“We will definitely be hoping that Ryan is available the next time we need someone to stay! Everything went great. Animals loved him, great communication. Could not have gone better. Thank you so much Ryan!”
About: I've taken care of animals who needed insulin twice a day, I grew up taking care of the cat who gave birth in my apartment and I've always had an animal in my life, they deserve all the vacay time you get! I currently am studying to work from home and I do most of my studying online, if you have wifi or a little cafe close to home I can give your pet(s) all the care they need! I've been with crated animals as well as animals who have their own bed they sleep in every night I'm used to routine and am good at adapting to their schedule!
“Svetlana was great with our 3 pugs. She sent pics and video while we were out, which really put us at ease since this was our first time working with her. She stayed at our home to watch our babies and she left the house just as it was when she arrived. During the meet and greet, all 3 dogs went straight to Svetlana without hesitation. One of our pugs is more skittish around strangers, so this was a great sign to start. They all seemed to love her right away, and still seemed to when we returned from our vacation. She even brought in and secured some packages that we forgot were arriving during our vacation. We'll definitely be working with Svetlana again in the near future.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Becky in charge of our 2 dogs (one elderly who needs meds daily), 2 cats, 21 chickens and turkeys, and horse. The house looked lovely when we returned and the animals seemed comfortable and content. We will definitely ask her for farm sit again!”
“Shelly was able to accommodate a last minute booking and her help was greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable having her stay in our home for the weekend and she sent picture updates of the doggos. We would book Shelly again!”
“My animals are my life. Leaving them in the care of someone else is never something I take lightly. When my sister was unable to house/pet sit while I was gone I was extremely nervous. But scrolling through Rover I found Paloma who I had actually met a while back. I reached out and she said she’d be happy to do it and I felt immediately at ease. More at ease than when my sister watches my pets lol. She definitely took great care of my animals and house while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates, she followed instructions. I really felt like she took care of them like they were her own. She even watered my tiny pumpkin patch for me. I arrived back home to happy cared for pets. Thank you Paloma!!!”
About: I got my first dog 8 years ago and since then have realized how amazing they truly are. I’m here to help busy pet parents! I currently work as a paramedic full on 48 hour shifts, which allows me to have most of the week to take care of pets! I’m very aware and sensitive to each pets needs and will be happy to help with whatever is required for your animals comfort and safety.
“Spencer was awesome! He did a three night overstay at our home and watched our 6 dogs. He sent daily picture and message updates, asked all the right questions, and the house was spotless!! Very friendly, professional and absolutely will be working with Spencer going forward. HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Taylor was fantastic in every way - took care of our home and two young (and usually very shy) dogs and won them over in the first few hours. She handled a regimented medicine schedule with one of our pups flawlessly, and could not have been more communicative or accommodating. This was our first use of Rover and would recommend her to anyone - above and beyond”
About: I have been a dog owner myself. I had 10 great years with my cattle dog named Magenta. She was an explorer and adventurer by my side. I am a counselor, nature lover, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I am also an artist, writer, and traveler. I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me to pet sit part time and enjoy connecting with pets. I grew up in Montana and Wyoming, spent time in Spain, Costa Rica, Colorado, and more. I am grateful to be living close to the mountains. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work from home as a counselor and spend a lot of time with the pups I love getting out for walks to break up the day, and caring for your pets is top of mind. As each situation varies a bit, the prices may not be exactly accurate when quoted. Please inquire. I am available to pet and house sit in your home. I have 15 years of experience pet and house sitting, and treat your space with the same level of cleanliness, care, and respect as I would my own. I am clean and tidy and will leave your home the way I find it.
“Jessica was great with our two pups! She followed all instructions including feeding and meds, and the house was left immaculately. I would definitely have her babysit again.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about Savanah! She was such a good friend to our pups that they forgot to miss us. Savanah sent tons of update and pics so we got to enjoy our trip and not worry about things at home. Hope to book her again and again and again.”
“I've had some previous issues and concerns with house sitters, and let me tell you, Colleen completely restored my faith in people. She was very polite and attentive during our initial meeting, and truly showed her passion for pets. During the stay, she kept me posted with timely updates proactively, to ease my mind before I even needed to check-in. Upon my return, I found a spotless house (really, she left it better than I had left it for her), and most importantly, a super happy pup. I won't hesitate to have her over again, and you shouldn't either!”
“Sarah is absolutely terrific! She is very attentive and plays with our two dogs daily when she took care of them. After we returned from our week long trip, the house was clean and the dogs were very mellow indicating they had a good time with her stay. The dogs really liked her. Sara is A+. We plan to have her watch our dogs often when we travel.”
“Mel was great! Punctual, communicated well and took excellent care of Birdie and my home while I was out of town for a couple days. Would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter!”
“Bri is amazing! She watched pup for a little over a week and provided lots of updates and pictures. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Will definitely use her services in the future. Highly recommend!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Cedar Grove is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $75 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Cedar 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 Cedar 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 Cedar 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 , 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. 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.
