“Jonathon was absolutely great with my dogs! It had been awhile since I traveled and had to leave them so I was anxious going into it, but that anxiety went away the first day once I saw how well he was caring for my dogs! He treated them as they were his own and he was great with sending updates with photos. I can’t express my gratitude enough. I will be using Jonathon again to dog sit for my next trip!”
“Ace was fantastic and Rocky loved her. She was very attentive and took exceptional care of our home. She provided pics and communication throughout and we are very happy with her.”
“We’ve had Luke watch our pack of animals three times now, and he’s done a great job! He’s been able to manage all 3 of the dogs together without issue, and most recently was able to ensure that our senior cat was given her oral medication daily. As a bonus, my garden is still alive after a 4 day trip. Thanks Luke!”
“Isaiah house sat for our 2 older dogs. His communication was great and did well with dogs. Gentle manner and seems to really like dogs. Came for a free meet and greet with them prior to dog sitting. He even sent pictures of the dogs, which helps when we’re away from them. He also gave the medicine to the dogs just fine, which was really important. We plan to use him again.”
“Cameron was great! He was very easy to work with and my doggo loved him. He left the house perfectly clean. I unfortunately had to cut my trip short so he didn't watch my dog for the full time, but I would definitely trust him house sitting again!”
About: I want to work with animals full time and hopefully build strong connections and business relationships! I've been a pet owner for my whole life and have always enjoyed every bit of it. Even the not so glamorous parts! I love animals and I will make sure that your furry family members are taken care of! I'm available every day of the week to make sure that your furry friends have all of their needs taken care of whether it be going for a walk or just keeping them company! I will make sure that all of your pets are treated well and taken care of to the best of my abilities. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets at home and I hope that I can provide a sense of safety and peace of mind while you are away!
“Thomas was fantastic with our pugs! My male pug injured himself just prior to our trip and I was worried sick about him. Thomas was sure to update us on his condition, administered medications and sent us daily pics. He was always quick to respond. Both pugs were happy and healthy, and the bedsheets were even cleaned when we got home! He took great care of our dogs. I would highly recommend!”
“Lance was the perfect choice to watch our dog Harley while we were gone for over a week on vacation! He was so kind and patient with her and was very proactive in providing updates on how she was doing. I can’t wait to continue to work with Lance in the future!”
About: Personal attention, loving care. I have taken care of my dogs for last 40+ years. My friends and neighbors always reach out to me to look after their pets when they are away. I love to take long walks outside and to bring your dog along as a companion would be great! Newly re-posted! I am semi-retired, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for sitting and walking any day of the week and have a very flexible schedule. Feel free to reach out to me for last minute help! I will spend quality time with your pet and give him/her so much attention! My main goal is not only the safety of the animal but also making a pet feel as comfortable as possible and little to no anxiety when separated from their parents.
“Vlad was wonderful! I had to head out of time in a pinch and he was ready & able. He took great care of my 2 pups and my home. I highly recommend Vlad!”
About: I enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes, by taking them for energetic walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them comfy. I have done pet sitting for my family on long weekends for their Belgian Malinois and golden retriever. I'm currently a senior at Highlands Ranch HS and Legacy Campus. I am available Monday, Wednesday and Friday after 3pm and Tuesday and Thursday after 1pm. I can care for your pet in my home, as I have a big open space that I can walk them in and the dog park across the street for free play. If, I am at your home I can walk them along with giving them lots of love while you are gone and keeping them on their normal schedule according to the dog owners.
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our Chase! She is excellent with communication, providing daily texts and picture updates of walks and hanging out. She was able to distribute heart meds to a very picky dog. We were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing Chase was being well taken care of.”
“Loren is my go-to for dog sitting. She takes really good care of my special needs dog and they have build a special bond. Not only has she provided good services, but also has gained my and my dog’s trust.”
“Shari is fantastic! She cared our home as if it were her own and loved our pups as if they were a part of her family. She is professional and friendly in all of her communication and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“Olivia was so great with my two high energy dogs!! They can be a handful at times and require some patience. Really appreciated not having to worry about them while I was out of town. Thanks, Olivia!!!”
