“Shea is awesome! Our kitties love her and she is great. She sent us so many photos and updates while we were gone and left our place clean and tidy. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Thalia 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!”

“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”

“Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.”

“We were really happy with Christina! She took great care of our little Zoey and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we could tell she was comfortable and well looked after.”


“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!”

“Anna 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.”

“Markie was wonderful with our 4 rescue dogs that have some behavioral issues! One is blind since birth, so he is very selective who he likes and trusts. He was comfortable with Markie right away during our meet and greet, so that put me at ease. While we were away we received pictures and detailed updates daily. Upon returning home, our house looked just as we left it. Markie washed the sheets and towels that were used and even mopped the floors where the pups chose to not use the doggie door. We were very happy with our house sitting services.”

“Roberta was amazing! My pup was walked every day and I was sent multiple pics of each walk. Roberta was also house sitting for me and the house was immaculate when I got back. I couldn’t even tell she was here. Will hire her in the future for sure.”

“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.”

“This was our second time using shanley and she is so Amazing. Extremely communicative and truley loves our critters which makes us feel at ease when going on trips. Will defineilty use her services again”
“We couldn’t 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 pup’s 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!”


“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!”

Tasha was great pet sitting at my place with my cat and dog for over a week, keeping me well updated. My pets didn't always cooperate as expected but she was able to still work through any barriers and still took great care of them and my place! Thank you Tasha!

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.

Nicole was great! She was very friendly and attentive during our meet and greet, even with both of my kids being loud and distractive. She sent photos every day which my toddler loved and our animals were well taken care of. My dog has to have a few pills and can be difficult, Nicole was able to get her to take them so my mind was at ease. Nicole left our house in great shape as well which is very appreciated!

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 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.
