“Wow. Svetlana is an absolutely wonderful dog-sitter. She came and watched my pup in my home for 6 days and they loved her. She sent me photos every day and little updates. I didn't worry about them once. Don't hesitate to book her for any pet care needs!”
“This is the first time we are bringing a pet sitter home. Hajida did a phenomenal job taking care of Coco. Coco is 17.5 years old and recently lost her sight. Hajida made her feel very comfortable and bonded amazingly with her.”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. Please note that I don't have any experience with cats. This is what I do, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! Please keep in mind that, while I do accept same day booking for some services, any service requested with less than 24 hours notice will come with an additional 50% fee. I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)
“We had an amazing experience with Jake! From the start, he was extremely communicative, which immediately helped us feel confident and at ease. He followed every request we had for Ollie and his little, it was very clear Jakr genuinely cared about making sure Ollie felt comfortable and happy. We received updates throughout the visit, which we really appreciated, and it was so reassuring to know that Ollie was in such kind and capable hands. Our pup can be a little particular, but seemed like he warmed up quickly, which says a lot about the care and patience he was shown. Overall, we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate. We will absolutely be booking with Jake again, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond for your furry family member!”
“Ethan has been such an amazing sitter for our pup. He's reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating. He's there to help us whenever he can & is always super responsive. It's hard to find people to depend on, but Ethan is one of them! We're so thankful for him & would highly recommend his services to others.”
About: Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years around dogs and other pets, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and any animal of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies that need lots of exercise to older dogs that prefer slower walks and extra care. I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Currently work part time at nights and weekends predominantly so I have morning/daytime availablility during the week while you are at work! Can also do overnights any day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always follow each pet’s routine, care instructions, and any special needs provided by the owner to make sure they feel secure and well cared for. I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Whether it’s during a walk, a drop in visit, or extended care, I always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and any changes in mood or energy so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I also make sure pets have fresh water, proper feeding, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and messages to keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both pets and their owners feel completely at ease.

About: Senior in high school with two years’ pet care experience and my own dog. Passionate about animals and exploring vet school. Loving, reliable, and attentive. Senior in high school with weekday extracurriculars during the first months. Available weekends and holidays, with flexible hours outside school activities for quality pet care.

About: Hi!! I would love to help you with your pet care needs. I have a dog of my own who I have had for 6 years, since he was just a puppy. I have pet & house sat for friends and family members for years, often seen as a good “go to” person because of my love for animals. I’m also comfortable with providing care for plants, lizards, etc. as I have cared for them in the past! I work remotely so I am quite open to working around your schedule. Whatever works best for you will work for me! I walk my own dog 3 times a day so I can work your pet into that, or we can set up separate timing. If my dog is also welcome to stay at your home or on walks, he can be a great companion for pets who want a friend! He loves other dogs, cats, humans, etc. If you would prefer that my dog not join, he can stay home with my roommate. Let me know!
About: My name is Joseph. I recently graduated from college and am living with my family and sweet Yellow Labrador in Mendham, NJ. I’m available for, and have references for, both in-house pet sitting, dog walking, and pet visits. I love to take extra time to care for your pets, such as giving them extra love and taking them on long, relaxing walks if they like that. I get great happiness from taking care of animals and would love to help out in any way you may need! I work part-time at a restaurant Thursday-Sunday evenings, generally from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Aside from that, I am pretty flexible and can work from the location with your pet(s) or come for visits, whichever the client prefers. I would not be caring for the pets in my own home since I am living with others. I would instead care for them in the client’s home according to their instructions.
“Lauren is fabulous! My dogs are nervous with new people and they took to her immediately. She has calm and positive energy. She spent lots of time with the pups, made sure they went potty, were fed, and got lots of cuddles. Lauren sent me photos throughout the time she watched my dogs. I returned to very happy, cared for dogs. Highly recommend!!!!”

I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week.

Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. This is not applicable as I do not currently take clients in my home. However for your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”
“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable.

““Uncle Marc” is Hazel and Penny’s new favorite friend! Marc stayed with our girls while we spent the week out of the country.

Thanks Marc, we appreciate you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
Emily was "better than advertised"..meaning that she went over and above to take care of Oscar. Emily asked all the right questions and was clearly attentive to Oscar's personality and behavior. Emily also has a family dog and this is a great asset when dog-sitting other dogs. We got frequent updates whie away for the weekend and we fely entirely comfortable with Emily staying at the house. We live on a private dirt road cul-de-sac with few houses, so while it is quiet and peaceful, it can be a little intimidating come nightfall. Fortunately our two closest neighbors have dogs and they were both willing to help Emily, if necessary. Very happy to have "discovered" Emily !

FAQs for House Sitting - Gladstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gladstone on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gladstone. 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 Gladstone 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 Gladstone 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 Gladstone 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gladstone. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
