“We are so grateful for the care our home and dog received during the five days we were away. Lauren was responsible, thoughtful, and treated Grace with genuine love. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which tells you everything about the level of care she provides. Communication was great and we always felt at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
About: I've rescued and taken care of Animals for as long as I can remember and will care for your pets as if they’re my own. Please schedule drop offs and pick ups between 6 am and 6 pm. If you cannot pick up by 8 pm please book a sleepover. There’s a dog door that leads to the fenced back yard. I go outside with them to make sure they are safe. My home is only 600 sf so it’s easy to see everyone at all times! There are plenty of cozy spots for your dog to relax.
“Shannon took exceptional care of our dog and cat and home for a week while we were away. She was communicative and sent pictures during the week. Our pets were very happy and healthy upon our return. We will be happy to book her in the future!!”
“Alyssa was fantastic! I have a house full of different pets, and she did a fantastic job managing all of their unique scheduling and dietary needs. She kept us informed of how things were going, and the house looks like she wasn't even here ( with the exception that she cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash even though we didn't ask her to do so). Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family for a long weekend away. She followed all of our instructions and sent us updates and pictures. She’s super kind and replies fast when messaged. The dogs absolutely adore her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always loved all types of animals! I have taken a few classes at UConn for canine and feline behavior and one animal training class. I own a cat currently, and I own and have alot of experience caring for tons of exotic animals from reptiles to amphibians and small mammals. I am very comfortable around all types of animals and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have volunteered back at home in NYC for SI Hope to care for kittens and older cats. I have done multiple dog volunteer days at the ACC so I am experienced with handling dogs and puppies alike. I’m also reliable, responsible, and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I am a seasonal worker so during the year I am a full time student. I have one to two classes a day as it's my senior year. I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and give them company! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! When caring for pets in their own home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you’re away!
“Eden was so wonderful with our pets and their tricky meds schedule. She was communicative and caring when any issues with the pets came up. Eden even made extra time for us when a family emergency kept us out of town longer than expected. We're lucky to have found her!”
About: i’ve have many types of breeds. i currently have two border collies and love working with animals. i can’t wait to meet yours, im excited it’s in my everyday routine , i have a very hyper breed so they are very active. i wake up and my dog is the first thing i take of , and i do the same throughout the day. i make sure she’s taken care of before other things. i do what is more comfortable for the dog , if they are hyper i’ll play with them until they are tired. if they are calm dogs i’ll feed them and make sure they are cared for either way.
“Diana stayed at our house with our 4 month old puppy for the weekend. She was so attentive and caring and was wonderful with our puppy who is still learning to be house trained and learning not to chew on shoes. I would definitely recommend Diana as a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I currently have a family dog, the breed being a Belgian Malinois, a breed known for being high activity. I am able to keep up with all her needs and wants wether it is a long walk/run, playing ball, or keeping her mind going. I currently run a small business of selling chocolate dipped sweets, I mainly do orders on the weekends but overall will most likely be able to help fulfill your needs! I won’t interact with others or other dogs while walking your dog to ensure no negative reactions come from it. For cats, I'll be sure they stay indoors unless you request otherwise. Aswell as accommodating any needs.
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Another great experience with Kim! She cares so much for our dog. We got pictures and updates as well. Kim has stayed in our home with our dog many times. She is the best.”
“Dina took such good care of our fur babies! We had no worries while on vacation and she checked in with photos (and dressed our pups up for Fourth of July too!) We lost power at our house on the last day, and Dina was fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure our pups were safe! 💞”
“Hailey was great with Banner! He was a little wary at first, but she was patient with him and eventually won him over. She took good care of him and left my house clean and tidy. Thanks Hailey!”
About: I have always loved dogs my entire life. My childhood dog I had at 4 years old I was never able to live with, he lived with my aunt. He passed in 2024 and I have been missing my dog time ever since. I do love cats as well (not as much as dogs obviously), but I live with two cats and they’ve been with me since I was 8! By the way the last 2 pictures are a Costa Rican cat and an Icelandic cat! I work full time with kids with autism, and that takes up every weekday 9am-6pm. I would be available on weeknights Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends as well! I am willing to do whatever is needed for the pet! I haven’t cared for a dog in a couple years, but I can learn what is needed as long as you tell me what to do!
About: Hi I'm Irina😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I've grown up around them all my life. From rescuing & raising baby squirrels, to helping train with my friends dogs. I have extensive experience petsitting, and years of professional and volunteer experience working with animals as well. Including local volunteer work at Homeward Bound. I’ve personally rescaled over 6 cats in the past 10 years, as well as fostering a cat currently. I have gained experience working with barn animals including horses, goats, and chickens. My heart holds tons of love for puppies and kittens, as well as elderly dogs and cats. I have experience administering medication , and some grooming knowledge although I am not trained professionally. I am extremely versatile and will provide you with the best care for your furry loved ones. I'm also big on leaving spaces as clean as when I came in, so you can rest assured that your home and pets will be loved and safe while you're away.✨🐾 I am currently a freelance model so I have an open schedule, I myself have 3 cats and am fostering a 4th. So my house is full but I can travel for jobs freely. I have a pretty open backyard but no fence in the front, only a tree blocking the road. I am on a main road in between two restaurants. I can pet sit smalll dogs varying in situation on my property.
About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.
“Claudine is an amazing sitter. She took my girl for multiple walks every day, and sends the cutest photo updates. She left my house just as I left it and even washed my pet's food dishes! She'll definitely be my go to sitter for anymore trips I go on.”
“I have two cats that get very upset when I'm away, but Emma took care of them like they were her own and they were two happy boys when I got back. So grateful for the care and thought she put into our boys and our home”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gilman is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gilman
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and communicative. Checking in with us often and keeping us updated every step of the way. Not only did she manage four large dogs (no small feat!), but she handled it with grace, patience, and obvious love. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for cozy, and comfortable when we returned. It was clear they were looked after like part of her own family, not just “clients.” Her attention to detail, timely updates, and genuine kindness gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a dependable, caring, and professional sitter. If we ever need someone again — she’s our first call!

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 Gilman 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 Gilman 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gilman 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!

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 .

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.
