About: Hi! My name is Brooke, I’m 24 and a dog mom to my Zeusy man for almost 7 years and have had dogs my whole life. Currently just trying to make some extra money on my off days and figured this would be good route to go! I’m experienced in all dog behavior and can handle reactive and/or aggressive dogs as well! I’ll protect and take care of your babies as I would my own :) I also own a photography/marketing business called Knecht Co so if you ever want some permanent memories of your fur babies, I’d be happy to do so! :) I work full time Monday - Thursday so my availability is Friday - Sunday. I can do check ins during the week after 6pm at the minimum! I’m not able to provide boarding, we have 3 dogs in our house. I am able to do dog sitting and walking! I treat my dogs like my own and sleep snuggled up next to my guy every night! One thing I can provide is peace of mind that your babies are taken care of and loved while your away :)
“Cristel is absolutely fantastic! Inga loves her and so do we ❤️❤️! She is SO loving to our dog and communicates very well as to how our girl is doing, even asking about our trip! I would give Cristel more stars, if I could!!”
“Aaren was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took good care of him and sent us pics and videos of him snuggling with her. Aaren has a unique understanding of dogs and we highly recommend her for sitting.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for caring for them. I currently have a fun, energetic 2-year-old Goldendoodle and a 7-year-old cat, so I'm experienced with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. As a registered nurse, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, administering medications if needed, and recognizing when something doesn't seem right. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll treat them like they're one of my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I currently work part-time, giving me flexible availability throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistent, personalized care. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to detail, prioritize safety, and communicate clearly. I'll treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return home.
“Moccha just loves Dawn and I think the feeling is mutual. It is so nice to be able to go away and feel good about leaving Moc and not having to bother family. They also feel good having met Dawn and let me know that Moc does not miss me. LOL How fortunate to have Dawn willing to do overnights for this neurotic pet owner. Big thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats from a young age. Family & friends have relied on me to take care of their pets on vacations or weekend holidays away. In college, I’ve taken care of some pets for summer break as well for classmates and friends that live far away. I’m currently working part time remotely so have plenty of time to walk, feed & play with your pet! I’m available M-F flexible time based on your needs & Sundays especially mornings upon request. I have a lovely front & back yard for your pets to run around in and a safe neighborhood to go on a walk. At your home, I am prepare food, walk your pet & play for them :)
“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”
“I highly recommend Shelia! Our two dogs and cat loved her! It was a relief to know they were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely be rebooking her for future trips.”
“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”
“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

Deanna was wonderful giving him medication unexpectedly, keeping tabs on his progress to the antibiotics, keeping us informed of how he was feeling, and even offered to take him to the vet for follow up. She communicated well with us and sent pictures. We will absolutely use her again when needed, as she kept our boy happy and safe!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gilbert
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gilbert on Rover is $130.43 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 708 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.
