“Jordan did an amazing job with Zola as always. She is great in the best of circumstances but what I really appreciate about Jordan is how she manages the unexpected problems that sometimes come up. She goes above and beyond and communicates so well it’s easy to figure out solutions together. Thank you!”
“Claudia was awesome and has an excellent sense for dog behavior. We hope to be able to book her on our next trip. Thanks for taking such great care of our boys and home Claudia!”
About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“Holly was so incredible with our three pups. They adored her and loved all the love and snuggles she provided. She also sent many picture updates which I appreciated during our 6 day booking. She was on top of the communication and we would highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my energy and approach to fit any pet. Whether it's high-energy active play for dogs or calm, patient companionship for cats, I tune in closely to each animal's unique personality. Backed by my professional reliability and clear communication, you can count on me for meticulous care, punctuality, and treating every pet like family—no matter the species! My days are naturally centered around active movement and consistent routines, making it easy to integrate long walks, play sessions, and dedicated pet care seamlessly into my schedule. When caring for pets in your space, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. Whether it’s an energetic walk, indoor play, feeding, or medication administration, I arrive punctual and prepared, ensuring your home is respected and your pets are safe, happy, and stimulated.
“Nicole checked in daily and sent photos of my boys. She left the house clean and tidy. I am thankful for Nicole’s easy manner and making me feel confident that I left the dogs in good hands. Patty”
About: I tailor every routine to each dog’s unique needs:) I listed eight years of dog experience because that’s how old my black Lab is! I grew up in a dog loving home and wouldn’t want it any other way. I love all types of dogs and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I have plenty of love, patience, and positive reinforcement to share 🥰 big on communication and sending millions of photos of your dog Pet care fits into my schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Any hour on the weekends is perfect. I am busy during the weekdays. Thank you :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow all feeding instructions carefully, providing the right food and fresh water at the right times. I keep their living spaces clean, including changing bedding and cleaning litter boxes or waste areas. I give pets plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them happy and healthy, while also watching closely for any signs of illness or unusual behavior. Safety is a priority, so I make sure the environment is free from hazards and escape routes. I spend quality time giving pets attention and comfort to reduce stress, and I always follow the specific care instructions given by the owner to ensure the pet’s well-being.
“As always Trisha was absolutely amazing during the 2 weeks she watched Savannah. She sent many updates and photos, and when we got home it was so abundantly clear that she took care of our home and Savannah as if they were her own. Best sitter on Rover!”
“Diana is our go-to. My dogs are bark-y and complicated and they adore her. She knows dog behavior, takes SUCH good care of them, and I swear our house was cleaner when we came back than when we left. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.”
“Juan stepped into provide home care for Brodie, our King Charles. The service was excellent, especially considering this occurred during the recent period of challenging weather and flooding conditions. Juan was great at keeping me updated and sending photos. He also managed a seamless handover to a friend who took over Brodie’s care for the remainder of my time abroad. I’m happy to recommend him.”
“Ana is fantastic! She’s consistently reliable, communicative, and caring. We always choose her whenever we travel because we know our dog will be well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Paris was an excellent sitter for my puppy, Truffle! She showed genuine care by engaging Truffle with all her favorite toys and maintaining her regular schedule perfectly. What made the experience special was seeing how much Truffle enjoyed her time with Paris, and coming home to a clean and tidy house was an added bonus. I would definitely book with Paris again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Amy is an absolute gem! I was so nervous about leaving my 14 week old puppy for the first time, but Amy went above and beyond to ease our anxieties and give me peace of mind. Bowie got love, care, and puppy play with her dog Barli. So great to have a new friend! I highly recommend Amy and will definitely use her again.”
“My husband and I could not recommend Sara enough! After planning an extended holiday, we looked for reliable care for our cat with feline herpes. We reviewed Sara's profile, read about her extensive experience with animals, and scheduled to meet with her in person. After meeting, we were sure we had made the right choice! She was kind, responsible, and we felt comfortable to hand over the keys to our apartment to her. Sara stayed in our home for over two weeks and provided excellent care for our cat. She communicated with us daily through pictures and written text, and allowed us to to fully enjoy our time away without worrying! When we found out that we were going to experience extremely high heat in Washington, Sara offered to go to our house a day early to make sure that our little guy had access to extra water and a cool space in our apartment! We came home to a happy kitty and a perfectly clean space. We would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs in my neighborhood since 2018 and have experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For the past 3 years, I’ve also been cat sitting for a close friend, helping with feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and making sure their cats feel comfortable while they’re away. As a pet parent to two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday from 7:45 AM to 5:00 PM and Fridays from 7:45 AM to 12:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available to provide the care and attention your pet needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship. I’m also fully available on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have a reliable sitter, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule while making sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of all temperaments and learned how to safely handle excited or nervous pets, including getting them indoors or into crates when needed. I will always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own animals. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gold Bar
Jordan was one of the best sitters we’ve had! She took great care of our two small dogs and left our house in order. She even went the extra mile to help us train our puppy who has some behaviors we are trying to work through without us asking. She is detail-oriented and very communicative. I would not hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to others!

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 Gold Bar 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 Gold Bar 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 Gold Bar 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
