“Carmen was amazing with our furbabies! (Two of our dogs are shy and she won them over immediately). I loved receiving daily pictures and videos!! We came home to a clean home and happy animals! We will definitely be booking again!”
“I contacted Canija due to a no show from a previous sitter. I was out of town and needed immediate care for my dogs at home. She responded promptly and showed up at the agreed upon time. My dogs seemed to be well taken care of and my home was in the same state I left it in. She stayed in touch and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I will definitely use Canija again.”
“Hailey was able to stay with our pups for a few hours and it was perfect!! The dogs were happy and Hailey sent pictures to us while we were away. She will be my go-to person!! Can't wait to get away for a weekend ☺️.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have experience looking after both my own pets and those of family and friends. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. I provide a safe, loving environment and will treat your pup like one of my own, making sure they receive the attention, care, and comfort they deserve while you're away. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Morning outdoor time is available and plenty of time after 4pm. Your dog will enjoy a large, secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have two friendly pups who love making new friends, but your dog can also have one-on-one outdoor time if they prefer. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide treats (while following any allergy or dietary restrictions). To ensure your pet's routine stays consistent, I'll ask for their daily feeding instructions, medications (if applicable), and any other important information to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable during their stay.
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
“Brianna has been a great sitter both times she has cared for my little girl. She responded quickly whenever I checked in with her. She asked questions if she had any concerns or needed more information. I came back twice to a clean home and a happy dog. I certainly recommend her sitting services.”
“We could not have been more happy with Tammie taking care of our pups ! She did an amazing job. She always stayed in communication with us whether by sending updates via text or sending pictures and videos of our pups. It was also obvious that our pups developed a bond with Tammie. which is extra comforting. We truly knew that our pups were in the right hands and our pups knew also. We will definitely call on Tammie again. Thank you Tammie !”
About: I have taken care of different animals since I was very little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, bunnies and even a chinchilla. I’ll take care and love your animals like I do my own. I work a full time job but I can come early In the morning and around 5 in the evening . I try to be as flexible with your needs and wants for your animals. I have 2 cats who are polar opposites. One loves to snuggle and the other hides in our room like she’s a 16 year old teenager. We love them both as they are and cater to what each of them needs.
About: Since I was about 5 or 6 I have always had a dog and each day I cherished and loved them deeply. I would do the same for the dog my cousins had. Everyday when I would get off work I would go by just to see her dog. We played for hours and I treated her as if she was my own. There are some dogs that can be challenging just cause they don't know who you are and every dog has to trust you and they have to feel safe with you. I plan to do that with each dog I met. They deserve to be treated how any human being would want to be treated. Dogs are, hands down the best. I love dogs! Usually I’ll work from 6:30am-3:30pm on Monday-Friday. But I am very flexible. If you let me know on advance that you need care for your baby/babies I am more then willing to accommodate for you. Before work I always let them out and let them eat. My wife comes back home and will let them back out. I do come home most time for breaks to let them out and play. If I am not able then my wife will be there on her breaks and will allow the them to go outside. I’ll do playtime outside, but if it’s too hot then playtime will be inside. Plenty of space in the living room to run around. We have multiple things to do around whether inside or outside. Most times we will go done to the trial and play around out there. Whatever you or your baby needs I’m here to give.
About: I've taken care of my sisters dog many times also watched dogs for my mom's friend.I also worked with dogs at my school before so I've made sure to pay close attention. I just graduated high school. So I have a lot of availability to care for or walk your baby.I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need I don't have a fenced yard but I do make sure I pay close attention to your animals and I live in a safe neighborhood that's really quiet.
“Alexis was amazing. There are very few people who can handle three precocious pit bulls and a cat, but Alexis was able to do it with ease. I will definitely use her service again.”
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”

About: With 11 years of dedicated ownership, I offer a level of intuition and patience that only comes from a lifetime of love. I specialize in recognizing subtle health cues, managing unique temperaments, and providing the mature, reliable care your dog deserves. I don’t just watch dogs—I understand them. Pet care is the heart of my day, not just a task. My flexible schedule allows me to offer undivided attention during mid-day walks or late-night snuggles. I treat every visit as an opportunity to provide the consistency and companionship your dog craves, fitting seamlessly into our shared routine I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have a chair in the living room that is specifically for pups!
About: I'm all about consistency, structured, and love. You and your baby(ies) will feel secure with me. I'm very detailed and organized. I grew up in an old school 24hr home daycare for children. I feel fur babies should get that same attention, devotion and love. I also provide transportation for humans. 🐶 Pups who enjoy car rides travel with me for ride. For my pup parents, I also provide transportation to the airport for an additional fee. Pup parents are welcome to park their vehicle in my driveway. I create a place of peace for my fur babies. My home has a calm environment. Older pups who don't care to be bothered with other pups are separated. I make sure personal space is respected.
About: I have 5 years of dog/cat sitting. I absolutely love all animals. I grew up around all sorts of animals. We have a 2 years old Husky at home, who loves to go outside and run around with us. I would love to take care of your babies!! I’m currently a substitute teacher. With school coming to an end for this school year. I am looking for dog/cat sitting jobs throughout the summer. I’m very flexible. We have 3 acres of land, but I let our dogs out on a leash and we walk around for ten minutes. I can put your babies in crate if they are not potty trained yet.
About: I had 3 dogs during my childhood, and today I currently have 2 dogs that I care for while feeding them, playing with them, teaching tricks, and even bathtime is a riot, but fun. I enjoy walking the dogs on a daily basis, I get my exercise while they get a scenic view of the outside world. Playing inside and outside the house I enjoy teaching dogs tricks on how to sit, turn around lay down and crawl. Feeding the puppies and dogs making sure they have water and are well cared for. Spending time with them petting them, rubbing their stomachs and just having a grand ole time. What better way than to meet new friends, and gain trust with their dogs and have an enjoyable walks and awesome treats throughout their stay. Cant wait to hear from you all. :-)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Griffin
Canija was AMAZING. She stayed in my home for 6 days while I was on a work trip and took amazing care of my guy Greg the entire time. She sent multiple daily updates and photos and was super attentive to his needs. Greg is a large rescue and can be a handful but Canija made him feel comfortable and relaxed. My house was spotless when I came home and she even drove my passport over an hour to the airport when I had forgotten it at home. Overall AWESOME and will be booking her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Griffin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Griffin on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,031 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Griffin. 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 East Griffin 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 East Griffin 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 East Griffin 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.
