“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.”
“Michelle did an outstanding job taking care of not only my pet but my home. Would recommend and will be contacting her again to take care of my dog which I believe is the highest compliment. Thanks, Michelle!”
“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”
About: I grew up having pets all my life, and after high school started doing pet sitting occasionally. My pets have ranged from a Jacksons Chameleon, a few farm animals, and of course, dogs and cats! Two of my current animals are special needs, one with only 3 legs and one with a seizure disorder, so I’m well versed in animals that need a little *extra* care! I currently work part time as a nanny, so I have more than enough time for drop-ins to take care of your pets and give them all the love, cuddles, and treats they may need! I care for pets in YOUR home and treat it as if you’re one of my nanny clients. I’ll follow your pets daily routine when it comes to food, walks, meds, etc and leave enough time for cuddles as well making sure the house is left clean from any pet accidents or pet messes.
“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!”
“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!”
“She helped us out with a last minute house sitting request - was on time, communicated well with text and pictures, and our Coda took to her instantly which made us very happy. Will definitely hire Karlie again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He was professional and kind. When we did our meet and greet my dogs were in love with him from the get go. He went above and beyond while looking after them. He sent me numerous pictures, took them on long walks (even though he didn’t have to) and let me know when one of my dogs meds was starting to run low. Chris is a rockstar and I am looking forward to working with him in the future”
“Julie is wonderful- excellent, positive communication; and my pets all loved her! My dog is selective and tends toward anxious: she liked Julie right away. My cat who needs meds twice a day is famous for eluding most cat sitters who dare try to medicate her - she took her meds from Julie. And my escape artist cat who had (or course) Houdini'd his way out of the house right before we left for our trip, came back in the house in voluntarily for Julie! We will definitely be seeking Julie's services every time we need a great petsitter.”
“Mehlayne did a wonderful job of caring for our sweet old Roxy. Our pup is 16 years old, has medical needs such as breathing treatments and medication administration and she even took Roxy to the Vet 4 times for routine fluid administration. While we are away for our 13 day vacation to Alaska, she sent daily pictures of our sweet little girl and messages regarding her day. Considering that Roxy had never been apart from us for more than 3 days, we were very pleased when we returned and she was in excellent health and eating very well, which could be a challenge at times. I could tell from the beginning that they were a good fit, especially since Melanie has a very elderly dog herself. We will be happy to book her again if needed and recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to care for their pup.”
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.
“Crystal watched my dog for a couple days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent me updates. She followed all my instructions as my dog is older and has some special needs. I had a flight delay and she even offered to come back to take him out. I can tell she loves animals. I would book her again.”
About: I've taken care of furbabies for over 20 years now. Dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits. My neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to care for their furbaby family members by not only walking and feeding their family member, but boarding, washing and grooming, and lots of fun playtime. I've been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids for emergency needs. I'm knowledgeable in surgery recovery as well. I will care for, and love, your family member just as I do mine. They will be pampered and cherished! I am a homemaker, looking for a bit of extra money, and an enjoyable job. I have flexible hours to help anyone with their pets. I am responsible, courteous, punctual, and a very loving person, and cat owner. I love all animals, and would love to help you out. Ask me questions if you'd like to know more about me. Please consider me for your pet care needs! I am a very careful, and respectful person. I will adhere to any instructions for your pet. I have two available bedrooms that I can make available to your pet when needed during their stay. Crate trained pets are a plus, but not a must. I have been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids in case of an emergency. I've given them to ferrets, and cats of my own. I'm reliable, and always on time.
“Lee was awesome! He went above and beyond, and did such a great job. He communicated well, sent lots of pictures and videos, and my pups loved him. I highly recommend him, and would absolutely use him again!”
“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!”
“Christine was so nice to come to my house last minute early in the morning when my boyfriend had to go to work suddenly and couldn’t watch my dog which my doodle while I was on vacation for my birthday. She was patient with him provided fast response. I’ll forever use her services”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful. Took such great care of our pup and the house looks better than when we left. She sent us daily photos and updates. Truly made our trip less stressful knowing our pup was in good hands.”
“My dogs love Amber! When I return from a trip, they are calm and relaxed. Well...except for a little attitude from Zoe....but that is short lived. Amber will continue to take care of my dogs in the future, when she is available. I suggest booking as soon as your plans are set.”

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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
