“Shea was AMAZING! She met with me and my cat Willy before the scheduled Rover Kitty Sitting. She was very thorough and we immediately connected. This was our first meeting and I felt completely comfortable giving her a key to my house. She did not disappoint. After she left I found my cat missing her and sleeping in the bedroom she stayed in. That told me a lot about how she cared for Willy. Highly recommend Shea!”
“Tamantha provided exceptional care for both my dogs and my home while I was away. As a first-time Rover user, I was a bit anxious—especially since one of my dogs is 13 and requires special medical attention. Tamantha was incredibly patient, responsive, and consistently positive throughout the entire experience. The peace of mind she gave me was truly priceless. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Loving, caring home with dogs of my own. I've been a part time pet sitter almost all my life and my passion is dogs but lover of all animals. I can take care of any breed or size dog, no restrictions. There are no children in my home and everyone here loves dogs so them being comfortable here will not be an issue. I always have plenty of different kinds of toys and treats for your specific dogs needs. I can even help teach your loved ones a trick or two, should you be so inclined. My care is top notch and hard to beat! Pet care seamlessly blends into my routine because my daytime job is highly flexible. This open schedule gives me total freedom to dedicate blocks of time to walking dogs, completing drop in visits or checking in on boarding fur babies. While I am starting school in a few weeks, my classes only take up 2.5 hours on two or three evenings per week. This minor commitment ensures I still have maximum availability during high demand daytime hours, plus plenty of completely free nights each week for attentive overnight house sitting! When caring for the animals in your home, my main focus is security, cleanliness, and minimizing separation anxiety. I follow your household rules precisely, ensure all doors and gates are securely locked, and collect your mail or water plants upon request. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a thoroughly scooped litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of one on one attention through focused playtime and comforting belly rubs!
“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.”
“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🩷🩷”
“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!”
“We are so grateful for Marianne! She was absolutely amazing with our fur baby, Zara, and went above and beyond the entire time we were away. She was so patient, kind, and understanding, and even stepped in to watch my brother’s dogs for a few days when his sitter canceled last minute. Truly a lifesaver! Marianne kept us updated with photos and videos that made our day and gave us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you so much, Marianne, for treating them like your own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with you again!”
“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!”
“Leslie is wonderful! My senior cat had recently recovered from an emergency surgery and I was feeling really anxious about leaving him for a week, but Leslie took such good care of him and my other kitty- I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. She sent daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. Leslie is reliable and kind and I am so grateful for the care and attention she provided to my fur babies. I would 1000% reccommend her!”
“Mari was awesome! We needed someone to stay late with our two puppies, and she was extremely flexible with our schedule, staying with them the entire night. Our dogs loved her and we appreciated having someone care for them like she did. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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. ☺️”
About: I've been pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages for 5 years! I absolutely love to spend time and give animals love and attention. As well as treats! I know what it's like to be away from our furry babies and always try to make it seem like they have a friend! I am currently working part time Monday-Wednesday. I can stay over any day of the week. I have lots of time to give pets attention and care! When pet sitting for others I try to keep their regular schedules as consistent as possible. I make sure I spend as much time as possible with them, because I know how hard it can be when their owners are away. If asked I will provide lots of pictures of your pet throughout my stay! And always text updates!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
“Had a great experience with Megan taking care of my 2 pups overnight in my home. Dogs were happy and we had great communication while I was gone, with lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend Megan!”
“Sydney was wonderful! She followed all our instructions, asked clarification questions and left the house in great condition when we returned. Our dog is on medicine, and both pets get nutritional supplements daily, and all was taken care of properly and we received great pics of the babies while we were gone. Our pets love her and she was very attentive and caring to them. We will not hesitate to hire Sydney again!”
“Alicia was great about sending photos and being flexible for our needs. We came back to happy, healthy pups. We have already hired Alicia again, and we are considering another couple days out of town now that we have someone we can trust.”

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!
Laura was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs received plenty of love, attention, and great care. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the backyard, which is no small feet with a German Shepherd and Border Collie. When we returned, our house was clean, tidy, and exactly as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would gladly have Laura watch our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is intelligent, responsible, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. I felt confident trusting her with my dogs from the moment I booked, but she still managed to exceed my expectations. She provided exceptional care and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gilbert on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,540 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.
