“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”

“Donovan is awesome! He asked a lot of questions beforehand to create a great experience while caring for my dog. He kept me informed, sent pics and really made me feel like my baby was in great hands. Several times he went above and beyond. For example, our treats were running low so he offered to pick up some! I highly recommend him!”


“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”

“Marissa was so lovely and will definitely be booking with her again! She stayed at our home and watched our sweet cat Rosie for us while on vacation. She sent us lots of cute pics throughout our trip and kept our baby on the same routine while we were away. She also kept our house in amazing condition. Would recommend her to anyone!😊”


About: I have had 6 years of experience as a vet technician and 10 years of experience with pet sitting. I have always had a close bond with animals throughout my life. I am comfortable with administering medications and any special instructions a pet may need during my time sitting. I love sending updates throughout my visit if the parent would like to receive them. Currently, I am a dental hygiene student, which entails attending classes from the morning until late afternoon on weekdays. I typically dedicate my time to studying both weekdays and weekends, ensuring ample opportunities to spend time with your fur baby/babies I’m great at following instructions and making sure everything is done carefully during my visit. I always respect people’s space and privacy when I’m in their home. I’m also a very tidy person and will tidy up or clean anything I use or touch.

“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”


“Naomi was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dogs, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our house was spotless when we returned and treated with so much respect. We came home to two happy, pups and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”


“This was my first time using the service. I was a bit nervous. But Kim was awesome and sent me so many pics. She was great about updates and took great care of Snickers! I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her in the future!”

About: I’ve always been an animal person! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have two cats of my own who are very much part of the family. I’ve also spent years helping care for the pets of family and friends, as well as dogs and cats in the homes of families I’ve nannied for. I’m happy to go on walks, play, give lots of attention, or just hang out with a pet who wants some company while their people are away. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I leave them with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing yours are being loved and cared for while they’re with me! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend a lot of my time studying and working on school from home. I’m not currently working outside of school, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’d especially love to add some regular dog walks into my daily routine, it gives me an excuse to get outside, take a break from schoolwork, and spend time with some four-legged company! I’m also available for drop-ins and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to work around mine. I will follow your pets normal routine and any instructions you leave regarding schedules, medications, and preferences. Expect to receive pictures and videos of your friend when they are in my care as I love when others do the same!
About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.

About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who loves animals. I have experience dog and cat sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and referrals from people who have trusted me with their pets. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, care instructions, and any special requests to give you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them like they’re my own! I am currently attending school part-time and working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule with several hours available throughout the day. I am able to work pet sitting into my schedule and can spend multiple hours caring for pets, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and provide dependable care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their home, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting tailored to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Visits can include neighborhood walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, companionship, and enrichment. Whether your dog has energy to burn, your cat enjoys some quiet company, or your pet simply needs someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know the individual pet. Every animal has their own personality, habits, comfort level, and favorite things. Some pets are immediately excited to make a new friend, while others need a little patience before they feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. One of the biggest advantages I can offer is flexibility. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. Rather than rushing through a visit, I enjoy taking the time to interact with pets, give them exercise and enrichment, and make sure they’re comfortable before I leave. I also understand that good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, follow any special instructions you provide, and keep you informed during visits. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is getting individual attention and care. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Getting to know their personalities, earning their trust, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply sitting beside them is something I find rewarding. My goal is for every pet to look forward to seeing me and for every owner to feel confident that their pet is in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra attention, exercise, companionship, or love. I currently do not work, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting anytime you need. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize your pet’s with safety, comfort, and will follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, and house rules. I can also crate your dog, keep pets separated, provide medication, etc. when needed.

Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!

Makayla did an amazing job staying with both of our dogs. Our dogs unfortunately were sick when we left and she was extremely accommodating on ensuring our dogs took their medication. While also communicating how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and plan on using Makayla again.

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 Gilmore 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 Gilmore 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 Gilmore 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!
