“Karla took amazing care of our dogs once again. She’s punctual, communicative, and kind. Karla respects our space and loves our dogs. She sends awesome photos and goes above and beyond, even bringing in packages. 10/10 wonderful sitter!”
“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany stayed at our house for a week taking care of our special needs dogs with medicine administration requirements, including liquid syringe oral administration. Our house was spotless and our dogs were happy. She sent tons of photos every day. She did a great job, highly recommend.”
“Canija was so incredible with our kitty Yue and she even extended our booking last minute when our car broke down! Definitely going to boom again with her in the future!”
About: I am a 22 year old biology student at UWG hoping to become a vet in the future. Animals are my passion and I truly love being around them! I have two dogs and three outdoor cats. I have 3 years of experience at a pet hotel! I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, big and small dogs, cats, birds, etc. I am also extremely attentive to the animals that I watch and I am able to read behaviors well due to my previous job. I am also very active and love to go on walks and play with the animals I’m watching! I’m currently working as a pet sitter full-time so I’m available to pet sit majority of the time, I just need to know dates to make sure! I can drop in 3-4 times a day and stay the night if needed! I care for pets based off of the clients instructions, I normally pet sit at the clients home. I would normally feed in the morning at the time the pets are use to and take them out to potty and then just hang out throughout the day or do drop ins until I feed them at night and let them out again. Based on the client I also stay the night or I lock up the house and come back in the morning.
“Chesnie was GREAT! She was well loved by our three dogs and extremely communicative throughout our entire trip. She was respectful of our home and we came back to it in the exact same state that we left it in. It was so nice to go out of town and know that our dogs were well taken care of the entire time.”
About: I have 5 years of dog/cat sitting. I absolutely love all animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals. We have a 2 years old Husky at home, who loves to go outside and run around with us. I would love to take care of your babies!! I’m currently a substitute teacher. With school coming to an end for this school year. I am looking for dog/cat sitting jobs throughout the summer. I’m very flexible. We have 3 acres of land, but I let our dogs out on a leash and we walk around for ten minutes. I can put your babies in crate if they are not potty trained yet.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs, cats, and even a Guinea pig so I’m great with pretty much any animals. I don’t just do the bare minimum either I always make sure to keep them happy and occupied as well. This is currently my only job so I have all the time to spend taking care of your sweet fur babies, on weekdays and weekends. I’m capable of filling in with any extra things like administering medication if needed and anything else you need me to do for you.
“Ashley was wonderful with our puppy. He came down with kennel cough just prior to our leaving and couldn’t be boarded. Ashley was prompt, flexible, and so loving with our puppy. She stayed with him in our house, giving us peace of mind while we were away and sent frequent pictures and videos of him to keep us updated about how he was doing. We would definitely have Ashley stay and take care of Finley again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and trained most of them. I love senior dogs and have over 10 years of experience in taking care of Sr dogs. My last 3 dogs lived to 16, 15 and 13. My last dog and current dog is adopted from a shelter and I’ve learned to be patient and gentle with shelter dogs. I’m am allergic to cats so unfortunately I won’t be able to care for them. I do work from home so your pup will never have to wait to use the bathroom or be locked in a room or crate for hours at a time. My pup has full range of the house and your pup will too. During the first intro of my dog to yours I will keep my dog in her crate until they feel comfortable with each other. During feeding I do separate the pups and put my dog in her crate to eat. Things to bring when boarding: - Dog Bed - Crate / Blanket (if they use one) - Piece of clothing that smells like your pup’s favorite person - Food - Food and Water Bowels - Treats - 1 to 2 favorite toys - Collar and/or harness - Leash Recommendations but not required: - washing your pup before dropping them off at boarding - clipping their nails My current availability: - open availability - weekdays - weekends - overnight stays - long stays - day time stays - middle of the day walks - Fenced in yard - A dog that loves to play with new dogs - Taking pups to the dog park - Long walks - 2 to 4 hours of outside playtime
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. Dog sat for neighbors before, owned a special needs dog for 10 years since the day he was born, administered meds, great at bathing, attentive to their needs and wants, especially cuddles. I have never met an animal that I didn't like or didn't like me. I'm available pretty much everyday at any time needed. If asked I would be open to petsitting overnight in home. I'm currently working Monday - Thursday part time so message me and I will try and squeeze you in! Dog walking I will be sure to collar or harness them. They will get breaks with drinks of water. If you prefer for them to be crated before I leave I will do so. Home check ins all that I request is that if they have any special needs or medication requirements that I'm made aware and will know which medication or services I need to apply, and access to take animal to a vet during an emergency.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gay on Rover is $66.6 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 354 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gay. 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 Gay 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 Gay 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 Gay 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 Gay. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
