“Brianna is a star! After moving Zora from the only home she had ever known less than a year ago, I was very unhappy about leaving her for a whole month, but I needed have worried. Zora and Brianna quickly formed an enduring bond and did SO well together. It was infinitely reassuring to receive regular texts, photos and videos of their days together. Brianna also took amazing care of my home and my plants. When I got home, everything was immaculate. Zora had obviously been content, well cared for and exercised during my absence. Definite five stars!! Thanks, Brianna!”
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”
“Ash did a great job watching our new 3 month old puppy(she's a piranha)! I wouldn't wish that on anyone. We got lots of updates and pictures. Would highly recommend.”
“Julissa was amazing. She house/petsit for Thanksgiving week and our dogs Ramsey and Waldo adored her. She went above and beyond of what we asked of her, was in constant communication, and completely trustworthy. We will look forward to hiring Julissa again. Thank you so much for your hard and amazing work!”
“Brynn was an amazing sitter! They were kind and responsive. Our dog enjoyed time in nature and came back to us tired and happy from a great weekend! Brynn is definitely a responsible sitter to use.”
About: Raised in a big dog household, comfortable with all shapes and sizes. Always happy to spend time with the most genuine creatures on earth and I'm never afraid of the poop bag. During the week I like to walk early mornings before 8am and after 4pm when I get out of work. On the weekends I'm available all day long! All animals are deserving of genuine care and respect, I will treat yours like my own. While walking I know it's my responsibility to avoid dangerous situation before they happen.
“Katelyn and her girls took wonderful care of Pierogi! Lots of photos, snuggles, and activity time. Will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip in August!”
“Erin was so great with Banner. She made sure to get him out for a walk or an adventure each day - something no other sitter has done. My boy is very high energy so he needs that stimulation she was able to provide! She updated me with pictures and texts each day which made me feel confident that Banner was in good hands. Thank you Erin for a great first stay with Banner!”
“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home while we were away. She was very responsive to my inquiries both before our booking and while we were away. We will definitely contact her for future needs.”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“James took great care of Onyx while I was away on vacation. He kept me posted with plenty of updates, photos and videos so I could see my pup happily playing and exploring the neighborhood.”
“Debbie was absolutely incredible with my 2.5 year old pit mix Brooks. He took to them almost instantly at the meet and greet, and I felt 100% comfortable with them staying at my house and looking after him. Debbie kept me updated with pictures and texts and took amazing care of him. Having somebody stay in your house and look after your pet is always a little daunting, but after chatting with Debbie and her partner for 20 minutes while they got to know Brooks I had no hesitation about having Debbie stay and care for him. Debbie and her partner are really awesome people and clearly both love — and are good with — animals. Debbie will be my go-to first choice for any dog sitting I need doing in the future, without a doubt.”
About: I have a lot of experience caring for pets and love to show them the care you would expect so you can feel at ease with who is watching over your pet. I work part time and out of the home, so caring for your pet is very easy to fit into my daily schedule, both days and nights. I have a fenced in yard in a secluded area in Belchertown. I have 1 older dog and she is very friendly and loves to play with friends.
“Charlie had another great stay with Jessica. She was attentive to him, letting us know his chronic cough was increasing. She managed it well, professionally and patiently, with permission from us to give an extra dose of one of his medications. She communicated with us throughout the stay-”
About: Calm, quiet environment with a sitter who craves doggy time. My 12 year old black lab recently lost her fight with cancer. Not ready to bring home a new dog, but would love to care for your precious fur babies while you are away. I offer patience and attention to your canine's needs. I'm a human nurse but also experienced with dogs special needs such as insulin administration. I work Monday-Friday, Home on weekends. No young children. Available for walks, dog Parks (dog park with your approval), or hanging out in the yard secured on a 50 foot lead. Dogs are not left outside unattended. You're welcome to bring your pets favorite toy for us to use during their stay. Will try to keep them on your schedule for easy transition from home to sitter. I speak to animals as of they can respond. Days are better with happy pets! Friday drop-off at 5:30 pm. Sunday pick-up by 8:00pm. I have a large yard and a spacious house. Spend weekend around the house doing small projects, crafting or cleaning. It's a quiet, stress free household with a very flexible schedule. While I miss my own pet I'm looking to offer a love-centered environment similar to children visiting their favorite Aunties house.
“Drew is a highly recommendable house and pet sitter. My cat and dog liked them from the first minute on. And so did we: Drew is professional and courteous, highly intelligent, reliable, flexible and organized. At the same time, they have a m genuinely friendly and sweet personality, a wide range of interests, and a good dry humor. They left the pets happy and the household spotless. We will hire them any time and recommend them full heartedly. 🌸”

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 Granby 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 Granby 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 Granby 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
