“Sherri is a wonderful sitter. Our cat is not the easiest but Sherri was very patient and loving with her, figuring out her quirks and willing to work around them. We would highly recommend her services.”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Christina and her family They took such good care of my boy. He was happy and tired when I picked him up. Lots of photos showing big hugs Long walks I wouldn’t hesitate calling them again and leaving Crowley with them You won’t regret it either”
“Thanks for your exceptional care of our animals while we’re gone on long trip. Jackie did a great job while we were away even helped with our teenager, getting her to orientation at school before we were able to get back. The Dogs said that Jackie was fun to play with and hang out with while watching TV.”
About: i have always loved all animals, especially dogs. Growing up we always had animals at our house, and I was always in charge of taking care of them, bathing them and playing with them. I went to school for pre-vet but after graduation I decided to pursue a graduate degree instead of a vet degree. Nevertheless, my love and passion for taking care of animals never faded. My senior year of college I got my first, fully mine, puppy. She is the light of my world, and I have learned so much from her. She has grown with me. I got her when she was only 6mo old, trained her and now people ask me how I trained her so well. She is now 5yrs old and she is the best dog ever. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own. I do have a full-time job (Monday-friday, 7am-4pm) but I am free the rest of the day, my dog, Zoey, would love another dog to play with while I am gone! She is very well behaved. During the weekends I would be 100% available to watch the dogs all day if necessary. I do live in an apartment complex but i usually take Zoey on walks at least 3 times a day so I would be more than happy to do the same for your furbaby. If you need me to go to your house, I will always let you know when I arrive and when I leave. Zoey is not crate trained but if you need me to have a crate for your dog, I have one at home. I will make sure to send you pictures throughout the day and make you as comfortable and happy with the way I care for your babies :).
About: I am a farm girl and I possess a genuine passion for animals. My experience includes supervising and house sitting, handling various types of pets, administering medication, etc. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of pets under my care. I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times throughout the week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to accommodate different schedules for walks, check-ins, or overnight house sitting. I have two cats and several fish so I understand how important it is to have a schedule set. I am very attentive and can stay over nights if needed. I have experience with small and large animals as well as exotic pets
About: I’m a college student who’s majoring in poultry science. has all ways grown up with dogs as well as cats. I’m looking to dog sit and provide great care to someone else’s pet. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs. I’ve also taken care of multiple cats. For taking care of dogs I like to take them on long walks,play fetch, give them lots of attention and make sure they aren’t lonely. For cats to like to make sure they get attention to if they want it and play with them if they like to play. I also like to send updates of how the pets are doing as well as pictures. With me your pets and home will always be safe and cared for.
“Steph is an incredible person and I would not hesitate to have her watch our boy Bishop again!! She gave regular updates and piece of mind the whole time we were away! She left our house completely spotless and even left us the most amazing cookies to come home too! I couldn't recommend her enough. I think if Bishop could he would also say she was his new best friend! We hope to see her before we book in for our Christmas trip :)”
About: I've taken care of dogs in the past. I also have a dog of my own (couscous) and she my world. I love furry babies. I originally created this account in 2019 but wasn’t active due to school commitments. My schedule is now more flexible — I’m available Tuesday through Friday, as I work weekends as a CNA. I’m hoping to begin working with Rover during my free time. I have experience caring for my own dog, Couscous, and I’d love the opportunity to support other pet owners as well If my client has a fenced yard ill make sure to play with them outside. Take them out for walks and make sure to read the instructions that are left for me to do.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 10. I’ve always loved being able to care for my loved ones pets, whether it be walking, bathing, or feeding them. I have had almost any pet you can imagine, and it brightens my day to be surrounded by animals. I am a driven and caring student wanting to put myself through college, and make animals happy! I’m currently working a flexible schedule where I can choose my own hours, so I am practically available whenever I am needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a large dog and cat friendly home with a fenced yard and a walking trail by the water that would be enjoyable for dog walks. There are no children in the home, and I have a friendly dog and cat who loves to play if allowed.
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
About: I've been pet-sitting for over a decade. I prioritize open communication (and plenty of adorable fur baby pics!) so that you can enjoy your trip without the stress. Some examples of specialized care: Geriatric care, Administering prescribed medications, Blind+Deaf pet care, etc. I'm an actor! This means that sometimes I have to travel for work. I also have several regulars that I pet-sit for, and their schedules are booked months in advance. Because of this, I ask that you provide dates as early as possible so that I can confirm whether or not I have availability. Whenever I meet a new pet, I will ask in-depth questions about their routines. It makes an easier transition for the lil guys if I'm able to maintain their schedule as closely as possible. I will also double-check how long a pet can safely be left alone in case I need to run errands or there is an emergency.
About: I’m a mature responsible adult with years of experience taking care of other people’s pets and have had several dogs of my own! I currently have 2 standard poodles that are my whole world. I am currently available to care for your pets whenever you need me. My job is as flexible as you need it to be to suite your schedule. I will follow your pet care instructions to the letter. I recognize that routine is important to animals of all types and will do my very best to ensure that they’re comfortable and feel secure.
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for family members and neighbors throughout my life. This includes over night sitting and stopping by to walk, feed, or any other needs the owner has. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am available to watch, let out, and walk your pets from 9:00 AM- 12:30 PM, and again from 6:00 PM through the evening. I am also available for over night sitting if needed! I do not work weekends, so I am available all day Saturday and Sunday! I have a fenced in yard and clean home, along with my cat. I can crate dogs if needed. Your pets will be completely safe with me!
About: I've always had a love for dogs! And thankfully I have friends and family that trust me to house sit while they are out of town. I do have another part-time job, its very early in the morning. So my availability will be open after 3pm. Monday-Saturday. Sundays are completely open. For my friends and family its usually at their place, I myself live alone so would have completely no distraction. Also live very close to a dog park.
About: I have been raised with pets all my life, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc... I have helped my friends, families, and neighbors watch their cats and dogs with the care and love they need! I am currently a full-time college student, so I am more flexible on the weekends, but am also available on the week days at night.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 529 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gentry. 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 Gentry 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 Gentry 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 Gentry 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.
