“Grace was punctual. She immediately started working with the dogs and made them feel comfortable as if she had been with them for years. We were pleased with everything that was asked of her. Highly recommended.”
“Not enough good things to say about Nicole. This was the 2nd time she sat for us and the second review I'm writing. She is very dedicated, passionate, caring, and respectful to us and our fur babies. She goes above and beyond, she put our needs before her own and she left the house immaculate. Our pups have not been the easiest but she takes very good care of them. Looking forward to our next travel to have her care for our dogs.”
“Ruby was so sweet and took very good care of Sarge. She sent pictures often and I could tell Sarge had a great weekend because he was exhausted when I got home! She also left everything very clean.”
“Kristen was great! She took care of my pup through some rough storms and helped keep her calm. Communicated with some cute pics as well. Also took the trash out when she was done with house sitting which she didn’t need to do! Would definitely recommend her :)”
“Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”
“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”
“We are so happy to have found Erin. She spent the weekend with Koda and Parker while we were busy with our son's wedding and we didn't worry one bit because we knew they were being taken care of and loved. We came home to 2 happy dogs and a clean house! Thank you so much Erin.”
“Bri was fantastic! She did such a great job with my dogs. I loved the daily updates, and I felt so comfortable having her stay at my house. Our dogs had a great week with her!”
“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”
“Katelyn was amazing. She is consistent and honest, and sincerely loves animals and respects owners times and wishes. I was comfortable with her house sitting in my home ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪
About: Me and my siblings grew up taking care of dogs. I’ve grown to love all of our family pets over the years. We’ve taken turns training, feeding, playing, and walking together. Have lots of fond memories! I generally can do most days anytime! Im free five days of the week, and pretty flexible, would love to just be able to help any opportunity. I do the basic things, take walks, feedings, play together, go outside for potty breaks. With my cats I scoop their litter daily, and we play occasionally.
“This was my first time using Rover and I am glad that I booked with Cassandra! I was nervous to use the app at first but after meeting her and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I went out of town. I could tell right away that she is very knowledge about dogs and my puppy Mia loved her and her family! She sent updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I would definitely book with Cassandra again!”
“Our experience with Sydney was great from start to finish. She took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout. When we got home, our younger pup kept looking around for her, which really says it all about how comfortable and happy the girls felt. We came back to two relaxed dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. We’d gladly book again and recommend their services.”
“Courtney is so wonderful, professional and reliable. She took amazing care of my XL malamute. They got along so well, and he was at ease very quickly which is amazing since he is a high anxiety dog. I recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to love their pet as one of their own.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Gringo is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gringo
Grace was very very good with Mollie. Mollie is very timid with new ppl and Mollie warmed up to Grace pretty quickly. When I returned, Mollie was cuddled up to Grace on the couch. I definitely recommend Grace for her calming personality is just what timid fur babies need. Thank you Grace for a great experience and I will definitely book with you again. 🐶❤️
Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.
Corinne was a fantastic pet sitter!!! Her communication was prompt and professional from beginning to end! Each day she would send me photos of our Goldendoodle, Sadie, along with a snippet of their daily activities. Sadie is extremely anxious and was living her best life with Corinne. If you are on the fence with hiring a pet sitter to stay at your home, be assured Corinne will do a WONDERFUL job!
We had a wonderful vacation, most in part, because we didn’t have to worry about our pups under Alisha’s care. She sent us photos and what they were up to every day. Gave them the best care! Came home to a clean home and extremely happy puppies. Thank you again, Alisha. ❤️🥰🙏

FAQs for House Sitting - Gringo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gringo on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,412 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gringo. 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 Gringo 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 Gringo 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 Gringo 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 91% 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.
