“Sophia took wonderful care of our 3 fur-babies. We were kept up to date and provided lots of pictures while we traveled. She followed our care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond our expectations!!”
“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“Stephanie watched our cat and dog at our house over the holidays and did a great job! She spent a lot of time with our animals and gave updates/pics. We appreciated that she took in our mail, brushed our dog, and even cleaned a Roomba vac that ran over a pet mess. Highly recommend!”
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal watching our two dogs while we went away for a weekend trip! From the moment we left, she went above and beyond—sending regular pictures and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. She made sure our pups had everything they needed, stuck closely to their routines, and clearly treated them like her own. Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine care exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, reliable pet sitter. 11/10!”
“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, and I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll stick to your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, or simply giving them a calm place to relax. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing. Every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes them happiest. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers quiet naps and belly rubs, I’ll provide care that’s personalized to their needs.I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! Pet care suits my schedule since i’m a stay at home mom to my daughter! I wouldn’t mind having a friend to hangout with me! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. Every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they get the attention and care that fits their personality. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make your time away as stress-free as possible.
“Second time we had Rabia watch our dogs, she responds quickly and sends updates. We appreciate having a dog sitter who seems to genuinely care for them! We’d book with her again 😊”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with a wide variety of needs, personalities, and routines. I am certified through National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and have extensive experience with multi-pet households and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets, pets with medical needs, and animals that require a little extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s normal routine and to provide updates so you can feel confident they’re receiving the same level of care they get at home. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for birds, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a great fit for households with a variety of pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or needs specialized care, I strive to provide compassionate, individualized care tailored to their unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I know that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, respect, and kindness I would want for my own. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. I care for multiple pets of my own each day, so feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, medication administration, and monitoring behavior and health are already built into my mornings and evenings. Because caring for animals is such a regular part of my life, I am comfortable incorporating visits, walks, and drop-ins into my schedule while ensuring each pet receives attentive, individualized care and plenty of updates for their owners. Occasionally available for overnight sitting. I work 6 am - 2 pm I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their normal environment and maintain their usual routine. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, receive any needed medications, get plenty of attention and enrichment, and have clean living areas. For dogs, this includes walks, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise tailored to their energy level. For cats and other pets, I focus on companionship, play, and maintaining their regular routines. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
“We needed a last-minute dog sitter, and Bri stepped right in! She was incredibly kind, took great care of our dogs, and even washed the sheets and cleaned up after herself before leaving. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would book her again.”
“The main point was how well the dogs were taken care of. They seemed happy and well taken care of. They weren’t in distress in any way, and we received a couple pictures of them while we were away, which was great! There were a couple things we took issue with, specifically with the house.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience and gentle handling. As a veteran, I bring reliability, attention to detail, and calm leadership that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, supporting senior dogs with mobility challenges, and keeping up with energetic pups who need exercise and structure. What sets me apart is consistency—you can count on me to be on time, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m available for morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening care. I'm home constantly, which allows me to focus on the needs of each pet. Whether it’s regular daily walks, weekend sitting, or last-minute bookings, I ensure pets receive consistent attention and care when their families are unable to be there. Safety and trust come first in every home I step into. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets stay safe. I provide plenty of positive attention, consistent communication with updates and photos, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure. My goal is to give every family peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own.
“Beasley immediately warmed up to Maddie. She asked about our needs, Beasleys needs, and any special instructions. My wife and I had all the confidence in the world when we left our fluffy in her hands”
About: Hi! Im Luis & I have over 10+ years experience with caring and loving for doggies. Former Marine , just absolutely love not only caring for dogs, but also ensuring strong client service for dog parents so that they are assured that their pup is great hands while they are away. Right now I am only doing walks and house sitting at clients home for now while I get my own house squared away.
“Anabel was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos while house sitting for our pup. She also left the house as it was and even cleaned her sheets and towels, so very nice. Thank you for taking great care of of our pup 💕”
“Madison watched our dog for almost 2.5 weeks while we were on a holiday trip to see family. We did a meet and greet before the trip to make sure she got to know our dog (as he is reactive) and I loved that she asked questions so that she knew what our wants/needs are for the stay. She is so sweet and did so great during the whole stay. She also has really great communication and I highly recommend her!”
“Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gonzalez
Maghen is a phenomenal and caring sitter. She was professional, kind, and communicative from the very first message. This was our first time leaving our dogs for the weekend, and Maghen made us feel secure in the fact that they were being well cared for. She sent lots of photos and consistently checked in. You can tell she really loves animals and was an overall joy to have around. Our dogs loved her, so we will definitely be booking with her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Maghen for everything...you really exceeded our expectations!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gonzalez on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 601 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gonzalez. 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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.

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.
