Jennifer did an incredible job with Titan and Luna! My long time pet sitter recently started a new job, so I have been desperately searching for a trustworthy pet sitter to replace her. I travel a lot for my job, and finding good pet care is a must for me. Jennifer is very kind and has great communication skills (always kept me updated, sent lots of photos), takes care of my house like it is her own (she did my dishes, laundry, and cleaned out my fridge), and provides top notch pet care. I never have to worry when I go out of town thanks to her great service! I HIGHLY recommend hiring her for your pet care needs!

About: I enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I can care for horses, reptiles, birds, fish, and rodents and other exotic animals. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma. Currently I am wanting to make pet care full time while I am enrolled in continued training for my career. I will have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a small house with my pet so it would be better for me to care for your pet at your home. I am willing to bring them to my home if needed.

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 have owned cats and dogs my whole life. From raising newborn kittens, to feral cats and shelter dogs, I've made sure that every pet that has come into my life has been well cared for and loved. I will care for your pet in the same manner and help out when life gets hectic and you need to call an extra hand in to help out with animal care! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday. I get off of work around 4:00, and will be available for afternoon walks and care for your pet! I am also available on the weekends as I do not work then. I will respect the home property of my clients and make sure that the place looks as clean, if not cleaner, than it did before they left.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets over the past couple of years, as well as my grandmas pets and occasionally family friends and others. I am currently working part-time at a child care facility in the evenings from 3-8pm. For the summer, I am available any day at any time other than those five hours of the evening. Even then, I am not scheduled for work every day. I like to be actively involved in caring for pets, ensuring maximum comfort and security for them! I’m extremely patient, so if your pet needs a bit of warming up first, I will provide that needed space and take things slow.

About: My animal care experience comes from years of raising my own pets, pet sitting for friends, and working as a zookeeper! I have trained puppies and currently care for a senior cat. I can offer pet care and dog walks/feedings during the day and I am available to do overnight stays for pets 7 nights a week. I have cared for my senior cat Frank her entire life, and I try to keep her active and healthy by giving her a mixed diet of wet and dry food with joint supplements mixed in. I do a weekly toy rotation and groom her as needed. I am very enthusiastic about providing proper enrichment and care for pets and always treat everyone's fur babies as if they were my own.

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: Hello everyone, My name is Madison and I am recently stationed in Mississippi and have fallen in love with walking along the beaches and thought some new dog friends would make my nights better! I grew up in a household that always had dogs, sizing from chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes. I would love to hangout with some of your dogs so I can get my dog time even though I am not currently able to have my own dog. I’m very interesting in walking/running, dog/house sitting or drop ins on the weekends and holidays! I have previously house and dog sat for family friends. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I am active duty in the Us Air Force, working Monday-Friday, 7-4pm. I am really looking for overnight house and dog sitting, evening walks and runs and any weekend or holiday for check ins, walks or sitting. Typically I walk the beach in ocean springs most nights and every Saturday morning as well. I am a very dependable and clean worker. If I were to house sit my goal is to leave the house as if I was never there while caring for your dogs and ensuring they receive all of my stored dog energy! I would love to create relationships where your dogs are excited to see me rather than be sad if they’re parents are leaving them for a short vacation!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

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.

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.

About: I have always had dogs growing up with my parents, I took care of them just as much as everyone else in my family. We have 2 dogs now, we've had them for about a year and a half. I stay at home currently with my two babies and fur baby. I am available every day for the most part. I do have a toddler and a baby as well in the house. I have a fenced in back yard, pretty big, we go outside with our dog when she’s out there. I have one other dog. Our dog sleeps on her dog bed in the living room at night or on the couch. We allow them on furniture, beds, anywhere they want to feel comfortable.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I currently have three dogs of my own, and caring for them, exercise, routines, training is just my normal day to day.. I also work with Search and Rescue dogs, which has shaped how I handle animals: calm, observant, and structured without being harsh. I’m used to reading body language, managing high energy dogs, and keeping things safe in unfamiliar or distracting environments. I’ve completed animal first aid training, most recently within the last year, focused on working dogs, so I know what to look for when something feels off and how to respond if it does. Pet care is already part of my everyday life, so fitting it into my schedule feels natural. I’m usually available early mornings from 5:00–8:00 AM and evenings from 8:00–10:00 PM, which works great for walks, feedings, and check-ins before and after the day winds down. I’m also free all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so those days are ideal if your pet needs extra time, multiple visits, or longer walks. I like to keep things consistent and realistic so I can show up on time and give your pet my full attention. If your dog has a specific routine, I’m always open to seeing what I can make work. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and consistent. I follow the pet’s usual routine, respect the space, and prioritize safety at all times. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and any changes that might signal stress or discomfort. My goal is for pets to feel secure and relaxed, not disrupted.

Whether it be time sensitive medications, mid-day drop ins, or something else, I can accommodate it. I offer pet sitting in your home. This can be daily walks, drop ins, or even overnight care. Your pet will be able to follow their normal routine in the comfort of their own home.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 157 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.
