“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”
“Sarah did an amazing job! Our senior lab is blind and has diabetes, and previously had issues with us leaving her. Sarah was able to come in and make our pup comfortable and kept us updated on how our pup was doing!! I absolutely recommend Sarah.”
“Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.”
“We had a family emergency and I needed a pet sitter last minute. My usual sitters were already booked up so I reached out to Anastasiia. She came within a few hours, we told her what she needed to know and I was on my way. I received regular updates and Anastasiia made my emergency situation a lot less stressful. I highly recommend her, you’ll come home to a house cleaner than how you left it.”
“Francesca did a wonderful job taking care of our girls over the 4th of July holiday. They are not a big fan of the fireworks, so she made sure to give them extra love and attention. We can always count on Francesca!”
“Nathan is great as always! He takes such good care of our babies while we are gone! We never have to worry! Lots of updates and pictures so I always know they are well taken care of! Highly recommend! We will continue to use him as our wonderful sitter!!”
About: Many have said that I am a dog whisperer. I enjoy walking dogs or just being a companion for cats and dogs. I also have senior care training to include giving meds. Right now this is my only job so I am available at all times of morning, mid day and evenings. I always accept positions that leave enough time in between sittings. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I do have a Staffy and he loves making new friends. H had a small dog for 6 of his years in our home and he was so good with him.
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Taylor did an amazing job as always with our boys, especially assisting with some medical needs one of our dogs required while traveling. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: I love dogs, I can talk about my own baby dog for days. I’m bilingual (Spanish and English), I love walking and I love pets. Mix them together and I’m there. I’m probably available when you need me so you can trust that I will take good care of your pets when you are not able :) I am a freelance photographer, so I work from home and manage my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings as needed :) I can walk pets, come and feed them or play with them or I can pet sit in your home. Unfortunately not available to bring pets to my own home
“Steffanie was great with with my Bernese Mountain Dog. She made time for the meet and greet, asked good questions about care and feeding, and exceeded my expectations during the house-sitting service by providing regular updates with photos. I l9ok forward to booking with Steffanie again and highly recommend her to others.”
“We loved Anna from the first meet & greet contact and so happy we found her to care of our baby at our home. She followed all instructions, was kind, patient and caring with our Bentley. She communicated timely and also took initiative to contact the maintanance staff for an AC issue the first evening we left. She made them understand this was an emergency because the house would get to hot for the doggie. This was the first time I left my dog and home with a sitter and did not worry. I was completely relaxed and came back to everything being in order. My dog is a bit shy with new people but warmed up to Anna quickly, played with her and even slept in her bed. We are so fortunate to find her here and now look forward to plan other trips. Thank you so much Anna!”
“Adriana did a great job with our pack. She arrived timely, spent most if not all of her days while we were gone at the house with them. It rained most of our time away so they were cooped up inside and we came home to a normal house so she found a way to keep them engaged and go out in the rain to potty. For at least one of them that isn't an easy task. She communicated daily with photos and updates and responded promptly to our messages. We came home to 3 healthy and happy dogs.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always taken care of pets, I have had many cats and dogs myself and I can take care of one or more pets (even dogs and cats at the same time). I am a college student, that means that I can do my school work anywhere at any time, so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your pet in your house. I also work as a server, but the shifts are usually 4 to 5 hours long, so I would never be gone for more than 6 hours. I love to play with dogs and cats! I would definitely have as much fun as they would when caring for them. I can feed, and clean up after them with no problem.
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing house sitting for me for a whole week with my three babies!!! I came home to very happy puppies and my apartment cleaner than I left it! I would absolutely recommend! She sent me so many photos! Always contacted me if she ever had questions and was so patient with me! Will definitely request her to house sit again for us!”
About: I’ve taken care of my pets my whole life, including my cat Gracie Lou, chow sharpie mix Sunshine and my ball python Klaus for the past eight years. I’ve fostered kittens, volunteered at the animal shelter and pet sit for friends cats growing up. I love animals and I’m happy to care for them! Everyday I make sure my three pets have clean water and food (except the ball python they only eat once a month) I play with my cat and dog every day. I work Friday & Saturday at 6PM but other than that I have full availability. I would make sure they get clean water, food and play time as those are essential. I love to take dogs on walks as many times are needed. I’d make sure that the kitty litter box is clean.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gotha
Yelena was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate us last minute to watch our fur-babies, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and was such a pleasure to have in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would definitely recommend Yelena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will absolutely be using her again! 🐾❤️
Diane was an excellent sitter and went above and beyond for our two dogs! We did not have wifi or cell connection during our trip but Diane continued to send us updates and photos which were the perfect updates to see when we got connection. She played fetch with our pups and made sure they stayed on their routine, with frequent drop ins and ample attention. Diane is knowledgeable and friendly and we hope to book her again for future visits. Thank you so much Diane- you rock!!
Brittney was so so wonderful! Our pups loved her and she made us feel so comfortable from the minute we met! She was very communicative and would send pictures every day! She also treated our home with the utmost care. I highly recommend her for any of your petsitting needs!
Thanya went beyond expectations staying at our home and caring for our dog Bogy! She sent many photos, tried many options to get Bogy to take his Meds, my house was well kept! It look just as I left it !!! What a pleasure to come home to ! I highly recommend Thanya and plan on booking with her again!
Steffanie is amazing! She helped me during a really tough time of having to find care for my animals very suddenly for my mom’s funeral service. She is very responsive and caring and so good to our babies. We will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her!
Our doggy enjoyed another wonderful booking with Liz! We always feel confident that we are leaving our dog in the very best care when we leave him with Liz. She is quick to respond, sends updates and pics, and is missed by our doggy when she leaves. We have already booked her again for next month and will continue to do so! Thank you, Liz!
Sherry was incredible with our pups! They were so happy we were home and then so sad that she wasn't there still! She sent exactly the right amount of pictures and updates for us. We know they can be a handful and we had a rushed exit for our trip, so we appreciated how flexible she was with our short-notice booking. Thank you Sherry!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gotha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gotha is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,075 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gotha. 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 Gotha 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 Gotha 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 Gotha 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 , 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 .
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.
