“Did great with our dogs on our weekend trip. Very responsive, loved that she sent photos. We’ve never left our dogs alone before, so we were a bit stressed but she certainly calmed us by making sure we knew our dogs were okay”
“Chelsea was wonderful with my two dogs while we were away. She is very conscientious and the house was in perfect order when we returned. I would highly recommend Chelsea and would love to have her housesit for us again.”
“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15, but my love for animals started long before that. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and they truly have a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve pet sat for families and friends, and through their recommendations, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for pets of people. I hadn’t previously met. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home and someone else’s care so I always treat every pet like they’re my own-with lots of love, patience and care.🐾 My availability is all day Saturday & Sunday + select weekday evenings. Message me for availability! I am currently working part time and a full-time student, so Friday-Sunday works the best for me right now with some evening availably:) I want your pets to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, which is why I’m happy to care for them right in their own home. I will follow their normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and always treat your home with care and respect. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re gone!!🐾
“Thank you Kate for taking great care of my two fur babies! Kate was responsive and responded quickly to any messages. She was timely and gave my dogs love and attention! I will definitely be calling Kate again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful dog sitting for my two dogs. Both of my dogs warmed up to her very quickly and She treated my dogs just as they were her own. She sent me updates and let me know how the dogs were doing.”
“Thanh-Mai was great with our separation anxiety boy. He immediately took to her even though he’s typically shy. She was super enthusiastic & well knowledged about dogs. We felt safe that our dog was in great hands. She provided updates and reassured that he was happy and comfortable. I’d definitely recommended having her care for your pets :)”
About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.
About: I have grown up around dogs all my life and aside from having a dog for 17 years and taking care of him. I have also dogs at for family friends as well. I am also in school to become a Veterinarian so I have beginner knowledge in pet health. I am currently a full time student at Fresno State. With my classes and the times they occur. I would never be away from your pet for more than a few hours. I value taking care of pets as if they were my own. I’d provide whatever care was required of me to give to your pet as well a treating them as if they were my own dog. Which means I’d make sure they’d feel loved and safe. As well as maintaining a healthy schedule such as eating on time, walks, ample play time, and lots of belly rubs of course.
“Kimberly was wonderful! So reliable and attentive the entire time. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again! -Beth and Knox”
“Joseph was fantastic! He stayed with our 2 dogs for 7 nights. One of our dogs takes medication and the other needed special food preparation. He did both according to instructions. On the first night, our keyless door lock stopped working due to the rain. He remained calm and willing to do whatever was needed to regain entry to the house. He also touched base/sent photos daily to let us know the dogs were doing well. As an added bonus, he introduced our dogs to DogTV, which they love! When we got home, our dogs were surprisingly calm. It was clear they were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using Joseph again!”
“After being away for 16 days, I came home to happy healthy animals well cared for plus plants thriving! She keep with updated on the status of my animals on a regular bases and informed me of minor changes so I can take care of it when I returned (dog leash was destroyed again).”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had dogs in my house since I was 10 and have taken care of puppies before as well. I’m currently unemployed and at home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time to devote to taking care of your babies! Any and all types of service I can do, from overnight stays to drop ins and check ups. I have experience taking care of untrained puppies and I can keep up with very energetic dogs. I can walk, feed and play with dogs or give them space as needed. I’m very respectful of animals and their owners’ wishes.
About: I've taken care of pets about half my life and always clicked with all kinds pets and relied on for many pet needs of the family. I have a pretty open schedule so it fits just fine in my routine and daily life caring for pets of all kind. It works great I tend to the needs and necessary care of the pet or pets rather it be my home or clients. Everything will be taken cared of and pets leaving happy.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gordon
Dalene was wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. Willow barely even noticed me leaving for work because she was already having fun playing fetch! Dalene was prompt and sent the perfect amount of updates and photos throughout the day. I felt very comfortable having her spend several hours in our home caring for our fur baby, and we look forward to having her visit again!
This is the second time Daniella has taken care of our pup while we went on vacation for several days. She’s very reliable, fully committed and took great care of Dusty including administering medication. We highly recommend her and will definitely request her services again.
This was my second time booking Anna, and once again she was wonderful! She stayed with my dogs and my daughter’s dogs for four hours while we attended a family function. We came home to happy pups and appreciated the peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Anna!
Solome did an excellent job with my 2 large breed dogs! I booked her for an overnight.. house sitting plus doggie duties. My pups can be intimidating and high maintenance. She handled them well. I received regular updates with pictures and she is very communicative. I will be booking her again in the future. 👍🏼

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 Gordon 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 Gordon 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 Gordon 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.

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.
