Dalton was extremely professional during all of our interactions. He made sure to keep us updated while we were away and sent several photos of Copper. We will definitely use him again if he is available!

About: Ever since I was little, I've been raised around and myself raised dogs; starting with my family breeding CKC rat terriers, then rescuing an abused German shepherd, to my current dog being a Yorkie, I'm comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes. While not certified, I am working with clicker training my Yorkie and I can usually teach basic obedience commands; I am also comfortable with attempting to reinforce any behaviors you are trying to teach. I currently am not working but am a live-in helper for my grandmother. Besides taking her shopping and to appointments, I'm pretty open through out weekdays and weekends. While I am offering walking services mainly, I am comfortable following any instructions you might have for if I have to enter your home either to stay a few hours or just stop by for feedings and potty breaks. While I consider myself able to handle larger dogs, I cannot handle poorly trained large dogs that will drag me and dislocate my shoulder. If you are training the dog to walk more calmly on a leash, I feel comfortable reinforcing your training if it is safe to do so.

Elizabeth did a great job when she stayed at our house with our dog for the weekend. We came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Our dog even looked for Elizabeth in the room she was staying in the morning after we returned home. I recommend Elizabeth for caring for your beloved pets.

Davey is the best! I don’t know if I want to leave this review because I want him to be available whenever we need him 😆🥰 Very responsive, understanding with dogs with “issues,” wonderful with cleaning up, taking walks, and making dogs a priority. His stay with our boys was seamless. Highly recommended!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid, walked dogs around the neighborhood hood starting at age 8. I have trained all of my dogs for the past 3 years and currently working on getting certified dog trainer. I have gone through the puppy phase and females in heat. Training puppies is a thing I have gotten down and have helped 3 of my friends train their doggos. I am in the navy currently working 8am-4pm Mon-Fri. I’m available for check ins and walking your doggo in the afternoons, or if needed in the early mornings. I am well versed in the energy dogs need and have no issues playing until the doggo is tired and the energy level is met. I also don’t mind a cuddle bug doggo too!

About: I’ve worked at an animal shelter for a year and a half, where I gained hands on experience caring for animals of all temperaments and ages. My responsibilities included walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and safely administering medications when needed. Working in a shelter environment has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable, even in stressful situations. I also have two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand the level of love, responsibility, and care our pets deserve. I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. Being around them isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Between caring for my own two cats and dog, I’m used to planning my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel loved and secure. Adding your pet to my routine is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s specific needs to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Please check my calendar for the specific days you need care. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick closely to their usual feeding schedules, walk times, play routines, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, quiet companionship, or administering medication, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

I cannot recommend Sophie enough! We were in a huge pinch with a last-minute booking for our Teddy, during our two-day wedding event. From the start, she was an absolute professional—responding quickly and even making letting us know immediately if she's available. She provided frequent photo and message updates throughout the two days, which completely eased our nerves while we were busy with wedding festivities. She followed all care instructions perfectly, and in a last minute issue she never broke professionalism. Knowing Teddy was in capable hands allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying. We returned to a happy dog who clearly was well taken care of. She truly went above and beyond for a specialty booking like this. If you need someone I highly recommend Sophie!

About: I've been taking care of animals since i was a child. As a professional, I have over six years of animal boarding and dog training experience. I have experience in animal bathing, and administering medications for both cats and dogs. I love working with young animals, but i adore senior pets the most. I would love to take care of your baby! If you are interested in dog training just let me know. I'm experienced in balanced-dog training and have trained over a hundred dogs through housecalls and group classes. For a typical day, it's potty breaks and breakfast first thing in the morning. If I don't have any housecalls, I'll be home with your pet. Your pet will get potty breaks every 1.5 hours on minimum until their last potty break at 8 p.m. Your pet will get 2 walks a day either around your neighborhood or at a dog park. If I do have housecalls to attend to, my work day will cut short so your pet won't be alone for too long. If I'm doing a dog training housecall, the lesson is typically one hour. We will go over one or two commands at a time and we will train the dog until i feel that the client and dog have a good understanding of what's going on. I can usually cover over basic obedience in eight lessons. I try to schedule these lessons once every week, but its all based on the clients schedule. I never let your out of my sight while their are in my care. The only times I would ever leave pet would be to go to housecalls or gather supplies. I will take your pet on walks, training practice and provide them with a bath if you ask me or if they get too dirty while in my care.

Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.

About: Over 25 years experience with animals. Especially when your pet is high maintenance or challenging in terms of care. I will take care of your pet as one of my own and never use physical punishment or force. I am very flexible and can accommodate most requests. I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements. Located on over 13 acres, with plenty of room to run and play and family members to offer extra love and pats. Our dogs Cooper and Eleanor are the perfect playmates and welcomes new friends. 🥰 Pretty flexible 24/7, I work from home so it is easy for me to accommodate most requests. Just shoot me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule and needs. I recognize that play and socialization are so important to your dog’s happiness, so I ensure they get plenty of both during doggie day care.

About: I have had dogs since I was little growing up until now, we currently have a boxer we love like our children. I have trained puppies and worked with dogs of all ages. We also have several farm animals (chickens, horses, goats and birds). Looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s). Our animals are good with other animals but we will want to get them together to make sure it's a good fit if in our home. I am happy to discuss whatever your needs may be and work with you the best I can. No task is too big or small. I have enjoyed working with animals since I was young and hope to continue to do so until I am much older. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to connecting. I currently work from home and so I am here most of the time to ensure they are watched after regularly. We already have a regular routine for all of our other animals. We will care for your pet as if they are our own. Happy to take whatever considerations are needed to make your pet so welcome. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and maintenance, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure to fit visits into my schedule at times that align with your pet's usual routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. My flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, allows me to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into your and your pet's lifestyle. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. In your home, I follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain your cat’s routine and comfort, ensuring their environment feels familiar and secure. I lock all doors and windows after visits, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If I’m hosting in my home, it’s a safe, cat-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, secure spaces to explore, and toys for mental stimulation. I ensure a calm atmosphere with no other pets, so your cat feels safe and at ease. Whether at your place or mine, I provide personalized care and attention, ensuring your pet's stays safe, happy, and loved.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: Hi! My name is Mariah, and I’m excited to start offering dog-sitting services. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’ll take the time to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are very important to me! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend and give them the care and attention they deserve. 🐶❤️ I am currently not working at all so I promise your pet will have literally all of my time and I wouldnt want it any other way Since my home doesn’t allow pets in the clients home I will clean up and pick up behind pet plenty of walking and outside time, ofcourse feeding and playing and then hopefully you won’t mind if we take a nap together on your couch if you allow dogs on funiture

Jennifer has consistently done an excellent job while dog sitting for us! She does a great job of also cleaning up the house (sheets, towels, trash, dishes) before leaving. We can’t even tell anyone has been here. We really appreciate all she does to help ease our minds while we’re out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gautier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Gautier on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 152 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gautier. 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 Gautier 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 Gautier 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 Gautier 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 Gautier. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
