I will go above and beyond to take care of your loyal pets/family members! I am available on all weekends and evenings. I can do morning, lunch, and evening shifts. Weekends I am available all day long. Mornings and evening are more flexible I will definitely go above and beyond to make sure your best friends are well taken care of!

Me and my family were gone for the first time in 3 years and stayed 2 weeks out of state. While gone Anthony provided exceptional care to our dog and cat. I was updated daily on how they were doing on top of other things. I plan to use Anthony again in the future for all of my pet sitting needs. 10/10 recommend.

There is no other sitter that I would even consider watching my little teddy bear. She treats him like he’s her own. She’s phenomenal and I highly recommend her.

About: I keep water out all day so they are not thirsty. I feed my dogs once in the morning and then before bed. I take them put multiple times a day either to potty or play but they are always on the leash. I play with them inside also. I'm a big cuddler with pets if the animal will allow me haha. They are allowed on furniture bed or couch does not matter. My daughter is a big animal person too she loves both dogs and cats and will sit there and watch TV with them or even fall asleep on them haha. I have had 6 years of personal experience with animals they have not be consecutively but all together it has been 6 years. Im a stay at home mom so im pretty available aside from the random appointments. I have 3 kids that all love animals and always want to play with our own animals or help feed and water them. They want to be the ones to let them out to potty and feed them. I have a big fenced in yard for the dogs and kids to play and run in. They are allowed on furniture so we all cuddle up on the furniture. I also have some dog toys. I can offer a separate space for those dogs that want to me alone.

About: I have had experience with cats my whole life, dogs about half. I own two cats and have had them since I was born, but I have had friends and family with dogs along the years. I pet sit often for my Uncle and Aunt for their three dogs, and other family members for their dogs and or cats. I have plenty experience walking dogs, taking them outside, cleaning up after both animals (litter boxes or not), as well as both playing and feeding them! I am currently working part time, so I will have a decent amount of time to care for your pets! My timeframe does vary, but I am very punctual and flexible with my times. I am unavailable most every Sunday, but I will always let you know what works best for me so I can help you out! I love getting to know their personalities and sitting or playing with them, no matter how mellow or how excited! It is very important to me that I learn their boundaries and behaviors so I can give them my best care, like offering my hands out for them to smell or standing or sitting a certain distance away from them until they are comfortable with me.

About: First off, all money I make on boarding your family pets, go to my medical mission account, you help me raise money which goes toward serving others. I travel all over the world serving other by providing essential needed surgery. This year I am traveling to Gaulamala and Zambia. Thank you for trusting me with your family Pet and helping me serve others in the operating room. I was raised on a ranch, so I’ve been a lover of animals ever since I could remember. Now married to a wonderful man who loves that I love animals, I have all kinds. I have 5 Pygmy goats, 15 laying chickens where I enjoy fresh eggs daily, a very large tortoise that’s around 130 lbs, 3 dogs, and I think that’s it, don’t think I’m forgetting anyone. Being around all kinds of animals makes me happy. They are safe and cared for, and bring joy to my life every day. The difference between me and a lot of caregivers, is not the love of animals, because let’s face it, they wouldn’t be watching pets if they didn’t, but the property that I live on. I work 2 days a week outside of the home, I’m a surgical First Assistant in the OR, a passion for helping others. I also feel giving back is essential, so traveling on medical missions is rewarding. And the rest of the days are spend at home, taking care of our farm (zoo). We have 2 acres, and the entire property is fenced with electric gate. Plus additional fenced areas inside perimeter gate. All our animals have their own areas. Every pet is spoiled and cared for better then the humans who live here. I work outside the Home on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30am-12:00pm. I am a self-employed contact worker that makes my own schedule, so my schedule is very flexible. During most major holidays, I take off because there's so many people traveling, and such a high demand of quality pet care, its hard for people to find good help for their precious family members. Every animals no matter of size, or type, is treated like a family member of my own. I love all animals, and this is the very reason I do this. It is hard to find someone you trust to leave one of your own family members with, and I take that care and responsibility very seriously. During the holidays in November and December, I don't schedule myself away from home. So I’m here for your loved pet everyday all day long. our property is completely fenced, with electric gate that stays closed at all times. I also do not inter-mingle dogs until I know their personality and feel comfortable with them paying with other dogs. If they are here for a short time, then I may not get to know them well enough, and they will only play outside with me alone, or any family pets they come with.

About: First things first my name is pronounced On-Dree-uh like mitochondria. I love Jesus and am always looking for extra ways to raise funds for missions. I also serving families and helping care for your home and pets. I will leave your home better than I found it. If there are dishes in the sink, I will clean them. If they is a dirt on the floor, I will vacuum. I want you to rest assured that your home and animals are in good hands. I’ll love on your pups and do whatever you need. My goal is for you to not have a worry about anything and not think of what could go wrong. I want to be trustworthy and dependable. And I vow to play your piano each time I come through. I am an open book and will never lie to you. Hope you consider me as an option. I’m not currently working so I have lots of time and adaptability in my schedule. Anything I do is online for the most part so as long as I have wifi access I am set! I care for things as if God is watching and sees everything. Nothing in your home belongs to me and unless you give me permission to use something, it’s not available to me.

About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I work four days a week, and then have three day weekends. On the days that I work, I will spend all of the other time with the dogs I'm taking care of, and on days where I don't work, I might be out of the house for short appointments, but most of my time is spent at home. I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have my own dog, two cockatiel birds, and have previously owned two cats so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I also have past experience volunteering at Wayside Waifs, a large no kill animal shelter in the Kansas City area, where I volunteered for nearly 2 years. During my time there, I gained hands-on experience around dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. That experience helped me become more patient, attentive, and confident when caring for animals who may be shy, energetic, nervous, or still learning to trust new people. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I would love to care for your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own. My work schedule varies week to week, but I typically work daytime shifts as a barista and I am usually available after 6 PM for pet care services. I do my best to keep my availability updated so pet parents know exactly when I am available. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet attention and care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priority. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate needs, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive, patient, and careful with every pet I care for. I take safety seriously during visits, walks, and playtime. While I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of love, patience, and attention while you’re away.

If I were to describe Makenna in one word, it would be AWESOME. She was great and very accommodating with last minute requests and changes. She came at a time when my dog was recovering from minor surgery and was very attentive to his and my other dog's needs. Communication was excellent and responsive. She sent pictures to keep me updated on my two dogs, which was greatly appreciated. She was very responsible and very thorough. Looking forward to having her come over again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Gunn City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 389 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gunn City. 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 Gunn City 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 Gunn City 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 Gunn City 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 Gunn City. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
