“Alex was super communicative, left our house as we left it, and was VERY caring w our pets. Usually our dog has big anxiety and depression when we leave but we came home to a happy and well taken care of boy! Cannot recommend enough and will be booking other dates w them in the future!”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Sweet and kind to our pups, respectful of our home and patient with our anxiety about leaving our pups. Super nice person who asked great questions about caring for our girls. We will definitely reach out to her again when needed to ask if she is willing/able to work with us. ❤️”
“Billie was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure Deuce was happy and had lots of attention. The house was picked up when we got home and she even made sure to grab our Mail and put it on the kitchen table. Billie did more than we asked her to. She even trimmed his nails! I can honestly say that Deuce is hoping we travel again soon so he can have his new friend watch him again. If you are in need of a sitter, I highly recommend Billie.”
“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”
About: Hi, I'm Raina! I love caring for dogs and cats and have years of experience, including with my late dog Coco, who lived to 15. I offer pet sitting at my home with a secure, fenced-in backyard, ensuring a safe and fun environment. I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care. You can trust that your pets will receive the same love and protection I gave to Coco, with plenty of photo updates to keep you connected. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am usually working from home so I will be available to care for your pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your pet company. I ensure top-notch care by carefully boarding pets that I believe will do well in my house. To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.
About: I'm great with multiple pets at a time. I also am great with training and maintaining expectations with rules you've already established. Please pick me! Weekends work best but I'm free the first weekend of May! I have relatively free weekends so that I can stay at your house and take care of your dogs. I can come to you! I will also provide daily pictures and updates of all the animals. Free play time, nap time, and everything in between!
“Evelyn is a super responsible home and pet sitter, our Golden girl Pennie just adores her! We are always able to enjoy our trip knowing our home and Golden girl is in very good hands <3”
About: I have trained puppies, designed programs to solve behavior problems in adult dogs, cared for senior dogs, specializing in multi-dog households with a mix of all the above. I am currently designing software for a start-up idea so my schedule is very flexible. Ideal hours for day visits are between 8am - 9pm, overnight from 7pm - 9am “ish” and always available for emergencies. Different pets have different wants/needs so I will adapt my gameplan accordingly. Each visit will include some form of exercise, training and lots of love. My yard is fenced and my house is puppy-proofed. Lots of soft and shaded places to nap, inside and out. I use pest control and landscaping services so the yard is virtually free of stinging or biting insects and dangerous weeds or flowers. Clients can expect me to care for their pets and their property with utmost respect for house rules, privacy and courtesy.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. From training puppies, to caring for older dogs who have needed round the clock medicine and care and everything in between. I have taken care of kittens/cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, you name your pet and I have probably come into contact with it at some point. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but life took me in other directions, so now I show my love and support for the animal community by helping people take care of their fur babies. I am currently working night shift 3 nights out of the week, but I could be available for walks or pet sitting any other time. My neighborhood is wonderful, I have plenty of nearby parks, as well as, a walking trail directly in my neighborhood. It is a very pet friendly place, with lots of other pets to interact with and also has a dog park. I usually only do healthy treats for training, but obviously will cater to whatever schedule or routine your animal needs.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.
About: I have over 12 years with pet care experiencing, including FFA, private families, shelters, and my own fur babies! I am a kind, compassionate, veteran who loves animals and am dedicated to making their care experience as easy (and fun!) as possible! I have experience with puppies to seniors, medical administration, and dogs with disabilities. I am a disabled veteran who currently does a lot of volunteer work - that being said I am available throughout the week and weekends with atleast 1 day notice :D I start care with making sure the necessities are taking care of, such as food, water, medicine, litter cleaned or potty break/walk. I then make sure the animal energy is matched through either play time, walks, relaxing (with pets!)!
“Audrey (and her friend Devin) were amazing! She was very flexible with arrival and departure times for our Moose, a 3 year old pup, who loved playing with her fur baby, Duke, as well! She was able to stop by our home twice before the dates we needed her for to meet her and her fur baby and they were both very sweet. Audrey updated me while I was away to ensure my dog was okay and also was very great with giving him plenty of love and attention all throughout the day! Moose was very tired the next day so I know she got plenty of play time and exercise in during her stay. We came home to a clean house that was exactly how we left it. Audrey was overall was very accomodating, sweet, trustworthy, and made it very easy for me to feel comfortable leaving my pup. Thank you Audrey and Devin! Moose can't wait to see you again next weekend ?”
About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.
About: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grafton. 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 Grafton 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 Grafton 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 Grafton 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.
