“Santiago took such great care of our dogs over the weekend! He sent us tons of picture updates, gave them lots of playtime, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend him!”

Our dog developed a limp the day before we left for our trip and Jacob was happy to follow the ver instructions and administer pills. He sent updates and photos each day. We would absolutely have Jacob care for our pets again.”
“Megan was an outstanding dog-cat-house sitter. She kept our dog and cat happy and safe over a 4 day period. She was a respectful and considerate guest in our home, leaving everything meticulously clean and in its place! We received wonderful pictures and updates of what our pets were up to. You can tell that Megan has a kind heart in the way she treats animals and people. I would absolutely rebook her the next time we have a need and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Lauren is absolutely AMAZING. We have a COVID pup so he has separation anxiety and doesn't warm up quickly to people when we are gone but he had a blast with Lauren! She is patient and plays so they can build trust. Lauren even took him on a hike while we were gone. She stayed out our place the whole time and left it so tidy and clean! Lauren we are so happy we found you!!”

Not only does Lila provide numerous pictures with comments/ she sends pictures of anything that she thinks looks abnormal. Lila is delightful, responsable, and she loves animals! She will treat yours like hers I have no hesitation about giving her the highest marks possible.”

“Heidi was absolutely exceptional with our boys. We were away for a full week, and she went above and beyond in every way—providing attentive, loving care for our dogs while also taking incredible care of our home. We returned to a spotless house, the gardens were watered, and, most importantly, two happy, relaxed pups who were clearly well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Heidi is reliable, thoughtful, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality pet and home care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gunbarrel
We had a medical emergency on our trip. August was totally flexible and supportive as we made our way through the changes in schedule that occurred. It felt as if we had a member of the family helping us out as there was no question about his being there as long as necessary. He checked in often, with reassuring comments. As for our girl Daisy, he kept us informed with wonderful photos of their adventures. August is an excellent photographer! When we arrived home, Daisy was only minimally excited and went to the front door looking for August! Highly recommend! There are not enough words to explain how confident we are in August's kind and good care.
Jacob did great with our dog and cat! He was communicative and flexible, met our dog beforehand, and spent a lot of time with our animals. Our dog developed a limp the day before we left for our trip and Jacob was happy to follow the ver instructions and administer pills. He sent updates and photos each day. We would absolutely have Jacob care for our pets again.
Joanie always does a great job caring for our pup, Odin! He is a high maintenance, anxious dog that takes a lot of time to warm up to new people. We do many drop ins before an actual stay so that Odin has time to adjust and Joanie has always been very patient and adjusts her care to accommodate him.
Alyah took great care of our cat and German shepherd dog for 2 nights/3 days last week. She was wonderful! She came over a couple of weeks beforehand to meet us and our fur babies. This showed she truly cared about forming a connection not only with us but with our pets as well. While we were gone, Alyah sent pictures and updates a couple times a day. She was a great communicator and asked important questions for clarification. We returned home to find our animals happy and well cared for! Will definitely reach out again when we need in home pet sitting/housesitting services. Thank you so much Alyah!
Kelsey watched our 2 little pups over a holiday break and watched our apartment - and we came home to happy dogs! Over the moon with her care. She's unbelievably attentive and kind and our dogs fell for her upon their first meeting. Thank you! Highly recommend Kelsey.

The average cost of House Sitting in Gunbarrel is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night.

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 Gunbarrel 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 Gunbarrel 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 Gunbarrel 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.
