“Our second time using Jordyn to watch our dog/home. She’s always very communicative and spends lots of time playing with our dog. We love the photo/video updates throughout the stay.”
“Isabella did a great job with our two dogs overnight! We had some changes last minute on our end to arrival and departure times and she was very flexible with our needs. She sent lots of pictures, asked good questions, followed our instructions, and we came back to happy dogs! Thank you!!”
“Eloise did a wonderful job watching our two boys in our home. She provided messages and pictures at great intervals. It made us so relaxed knowing she was with our boys. I would recommend Eloise for your pet.”
“Wendy was amazing! She went above and beyond. Kept the same schedule and hung out as much as she could before and after work. She even brought in our packages while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own baby. It is important to have someone you trust while you’re away so you don’t spend your trip worrying!! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their favorite spot, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy :) Work fully remote, available anytime! I have weekends available as well just let me know what you and your let need and I’m there! My dog is crate trained as well to provide space for your dog as well if need be. I have 2 dog parks down stairs with a quiet neighborhood to go for walks in and plenty of room for your pet to play!
“This was my first experience of using Rover so I was a little unsure of how it all worked but Jennifer was such a blessing to find, her knowledge and experience of dogs and rescue is invaluable. Angus was walked and played with and entertained. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend away without worry. They even had an adventure with a squirrel being chased into the house !!!! Jennifer was very capable and confident and calm and was able to get the squirrel out !! much to Angus' excitement. LOL Jennifer was punctual, and left my home just as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter.”
About: Animals gravitate toward me and it's made me very familiar with their temperament and upkeep. I can understand them pretty well despite the language barrier and I love spending time with them regardless of whatever nightmares they conjure for me to clean. I am a part time caretaker so that leaves me with flexible hours. I can also be available on short notice. And who wouldn't want to spend their free time with pets? I make sure the home is in order when I arrive and before I leave. I do a final walk through before leaving the home to confirm it is secure.
“Erika was by far the best rover experience we’ve had. She went well above and beyond of what we expected. We were away from our phones most of the weekend for our wedding, and she kept us updated every few hours. Never once felt any worry! She left our house in a better condition than when we left it 😁”
About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life, and have had my own dogs for 10+ years. Right now I have three- a tiny Chihuahua, a medium Carolina mix, and a HUGE Rhodesian Ridgeback. I trained them myself and they are my whole world! I would be happy to work on some training with your dog, I really have a passion for it.💜 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37 I work full-time, so I'm mostly available in the evenings. I am usually off on Sunday and Monday or Sunday and Friday so I have more time on those days. I can do whatever is required for each specific dog. I have no problem getting dogs in and out of crates, walking any size dog while working on leash manners if desired by the owner, feeding and playing, whatever your pup needs!
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, my commitment goes beyond basic care. I bring a unique set of skills and a genuine love for animals that ensures your pets receive the highest level of attention and care. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet individually, tailoring my care to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. I believe in keeping pets active and entertained. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or engaging in interactive toys, I make sure your pets have fun and get the exercise they need. My schedule is flexible during the weekend During the week I’m not available in the morning but I am flexible in the afternoon or if we need to add another week day. I am well-versed in pet first aid ensuring your pet’s safety at all times. I also keep a close eye on their health, looking out for any signs of distress or illness.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!
“Becca was wonderful and took care of everything. She knew exactly how to put my nervous little chihuahua at ease. By the end of the week she was his best friend. She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her.”
“Kylee is very knowledgeable and experienced with animals. She was flexible and accommodating with my pets' various needs (2 dogs and 2 cats, 2 of whom are senior with health conditions and special dietary and supplement needs). Everything was kept clean and she was communicative throughout. All of our pets were happy and relaxed upon our return. I highly recommend Kylee and her team!”
About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, where I've gained extensive experience handling groups of dogs, recognizing behavior cues, and providing safe, attentive care in a fast-paced environment. I'm also an approved veterinary assistant, which has given me additional training in animal health and wellness. I'm experienced in administering both oral and topical medications and know how to monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness will always be my top priority. In addition to working with animals, I'm a full-time college student and college cheerleader, so I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing what I truly love—caring for pets and giving them the same love and attention they receive at home. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide personalized, compassionate care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can relax knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! While I will have a busy schedule, I will always make it a priority to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you’re away! This includes sticking to their schedule to the best of my ability, making sure they get all their energy out before bed time, or anything else they need!
“Fantastic job with our cat— took the time to play and spend time with him. Our cat got more comfortable more quickly than he does with most sitters. During our meet and greet, you could tell he loves animals. Would book again 100%.”
About: I have been taking care of animals from a young age of 15. I grew up with a German shepherd which started my love for dogs. I use to volunteer at an animal shelter in Iowa when I was going to college. I would walk every single dog because it would break my heart to see them stuck in such a small space. I also rescued around 20 dogs, 50 cats, and one monkey when I was living overseas. I am very empathetic towards animals especially because they are such innocent beings. I also worked with different rescue groups overseas. I currently have 3 dogs I rescued from Peru South America. Their stories are pretty crazy but now they are living the dog dream. So I am very excited to work with animals! I am a stay at home mom looking to help owners with their pets. Having 3 dogs myself I know how necessary it is to have help! 1st I would like to come meet the pet first so we can create a trust. Then I would make sure they were comfortable in their home with plenty of food and water. I would just follow all the rules the owner has for me especially if there dog is on a specific diet. If it is okay with the owner also carry training treats with me for walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilberts
From the moment we met Jana during the house visit with our fur babies we knew she'd be wonderful and she was. Our cat and chihuahua warmed up to her instantly and we could tell they had lots of fun with Jana, too. Beyond that, Jana is incredibly responsible and has great animal instincts. While we were away, our kitty got into something, and she knew exactly what to do and handled the whole situation incredibly well. We are so grateful to have found Jana and recommend her highly for fur baby sitting and house sitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gilberts is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 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 2,461 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gilberts. 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 Gilberts 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 Gilberts 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 Gilberts 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.
