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..”

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together.

I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.

“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!”

“I can't recommend Christine enough—she's an absolute dream of a pet sitter! From the moment we met for the initial greet, my two dogs were wagging their tails like crazy, and I knew they’d be in great hands. During my trip, Christine sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos of my dogs playing and enjoying her company. Christine’s communication was top-notch—quick responses to my random check-ins. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, book Christine now. I’ll definitely be repeat client!”

“Mollie was fantastic with our Jack Russell Rocco. We reached out and she quickly replied, set up a time to talk before and she was super friendly and accommodating. It was clear she knew the area well and loved dogs! She has some of her own and she is clearly a dog person- she was on time day of and Rocco immediately took to her. She sent pics and a video while we were out. We felt really comfortable with her and knowing Rocco with someone he liked. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend Mollie!”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Golden Gate is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $102 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
