“We are always able to completely relax and enjoy our time away when Shauna takes care of our girls. She even does extra things like watering plants and checking the mail. I love the updates with pics too.”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
“Wow! If I had to describe a perfect pup sitter it is Kaitlyn. She was amazing! Great updates, house was perfect, dogs were given a bath. She definitely is above and beyond!”
“Marissa was so helpful and reliable during our vacation. She watched our home and dog and provided thorough communication and daily photo updates. I would recommend her for your dog and house sittings.”
About: I have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for years. I have nearly 10 years' experience as a veterinary technician and I have had multiple pets of my own for decades. I have experience with dogs (all breeds), cats, pocket pets (especially pet rats), birds, aquatic, reptile (except snakes). I also volunteer for Miss Winkles Pet Adoption Center handling various dogs and attending to their various needs and comfort levels. I also volunteer with horses and have a good understanding of horse care and communication. I am currently a stay at home mom of a teen, so I have some extra free time since my child no longer needs constant caretaking. I volunteer for Miss Winkles Pet Adoption and Heart of the Horse Therapy Ranch regularly. I am casually looking for part-time work that fits my skills. I would love to help care for your pets. I will care for your pets in your home just as you would and follow every preference you may have. I also have experience medicating cats, dogs, and rodents via oral medication or injections. I understand the importance of their routine and feeding guidelines. I will uphold your values with the greatest of care.
“Grace did an amazing job taking care of Buko and Paya this past weekend. She handled feeding and walks perfectly, and even helped with a few things around the house, like watering plants and picking up the mail. She also kept in touch by text and even sent a few pictures. It made the whole trip so much easier knowing everything was in good hands. I’d gladly have her back again.”
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!!🐾
“Kate did an AMAZING job taking care of our three pups! She send pictures and gave regular updates each day! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our fur pups were well cared for. Kate will be our go to dog sitter! 💕”
“Samuel was absolutely fantastic. Very quick with communications and follow up. Communications were consistent and informative. Momo was very happy spending time with Samuel and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routine. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet stays on their usual routine. I’m attentive during walks and playtime, and I’ll always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and leave everything the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of love, attention, and patience so they feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Anna is so great!! This was our first time doing any sort of pet sitting or house sitting and we immediately felt comfortable to leave our dog in her care. We are so thankful for her services and would definitely have her pet sit again!!”
“Amelia was great with our dogs and even befriended our shy kitty!! She had great communication with us while we were away and we would definitely recommend her to house and pet sit in the future!!!”
About: I have always grown up with animals in my home, mainly dogs and cats and some small creatures. I currently have two standard poodles. I started out taking care of other people's animals when I was a freshmen in high school with my neighbors' animals. When I started driving, that's when I expanded my services to staying overnight in other people's homes to take care of their animals. I recently graduated from Sonoma State University and taking a gap year before I get my masters degree. So right now, my schedule is pretty flexible and love any animals. Any time that someone needs care for their animals, I’m very happy to help out in any way that I can! When I stay overnight in other people's homes, if your animals need to be crated, I can do that and let them out at night if needed to go to the bathroom. I provide dog walking either morning or night.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gordon is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gordon
Marissa was amazing. I appreciated that she came for a pre-sit visit to my house. She was great about sharing cute pictures and updates every visit. Great communication. Best of all, my cat seemed chill and normal when I got back, and not the stressed she can be when I was away. I definitely recommend Marissa.
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.
<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 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.
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.
