“Christina was awesome!! She did an excellent job! She communicated with me regularly with updates on how Amber was doing and pics. I will definitely use her again!”
“Sheli, went above and beyond to take care of my two Boxers pups on such a short notice. She house sat for 6 days and sent updates throughout the stay which made my vacation less stressful. Would 100 percent recommend for house/dog sitting, and would use her services again! Thank you again.”
“We were sooo happy with Chelsea.. She treats Bella as if she were her own!!! And Bella loves her ❤️🥰 She’s a pure gem and I will definitely use her again for sure!!! Thankyou Chelsea!”
“Veronica is a loving, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and experienced pet sitter. In addition, Veronica came through for us 5 days before we were going away for my Step-Sons wedding. Our original sitter had a family emergency so I looked on Rover and found Veronica. She immediately answered when I requested her as well as came over the very next day for a “Meet and Greet”. Upon meeting her we instantly felt comfortable with her staying at our house with our baby,Marlee,for the weekend. She took such good care of her! Marlee needs eye drops 2 times a day and Veronica had no problem administering them twice a day. She walked, feed and played with her all weekend! She kept us informed and sent pictures of Marlee too! We had peace of mind knowing our little love was in such good hands. We highly recommend Veronica to take care of your fur baby!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Gate
So happy & pleased that we selected Radiance to sit & stay with our pup in-house while we were away from our home for over 6 hours. From our meet & greet to the day of the event, Radiance remained in touch, ensuring we were in good hands! Upon our return, our highly energetic 1 year old pup was calm and relaxed, as a result of Radiance’s loving care and attention during our time away. If you’re looking for someone to walk or stay with your pup, we highly recommend Radiance as your first choice as she is professional, caring and very responsive! We are very happy we selected Radiance, as she will be our “go to” from here on in!
Sheli, went above and beyond to take care of my two Boxers pups on such a short notice. She house sat for 6 days and sent updates throughout the stay which made my vacation less stressful. Would 100 percent recommend for house/dog sitting, and would use her services again! Thank you again.

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 Ocean Gate 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 Ocean Gate 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 Ocean Gate 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!
