“Anna was great with our dogs. Even our shy one warmed up to her. And she helped taking care of a sudden broken water pipe on the water heater. She went above and beyond. We would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again. And our house for that matter. Thank you so much.”
“Gina took wonderful care of Bentley! He had so much fun playing and hanging out with her. The house was left in great condition, and I really appreciated her attentiveness. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m comfortable with cats & dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My guy is a wonderful handful so I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just feeding them and letting them out..but giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Just like I would do for my own I am currently working 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, so Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the days I have the most flexibility for you and your furry ones. These are the days I can dedicate the most time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around their individual needs. I work until 6pm so night time can be available if needed. I have a dog named BlackJack who is blast and high energy, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and videos (if you would like) so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing!

About: Hi! I am Sara, and I just moved back to Naples after being out in the Southwest for the past few years. Originally from upstate NY, I lived in NYC for over 13 years, then I moved out to San Diego, then down to Naples, then out to Phoenix….and finally decided to come back to Florida to settle. However, I travel a lot as well, so I am able to provide services in other cities depending on my travel schedule. Growing up, I had a rabbit and a mini dachshund as pets. Currently, I am the proud mom of four adorable guinea pigs and 3 dogs (2 Corgis and an Aussie shepherd). My experience with animals is extensive. I began taking care of dogs and cats at a young age and by middle school I had a successful neighborhood pet-sitting service. Additionally, I attended farm camp (yes, that exists haha) from age 6-11, and at 13 years old, I started working at the same farm (as farm staff and as a counselor for the kids' day and overnight camp programs). The farm was primarily a dairy farm, home to a herd of Jersey, Guernsey, and Holstein cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, and of course....plenty of dogs and cats. I worked there over 7 years and loved every minute of it. The responsibility and work-ethic that comes from animal husbandry is priceless - not only do I greatly value manual labor, but I also appreciate the dedication and daily grind that is intrinsic to farming and to ensuring that dependent animals' basic needs are met. Despite having lived in NYC, I still manage to spend time on farms and I travel extensively throughout the U.S., visiting and helping many friends/family that have different animals. Most recently, I have worked on a cattle ranch in Montana and goat dairy in Missouri, which were both a wonderful experiences. Since I have a full household of pets (and an human child) I am unfortunately unable to host any pets in my home. However, it is quite easy for me to get to places around the area, so I am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets. Sometimes, this is even better because then the animal(s) get to stay in the comfort of their home and don't experience the stress of a new environment, coupled with the absence of their owner! I am a very active person - so I look forward taking dogs out for long walks and playing with them! I prefer that we schedule services a week in advance (as specified), but I know that emergencies happen and sometimes you need somebody last minute. I am happy to occasionally provide last-minute services, especially since I have a somewhat flexible work schedule and my mode of transportation is quick! Most importantly, I have a deep respect and love for all animals. I look forward to meeting your creatures and you can rest assured that they will be in fabulous hands! I work full time but my hours are flexible. Additionally, I travel a lot, so I will update my location if I plan to be in a certain place for more than 5 days. Please do not hesitate to reach out with a booking inquiry. I always do my best to accommodate. The guinea pigs are in a nice hutch. The dogs stay in the kitchen when I am not home and they sleep inside the house.

About: Hi, I’m Josie, and have been caring for animals for just about my entire life! At 14 years old I began volunteering at Domestic Animal Services. Through this I discovered my adoration for all types of animals, and since then have worked at dog kennels and veterinary offices. Through working at the vet I am also experienced in administering all sorts of medications, and have learned how to respond in the case of a health emergency. As a dog & cat owner myself, I know firsthand how important it is to find the right person who will treat your fur babies as their own! I am completely free on weekends, I do work a full time job during the week, depending on location may be able to go home & provide mid day care if needed! Unfortunately, due to my own dog not getting along well with other animals, I am only available to pet sit overnight at your own home. I am also able to do any other jobs that this would entail, such as getting the mail, taking trash in/out, etc.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I am very familiar with taking care of them. I have years of experience in overnight sitting and caring for others' pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule. As a Realtor, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. If they should need extra care, I'll be there! I have done all overnight pet sitting at my client's home. I make sure the pets are properly taken care of, attended to, and all duties assigned are completed.
“Dannie was amazing with our 13 year old dog Sienna! She followed all the directions for taking care of her and was great about sending us updates and pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend her especially if you are nervous about leaving your dog when you travel. She put our mind at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Gate
Lauren is so amazing. We never left Ruby and Benny with anyone other than family and were concerned; however, our pups loved Lauren from the meet and greet. We felt totally comfortable after we met her and the next two days were just magical for Ruby and Benny. Lauren sent pictures and texts to keep us updated and it was clear their relationships were nothing but perfect! We'd like to thank Lauren with all of our heart for taking such great care of them.
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.
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
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.
We recently used Ava for the first time and it was a great experience. She was incredibly sweet and went out of her way to offer a last-minute meet and greet before the booking. (which made such a difference.) She arrived on time, was attentive, and followed our care instructions to the letter, even asking thoughtful questions along the way. The biggest thing for us: our Weimaraner, JuJu, can be selective with new people. She's a dog that loves her people, but warms up to strangers on her own terms. She was comfortable with Ava almost immediately, which honestly says everything. Juju has separation anxiety, and has just started to become quite mischievous when left alone. We asked Ava if she could stay during the day, and she agreed without issue. Which put us at ease. Thanks Ava!

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Gate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Golden Gate is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $93 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 758 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden Gate. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
