“Heather took such good care of our baby Sven ? we truly did not have to worry about him while we were on vacation. She stayed over at our house so she was there for whatever he needed. I would definitely recommend Heather if your looking for someone who will give you peace of mind when it comes to traveling without your furry baby!”
“Sandra was available super last minute to help watch my dogs for the day in my home. She sent tons of pictures of my pups and updated me throughout the day. She was awesome! Her service dog came with her and was very well behaved as well. No concerns.”
“Gigi did a great job taking care of our 2 cattle dogs! They are not an easy pair to handle. Tons of photos and videos and awesome stories about their brotherly antics.. we also have plants, LOTS of plants like around 200 house plants and Gigi helped us with those as well. We are thrilled with the service abd shall we go out of town for 21 days again she will be our first choice!”
“We loved having her watch our pups while we left town. Both our dogs warmed right up to her and felt totally comfortable. Thanks again Hailey and we'll definitely find you again for the next we have to leave without them!”
About: I’ve Worked with dogs all my life and love every minute of it! I am a dog groomer for my full time job, but do that from home. I worked as a daycare/trainer manager for three years and learned all about dog body language, correct ways to introduce, and learned how to prevent fights between any two dogs. I can administer any medication; pills, insulin, subQ fluids, etc. I have a fully fenced yard with a kiddie pool and shade in the summer and beds to relax in the sun in the winter. My house is fully dog proof! No carpet, dog door, and separate areas outside for different play styles and sizes of dogs. For sleeping arrangements each dog will have their own kennel. I also feed them in their own kennels to prevent any resource guarding or fighting over food. I DO USE KENNELS/CRATES for sleeping, eating, and unsupervised time. I have 3 very friendly dogs of my own that are very well behaved. When I’m not working, everyone gets to be free and have a great time!! I work from home, which means I’m here 98% of the time. I have dogs of my own so having others is just part of the lifestyle I chose and love. Dogs are introduced to other dogs slowly and based completely on their comfort level; some dogs are all go when meeting playmates, others aren’t sure so we take that in to account when your dog comes here. I always introduce them to my solid “demo dog” first to see how they’ll react, then go from there. I do not leave dogs out playing together unattended - if I have to leave then everyone goes in a kennel.
“Ashton did an amazing job watching our two pups for three nights! She sent updates and photos multiple times throughout each day so we knew they were being cared for and having a great time! We will definitely book with Ashton again!”
“We cannot thank Jaren enough for stepping in at the *last minute* to care for our three pups, Nari, Junior, and Yogi, over Memorial Day weekend! His kindness and flexibility were a lifesaver during a hectic time, and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in such capable hands. Jaren went above and beyond—not only did he shower the dogs with love and attention, but he even surprised us with a sample of fresh, homemade dog food! Our trio absolutely devoured it (no picky eaters here!), and it’s clear Jaren genuinely cares about their health and happiness. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pets like family (and throws in gourmet surprises!), Jaren is your go-to. **10/10 recommend**—we’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time we visit St. George!”
“Hannah is fantastic with our dogs. She stayed with them for two nights. They were happy to have a new playmate and snack dealer. I highly recommend Hannah and will use her services in the future.”
“Savannah did great house sitting and watching our senior dogs. They all were so happy when we got home. I could tell Savannah had kept our house clean and tidy while she stayed during our vacation and asked appropriate questions when necessary. She was awesome at following instructions. I would totally go to her again for any sitting needs!”
About: Hello, pet parents! 🐾 I’m a college student at Utah Tech University studying Biology, with the ultimate goal of becoming a veterinarian! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned numerous dogs and other pets, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your furry family members. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own. I currently have a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier, so I definitely know a thing or two about energetic, stubborn, and strong-personality dogs! 😂 Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m ready to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! 🐶🐾 I am currently attending college so my daily and weekly routine is very flexible with your pets needs! I am available most times of day and can’t be there to provide the best care whenever it is needed! I have had pets in my home ever since I was born! I have allways had 3 dogs running around the house causing a ruckus, and I know the challenges pets can bring. I am well prepared for it and would love to spend lots of time with your animals!
“Michelle went above and beyond for me. She made accommodations last minute, sent me pictures and updates. I was really nervous but after meeting with her she calmed my nerves and took care of my boy. Definitely would recommend her. Shes amazing!!!

“Taylor took care of our indoor/outdoor cats, our fish and our home for a week. They don't take a lot of maintenance, but was nice to know that someone was there when they needed her. She also left our home more clean than when we left!”

I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Since I have two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and time to feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently a student at Utah Tech, and have classes mainly on Monday and Wednesdays. I have lots of free time during the week to be able to help out with your dogs. I really enjoy being outside and getting exercise so I would love to be able to do that while helping out!

I am a strong communicator when it comes to making a plan and keeping a good relationship with the families I take care of.
About: I am very loving, nurturing and gentle to animals as well as your home and plants. I have had many clients and friends throughout the years ask me to help with their animals because animals love me. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Rabbits too. Horses a little. I love them, take care of them as my own. I’m currently working and seeing Rover as another opportunity to support me with extra income and support lovingly animals too. I am open to more spontaneous days and times than most people, yet also can do longer term, as long as my dog, if it’s over night, is allowed to come. I’m loyal, trustworthy, safe and reliable. Respectful and take good care of your animals and home. Depending on what your needs are, which can be discussed easily.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlynn – your pet’s new best friend! I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care. I’m not tied to a full-time job right now, so your pets will get lots of attention, walks, cuddles, and updates throughout the day. Whether you need someone reliable for daily drop-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here and fully present for your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone — and I don’t take that lightly. Your pets — and your home — treated with care and respect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 173 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gunlock. 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 Gunlock 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 Gunlock 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gunlock 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
