âMarkie was an absolute treasure! She stayed at our home for 8 days to care for our new kitten, senior dog ( who required daily meds) and our skittish rescue cat. We received daily, detailed check ins of how all three were doing & all of their care needs were tended to each and every day. I feel she went above and beyond, giving each pet the type of attention, care, and stimulation they needed to be comfortable. I am so so glad we found such a gem of a person and pet sitter and would 100 % recommend Markie! I will definitely be hiring her again :)â
âShea was fantastic! Our pup was well taken care of, our house was spotless when we came home, and Shea sent plenty of pictures showing the fun our pup was having with her. We cannot recommend her enough!â
âMs. Kelly was awesome. The dogs loved her. She was patient calm and friendly with them. It was their first Rover experience and by the second and third day they looked forward to seeing her. She gave photos and updates which was greatly appreciated and left feedback. Would 100 percent book with her again. Thank you so much!!!!!â
âWe couldnât have asked for a better pet sitter! While we were away in London, she took such wonderful care of our dog and gave us complete peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and treated our dog like one of her own. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which made being so far away much less stressful. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pupâs happiness and well-being, and she always went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy to care for their pets. We will absolutely be booking with her again!â
âThalia was reliable, punctual, communicative, and kind. Spent the whole day at my house with my dog that has separation anxiety. When I arrived home, everything looked just as it was before and my dog was her usual waggley self. We will definitely use her services again!â
âIâve used Julissa a couple times. Both times a great experience. Great with communication. Even took Booker on a car ride. Would highly highly recommend hiding her.â
âdelaney was so wonderful and easy to work with! first of all, my a/c went out while we were gone and she was so patient and helpful with getting it fixed!! and of course she was great with the dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. thank you delaney!â
âAnna did an amazing job taking care of my babies. She also helped with training Holly on the use of the doggie door. The house was left neatl and clean. I will use her again in the future.â
âBrooke was fabulous when caring for our furry family! I felt at ease and comfortable while away, knowing they were in caring hands. Thank you for taking the extra time and effort with our Scooby. Weâll be reaching out in the future!â
âDesalie did a great job. Our rescue pups usually get very stressed when we leave them, and this was the longest time we've been gone. In the past, Penny has chewed her paws until they were raw, and Sadie doesn't eat much when we're gone. But Desalie walked them every day, spent a lot of time with them, and they ate like normal and played a lot - they were so happy to see us and no evidence of anxiety for either one. Thanks Desalie!â
âWe had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer! She was caring, attentive, and dependable, and it was clear that our dogs were in good hands. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, well cared for, and loved while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being treated like family. We truly appreciate her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!â
âAlanna was great with my 3 boys. I got updates and pictures every morning. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, my house was clean and everything back to normal. I have already let Alanna know I want her to watch them next time.â
âBarbara was so attentive with our pets and stayed in contact with us, providing daily updates and photos. She left our home even cleaner than when we left, and it so nice to know our pets were in great hands!â
âWe had a great experience with our sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!â
âGreat experience with Adam! Mavâs happy as can be and received great care. Tons of updates and pics throughout my time away. Highly recommended if you need someone to be in-home & take care of your pup.â
âI am going to try to put in the words how much I truly appreciate Jennifer for everything she does for us. I have never been able to leave my dog tater on vacation, even with great dog sitters, without worrying. I have somehow been able to do that with Jennifer. She is absolutely amazing. I feel no concern for my house, my dog, anything when sheâs around and I am not exaggerating about this! I left for two weeks I have never- ever been gone that long and leading up to the trip I was honestly terrified because I didnât think I would be able to enjoy my time away since I was leaving Tater. She always puts all of our fears at ease, keeps us updated, and somehow every time I leave I come back and my home is more clean (not that that should ever be an expectation, and I promise it is not mine.) Plus I swear she fixed my washing machine too đ¤Ł. Jennifer from the bottom of our hearts thank you SO much. I hope you will always be here because we truly trust you, and will come to you every single time.â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
Dorito loves Amanda! She is such a great sitter! This is my second sit with her and I will absolutely book her again! She always has a great attitude and updates me frequently. She even got Dorito a pup cup! All of her needs were met and I never had to worry about for him.
Shea was amazing!! She took excellent care of my 3 dogs! They were all so happy and content when we got back, which is a huge deal for my chihuahua who is normally super upset and skinny when we leave. I am so grateful to Shea for the updates and taking care of the house as well. If you need someone extremely reliable and who will love your dogs as their own, she is your gal! Thank you Shea!!
10/10 experience working with Laura!! She was so fun, communicative and absolutely wonderful with our energetic dog. Weâve never had someone stay at our home before which can sometimes be a bit nerve racking but she made the process easy, sent us daily updates and took great care of our girl. Thank you Laura!!!
Jessica was amazing. Iâm very picky of who stays in my home and watches my pups while we are away. I couldnât have asked for a better rover. She gave updates with pictures and anytime I asked a question I got a timely response. The house looks great, my instructions were very long as Iâm an anxious dog mom and she followed every routine I listed out! She is great and I will be having her watch them again soon!
The cats were so chill and relaxed when we got home, so I know they were at ease with Alexa. She sent an update message and photos multiple times a day which put me at ease while I was out of town. It's so nice to know that there's no reason to worry when I'm away from my fuzzy ones.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gilbert
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gilbert is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,500 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gilbert. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
