Adriana was perfect. She handled Loki’s anxiety perfectly. She stayed in constant contact and sent many photos. We would definitely book her again. After her 10 day in home sitting we couldn’t even tell someone had been in the home as she left it emaculate. We feel she went above and beyond

Brendan did a good job taking care of our dogs, feeding them and giving meds. Stayed with them overnight. Very easy to talk with and dogs got attached to him very quickly. Would definitely use him again.

Taylor was incredible and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! She was responsive to messages from the start, was quick to confirm her availability and set up a meet & greet, and took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. She sent daily updates with pictures, which were so much fun to receive! We would absolutely hire Taylor again the next time we travel.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

Addy consistently went beyond expectation to take care of our dog while we were out of town. We got frequent updates and he settled right into his regular routine with her. She took wonderful care of our pet and our home and we will certainly plan to contact her again when needed.

About: My house has been full of pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three cats of my own, both indoor and outdoor, as well as several family members dogs, including Cocker Spaniels and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I was also fortunate enough to spend time around neighborhood dogs that became a big part of my childhood. Over the years, my family has cared for many cats. We currently have six indoor cats ranging in age from nine years to six months. Every one of them was taken in as a stray when they were less than a month old, and we raised them ourselves. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have spend years helping neighbors with their dogs. I have regularly babysat, boarded, and walked dogs of various breeds, including a Goldendoodle and a Jack Russell Terrier. Being surrounded by so many different animals has taught me how to adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and the experience I have gained caring for them has given me a deep appreciation for the responsibility, patients, and companionship that come with animal care. I am home for college for the summer (June-August), so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available to help out at you and your pets convince. I have a secluded backyard along with a large, walkable neighborhood and fields and trails within walking distance. There are cats inside the house and dogs in neighboring yards. I am happy to provide your dog with its own, cat-free room if it's preferred.

Those people who trust me with their fur babies are not only appreciative but relieved to know Fido is in the loving care of a mature, responsible person I am retired but active with sports officiating, hiking, and staying fit. My schedule is totally flexible to meet any pet owner's needs. Your dog's needs are my priority. I am available to keep your dog as comfortable as you wish with walks, play, and mere companionship. I am available for overnight stays in the comfort of your dog's home, if desired.

Brianne did an amazing job taking care of our home and pets. We have a dog and 3 cats which one of them is elderly and high maintenance. We also had an unplanned house issue that she handled quickly and professionally. She communicated, sent pics and asked appropriate questions. We came home to everything in order. It’s hard leaving your pets/home in the hands of someone you don’t know, I will definitely use Brianne again!

I hired Jada to stay in my home overnight with my 2 year old golden retriever, Pumpkin. She was prompt, communicative and most importantly, gave my seeet girl lots of love and attention while we were gone. I found my home immaculate upon returning home—it seemed cleaner than when we left. I will use Jada again and reccomend her to anyone looking to have care in their home.

About: Hi! My name is Jaya, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant, giving me hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I’ve been caring for and pet sitting animals since I was 12 years old, and I truly treat every pet like they are my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, medication, feeding, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With my veterinary experience and lifelong passion for animals, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I am currently working Mondays-Thursdays with lunch breaks around 12-1 P.M. I am able to do overnights on days I work and check in for potty breaks and some play time on my lunch on these days. Otherwise I have open availability! :) When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. As a Veterinary Assistant with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and years of experience caring for animals, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and making sure pets are safe and well cared for. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would give my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their furry family members are happy and in good hands!

Ella was fantastic with Mazie! She was incredibly patient with my puppy’s quirks and energetic behavior. She sent ample pictures and socialized Mazie with her dogs. Ella spent lots of quality time with Mazie and gave her lots of attention and affection in my absence. I highly recommend Ella and hope to use her services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gurn Spring

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Gurn Spring on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gurn Spring. 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 Gurn Spring 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 Gurn Spring 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 Gurn Spring 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 Gurn Spring. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
