“This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, and Stacie went above and beyond anything we could have imagined! One of our dogs has extreme anxiety, so we honestly never thought using a pet sitter would work for us. However, the family member who usually watches our pets wasn't able to this time due to health reasons, and as you can imagine, we were pretty anxious about leaving them while we went on vacation for a week. Then came Stacie! She was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of our pups and kept in regular communication with us throughout the week, sending pictures and updates that gave us so much peace of mind. She handled our anxious pup wonderfully, which meant more to us than I can say. She even fed and gave some extra snuggles to my daughter's two guinea pigs, which was such a wonderful bonus! I truly cannot say enough good things about Stacie. Being able to enjoy our vacation without constantly worrying about our pets was priceless. We will 100% be using her again for future vacations or even drop-in visits, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. Thank you, Stacie! ❤️”

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds and have had experience with larger breeds as well. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I treat every dog with love, respect Baths are available upon request for $15. I work full\-time Monday through Friday from 6:45 AM to 3:15 PM\. However, I’m available for weekday overnight house sitting, as well as drop\-ins and walks after work hours\. I’m also available on Wednesdays and Thursdays after 5:00 PM\. I can provide care before and after work and am happy to spend evenings and nights with your pets, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I care for every pet as if they were my own and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles, while making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need medications or extra attention. I keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away.

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner to my Miniature Poodle, Milo, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming basics, and keeping a consistent routine. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I’m very reliable with schedules and instructions. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they are well cared for like my own. I am available daily. I feed my dog in the morning and at night. I’ll have to ensure that no dogs fights over foods. I’ll have to put one of the dog in bathroom and another dog can eat in a room until foods are done. They can be switched. I have a yard and I can put them in crate if needed. I’ll make sure everything goes well and safe. I ensure that pets have a safe, clean space to play, rest, and eat. I follow any specific instructions from the pet parent, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise needs. I supervise pets closely, making sure they’re never left in unsafe situations, and I provide plenty of love, attention, and mental stimulation.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. I always find the animal in the room and have gained a lot of knowledge over the years!! I have a Yorkie and a Golden Retriever myself. I trained my golden retriever myself as well. I’m currently a senior in college with a light schedule. I have a lot of gaps during my days. I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (most often). I have enough knowledge to know what a pet needs in any moment. I will be able to keep an eye on them at all times. I am able to adjust to anything that a specific owner is more comfortable with.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since i was 8 years old. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and eventually I did. I worked at Verona street animal shelter and helped not only dogs but cats,bunnies,turtles,hamsters and more. I’ve dealt with really aggressive dogs and really scared/hurt dogs so i have knowledge on both.I took care of the dogs, trained, groomed, snuggled and loved on each and every dog of every kind. I am currently working full time at the moment so boarding will have to be on the weekends. But during the week there will be times i have a day off and sometimes there won’t but i will be able to have a couple hours to snuggle your fur baby :) Caring for the fur babies in their home i just follow the schedule and routine they have and snuggle up with them and play. In my home i have a 4 year old who loves animals as much as me and enjoys having fun, going for walkies and snuggling up by our electric fireplace.

“Would 100% book again with Kaitlin. She was extremely professional, honest, reasonable, and most importantly LOVED my dog as if he was her own. She offers fantastic dog care, she was very caring and attentive to our pup. Kaitlin stayed in touch with us daily via text and phone. She sent daily photos of what our dog was doing. She not only took care of our dog, but she took care of our home as well. She left it exactly how we left it. Can't wait for Kaitlin to watch Tino again!!”

About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have enjoyed caring for the dogs of family and friends over the years. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and compassionate. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I enjoy providing plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time registered nurse at a hospital and work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability on my days off and weekends. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to accommodate different schedules and pet-care needs. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or overnight boarding, I’m open to working with you to find what works best! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex that welcomes animals, and I currently don’t have any pets of my own. This allows me to provide a comfortable, calm environment with plenty of space and attention for your furry friend. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, provide updates and photos, and accommodate their individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.

Bethany and Alex are absolutely amazing pet sitters! We have a large, furry family with three dogs ranging from extra-large to small, plus two very moody Maine Coon cats, each with their own very unique personalities. 😆 They are incredibly attentive, caring, and patient with all of our girls. They take the time to understand each of their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which gives us so much peace of mind whenever we’re away. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our girls! We also love how wonderful they are about keeping us updated throughout their stay. The regular photos, videos, and messages showing us how everyone is doing make being away so much easier. Bethany and Alex are dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely love the animals they care for. We are so grateful to have found them and couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back again!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Gates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in North Gates is $95 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $105 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 November 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Gates. 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 North Gates 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 North Gates 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 North Gates 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 with handling special pet needs in North Gates. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
