“Another five star weekend for Rachelle!! She walked odie took him to a dog park, he’s so good with children her 3&1/2 year old loves playing with humans he was of course well adjusted when I arrived home to meet them. Rachele is my number one Rover and I’ve had a few over the time we’ve been using this service she goes above and beyond, of course dog is fed and well taken care of but she picked up the house I’m quite sure it was better than she found it THANK TOU RACHELE!! I’ll call on you next time too!! Paul Gladstone OR”
“Parrish was absolutely great! The boys loved having her here and she took great care of them and the house. Very communicative and will love your pets like her own. Thanks Parrish!!”
“Christine was fantastic both as a pet sitter for our furry friend and with the house. It was our first time having a pet sitter and we never worried about our dog while we were gone. It was a huge relief to just go on a trip without the additional anxiety regarding the dog at home. We knew she was in great hands!”
“Tayler was amazing! Both of my boys warmed right up to her. She sent video and photo updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I appreciated knowing my dogs were comfortable around her and were well taken care of. I’d definitely book with Tayler again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others as well.”
“Sydney was an awesome house sitter/petsitter. She spoiled all three animals and sent us timely updates and pictures. The house was left tidy. We will definitely be booking her for future sits!”
“Mark did a fabulous job with my dog who can be difficult. Stella seemed very happy in all the pictures I received. She went on adventures & yet she was bathed when I got home. The house was very well cared for. I will certainly use Mark again.”
“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Jordyn did an amazing job petsitting my 4yo husky and 2 cats. I always worry with new pet-sitters that my dog is going to be too much - too hyper, too overwhelming, too vocal, and that she'll intimidate a new person with her husky antics and shenanigans, but Jordyn handled her like a pro. My dog loved the special attention she got from her new friend and the cats were clearly well taken care of. Jordyn was clean and tidy and respectful and the house looked great when we got home. We'll definitely try to book Jordyn again for future trips and I'd recommend her to anyone who asks!”
“Amir took wonderful care of our puppies. He communicated with us frequently and sent many pictures. One of our dogs has separation anxiety. When we got home our puppies were so happy and relaxed. We have already booked Amir for another stay. We are very thankful to have found Amir!”
“Jackson was punctual and has a positive and relaxed presentation. I was immediately comfortable to leave him alone in our apartment to care for our dog. I would recommend him to anyone, especially those who might be hesitant about hiring someone online. Thanks, Jackson.”
“Megan was a really great sitter for our two cats. She gave frequent updates and many photos/videos, and peace of mind while on our vacation. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed to have barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond and took good care of our house as well, and left it clean and tidy.”
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
“Sarah came to my rescue on very short notice and took care of my older Golden Retriever. She sent photos of Winnie and kept me updated. I didn’t have time to fully prepare to have someone in my home and Sarah just rolled with it. She left my house in order and my dog seems happy. Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. As an adult I have house/dog/cat/child sat for many people. I’m known as “Auntie K” to my dog sitting families! I’ve administered medications to dogs & cats as well as specific diets and cared for multiple senior dogs and cats. Although I grew up surrounded by animals, I haven’t had my own dog since I was 19. Sadly, my crazy but lovable kitty passed a couple of years ago. As a result, I really enjoy taking care of other peoples pets until the time is right and I meet my own furry friend. I have plenty of time to hang with your pet(s). I am available weekdays, weeknights and weekends! I am generally available 4-6 hours for potty breaks if I am not off work at my other jobs. I am willing and able to follow all rules and requirements to care the very best for your fur baby(s). I prefer everything written down so I can make sure everything that is requested is done on time and the way you would like. I understand your pet(s) are like children and it’s important to care for them the way you would.
About: I have grown up with a dog in my home as well as have been around lots of pets! Have 3 cat fur babies of my own that I adore, love dogs as well! Currently working 4, 10 hour shifts as a medical assistant so am available 3 whole days a week 2 of the days being Saturday and Sunday and my day off varies weekly but I know what days I have off each week through the end of the year I will make sure each gets play time as well as walk time across the way we have a dog park and lots of place to run!
“Philip is amazing with my two dogs. He is very attuned to there needs and he definitely leaves my pups in the same condition I left them. Highly recommended”
“Kelly is fantastic and my cat warmed up to her right away. She was quick to respond and provided a lot of enrichment and attention to my cat during my trip. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well looked after and I definitely came home to a happy and content boy. I will absolutely request her again for future visits.”
“Ren was great with our 2 dogs. We booked on pretty short notice and everything still went very smoothly. Our dogs seemed very happy in pics Ren sent while we were gone and when we returned. She took great care of the house, too! Very pleasant and professional, we'll definitely book her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
Mackenzie is a top-notch pet sitter. This is what she does to earn money and she takes it seriously. She took on a last-minute cat sit for us and even managed to squeeze in a meet-and-greet before we left. She asked great questions and has a lot of experience with senior cats and the medications that go along with them. More so, she made fast friends with our senior girl and showered her with love and gentleness. Our house was in order when we returned. Our cat was relaxed and happy. We will definitely call on Mackenzie again.
Jordyn did an amazing job petsitting my 4yo husky and 2 cats. I always worry with new pet-sitters that my dog is going to be too much - too hyper, too overwhelming, too vocal, and that she'll intimidate a new person with her husky antics and shenanigans, but Jordyn handled her like a pro. My dog loved the special attention she got from her new friend and the cats were clearly well taken care of. Jordyn was clean and tidy and respectful and the house looked great when we got home. We'll definitely try to book Jordyn again for future trips and I'd recommend her to anyone who asks!
Megan was great. We have two under-5-yrs German Shepherd mixes with a lot of energy. Megan took the time to meet them and ensure everyone was comfortable. While we were gone on our 4 day trip, she sent pictures and updates every day. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Recommend!
Courtney did an amazing dog house sitting and watching my dog and cat. She gave me lots of updates and left my house in amazing condition. I'd recommend her services to anyone looking for peace of mind over an extended vacation. Thanks again Courtney I'll definitely be reaching out to you the next time I leave town.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Nate watch our dogs. Nate was very communicative from meet and greet to fulfilling watching our pups over the weekend. He was very willing to meet our needs and was warm and friendly. Nate is very down to earth. He meshed well with our pups, which put us at ease. Our pups were well cared for and he did a great job matching their energy levels (think little grandpa dog & horse sized dog). We would most definitely use Nate’s services again as well as highly recommended others book with Nate for care they can be confident in.
Rebecca is so kind and loving. Our animals were all so spoiled and loved while we were gone. We greatly appreciated receiving updates and cute pictures of our pets. Rebecca has an excellent communication style, and was a pleasure to have stay in our home with our pet family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gladstone is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Gladstone. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
