“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Athena did a wonderful job watching our cat. Our home was spotless, she gave regular updates, and kept everything running smoothly. She even went above and beyond taking care of our chickens. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Paloa was absolutely amazing. She took very good care of our puppy and kept us posted with pictures & communicated with multiple times throughout the day!! I would highly recommend this lovely young lady!!”
“Danielle was a true lifesaver for us as she was able to watch our dog Zella at the last minute when another sitter (booked thru Rover) did not show up after we had already left town. More amazing was that she was able to watch her for the entire 3 weeks especially thru the holidays and we are forever grateful to her for the care she gave Zella. She sent us daily updates and photos throughout and gave us tremendous peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend Danielle to others and will definitely use her in the future without hesitation. She is truly awesome!!”
“Sean did a great job taking care of our girl Zella. He was very respectful of our home and communication was outstanding to make sure Zella was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend to others.”
“My boyfriend and I are so happy we found Dannie to watch our 8 month old puppy. This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter so we were a little nervous, but Dannie made our trip relaxed! I knew they’d do well together when my puppy loved her from the first meet and greet. She sent multiple messages and pictures throughout the day, updating us on how much fun they were having and just to say hi. It was comforting having her be so communicative. She followed our directions with our puppy (we have specific things we do for him) and she did them no problem. She also left the house clean and neat, which was appreciated! She’s also very calm and sweet, which was needed for our sometimes crazy puppy. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Diana was an outstanding sitter for our three babies! Our one doggy needed some extra care, including medication administration, and Diana was able to supply this care without any issue. She messaged us daily with pictures of our babies and kept in great communication. We had extra peace of mind as well as she stayed in our home and even brought in a package we forgot was scheduled for delivery. We would be thrilled to have Diana watch our babies again.”
“Ana was absolutely amazing with Ella and Lacey! From the moment we connected, I could tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. She took excellent care of both of them, sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving caregiver for their pets. Thank you Ana! 🐾❤️”
About: For more than 20 years, our life has been rooted in service and travel — first as a retired military family, and later as mission workers serving orphaned youth in the Dominican Republic. Through those experiences, home became especially meaningful to me. Some of the greatest joy in my life has come from raising my children, caring for our animals, and tending to our small homestead. Now that we are happily settled in Naples for good and my children are getting older, I have the opportunity to devote more time to caring for the homes and animals of others with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a homesteading and homeschooling Mom with older children, so my day is flexible with notice. I can do drop in visits to your home within a reasonable distance or stay over night keeping your pets comfortable in their own home as well. Because of the number of animals we already have on our little homestead, I’m only able to offer care for your fur-baby in your home.
“I trust Andrea so much with my two golden dogs!! She is always communicating the whole time, sending lots of pictures, and giving my dogs so much love! So happy to have someone like her to rely on when we need her!”
“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as much as four in a household! The largest being over 100 pounds and the smallest under 10! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have learned to understand body language pretty well! A little over a year ago my family brought in a month old puppy that has now grown to be a malinois/shepherd/bully mix so I have experience with a work breed puppy as well! I am currently enrolled at FGCU, my classes start during the fall so I am a completely open book during the week and weekends for the rest of the summer! (Will update when I start my classes) I am used to staying at my clients homes, I feel it makes the animals more comfortable and the last thing they need is to stress! I usually ask for notes on how the pets are usually cared for and strictly follow those notes so I don’t disturb the animals mental clock!
“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 ❤️”
“Victoria watched our two dogs for a long weekend and took wonderful care of them. She sent updates daily with photos and our dogs appeared to be quite comfortable! Our home was also very well maintained while she was here. Definitely keeping her on our list of sitters for future trips away!”
“She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.”
About: As a Humane society summer associate, frequent animal care volunteer, and previous wildlife rehabilitation intern, I have unique knowledge and husbandry training equipped to ensure your pets are as well taken care of as possible. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember; and with consistent communication, I can promise an updated and attentive pet-sitting experience for furry friends of all shapes and sizes! As I am new to Rover, I can be an available at a variety of times throughout the week. I am currently building my client portfolio and am happy to fit as many pets in as I can properly accommodate. Whether it’s early in the morning, late at night, or anywhere in between, I will do whatever I can to be there for you and your baby. I care for pets of others as diligently and thoroughly as I do mine. Ensuring the clients’ needs are not only met, but exceeded. Providing some fun activities along the way is a tactic I use ti ensure your pet is happy and stress-free while you’re away from home.
“Edward did a great job taking care of our 2 senior dogs. One is super high maintenance so the fact that Edward didn’t shy away from taking care of her was a giant win! We came back the house was exactly as we left it. He is extremely reliable and communicative. It’s a comfort to know that we have found someone we trust to take care of our babies when we can’t. I’m happy to provide anyone a reference if needed.”
About: Hi! I’m Joana, a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Naples, FL. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and vacation care for friends and neighbors’ pets. I always make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide attentive care by making sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given plenty of attention, and treated like family. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with animals of all personalities. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a loving and dependable environment. My schedule may vary due to my part-time job, but I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate pet owners’ needs. If I’m working a morning shift, I’m typically available in the mornings until 10 AM. On days I’m not working, I usually have full morning availability. If I’m not scheduled for a morning shift, I’m generally available until 1 PM in the afternoon, and on my days off I’m available throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability for the week — I’ll always do my best to help! :) I have a fenced yard and two babies. My dog is super friendly and love meeting new animals, your pet will never feel lonely with my pets :)

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 761 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:
- 90% 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.
