About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
“Natalia did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat and our house. She was highly communicative, very flexible as our plans shifted, and sent tons of adorable photos and videos that were so reassuring to us as we traveled. She left our house in better shape than we did, and was generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”

“Gabriella takes such great care of our pups! They get so excited to see her every time. She is great at giving me updates on how they're doing, and she is always on time. Thank you Gabriella!”

About: Been taking care of dogs and cats since 7 which includes family and friends pets. Enjoy going on walks especially when it good outside but it good all the time. I work part-time every monday, wensday and Saturdays for my church. I'm mostly free every day I usually work 5 -8 and wesnday 7- 9 so many things before or after that time would work great. I will always check on the dog or cat to see if any wrong or ok. if there something that dog or cat should not have i'll make very sure it will not be able to reach it always give the pet or pets company.

“Addison is amazing!! She has dog sat my 4 giant fur babies a couple of times. They are a handful but she is very good with them. You can tell she has a very calming presence and my dogs really like her. She is very responsible and very responsive. Would highly reccomend her to take care of your dogs or cats!”


“We had a wonderful experience with our house sitter! They took great care of our dog and two cats, making sure all of our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. They were responsible, reliable, and respectful of our home, which gave us peace of mind during our time away. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!”

About: Growing up with many types of pets, I know how important our little animals are to us! If you entrust me with your pet I promise to love them as my own and return them to you happy and healthy :) I’m currently coaching for a boys club team which is only a few hours out of the week. This leaves me with plenty of time to invest into your pets! I’ve experienced many different pets and many different stages. I know the struggles of potty training and the long nights of barks or meows! I am ready for whatever your pets need:)
About: I absolutely love animals and will treat your babies like my own while you’re away. I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care don’t scare me! My biggest goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re doing great. Also, I’m a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, I’m happy to check in as often as your pet needs. Need a late-night or even 2 AM potty break? I got you! Weekends are even better because I’m available all day to give your babies plenty of attention, walks, and love. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that makes them comfortable. I’m very patient with anxious, senior, and special needs pets, and I’ll never force interaction if they need space. Most importantly, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!
About: I’ve always loved dogs and pets alike. I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have taken care of my friends’ and families’ pets as well. I love playing with pets as well. I do have a dog myself and other experiences with other pets as well. I’m also a college student so I’m able to take care of your pets during holidays and vacation times as well. During the week I’m never busy and I’m usually always home so there’s no need to worry about me leaving your pets alone. I am a college student so I’m usually here for vacation times and holidays. Right now the best way to care for your pets is to be able to care for them at your home because my yard and courtyard is under construction until after the 4th of July but usually my yard is fenced around and also have a good size courtyard for your pet to hang around. I also have a dog that’s very pet friendly so when I can take care of your pet they won’t be alone. If I take care of your pet at your house, I would be able to bathe them, walk them, feed them, and sleep with them if needed. If it’s at my house then I would be able to do everything except for bathing them.
About: I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience providing overnight care, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ daily routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe, happy, and comfortable. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attentive care, ensuring they receive the support and companionship they need. I also keep pet owners updated with regular communication so they can enjoy their time away with peace of mind. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet. I offer overnight house sitting and other pet care services based on my availability. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s established feeding, exercise, bathroom, medication, and rest routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Before each booking, I communicate with pet owners to understand their expectations, discuss their pet’s specific needs, and confirm that I can provide the appropriate level of care while they are away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and comfort are my highest priorities. When caring for pets in their own homes, I help them feel secure and at ease by maintaining their established routines and familiar surroundings. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, exercise routines, and household guidelines. I treat each client’s home with respect, maintain a clean and organized environment, and provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to deliver reliable, attentive care while giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind.
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family. I have assisted in training puppies as well as adult dogs, so I am more than happy to assist in training your animals while you're away by keeping up a specific schedule or regimen. I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings. For this reason, majority of my availability for short visits will be in the mornings, but happy to discuss other arrangements if needed. I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.

“I’m so glad we found Courtni! Finding a great pet sitter can be really hard, our previous sitter was with us for years and moved so we needed to find a new sitter we can use regularly. Courtni was friendly, communicative and I trusted her right off the bat. Our dogs mean everything to us and we didn’t worry at all while we were gone. I will absolutely recommend her to everyone we know, she’s wonderful!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Gillis is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $37 per night.

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 Gillis 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 Gillis 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 Gillis 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gillis. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
