About: I have worked many years in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I can work with the newest puppy members or the senior fur baby. I can keep them on your schedule or keep it relaxed whatever you need. I can continue with leash, house/potty, crate, or any other trainings. I've worked with multiple animals breeds and personalities, all would be loved and cared for. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open. I'm near many walking trails to stretch our legs or many cozy places for the fur babies to cuddle up and take a nap. I have many toys and space for play, I can accommodate crates or other needed accessories to help your fur baby and create that home away from home feeling. I have oncle cat that has been raised around cats, dogs, children, and other small animals, he's friendly with everyone. I can do overnights or drop ins for those unexpected life moments. I'm near many parks and trails so your fur baby would get the exercise they need.
“Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and am very good with anything. I’ve had cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs. And I’ll ages as well I only work at night from 10-6 two days a week. I’m free most days and weekends. So I’m available to take care of any pets I have a big yard for them to play in and an plenty of space indoors for them to play in or sleep in the room
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
“We are so glad we found Eden on Rover.com! If you need a sitter, this is HER! She stayed at our home with our babies while we were on vacation. They were very well taken care of and she sent us pictures/videos each day we were gone! She also left the house even better than she found it. Thank you again Eden!”
About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with client’s pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. It’s very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that I’m keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless you’d like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!

About: My experience with dogs includes both puppies and seniors. I've worked with all ages in both my own home with my own pups, and while pet-sitting. And while I can't lead training with puppies, I can continue ongoing training while they're in my care. I'm working an internship from home right now, so all I need is my laptop and WIFI. This means I am available any day of the week, pretty much any time. I can only render services at client's homes right now because of the rules of my apartment complex, but that tends to be less stressful for the pet anyway. I can care for pets however is needed, as keeping with the normal routine will ease the stress of their parents being away. I will feed them, play with them, make sure they have clean water, and can let them out or walk them, and of course give them as much love and affection as they want!!

About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in college and part of a sorority, but I still have plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. My class schedule is flexible, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always make time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Pet care is something I love, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for pets through helping family and friends with walking, feeding, and overnight care.

When appropriate and with owner permission, I provide treats and assist guests with pet-related needs such as waste bags and general support to ensure a comfortable stay. These interactions have helped me become very comfortable around dogs of different sizes and temperaments.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gold Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gold Hill. 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 Gold Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
