“Penny has watched our dogs and house twice and each time, has provided great service. Our dogs are happy and healthy, and our house is clean. She communicated well and send pictures and updates daily. Thank you Penny! We appreciate you so much!”
“I was only gone for two nights, but I could tell Emmanuelle loved my fur babies like they were her own. I got lots of pictures and text updates, and she was always responsive when I reached out. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“I can’t thank Jordynn enough for the great care of my pups who have vastly different personalities. One sweet girl Nina who never wants to leave your side and could play all day and then my shy old man Dewey. But Dewey warmed up to her so quickly and I could tell Jordynn truly cares about animals. She was courteous, timely and thoughtfully communicative. Even though I was going to be without cell service during part of my time away I always returned to pics and updates. I look forward to booking with her again.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“Heather was extremely helpful in agreeing to watch our two beagles over the 4th of July for us! She was an excellent sitter, and we felt at peace knowing she was looking after our home and boys while we were gone. Heather was extremely communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and even brought her kids to play with the boys so they’d have lots of company. Heather administered medicines and was even kind enough to pick up a few packages for us. We’d highly recommend Heather as someone who will take care of your home and pets while sending some great photos to boot. Thank you very much for helping us out, Heather!”
“Great communication and experience with Chloe - did an amazing job during an overnight sitting so that we could enjoy a rare “date night” over in Seattle. Nice updates and photos during our absence. Will use again!”
“Michael clearly loves dogs and he made sure our dogs were entertained and cared for. He even cleaned up before he left which was very helpful since we didn’t want to come back and clean after a long trip.”
“Katherine and Brian are a gem! They took such great care of our dogs. One of our dogs is very timid, but Katherine and Brian were able to gain her trust very quickly. We are so grateful to have found them to take care of our doggos when we are away. They also left our place immaculate and even prepared a delicious meal for us. Thank you so much!”
“Daria did a great job looking after my Frenchie! She truly loves and cares for animals and pays attention to details. She even stayed on to make sure my pup did not have to wait too long for us returning from airport. My house was left neat and I received regular photos and updates! Will definitely book Daria again”
“Natascha did great! I look forward to having her watch our pups again. She kept me informed, took pictures, and left my house in exceptional shape. She was patient with my very anxious dog, I highly reccomend her!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“We have two very particular dogs who don't get along very well and Samantha did a great job at taking care of them. We hired her for 2 weeks of overnight house sitting and she went above and beyond. She kept our plants alive, took out the trash and recycling, did her own dishes, and cleaned the towels and linens. We received frequent updates during our vacation and any concerns we had were addressed quickly and respectfully. I highly recommend Samantha for house sitting and are excited to call on her in the future for our dogs. Our dogs love her and we do too!”
“My pups love Wakana and her husband! I think they may even like them more than us! 😂 They do such a wonderful job. Best pet/house sitter we have EVER had. Pictures and updates were sent daily and they took exceptional care of our house and pups. They also focused on the pups giving them the attention they needed along with playtime and snuggles. Thank you so much Wakana!”
“Autumn is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever booked! She was very communicative, handled each dog perfectly despite their individual quirks and overall made me feel so much better about going on vacation! I absolutely recommend Autumn to look after and love your animals!”
“Could not be happier with the care Cara provided for our big ole mama dog while we were gone. Almost want to plan another trip just so they can hang out again! I recommend Cara without hesitation.”
About: Since I was a child my family has had pets in the home. When I was 9 my sister and I collaborated to earn ourselves a kitten and since then pet care has been an important part of my life both the cuddly and the smelly. Most of my experience is with cats, I have one myself who is a total sweetheart once she gets comfortable. I’ve watched over and managed multiple cat households, senior cats, outdoor cats, and cats that have required oral medication. I also have experience watching over dogs, taking them out when needed, playing with them to help tire them out. I am comfortable walking dogs big and small, I am not professionally trained but know I can hold my own when needed. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care for your pets! Available all hours of the day and night, and I can be flexible with new jobs or cancellations. I have experience house sitting so I understand that it’s often about more than just taking care of your pets but also ensuring that your home is safe and well kept. People I’ve sit for can attest that I do my best to ensure everything is in its place and to make the space at least as clean as it was originally.
“Very kind and sweet girl. Watched our babies overnight and it was nice to know that we could trust her with our girls. Was very communicative while with them and sent pics. We had a mishap at the beginning when our key didn’t work for her to get in. Luckily she was very understanding and patient as we got that figured out. Would definitely recommend her if you have a hard time finding trustworthy people to care for your dogs. We will be using her again.”
“Anna was great. She communicated well, was diligent and loving in how she related to Gilly, and showed initiative and a positive work ethic in caring for our home while we were gone for 4 days. We would work with her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gorst is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gorst
Daria was amazing. Our dog DJ really liked her and he needs quite a bit of attention. He's a very old dog and can be finicky. Daria followed our difficult instructions for our dog very well and was very respectful of our house. Will be having her watch DJ much more often.
Leah was amazing! She took great care of our fur daughter and sent pictures and updates. Leah also left our home in clean condition. She kindly went back after work on her last day to feed and check on Rainier because our flight was landing later than planned. We highly recommend Leah!
Zoe is THE BEST! She stayed at our home with our pets for a 2 week trip out of the country for our wedding and honeymoon. During that time our cat Frederick had a pretty severe accident that required emergency vet care. Zoe and her husband Jerin were on their way to the vet with Frederick in less than 10 minutes after they discovered his injury. Frederick ended up needing immediate surgery and an overnight stay. They picked him up the next day and then provided amazing aftercare for the remaining week we were gone. Zoe made it possible for us to enjoy our wedding and time after with minimal worry. She truly cared for our pets and especially Frederick with gentleness and compassion. She kept us updated on his recovery and sent picture of him looking quite content and comfortable. This is our 5th time hiring Zoe and her calm and clear head during a scary incident has cemented her as our #1 choice for a house/pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gorst on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gorst. 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 Gorst 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 Gorst 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 Gorst 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.