“Baylee did a good job house sitting my Senior dogs... Gave me updates while I was away and left the house in good order. She had something come up on the last night and couldn't stay, but still got the dogs fed. After we communicated about her schedule change she refunded the difference for the booking to make sure I was happy. I thought that was very professional, and appreciated!”
“Tori was fantastic. We really loved that she came over to meet our pets and introduce herself as it can be a bit nerve wracking to have someone else watch your babies in your home. She was incredibly responsive and provided pics and updates throughout the stay. The house was left in excellent condition and our pets were happy. We will be using her again.”
“Tessa was great! She was responsive and took great care of our sweet guy. Our house was left clean, she asked to water our plants, and our cat seemed very well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use Tessa again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gateway is $58
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
My animals were so well taken care of and Aislyn did a wonderful job of keeping in contact with me and sending me pictures. She even scooped the cat litter which no one has ever done that. If I was going to continue living in the area, I would definitely be having her take care of Kona and Gracie again.
Ion was an excellent sitter for our 6 year old German Shepherd. Our dog has some challenges with dog reactivity and pulling towards bunnies, and Ion handled everything very well. He provided frequent updates and left our house in great condition. Would highly recommend!
Cam was very good, very communicative (sent lots of pics), and our dogs were well-taken care of and very happy when we got home. We were only gone overnight but we are having Cam take care of our guys in a few weeks for a ten day trip and have confidence that they will be just as well taken care of for 10 days as they were for overnight!
Bryce is an exceptional sitter! He was very detail oriented from the meet and greet all the way through the stay. He took great care of our pup and house, spent tons of time with him and even took him to the dog park and in scavenger hunts during rainy days. He shared photos, videos and a update every day and even waited to know we had landed before leaving. Thanks for looking after Chappie!
Jonathan did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He was responsive and willing to meet with us before our weekend away to get to know our pups. One of our dogs is especially skiddish with new people, and he warmed up to Jonathan so quickly! Jonathan left our home in great condition, and handled an emergency water leak on our behalf while we were away. We cannot recommend Jonathan enough!
Cameron was/is amazing! From his meet and greet down to his stay at our home. He was prompt, let us know when he’d arrived, and communicated with us as well. He remembered our trash/recycling day (when we did not) and reached out to double check about recycling. Our pups warmed up to him quickly, and seemed very well taken care of as well as our home that he left tidy. After having our flight home delayed, it was nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you so much Cameron!
Emily was amazing! She loved our naughty dogs and home for 6 days. She also dealt with MULTIPLE random issues like garage door beeping and neighbor coming over to help, hard freeze night getting the house ready and a different neighbor coming over to help, washing machine being weird, etc. She happily helped with ease. She stirred the dog's food counterclockwise, not clockwise....you get it! We will definitely put Emily at the top of our list.
Kailey was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our cat Manna for 10 days while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She's fully remote, so she was home with him most of the day, which is exactly what he needs since he's a super cuddly boy who loves company. Kailey sent us photos and updates every day, and it was clear Manna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She kept up with his feeding, litter, and playtime, and by the end of the stay he was sleeping in her room and following her around like they'd been friends forever. She was also incredibly communicative, flexible, and easy to work with from the very first message through the meet and greet and the whole stay. We came home to a happy, healthy, spoiled cat and a clean house. We would 100% book Kailey again and can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Kailey! 😺
Shari is absolutely wonderful!! She is our go-to whenever we need someone to care for our German Shepherd, who is a large dog and is reactive to dogs / wants to chase every bunny. Whether it’s a check in to take her potty, walk her, or overnight care while we are away, we never worry when Shari is the one taking care of her. Shari is comfortable with our dog and her needs, sends updates & is very responsive, and always goes above and beyond. Our dog always looks so happy and well cared for when she is with Shari. We (and our dog) LOVE Shari!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gateway is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 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 7,831 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gateway. 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 Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway. 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.
