About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a passion for providing them with the best care possible. I love all dog breeds and would be honored to provide my pet care skills to your precious pups! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available any day of the week for dog walking, daily check-in visits, or in-home dog sitting. I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I provide exceptional in-your-home care and will respect your home as if it is my own. This also allows your dog to remain in a location they are familiar and comfortable with and prevents them from becoming stressed or anxious while you’re away.
“Ryker house sat for us when went back to the UK. He looked after our three dogs 2 beagles Benji & Cooper and our CaviPooChon BoBo. All three are very friendly but Cooper is super mischievous. Ryker caught our eye because he's volunteered at the Wolf Sanctuary & Humane Society, he also did an internship at a veterinary hospital. From our first meeting Ryker inspired confidence in us and his rapport with dogs was very evident. During his stay he took everything in his stride and wasn’t phased by anything. Cooper locked him out of the house. (Coops can open & shut doors), Benji became ill with an upset stomach, there were more hurdles but what ever the hurdle Ryker dealt with it in an assured and calm manner. He gave us updates each day, we hadn’t asked for daily updates but we were pleased that he sent them. We have used dog sitters before and by a massive margin Ryker has been the best yet!! We were blessed to have had him. Would I use him again 100% YES. Would I recommend Ryker 150% YES! His ambition is to become a Vet, and I, for one would not hesitate in using him when he qualifies.”
“Ana was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout her stay, sending pictures and letting me know how Birdie was doing. You can tell she really loves animals and is a caring sitter. I would 100% use her again.”
“Olivia was the absolute best. She did such a wonderful job taking care of my Maddie. She did a great job communicating and sent me daily updates. I highly recommend her. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet pup Olivia ❤️”
“Danielle was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Bing and kept me updated throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy, well-loved pup. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet and house sitter.”
“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”
“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”

About: 🐾 Welcome! Hi! I’m Kacie, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby while you’re away. As an animal lover, with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, overnight boarding, or just some extra love and attention while you’re at work or on vacation, I’ll care for them like they’re one of my own. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as cats of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering oral medications if needed, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I am also CPR & First Aid certified, licensed and insured. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve care that’s personalized to their needs and personality. ⸻ 🦴 Services I Offer • Daily dog walks • Drop-in visits • Puppy potty breaks • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and enrichment • Belly rubs and lots of cuddles • Overnight boarding in your home where your fur baby is already comfortable with their space and surroundings. (Willing to board in my home as well if you prefer) • Picture, video and text updates daily • End of day puppy / dog report card • Last minute visits are always welcome 🤗 ❤️ What Makes Me Different When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—not just another booking. I keep my schedule flexible so your dog or cat receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and one-on-one care throughout the day. I offer flexible scheduling for daily walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. Whether you’re working long hours, planning a vacation, or simply need an extra hand, I’ll do everything I can to accommodate your pet’s needs. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my highest priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I am a CPR/FIRST AID PET-certified caregiver, I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide the best care possible. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, your pet will always be supervised and treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates, along with text messages, and an end of day report card so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. Because to me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d want someone to care for mine.

This was my first time leaving my year old Malti poo with anyone and I sure hit the jackpot with Lauren! Wow. She went above and beyond any expectation.. She was on time stayed at my home the entire time. She kept me updated all day with photos and videos.. She is sweet as can be. I’ve never imagined not worrying constantly while away from my baby but I felt more than comfortable from the moment meeting Lauren more so Frankie was more than comfortable with her… I was worried he would want to go home with her: ) Shd spoiled my baby .. I hope she will become our regular sitter whenever we need to go out of town..I would highly recommend Lauren..
Millie took care of my dog for an extended trip. She did a wonderful job, keeping me informed of my dogs activity and any questions she had over her stay and followed instructions for his care. Very responsible . She left my home as she found it. Dog was content and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her
Kristine was an exceptional Rover sitter for my maltipoo. She was so engaged and genuinely enthusiastic about being with my sweet dog, like it was her own. I appreciate her being so dependable and loving to Joey . I highly recommend her to be in the care of your pet. Thank you kimberly
Rylee was awesome with Roxi and our home. She stayed for 8 nights and we returned to a happy, healthy dog and a tidy home. We were concerned leaving Roxi as she had been in a shelter until a month before our trip and can be shy. It says a lot about Rylee that Roxi warmed right up to her. I would absolutely recommend Rylee as she's communicative, consistent, caring and very professional.
Olivia was an excellent sitter. Zizi really liked her and felt comfortable staying with her in our home for 3 days. Olivia was very responsible asking questions in advance and keeping us posted throughout the 3 days with photos and updates on Zizi. We strongly recommend Olivia to others who need a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Gate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Golden Gate on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golden Gate. 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 Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
