“Debra was great- communicated frequently while she took care of our fur babies. Sent pictures and left the house cleaner then when we left! I’ve already asked her to help us out again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Candace was fantastic with our two crazy dogs! They took to her right away at the meet and greet, which put our minds at ease. She watched them for 12 hours while we were at a family event, and they were happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time. It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle high-energy pups. We'll definitely be booking Candace again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
About: I have had experience with all types of animals my entire life i grew up taking care of my dog widget since i was 7 me and my dog would go to pet training class as well. As my dog had gotten older me and my family had changed our routine and home life to accommodate to my best buds last days so he would be comfortable. I also grew up pet sitting for my aunt and still do.I have owned cats and dogs as well as some smaller rodents. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule because i currently don’t have work and i am studying to become a tattoo artist my day consists of drawing and studying tattooing. i love to drive around so far drives to pet sit will not bother me what so ever!! I make sure to give your pets a stress free environment and give them cuddles depending on your animals personality!! I always make sure your friends are fed on time and taken on adventures with me on a walk and take them out to potty.
“With Rita watching our boys overnight while we were out of town, we’ve never been so stress-free about leaving them home! And they may have had a better vacation than we did! ❤️ We would rebook Rita anytime.”
“Shae did an amazing job with my fur babies. Made me feel at ease while I was on vacation with the daily pictures... Would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be using her services again... Thank You So Much Shae... Until next time 🐶😼😁”
About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I am currently pursuing my education to become a Small and Large Animal Veterinarian and specialize in Animal Psychology and Internal Medicine/Oncology. Through my experience, I have developed strong knowledge and skills in pet training, dog walking, proper nutrition and feeding, and medication administration. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Saturday from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for my pet care clients. I keep my Rover calendar up to date to accurately reflect my availability, though occasional changes may arise. If you don't see the dates or times you need, I encourage you to reach out anyway—I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide exceptional care for your furry family member! I do not offer in-home boarding, but I am happy to provide care in your home. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When possible, I am available for extended stays, which can provide added consistency for your pet’s care and fit well with my schedule. I also recommend that clients leave detailed care instructions, as every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences.
“I have a Rottweiler and anyone with a big dog knows how hard it is to find a sitter. Kerri does an amazing job with him. She is an incredible house guest. I appreciate the love she has for my buddy. Knowing he is with someone that loves him allows me to enjoy my vacations, worry free.”
“We have always had family watch our dogs, so I was very apprehensive allowing a stranger to stay in our home, but Ronny was exactly who we needed this weekend to watch my two boxers. With one being a senior and one an 11 month old, they have very different needs. Ronny got to know them both individually and how they play together, and was patient enough to take the puppy on a few walks! I only asked for one walk a day for the older one, but he walked BOTH of them several times a day! The videos, pictures, descriptions of what they were doing and how they were acting was more than I asked for, and so appreciated this busy weekend. I was able to relax and focus on the wedding of my only child and knew my fur babies were having a wonderful stay-cation at home with Ronny! I'm surprised they were excited to see me and my husband walk through the door today, because I'm pretty sure they were hoping for fun "Uncle Ronny" instead! I would 100% recommend Ronny for a multiple dog, large breed house stay. He cleaned up and left no trace he had been here...not even trash in the trashcan! He even brought in a large wedding gift that was delivered in our absence & rolled in our trashcans from pick up! He went above and beyond and I can't recommend him enough!!”

“Thank you Leilani for keeping my furbabies company while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again. Will be looking for you again when we plan our next vacation.”
“Ashley does a great job with our 4 dogs. When they see her coming they are so happy. I don't have to worry about them while I am gone. She sends pictures and updates. She feeds them including any.medical needs my.dogs have. She keeps our house clean(cleaner than when we left!) I would highly recommend her as my.dogs are well taken care of and she.is trustworthy. I appreciate all the.love she shows our dogs while we are away!”
“This was the first time hiring Melisha for a multiple day/night stay, and we’re checking the calendar to figure out when to hire her next. Updates and pictures provided regularly. The 2 dogs and cat couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Even with a bit of a ruckus with the 2 huskies hanging up on the poor cat, Melisha was calm, cool and collected. I can’t come up with more words of praise for all that she did in the care of our 3 pets. She’s going to be tired of seeing our name pop up in her notifications. :)”
“Max saved us after multiple other sitters ghosted or even stood me up for a meet and greet! He did fantastic with our dog. He was immediate comfortable with him. He left our house spotless and is overall a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Delaney watched my dog, Roxie, while we went away for about five days. She did a great job in communicating. Roxie was well taken care of, was happy and had a full bowl of water when we got home. I will definitely ask Delaney to watch my dog again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blooming Grove on Rover is $47.08 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 1,049 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blooming Grove. 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 Blooming Grove 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 Blooming Grove 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 Blooming Grove 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 Blooming Grove. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
