“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.”
“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!”
“Tamantha took great care of my house and pets while I was away for almost 3 weeks. I had never left my fur kids for that long and was a bit worried. She showed up on time and stayed at my place and took great care of my babies. My home was well taken care of and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again! Thanks Tamantha!”
“She was always made a point to check in with me about what's going on. She would let me know what times she had to leave. She checked in to make sure that works for us. She took very good care of my babies. They were very happy with her. I recommend her to anyone. She is a responsible person, she would check in with me if she had any questions for me.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Anna! She took amazing care of our puppy. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive to all of his needs! We would absolutely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
“Nicole was so great! She has a very laid back, easy demeanor that helped soothe my anxiety of leaving my dog and home with her. She was very responsive, respectful, and so sweet to our dog. We will definitely be using her any time we travel. Moose (our dog) was relaxed and happy when we got home which tells me he wasn’t stressed out while we were gone.”
“Kory is so amazing, this was the longest we’ve left Coco and thank god it was with him! He kept me in the loop, and loved our baby and took such great care of her (and our house!) I didn’t worry for a single minute knowing he was taking care of our girly and home. Seriously, look no further Kory is THE BEST!”
“Sydney was wonderful. We had deadlines and she was early, which was appreciated. My Husky, Juno, warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was there for her for the day. She sent pics throughout the time which was really nice. We do travel frequently and Sydney is our new nanny.”
“Laura was the best fill in we have had to watch our zoo full of animals. The dogs absolutely loved her and she did an amazing job with my indoor/outdoor cat. We are hoping that we can make her our full time pet sitter when the needs arise! Thanks Laura!!!”
“Delaney did an amazing job taking care of my boys! Got lots of pictures and daily updates and they looked super happy the whole time! I will definitely use Delaney again in the future, I enjoy having the confidence knowing I'm leaving my dogs in good hands.”

“This is our second time having Maren watch our pup and she is wonderful! She kept up updated and sent pictures while we were on our trip. Our doggy was happy and well cared for!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilbert
Jessica was amazing. I’m very picky of who stays in my home and watches my pups while we are away. I couldn’t 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 I’m 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.
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.
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 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gilbert is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $68 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 4,490 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
