“Noah was awesome! Kind to my furbabies, no complaints from them- 2 paws up. Noah was quick at responding and ready to go on short notice for us. This was our first time using Rover; I'm glad I found Noah when needed. We'll be using him again when the time comes.”
“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 probably get along with dogs more than I do people. I've grown up with many, and have rescued most of the ones I have owned. Dogs are so much more than pets to me, they are family! They are such a big part of my life that I even went to school to become a vet assistant. However, life interfered and I never acquired my certificate (out of time frame, I passed my tests?). In the past two years, I’ve acquired my CCMA, and am studying now to become an RN. I love taking care of people and pets. :) I have experience pet sitting as well as working at a doggy daycare-one of my favorite jobs! Now I have bigger bills to pay, and children to take care of. However, I loved it so much that I would like to get back into doing this on the side. It’s a win-win for the both of us, because I get doggo lovings, and you get your doggo taken care of!
“Francesca was AMAZING! This was our first time leaving Birdie with a sitter in a few years and she did a great job accommodating to her schedule. She did a wonderful job communicating throughout the stay as well.”
“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!”
“Julissa was wonderful with my dog. Lots of pics and Tucker was cuddled up to her giving kisses! I will definitely use her again and again, such a sweetheart, very professional!”
“If you're trying Rover for the first time like we were, I can't recommend Jenna enough. We chose her because she had more reviews than almost anyone else we looked at, and she still maintained a perfect five star rating. Now we understand why. We were gone on a deep sea fishing trip, and Jenna came by twice to take care of our dog, Ruger. She didn't just let her out for a potty break. She spent time playing with her, throwing the ball, and making sure she got plenty of exercise. Ruger was happy, tired, and clearly well cared for when we got home. Jenna was reliable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and our home, and her communication was outstanding. We received so many updates throughout our time away, which gave us complete peace of mind. She followed instructions perfectly and truly went above and beyond—washing and folding linens, tidying up, and making sure everything was left spotless. Most importantly, our pups were clearly well cared for, loved, and happy. It was obvious she treated our home and our dogs as if they were her own. We would absolutely trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented sitter.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, cleaning, and providing lots of attention, play, and affection. I am currently in college so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I am available everyday before 6:30 AM and after 11 AM and free weekends all day. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, take care of walks or playtime, give medications if needed, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“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.”
“We have met Kari twice now and this is the first time we left her with our dog Lucy. We had a positive experience with her. She is always on time and was nice to us and accommodating. My dog seems to really like her and she was able to follow care instructions for my dog. We would like to continue to use Kari; as a matter of fact we already booked her services again.”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with my two Sharpei dogs. They are very much personality wise within the breed characteristics and are suspicious by nature and very shy. Sam knows his animals and did a fantastic job with working with them to make them comfortable. He stayed with them and made sure they were comfortable and came and let them out on his lunchbreak the day we were arriving home so they were not alone all day. He went above and beyond taking care of them. One is a pup with a bit of separation anxiety as I work from home so they are not alone often at all. I will definitely use Sam again for my pets needs. This was so much better of an experience for them than being kenneled somewhere and they would have been scared and lonely. Thank you Sam for everything and I will be recommending Rover to all my friends. It was great to get the updates daily to know that my babies were doing ok. Fantastic experience.”
“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”
“Bo is an absolute blessing to me and my babies! She stayed at my house for 3 nights and kept me updated with photos. She was very responsive. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I would absolutely recommend Bo, the dog whisperer! We love her!!”
“Great we have used her 2 times now. First for a day trip and then for a 4 day trip. I have 5 pets and she cared for them all and had great communication and sent pics throughout the days . I will be definitely using her for future trips .”
About: I know how it feels to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, which is why I provide the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priority. 🐶🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I can keep a close eye on them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️ Your pet will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in a gated, secure community with its own dog park, perfect for playtime and exercise. I also enjoy walking around the community with my own dog, giving your pup plenty of fresh air, movement, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️
“We had a different rover booked, but he had to back out, due to his pet becoming ill. She happily stepped up and took care of our two dogs and our place. Our dogs are occasionally difficult, but she asked some questions and adjusted to them. We would definitely have her back. Thank you”

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 $27.75 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 608 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gonzalez. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
