“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
“Christina is wonderful to our pups. She is very friendly and did everything we asked. She is also very responsive and accommodating. Our pups and house is very well taken. Will use Christina in the future!”
“Jillian and Stella's were a great match. Jillian sent me pictures of Stella every day and Stella looked content. My dog is a barker and Jillian handled it with kindness and understanding. I will definitely use Jillian again! She is a true dog lover! Thanks Jillian.”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. While I've mostly worked with medium to large sized dogs, small dogs and cats are great as well and I have experience playing, walking, feeding, and bathing animals in all walks of life. I work part-time while playing softball over the span of the summer, but I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours with as much respect as I do my own, while also being sure to cater to your specific pet's needs.
“Brittany was such a fantastic house sitter and treated our pup like her own!! She left the house in perfect condition and gave our dog lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and shared plenty of pics. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“What can I say? I was nervous and worried to leave my hobby farm for a work trip. I made instruction sheets, took pictures, portioned food and stressed when I got into my UBER. Anthony walked into the home and respected my dogs, was patient with them, gave them the attention they needed and in the time they were ready for it, sent me pictures, gave me updates, asked the right questions, looked after the chickens, goats, turkey, and ducks. He made a stressful trip so much better by a simple message. When I arrived home, I had six tired pups, house was clean, Anthony greeted us with a smile and lots of stories. Anthony went above and beyond. He exceeded my expectations and he embraced the property and fur/feathered babies like they were his. I will always ask him first before looking for anyone else. Thank you Anthony for caring about my family as much as you did. We will see you soon. To all you folks out there needing a sitter/walker, I come first for reservations (LOL) and if he has a time slot for you…… take it. He is one of a kind.”
“Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”
“Felicia was amazing! She was very understanding and helpful. She kept up with my pets’ medications, was communicative, and sent me lots of photos. My cats and dog seemed very comfortable and happy with her!”
“Carmen was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a tee! As our dog has heart failure and needs special care, we are always hesitant to leave him behind but we felt safe leaving him with Carmen. She was respectful of our home and was very kind. We would definitely book her for future sittings.”
“Jacob was AMAZING with our four...challenging pets (two cats, two dogs). His communication with us was clear and consistent throughout our entire trip, he followed all of our instructions exactly as we asked, and our animals (and house!) were all well taken care of. I can't recommend Jacob enough!”
“Dee Dee was great. She watched our pets over the holidays, and left our house clean, and communicated well during our trip. Our dog is very shy and she was very patient and let our dog warm up to her, which we certainly appreciated!”
“Ashley was terrific with my older dog for 2 nights...We got lots of updates--with photos..which I loved. I came home to a house in perfect condition and a very happy dog. Would not hesitate to recommend.”
“Quanece & Malik were available last minute when I needed someone to watch my dog for a few hours. They were responsive, followed all my directions, and sent updates throughout the day. I’ve booked with them a few times, and I would definitely do it again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gloucester City is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gloucester City
Gregory did a great job watching our two dogs. He was dependable, easy to work with, and has a calm energy that our dogs seemed to respond to really well. We felt confident leaving them in his care and would happily have him watch them again in the future.
Krista was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative, attentive, and responsive throughout our trip. When we had to deal with a last minute flight cancellation, she was able to accommodate and stay with Luca a bit longer. We felt totally confident that he was in excellent hands. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking with Krista again!!
Lauren took excellent care of Valira and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me photos regularly, and her communication was outstanding from start to finish. It was very reassuring to know that Valira was in such good hands. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!
Wendy was great! She was thankfully able to accommodate a last minute request for in home pet sitting. She came in advance to meet the pets. I have a senior dog who needs special care and attention she was able to administer his eye meds and clean them well enough where he was comfortable all the days I was gone. She also took great care of my two cats who like attention and playtime. I would recommend Wendy.
Lana was incredible with our dogs! It was our first time leaving our younger dog for a week and Lana relieved any worries we might’ve had. Our older dog has been waiting for her to come back since we’ve returned home. I can’t recommend Lana enough and will definitely work with her on future trips.

Felicia was awesome with our dogs Sammy & Mojo. She stayed at our house each day from 4:40 - 8:30 pm to keep our dogs company. She played ball with Sam and took lots of pictures which assured us that they were in good hands. Felicia also brought in the mail and fed the birds. I highly recommend her.
Cassidy has been an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog Lulu and cat Monkey. Lulu is weary of strangers, but through Cassidy's presence, patience, and caring, she won Lulu over quickly. Cassidy also did a great job keeping to Monkey's medication regiment. Through the daily feedback, pictures, and videos, we got both piece of mind and the evolution of our pets' trust at the same time. We are forever thankful for Cassidy watching our pets and home, and look forward to working with her again.
Krystal was an amazing house and cat sitter for us! She was available on short notice and during the Holidays which was such a relief! She was respectful of our home and more importantly took great care of our kitties and sent us periodic photos and updates! Great communication and a lovely person! Highly recommend Krystal!
Aimee was great! She stayed in our home and took care of our dog Zoey for 6 days. She allowed Zoey to get comfortable and trust her in record time! Aimee was also great at staying in touch with me, asking clarifying questions, and providing updates and photos. She also kept the home orderly, which was greatly appreciated. My wife and I are glad Zoey made a new friend - we highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gloucester City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gloucester City on Rover is $85.57 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 5,627 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gloucester City. 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 Gloucester City 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 Gloucester City 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 Gloucester City 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
