About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I could remember. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over my own dog, and then it lead me into walking my neighbors dogs and eventually I took it upon myself to walk others in the neighborhood. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply this for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business. Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch an unapproachable vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort and confidence with the dogs I will work with, considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they are able to do their business enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally. To do what needs to be done to make sure our pups are well taken care of! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.

About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was a child. I have always loved dogs and cats and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I studied Veterinary Assistant in my home country and worked for one year at a veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to care for animals, pay attention to their behavior, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I currently have a 2-year-old rabbit and a 3-year-old turtle, so caring for animals is an important part of my everyday life. I have a pet in Colombia whom I miss very much, and spending time with animals here brings me a lot of happiness. This is one of the reasons I decided to join Rover. I would love to spend more time with animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away. 🐶🐱🐰❤️ I currently work from 7 AM to 4 PM, so I am available for pet care before or after work depending on the service and location. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I have much more flexibility and can spend the whole day with your pet. I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions about feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also keep their space clean and organized. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their family is away. I want them to feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and had 4 dogs at a time for most of that. I’m experienced with senior dogs as well as puppy training. I train dogs with maximum positive reinforcement. My dog/assistant grew up with elderly yorkies and is eager to lend a paw. I’m a freelance motion designer, part time e-learning professor and I work from home on my own schedule. My dog goes on at least 5 walks per day, with poops after meals. Doggy breakfast is at 7:30, dinner at 5:30. For boarded dogs my building is very dog friendly with a fenced courtyard. There are 2 dog parks within a 5 minute walk and several

About: I grew up loving and surrounded by animals, and learned how to care for them at a young age. I have acted as a dog/cat/fish/plant/house sitter to friends and family in addition to caring about my own pets since I was eleven. I am continuous dog/cat/house sitter for a family of two large, somewhat chaotic, lovable huskies and two cats, that hire me multiple times a year to care for their pets and their home for several days and up to a week at a time, so I have extensive experience with maintaining the care of multiple animals and being entrusted with keeping a home safe simultaneously. While my current circumstances/lifestyle, don’t allow me to have a pet of my own, I jump at every opportunity to express that love and care for the animals of others. I stop and say hi to almost every dog I meet and I love to walk dogs from the shelter in my spare time. I have incredible memory, attention to details, and am very thoughtful and caring, so you can always trust that I will go above and beyond in caring for your beloved pets and home. I’m currently working from home most of the week, so I have flexibility and time to walk your pups, care for your cat, or housesit for you! I love to walk, and am typically very flexible in the mornings and evenings. Like humans, each dog has a personality and needs of its own. I make sure to get to know your pup and cater to their needs :)

I have watched my best friends new puppy quite a bit and took care of my family dog Marni when she was a puppy. I will love your doggie like they are my own and play with them until they tire out. Animals are the best. I work in midtown manhattan a 9-5 M-F but it’s pretty lenient. I’m off weekends and totally free for your pets! I can leave work to go check on your pet whenever as well. I play with them, rub their belly, feed them, take them on walks. I enjoy spending times with dogs and will do mostly everything with them if I can.

We hired Paris to stay over and watch our dog, Helado, for two nights while we got married, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We thought that leaving our dog behind for the first time and on a day this big would be stressful, but Paris made it easy. We got updates, Helado was happy and relaxed, and we came home to a calm, comfortable dog and a tidy apartment. Paris is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which meant we could be fully present at our wedding. We'll absolutely be booking Paris again and recommend them without hesitation!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natasha! She took such incredible care of my two babies, Xena and Luna, while I was traveling in France, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of my absolute favorite things was how many photos she sent throughout each day! I loved getting those little glimpses into their daily adventures. It made me so happy to see them enjoying themselves and gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. You can tell Natasha genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that means everything to me. What really sets Natasha apart is her willingness to go above and beyond. She even took care of a PetSmart return for me while I was away! That was certainly not something I expected, but it speaks volumes about how thoughtful, helpful, and accommodating she is. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pets is priceless, and Natasha is exactly that person. She made it possible for me to enjoy my time in France without a single worry about my babies back home. Natasha, thank you for treating Xena and Luna with so much love and care, for all the wonderful photo updates, and for being such an absolute gem! I would recommend you a thousand times over, and I will absolutely be booking with you again! ❤️🐾

Also very open to taking my high energy dog on long hour walks which was appreciated!

FAQs for House Sitting - Guttenberg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Guttenberg is $89 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $107 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 19,221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Guttenberg. 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 Guttenberg 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 Guttenberg 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 Guttenberg 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.
