About: I have hands-on experience working in a busy veterinary clinic, where I interact with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments every day. My background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic pet care, medication schedules, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. I’ve also cared for dogs and other animals throughout my life, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like family and provide dependable, attentive care. During the fall semester, I’m on the go between classes but have several blocks of downtime throughout the day, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and check-ins. My schedule allows me to be available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many weekends. Because I plan my days carefully, I can provide reliable, consistent care and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. At home, my dog is well cared for daily with the help of my younger brother, ensuring he receives regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and attention. In clients’ homes, I offer drop-in visits, feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while owners are away. I make it a priority to follow all care instructions closely and keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. For overnight stays, I not only care for the pets but also help keep the home tidy by cleaning up after myself, maintaining pet areas, and treating the home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in good hands.
“David & Lauren were great! The house sat for 5 nights and took great care of my two kitties. They were very responsive, sent photos/ videos, and even washed the bedding before they left! The next time I need a sitter they will be my first choice, I would recommend them to anyone.”
“Meri was very responsible and caring. She took great care of Bubba and Panda. The dogs were happy and well fed. My home was immaculate when I returned. I would be happy to use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around multiple pets my whole life and truly love being around animals. Some people even call me the “pet whisperer” because I’m very patient and naturally connect well with pets. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making animals feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I’m also good with shy, picky, sick, senior, or stubborn pets and understand that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I’m working part time, only a couple days of the week, so pet care is my main priority. days vary on the week but I am very flexible! I will be pet sitting, so in your home I will be clean & respectful of your things, while providing safety and comfort to your pets.
About: I have always had animals, especially dogs growing up. I have experience with senior dogs as we have one at present. A part schnauzer, "Betty" who is very spoiled. We have been boarding/pet sitting dogs for about 3 years now. We have a very large yard, total of 7 acres, with a large portion of it fenced in. They have plenty of room to roam amd will get play time often as my children love dogs also. Someone is always at home so your furbaby wont be alone much if at all. We would love the opportunity to meet and love your fur baby and thank you for considering us. I work part time nights and my teenage daughter is homeschooling so someone is always at home. We are a very physically active household so your furbaby will get lots of play/walk time if needed. I have a large fenced yard and one indoor dog that will keep your dog company. If your furbaby needs to be crated at night we can do that but most usually just sleep with the kids or on the couch.
“Krystl did an amazing job watching over our two boys while we went out of town for a few day. Both the boys loved her. I would HIGHLY recommend her again many more times in the future. Thank you so much Krystl for watching over and taking great care of both my boys. 🥰❤️”
“David stayed with our pets (cat and dog) for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Now, we’ve used David before (and had NO complaints), but let’s face it, 3 weeks is a long time and Australia is a long way away. David was fantastic. We received daily photos/updates and had zero concerns while away. We left lots of detailed info and ‘what if’ plans, and David’s only feedback was ‘I love lists’. He is always open to requests and specifics without complaint. We had a wonderful trip without the stress of wondering how our babies were faring. Highly recommend David for short and long-term sits. Thank you, David!”
“ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS!!! Will be using her everytime!!! She kept our dogs at our air bnb for the day so we didn’t have to worry about them needing to go to the bathroom or getting anxious in a new setting. Sally absolutely rocked it with our great dane and pitbull Mix! Out great dane weighs 163lbs and our pitty weighs 55lb so she could definitely handle her own!!!”
“Melanie did a great job! She watched our puppy and house for a whole week! She kept our new puppy on his demanding schedule and gave us updates every day. We are very thankful for her help.”
“Janee was a perfect pet sitter for our two dogs and gecko. She sent great pictures and videos every day. Timely, thorough and dependable! Dogs were healthy and happy even after this longer than typical trip for us. Would definitely recommend Janee!!”
“Chuck is the best! He really dedicates his time to make sure your pets are attended to. He literally spends more time with our dogs when we had him than we do. Thank you so much Chuck for being there for our boys!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was little—they’re my favorite thing on this earth. I started pet sitting 2 years ago and it’s been a joy ever since. I provide feeding, watering, walks, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and even overnight stays to ensure your pets get the best care possible. I only go to school 3 days a week and not for long at all, so my school schedule never interferes with my pet sitting schedule! I have a fenced in yard and 2 small dogs at home! My dogs do not have any problems with other dogs but I do keep them separated from other peoples dogs just in case! I never let them out my site at mine or a clients home.
“Joan did a great job watching Rico and Acadia! She was very proactive and helpful, which was greatly appreciated. If we need a dog sitter again, we will definitely hire her!”

“Allison watched my dog, Jax, for 10 days while I was on a trip out the country. I was extremely nervous about leaving him for that long for the first time, but Allison was so amazing with him that I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about if he was okay! She went above and beyond to make him (and me) feel comfortable. Jax is a pretty high anxiety dog and is quite large (75lb pitbull), but he seemed to be totally at ease with her. She left my house very clean and tended to my plants as well! 100% would recommend Allison to even the most anxious of pet parents like myself!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gilead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 209 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gilead. 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 Gilead 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 Gilead 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 Gilead 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.
