“Elizabeth did a great job with Mack and Aries, while I was out of town. She took them for multiple walks per day and respected my home. We already have a other stay booked with Elizabeth!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and have always helped take care of them. From cats to dogs to birds to hamsters, I have experience with them all. Schedule with me to make sure your pets are safe and cared for. I have a pretty open schedule as I do most of my side work from home. Let me know what works for you and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat my clients home with the upmost respect. I’ll follow your instructions to the letter to make sure you get what you are asking for.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life — I grew up with cats and have had my own dog for the past 9 years, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me to watch their dogs and cats, whether it’s daily check‑ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m extremely responsible, attentive, and genuinely happiest when I’m around animals. My dog is my best friend, and I bring that same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I’m available anytime, including weekdays, weekends, and short‑notice requests. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I can easily accommodate last‑minute bookings, extended stays, and pets with specific routines or timing needs. Your pet’s schedule becomes my schedule. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment wherever your pet feels most comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely — feeding times, walks, play, medications, and any special quirks or preferences. I’m very attentive and patient, and I make sure pets get plenty of affection, enrichment, and supervision. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I keep things clean, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away.
“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Shelby was awesome to have stay with our two dogs overnight for the week. She took good care of them, played walked and sent great pictures and kept us up to date. Look forward to having Shelby take care of our girls again.”
“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”
“I usually leave Rosie with a family member when I go out of town, but this time I was in a pinch and didn’t have a family member available. That’s when I decided to try Rover. Well I couldn’t be happier because Logan was exceptional. He came a few days before our trip to meet us and Rosie instantly loved him! He not only took care of her but he played with her, cuddled with her and gave her lots of attention. We’re already planning for him to come back the next time we go out of town! Thanks Logan for your care and compassion for Rosie!”
“Iviah was perfect . I felt so much better having someone stay with my elder dog . She gave me so much peace of mind which let me enjoy my trip . She went above and beyond with my elder dog. A god send! I would 100% recommended her .”
“Sarah was excellent taking care of our dogs Rex and Bronty. She stayed in our home and when we returned the house was spotless, which we truly appreciated. We experienced an extreme winter storm during our trip that caused multiple flight cancellations, and Sarah was more than accommodating with our extended return and a true all-star in a heavy snowfall. That flexibility and understanding made a stressful situation so much easier. Leaving our 15 year old senior dog is always scary, but Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Rex and making sure his needs were met all while keeping our higher energy dog Bronty calm and comfortable. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she was never hesitant to reach out with questions or updates. We felt confident and at ease knowing our dogs and home were in such great hands. We would recommend Sarah for dog sitting wholeheartedly to anyone. We will definitely be using her services in the future and are so happy to have found her. Thank you Sarah!”
“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”
“Lori is excellent at communicating with us about the plans for the weekend & our expectations for the dogs. She has been dependable. She truly takes time to know the dogs. The dogs are always her focus. We are happy to connect with such a thoughtful dog sitter.”
“We always love booking with Ari; our dog Stella absolutely loves her! She's excellent at communicating and always leaves our house in perfect condition. She genuinely loves and cares for our dog so well that we always have peace of mind when Ari is caring for her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gouldsboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gouldsboro on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gouldsboro. 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 Gouldsboro 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 Gouldsboro 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 Gouldsboro 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.
