“Noah is the best!! We had a friend cancel on us and he came through last minute to house and pet sit. It was our first time booking on Rover and we were a tad nervous to leave our pets and house with someone we didn't know, but were so at ease once we met him. Our pets loved him and he left our house in perfect shape. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“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.”
“Marissa did a great job house/cat sitting while we were away for a few days. She was punctual, communicated with us how things were going, and most importantly, took great care of our cat!!”
About: Hi! Im Luis & I have over 10+ years experience with caring and loving for doggies. Former Marine , just absolutely love not only caring for dogs, but also ensuring strong client service for dog parents so that they are assured that their pup is great hands while they are away. Right now I am only doing walks and house sitting at clients home for now while I get my own house squared away.
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”
“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
“Shannon did a great job house sitting for me and watching my very anxious doodle!! Winnie seemed very happy when i got home! The house was kept very clean and left in the same condition i left it in. I will definitely book again with her!! thank you!!”
About: I absolutely love caring for pets and making sure they feel happy and safe while you're away! 🐾 Whether it’s teaching playful puppies new tricks, giving extra love and patience to senior pets, or keeping up with your pet’s routine, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and lots of snuggles. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for every step of the way! ❤️ I have a flexible job that gives me plenty of time during the day for drop-ins and walks. On weekdays, I’m available for longer visits after 4 PM, and I have open availability on weekends. I’d love to help care for your pets whenever you need! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their usual routines. I provide fresh food and water, give plenty of potty breaks or walks, and spend quality time playing, snuggling, and keeping them company
About: If I’m being completely honest, I’m a bit of a helicopter dog mom myself. I’m very selective about who I trust with my own dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pet the way you would. I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my own. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Just ask my husband—I’ve rescued baby squirrels and bunnies, and I’m constantly worried about every stray or wild animal that crosses my path! 😂 I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through pet sitting for family and friends, and I’ve been a proud dog mom for more than 7 years. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a teacher currently enjoying summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, medication, or just someone to keep them company, I have the availability to provide attentive, personalized care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and any special instructions before each stay. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or providing in-home care, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Great communication. Went above and beyond to see if there was any housework that needed to be done. I had peace of mind knowing that my babies were taken care of. I could enjoy my time away for the first time in a long time. Thank you Annabelle!”
“Nathalia watched my two large, rambunctious shepherds and I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond. She walked them, she even bathed them, and she was very communicative the whole time through texts and sending pictures of them. Nathalia was the sweetest thing and my dogs absolutely loved her”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for several years and I have administered medications to dogs on several occasions. I have potty trained several puppies. I work full time but I have breaks that I’m able to use to check on pets throughout the day. I work in Pensacola daily. I would care for your pets in whatever way they are used to in your home. The schedule you use would still apply while your away.
About: I am very energetic and I love doing activities with dogs. For example running to a the closest dog park or field, playing fetch, rough housing. I'm am punctual, and mostly available most of days of the week. I have had a total of four dogs in my lifetime, so I know have an adequate amount of pet experience. I am very loving and caring. I am trained in fire and rescue, and also trained in Personal Care Assistances. I have worked with all sorts of animals; chickens, cows, goats, horse of all breeds, etc. My house is great for pets, it has a large front yard with plenty of space for them to around in. I hope you to watch your dog(s) in the future.
“Sweet lady, cares about the animals and did a little extra by taking one of my cats to the vet for treatments twice while I was gone. Would recommend for drop in pet care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goulding
Sara was great with our cat, Merlin! I certainly recommend her! She sent pictures of Merlin, stayed at the house to keep him company, fed him, played with him and let him in and out. She even notified us of an impending storm and secured items, plants and umbrellas on the deck. It’s obvious she loves pets and is very conscientious.
Anne was great! This was our first time using rover since moving to Pensacola and we lucked out with Anne watching our two dogs. We had a 2 week trip to Europe and she stayed with our golden retriever and (slightly more difficult) Shiba Inu. She handled both with great care and formed a friendship with the Shiba, which is rare. We had constant communication and she respected our house along the way. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you, Anne!
Felicia was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my one dog with a sitter and she was so kind and understanding. She sent pics throughout the day and stayed over a couple of nights to snuggle with my pups a little extra. Her rates are way lower than the work and love she puts in. Thank you, Felicia!
Caitlin was just what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She was communicative, responsible and friendly. She sent great updates with photos every day. Our shiba inu and dachshund seemed to really enjoy her presence and warmed up nicely. We look forward to using Caitlin for more dog sitting needs in the future!
Dawn is simply the best! She has cared for my 3 pups several times and I especially appreciate how well she care for my elderly 16-year-old Pomeranian Including giving him his meds twice a day and special attention going outside If you have an elderly pup, I highly recommend Dawn!
I am extremely grateful for taking care of my dog Lauren and for accepting our reservation at the last minute. The caregiver was very kind, flexible, and understanding, which gave me great peace of mind. Lauren was well cared for, and communication was excellent. I truly appreciate the help and would definitely recommend and book again.
Claire did an excellent job watching my two dogs and three cats, she handled my senior chihuahua well and was great about keeping me updated on my two shy kitties. I appreciated her coming before the booking to meet the animals and make sure we all felt it was a good fit. Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!
Took good care of my pups. Also took them out to run. Very friendly. Only complaint is when I got home, the puppy was out of the cage for around 3 hours and had 2 potty accidents on the floor and also chewed up a few things. The camera also didn’t get plugged back in when she left :/

FAQs for House Sitting - Goulding
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goulding on Rover is $55.5 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 646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goulding. 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 Goulding 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 Goulding 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 Goulding 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 Goulding. On Rover:

- 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.
