“Shea is Fantastic!!! She's on time, reliable, and easy to talk to! I appreciate the pictures and communication when on the road. Much appreciated and Highly recommended!”
“Jessica is truly wonderful! She cared for my pets at my home with great love, treating them as if they were her own. She regularly sent me numerous adorable photos and updates. When I mentioned it was my dog's birthday while I was away, she even sang "Happy Birthday" to him and gave him an extra treat. I highly recommend her!”
“Tamantha, did a great job with house-sitting my dogs. The dogs were happy for us to be home and didn't pick up any behaviors while we were gone. No issues, no drama. I would totally hire Tamantha again.”
“Tahlia was great! Our house was left in perfect condition and our dog was very happy to have company while we were away. She was also very flexible when our vacation had to be postponed a day.”
“Rose was great! She helped us care for our new puppy who is a lot of work! She kept our home clean which was not easy to do with our little one and kept her entertained while we were away.”
“Marimar did a wonderful job taking care of our three animals and our home while we took a vacation. She communicated well throughout and the pups and kitty all loved her. I would absolutely recommend Marimar’s pet sitting services!”
“Kelly not only took excellent care of our animals she also helped them stay happy and balanced. After meeting with her, I knew they were going to be very well loved and have all their needs met. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were processing a stressful move. I could not recommend Kelly enough! I will always ask for her first in the future. ☺️”
“We had Marianne house sit and take care of our 2 large dogs, a chihuahua and our 2 cats for about 10 days. She also watered our garden and plants, took in our mail and signed for deliveries for our home business. We had not left our animals with anyone in 5 years and they are our "kids". Our female was a little hesitant to make friends with her (We expected that might be an issue since she is not a "friendly" dog.) but within a day or so she was letting Marianne give her belly rubs and nudging her hand for attention. This all put our minds at ease. She also gave our chihuahua eye medication twice daily and sent us pics of everyone settling in daily. We were concerned about our cats accepting her and the new routine but they settled in very quickly with her. We are glad to find Maranne and will be using here again for another trip in October.”
“Allie did a great job taking care of our shy little Maggie. It is obvious she is very caring in the much appreciated pictures and updates she sent while staying with pittie. Our house even seemed cleaner when we returned than when we left! We look forward to booking Allie again soon!”
“Roberta was perfect for our highly energetic Weimaraner. I knew Andy loved her, because when I got home, instead of giving me all his wild, I'm happy your home attention, he was sharing his time with us and Roberta. She also had the upper hand over him, which is also so important for Andy. Thank you Roberta!!!”
“Paige was so incredible with our three big dogs, one of whom is reactive and another is a giant puppy. She was communicative and took great care of our home too! She sent lots of pictures and even left us a cute note about her time with the pups :)”
“Christina did a great job with our pups. One of our dogs can be overly anxious and a handful, but when we arrived home everyone was calm. They have maintained a great disposition since we’ve been home. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”
“Amazing overnight dogsitter! Our dog normally is a really picky eater, but Emma managed this obstacle without any issues. She also administered her daily medication with no issues. We’ll continue to book her!”
“Leslie took such great care of my dog, Cookie, over the weekend! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Cookie was well cared for and happy. I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave my pup. I would absolutely recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I’d be happy to have her watch Cookie again!”
“Emily was fantastic watching our dogs in our home while we were out of town. She followed our care instructions to a T and was very communicative with us during her stay. I would recommend booking with her!”
“Mia is amazing she is my go to and always takes good care of my animals and is clean! It’s a relief being able to leave my animals at home instead of boarding them. She is definitely trustworthy and will be who with book with moving forward”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
My 2 senior pups seemed to enjoy their time with Laura. She seemed to understand them even though they don't adjust very easily to new situations very easily. I felt confident that they were in good hands while I was away. She sent updates and pictures periodically so I was able to feel connected while I was away. She did a good job dealing with them.
Jessica is great with my dog who can be a bit reactive! You can tell she has a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and I would trust her with mine any time. My shy cat Millie also loves her, there’s something about Jessica that makes animals just trust her!
Lorinda is the best sitter we have ever encountered on Rover after avidly using the app for 5+ years. She’s reliable, caring and responsible. We felt so at ease during our trip with our dog in her care. She sent us updates & photos and consistently followed our care instructions. We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!!
I was ready to give up on Rover after many failed attempts to secure a sitter but am so glad I found Grace! She was very friendly and communicative. Immediately upon meeting I could tell my dog and home would be in good hands. I am confident my boy got plenty of love from Grace while I was gone and I will definitely be having her return!
Rachelle was amazing! From my initial contact, all the way through to the end, she was excellent with communication and updates. This was our first time using a pet sitter in our home and Rachelle definitely took care of us! I would not hesitate to use her services again 👍🏼
Emily is terrific! We were gone for 2 weeks & felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. She walked our younger pup every morning (despite the heat) because he has a lot of energy to burn, sent regular photos of the doggos snuggling, and left our house so clean. She also sent text updates, which really helped since we were 9 time zones apart. I can’t recommend Emily enough — she went above & beyond, and our dogs were so well cared for.
Madi was just amazing! We have two senior dogs and she jumped right in to love them while we were traveling. She was on top of all of their meds and sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on how they were doing. Thank you so much Madi! We will definitely book again!
This was the first time Ariana watched my dog Libby. She took care of Libby in my home. I was so impressed with Ariana‘s great communication, care provided to Libby, and how much she respected my home by leaving it just like I left it. While she was staying at my house, we got a bad storm, and my neighbors tree branch fell on my roof. Ariana took great pictures and informed me right away of what was going on. I was so impressed with Ariana and I will for sure ask her to care for Libby again. Thanks again, Ariana! 💕
This was our first time choosing the house sitting option but we are glad we did. Tamantha followed our instructions (there were many) and took care of all our pets (even fed the stray cat that visits our house). She was responsible and courteous and we were happy to have someone on site while we were away.
Macy has absolutely amazing!! She watched our dog and two kitties and sent updates everyday. Our dog is kenneled and she had no issue hanging out at the house to let her be out more which was very important to me. Our flights home were also super delayed and she had no problem coming back out to check on our dog again. We will definitely use Macy for future bookings!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gilbert on Rover is $42.27 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gilbert. 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 Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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.

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.
