“Anna, has been THE BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She communicated with us during her stay with Charlie with many photos and updates. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog. A+ service.”
About: What sets me aside is the fact I will go above and beyond to treat your animal(s) like my own. I’m here to ease your pet pains. I want you to enjoy the vacation/trip you’re on, without worrying about your animals care. I will absolutely make sure your animal feels at home, comfortable, active, and so loved. I cannot wait to meet your fur babies :) I currently help my husband run his company in Naples so I’m local, flexible, and dependable. I’m up early in the morning so walking or feedings in the AM or not a problem at all. I’ll make sure above and beyond that your animal is taking care of and loved to the fullest. Making them feel most comfortable is top priority. Will accommodate any special requests.
About: I was born and raised in South Africa. Then lived a long time years in England. I've always had pets. In SA we had a farm, and was on the farm every weekend, so I have experience with pets and farm animals. My own doggy died February and I'd love to love someone else's pets and get my pet fix lol. I'm a mature woman that had a professional business for years, so I am totally trustworthy. I can stay in your house, look after your pets, get the post, make sure the pool cleaner arrives, dust and keep everything in good order whilst you are away. I do this as a full time career, so I fit in with you and your pets. My girls have flown the nest and I live alone, so Im totally flexible I cannot board your pet, but I can stay with them at your house, or pop in regularly to see them. Just tell me what works for you
“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!!”
“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 ❤️”
About: My love for animals and providing pet-sitting began in early childhood and has only continued to grow! My experience ranges from neighborhood pet-sitting gigs in grade school, acting as the primary caretaker of my family dog (60 lb Lab-Pointer) during high-school, providing day-time and overnight pet-sitting in during my undergraduate education at USF, and now specializing in pet sitting, house sitting and overnight stays as I enter my Master's program at FGCU. It's important to me that every pet feels comfortable, happy, and active even in the absence of their favorite human (you)! I am a personal trainer and business owner with the ability to create my own schedule around my school schedule at FGCU. I am primarily available after 11 AM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri-Sun. In clients' homes, I make sure to keep pets under my supervision at all times, ensure doors leading outside remain closed, and leash dogs BEFORE exiting the home.
“Sean and my boys hit it off right away. It’s so fortunate I am able to travel and feel comfortable with who has my boys and living in my home. Not once did I worry. Every day I got a picture of my boys in different locations of our home and I had NO worries. Thank you Rover.com and thank you Sean.”
“Edward was awesome with our black Lab! He was so happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. Edward also kept our house so clean and it was exactly as we left it! I highly recommend allowing Edward to watch your animals/house! Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Amber was fantastic! We knew she was the perfect fit for our sweet boy during the initial meeting, as she immediately was speaking with him and showing all the love. We very much liked that she stayed in our home while we were away, as he is accustomed to having someone working from home about 50% of the month. It gave us a lot of relief knowing that he had genuine caring company while we were away, especially during the start of the storm season. She also sent us pictures of our handsome boy so we were able to still see his squishy face while we were in Australia. We will definitely be booking with Amber again in the future!!”
“All I can say is WOW! We’ve had some wonderful dog sitters in the past but Ana has topped them all! She took amazing care of our two small dogs and even won over our 13 year old maltipoo who can be as finicky as a cat can be. Ana left our home cleaner than we left it and left us beautiful pictures of our furry babies. I was pretty much speechless when we arrived home. We highly highly recommend Ana. She is the very best choice to take care of your furry babies!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, I've owned, trained, and taken care of a loving 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Dexter since he was just 8 weeks old. I love to play, hangout and run around with dogs, I have experience taking care of family and friends dogs as well as CPR training (certified). I can't resist meeting new dogs when I'm on a walk or just out in public, I love to get to know pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting your fury friend/family members! I’m currently looking for work so as of now my schedule is completely open, just let me know what your needs and dates are and I’ll happily help with your dog(s). For overnight house sitting, I do need to be able to bring my well-behaved Golden Retriever with me. He’s friendly, socialized, and great with other dogs. I always make sure pets are comfortable first, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. I’m a very clean/organized person and that follows everywhere I go. I make sure to leave things the way I found them and if the house is a mess from a wet day of walking I’d be sure to clean that up as well. I’m a no shoes in the house kind of person
About: I love all animals! I'm a proud bird(s), cats and dog momma! I travel every few months and understand how critical it is to have someone who is willing to treat your babies as if they are their own. All of my babies are rescues, so I know a thing or two about patience and giving space but, I'd much rather give them lots of love! In the past I have devoted 6 months to volunteering in a bird sanctuary and also at the local dog shelters. I'm calm, loving and experienced. Over all I consider myself a genuine and kindhearted person. Anyone who knows me, understands that I love animals and want to help them in any way I can. Feel free to contact me to discuss my services. Kind regards, Kelly I am a small business owner working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays. I have a spacious backyard and a friendly Pomeranian to keep your fur baby company. Belly rubs and positive affirmations are included in all of my services.
About: Using my zeal for animals to help raise funds for my “Set Apart” ministry school! I look forward to making your furry pet into my companion! I’m currently working part-time! I’m free on Sundays after 3pm, Mondays after 5:30pm, Wednesdays before 6:30pm, and Weekends (including Thursdays) after 4:30pm! But let me know before hand, and I’ll make it happen! I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!
“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!”
“Dannie was great with my 2 12 yrs old dogs. She kept me updated with pics and text messages and even let them sleep with her! (Means they were very comfortable with her). Came back to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely be calling her for my next trip.”
About: My name is Alexandra and I am 38 years old and recently just moved to Naples. I currently have a cavachon and she is very adaptable to other animals. I also have a cat who is a total lovebug. I adore all dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. My schedule is extremely flexible. I am willing to bathe or give medication. I live for animals. I don't have any children. It is just my dog, cat and me so I have plenty of room and time to spend with furry friends! Please contact me anytime. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! My job is solely to take care of animals. This has been my lifelong dream for a long time. They are my world. Animals are what get me out of bed and outside for fresh air and exercise. I have sidewalks and plenty of grass in my complex. I live in a condo and I have mainly hardwood floors so it's ok if your animal has an accident.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Golden Gate is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Gate
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.
