while we were away. Dominic even went above and beyond to get our dog , Domino a new squeaky toy. Boy did he love that. Thanks again Dominic! Denise G
Bella was AWESOME!!! Highly recommend!!! My wife and I were nervours at first because this was the first time using Rover and finding someone we did not know to watch our fur babies. She agreed to come and meet us and our furbabies prior to the actual date. Our dogs (dogs are the best judges of character) loved her from the moment she entered the house. Bella was in constant communication with us, sending text messages and pictures. She is a sweet and kind person. Very responsible. I would definitely use her again in the future.
Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gates Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gates Center is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 521 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gates Center. 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 Gates Center 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 Gates Center 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 Gates Center 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gates Center. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
