“This was my first time using Rover and Sarah was an amazing pet/house sitter! She was very attentive to detail and did a great job keeping my cat's routine. She also provided thorough updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in the best care while away. Sarah truly went above and beyond in every way! I absolutely recommend her and would book with Sarah again in the future!”
“I felt reassured going out of town leaving the dogs in Steffanie’s care. She checked in with me regularly, took great care of the dogs, and sent photos of them out and about each day.”
“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
“Misty is fabulous. She did two overnight house-sitting visits with our kitty. Excellent communicator, sent pics and updates. Came home to a clean house and happy kitty. Highly recommend.”
“Genesis was fantastic. We needed a dog sitter last minute and she was quick to respond. Our pups were well taken care of and she did a great job communicating to us on how things were going while we were gone! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Michelle was amazing. She took plenty of pictures for me. She made sure to ask questions if she was unsure of something. The house was left clean and vacuumed! All my babies were taken care of!”
“Mehlayne was amazing, she was patient with me and my girls 🐶🐶 I had a peaceful mini vacation thanks to Mehlayne. She is pontual has integrity and she is true to her word. Definitely recommend her services and we will be using her services again.”
“Christopher was amazing. Took great care of the dogs and our home. Communication was great and was very flexible should our travel plans become delayed. Would 100% reach out again and recommend anyone else do the same.”
“I would give Julie more than 5 stars if that was possible. This was my first time using Rover and my experience could not have been better. Julie made me feel comfortable letting a stranger (feels like a friend already) into my home, she sent photos and updates, and left the sweetest card and gift for when I got back home. MY ONLY REGRET was not fining Julie sooner! Book her and you won’t regret it. I now found my go to person for all dog watching needs.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every animal I care for. While I may not have professional experience yet, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their home environment. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and behavior, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of love, playtime, and patience. I’m also comfortable with both high-energy dogs and more relaxed or senior pets, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own pets every day. I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, and giving pets attention and playtime throughout the day. I make time in my routine to ensure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening. Providing reliable and loving care is something I prioritize in my schedule. I provide pet care in my client’s home by keeping pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their normal routines for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, walks, and any special instructions they provide. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and preferences to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
“Jessie was amazing. She took such great care of all 3 of our dogs and sent updates/pictures every time she went over to care for our dogs. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Haylee is responsive and nice! She sent us pictures when she arrived and took good care in my pet! She gave the medicine as directed and left notes about my pets in the past day( including how he’s been eating and taking medication). Haylee spent a night over to take care my pet and kept the house very clean, too!”
“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”
“Crystal was amazing with Harley. She provided daily updates with photos and many with videos. She's very attentive... checked the mail, noticed an active hornets nest at the back of my complex and reported it to staff, and left my place nice and neat at the end of her stay... even washed the bedding! I will definitely be reaching out to Crystal again for pet/ house sitting, again. 10/10 Recommend 😊”

Michelle did a fabulous job watching my 3 girls and the house while we were away for the week. She did an excellent job keeping me posted each day on how the girls were doing, including pictures, as well as tidying the house. We will definitely use Michelle again in the future.
Erin is very sweet. Our pets warmed up to her quickly, they know a nice person when they meet one. She is very responsive to communication and sends pics. I leave a ton of info about pets and she was very accommodating to all my pet suggestions :) Feel fortunate to have connected with Erin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Golden Grove on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 981 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden 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 Golden Grove. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
