“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Avalon was amazing again watching our Forrest! She is always kind, loving and very professional. Forrest just loves the attention and loves Avalon. The best dog sitter ever!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sydney provided for our two dogs while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond- sending us multiple pictures and updates everyday, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to two happy pups and a house that looked even better than when we left it. Sydney is responsible, communicative, thoughtful, and truly wonderful with animals. We look forward to booking with her again! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“She was so great. Dogs were really happy and she even trimmed our doodles eyes so she could see. We are behind schedule for her grooming. :) Would have her again anytime we need to seek out a dog sitter again in future if she’d have us as clients again 🦋”
“Mackenzie is great!! She got along with our dog great. We're out of town for a week, so we had to split time between two sitters. She sent me photos multiple times a day. She's awesome! Will be booking her again”
“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! It was such a relief knowing our pets were happy, loved, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Mercedes kept us updated, was incredibly reliable, and left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“I was beyond impressed with Parrish. She is an absolute ANGEL. My dog (and myself) are nervous wrecks, and I’ve never left her with someone new before. We both instantly loved her and she took the best care of my girl. Couldn’t recommend her enough- anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animals.”
“Tayler did a great job of watching our pets for the week. She was patient with our chihuahua mix that has a hard time trusting new people. She sent photos and checked in every day. Our pets were happy when we got home and our house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend Tayler for pet sitting!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I'm Nate, and if you've got a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs a buddy, or a pup who just wants a solid hang — you've found the right human. I didn't just grow up around animals — I grew up with them. We're talking dogs, cats, birds, and full-on farm animals. At any given point in my childhood, our place was basically a petting zoo with a roof. I've hand-fed, cleaned up after, played with, and genuinely loved more species than most people have on their bucket list. These days I'm a proud dog owner myself, and I've also fostered for multiple rescues and organizations — including the Puerto Rico Dog Fund and Many Miles from Home Animal Shelter — so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your fur baby. What does all of that experience mean for your pup? It means I'm calm in chaos, patient with personalities, and I actually enjoy watching animals just... be themselves. Whether your dog is a zoomies-at-6am type or a "I will sniff this one blade of grass for 45 seconds" type — I'm here for all of it. My goal is simple: to be the person your dog loses their mind over when they hear my car pull up. Walks, hangouts, check-ins — whatever your pet needs, I bring the energy, the patience, and the genuine love of animals to back it up. Your furry friend won't just be in good hands. They'll be having the time of their life. 🐕 I work from home, so your pet gets real quality time — not just a quick pop-in between meetings! I'm also an early riser, so mornings mean walks, fresh air, and getting those zoomies out before most people even hit snooze. Whether I'm at your place or mine, I follow your rules — feeding schedules, routines, preferred spots on the couch, all of it. You know your pet best and I'm here to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. If your pet stays with me, they'll have a fully fenced backyard to roam and my 4-year-old smaller German Shepherd to show them the ropes — she's basically the ultimate icebreaker.
“Damita did a great job watching our kitties again! My stubborn, doesn't-like-anyone kitty was so cuddly with her! The house is always left nice and clean. She sends picture updates which I really appreciate too. I will continue to use her for my kitties!”
“Sophia was great! She responded quickly, met my two dogs, asked great questions about them, and then was amazing when I was away! I came home to two happy dogs that and a clean house. Will definitely keep using Sophia as long as she is available!”
“My 2 dogs loved Tanya! She was very responsible, listened attentively to all of the information about the dogs, and asked good questions. My dogs are very needy of attention, and it seemed like they got plenty of it while I was away. She communicated well during her stay. I will absolutely ask Tanya to come back and house sit for my pups again!”
“Matt was an excellent pet sitter. He was extremely easy to work with and took great care of our house and pets while we were away. He was always quick to respond, and I feel he went above and beyond to ensure we came home to a well-kept home and pets.”
“I would highly recommend Kiana to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Based on the photos she sent and how happy our dog and cat were when we got home, I know they had a great time with her. Her communication was excellent from the first contact through to us returning home. And our house looked exactly as we left it - it’s so good to come home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you, Kiana!”
“Found out last minute I needed to go out of town for work for a night so I needed someone to do an overnight for my 3 small, sweet, but quirky dogs. Christine agreed quickly when asked and came over for a meet and greet the next day. She is very friendly and trustworthy. With the dogs, she did a great job, and was excellent with updates. Will 100% use her again and recommend her to anybody!”
“Frank has been great. Even after our dig gave them an enthusiastic love bump in the nose! Mojie was safe and sound and extremely well cared for. House was also in excellent shape after our weekend away. Thank you!”
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gladstone is $51
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gladstone
We had a great experience with Adeline who watched our two dogs and our house for about 4.5 days. She was communicative, engaged and enthusiastic about our dogs. We also have a senior dog who requires add'l meds and oversight with daily communication about his resting heart rate, and she followed through on our instructions everyday. Although we didn't ask her to do any kind of deep cleaning, she did tidy up and left our home in great shape. A 5 star experience!
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.
Brennan was wonderful with our two dogs and cat while we were away. He provided excellent care, kept us updated with great communication, and left the house in perfect condition when we returned. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Alexandra has been so amazing to work with. She understands the behavior of our high-strung little dog. I feel confident she is treating our pet with a ton of patience and compassion. She is also easy to communicate with and leaves our house in great condition. I would happily recommend her!
Carly was amazing! Very accommodating last minute to come earlier due to a sudden family loss. She had great communication the entire time and sent tons of pics! Not to mention, Sampson adored her. 😻Already rebooked her and could not be happier with her communication and respect for our home.
Steven is truly wonderful!! I feel so lucky that I’ve found such an awesome human to take care of my baby girl and my home. She took excellent care of my pup, who is now sleeping like a rock from all of the wonderful care and attention given to her. Steven also took wonderful care of my home. I highly recommend her, as I will be using her from here on out!!
We had such a great experience with Leah and are planning to book her again soon. From the start, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. She was very attentive to our cat’s routine and preferences, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about animals. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how things were going, which went a long way in giving us peace of mind. She handled everything smoothly and made sure the boys were comfortable, well-fed, and getting playtime and affection. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-cared-for space. Leah went above and beyond, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.
Andrea/ a truly caring soul when it comes to animals she is tender and concerned for the pet her and my dog odie got along famously. She was attentive sent plenty of pics depicting their adventures and he took to her very nicely. Thank you Andrea I WILL have you back in the event you are not Allreadg booked up!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gladstone on Rover is $49.95 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 4,538 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
