“Olivia is a conscientious, clean, no issues caretaker for our doggies. She adapted to the different habits of the dogs and happily accepted their different quirks. We heartily recommend her to anyone needing overnight/stay in help.”
“Grace was amazing! She communicated with us and sent pictures during our time away. Our dogs were very well cared for and were exhausted when we arrived home. Would 100% use Grace again! First Rover user and I couldn’t have been more impressed with everything!”
“Moriah took amazing care of our little girl! She sent pictures and videos, and kept us updated. It’s clear that Moriah loves animals and takes time to get to know their needs and quirks. We would definitely book with Moriah again - thank you!”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“I really can't say enough about April!! She sent me daily photos and updates. I hate having to leave our puppy, but never worried once that he was in good hands!! I will check her availability first before even planning time away! Thank you so much again April!!”
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters in WA and worked alongside animal behavioralists to read canine and feline body language to gauge interests, anxiety, and pain levels. I love being able to help my client’s animals reach relaxation without being over stimulated. I’m versed in enrichment activities that alleviate stress and help the animals reconnect with their playful, trusting side! I love to make animals feel like they have a new trusted friend while their pet parents are away and to provide care that makes their owners feel like they're with family. (Disclaimer: I have a full time job working graveyard. Please keep this in consideration if you're looking to book in-home overnight pet-sitting. Thank you! Feel free to message me questions.) I live near Hanover and have reliable transportation. I have no conflicting agenda items or holidays in the near future. I do gig work to help support my best friend going to Dartmouth and have a flexible, open schedule. I try my best to plan outings with pets when the weather is best for their paws and especially if the dog is a breed prone to heat or breathing issues. I have had animals all my life of various breeds, ages, temperament, and unique needs. I have knowledge and experience through my animal shelter work on what silent pain signals or distress can look like in dogs and cats. I've administered medications before but would prefer to let the animal get to know me before providing injections. My preference is to have a meet and greet with your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled outing so they may acclimate to me and to have a brief in-person discussion to go over the scope of the service you wish to see.
“Rae is absolutely amazing! We love our dog dearly, but he can be a real handful—high energy, impulsive, and incredibly excitable, especially around new people. Before we even left, Rae had him calmly resting at her feet while she worked on her laptop. She somehow tuned into his personality right away, and even taught him a few new tricks! Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and it was clear she truly understood him in a way that was both insightful and observant. Rae is a true dog whisperer! We’ve never felt as at ease leaving him with someone as we did with her. On a scale of 1 to 10, Rae is an 11. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: Dogs bring such joy! I believe they are gifts and we are lucky to have them in our lives. We currently have a spoiled Australian Shepherd. I have learned so much as an Aussie mom, and love sharing helpful info with other dog parents, especially if they have a herding breed. I love all dogs, no exceptions! They deserve to be spoiled and appreciated for who they are. I offer pet care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I also have my own pet care insurance, and am pet CPR and First Aid certified. I work full time in the upper valley and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home several days a week. If you have WiFi, I’m happy to work from your home to accommodate full-time snuggles and care for your pet while you’re away! I believe that dogs are part of the family. I love spending time with them, walking with them and helping them to socialize. They are gifts!
“Tim was a very professional and helpful young man. One of our dogs is very shy with new people. Tim made it a special point to make Albert feel comfortable. I was completely satisfied with Tim. I was very confident in leaving him with our boys. We had no hesitation with having Tim as a guest in our home. I highly recommend this young gentleman.”
“Hailey what a perfect and wonderful Pet Sitter for Kiki, my Doberman Shepherd, who is high energy and three years old.. She stayed overnight three nights and took great care of the house and the dog… she communicated with me all the time and sent me lots of great pictures of Kiki who has separation anxiety, but really well. Thank you, Haley!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with a cat and two labs, so caring for both cats and dogs feels very natural to me. I’m used to everything from playtime and walks to quiet companionship, and I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at UConn! My schedule and course load is fairly light so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty needs, medication if needed, and playtime. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean and secure. I always respect the pet’s habits and personality and aim to keep things as stress-free as possible.
About: Animal lover since a kid, started pet sitting when I was 10. I have experience with all breeds growing up I worked in my aunts dog kennel and grooming business. We have dog bedrooms instead of kennels, dogs get plenty of space. House boarding details* I have 45 acres set off the road, safe!! Also swimming access for the dogs! Making sure your dog is as comfortable as they are at home! Extremely active spending most of the day outside! Enjoy hiking, fresh air and playing with the dogs. Schedule is extremely flexible to fit to your needs 40+ Acres set off the road, along a nice pond and 25ft of fenced in dog area with a dog house if dogs need to be in a fenced area. I usually have my dogs off leash at the house because it’s such a large open space and we are outside most of the time! Will take leashed dogs if preferred** Lots of space inside and outside for dogs to enjoy
“We are incredibly grateful for the amazing care Jackie provided for our Bernese mountain dog Zeus. Stepping in on short notice and staying at our home was a huge help, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jackie is reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. We would absolutely book with Jackie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Zeus!”
“We would absolutely recommend Nicole! She dog-sat in our house for our two large dogs while we were away, and it was seamless. She is very attentive to the particular needs and personalities of each dog, and the dogs bonded with her right away. She was also very easy to communicate with both during the days leading up to our trip and when we were away. All in all, we could not have been more pleased with everything!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I had my own since I had my own place. I had a Siberian Husky and a Shiba Inu at the same time so I am no stranger to noise, stubbornness and cute shenanigans. I work full time in West Lebanon NH. I’m usually free around 4:00pm onward for week days and completely open on Weekends. Perfect you to enjoy a date night or have a weekend away! I’ll come to your place so your fur baby feels more at ease without a change of environment. Love talking walking and playing outside with pups, taking them to the dog park is always a treat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grafton on Rover is $77.7 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 180 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grafton. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% 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.
