“Mary and Marty were absolutely incredible! They took such great care of my dog and my home while I was away. My pup required multiple medications daily, and they handled everything flawlessly. Their communication was excellent—I received regular updates and adorable pictures throughout my vacation, which gave me peace of mind. On top of that, I returned to a spotless home. I couldn't have asked for better pet sitters and would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Lilly is such a professional and was amazing with our cat. Baloo is a sweet kitty, but often doesn’t trust someone and sit on their lap right away— and he did with Lilly! I’m so impressed with her ability to connect with him. She gave us updates throughout the day and it made us feel at such ease. We are definitely having her care for Baloo again and again!!! Cannot recommend her enough.”

About: 🐶I have 4 dogs of my own of all ages. Please go through my photos to see adorable fur babies! Along with my love for dogs I love to clean! I know you don’t hear that one a lot. So I am very patient, clean and organized I will never leave a mess. Pet accidents happen sometimes and that’s okay! Your pet will be loved and cared for as my own! “Dogs are not just pets they are family!” Pet care fits into my daily routine because, I have had dogs my whole life! There has never been a moment I never had a dog! I also have had fish! I have connected well with every dog I met in my lifetime. I love animals. I also have friends and family who reach out to me to care for their fur babies as well. I can do whatever my client asks me to do depending on the service! I will give your dog/dogs the love, care and exercise they deserve. I send many photos and updates! 🐶

“It was our first time using Rover and Bethanie did an amazing job watching our 3 dogs. She was great at communicating with us during our trip and sending pics of our dogs. She also left our home very clean! We would definitely recommend Bethanie and hire her again!”

“Rebecca is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided the best care to our fur babies. They can be a little skittish with strangers but she won them over quickly. I was so happy to see the photos of happy and calm pups! It helped us enjoy our time away.”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.

About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for them. While I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own due to occasional travel for work and family, Rover has been the perfect way for me to stay connected to what I love most (caring for pets). I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training my family’s cockapoo in obedience and showing her at the county fair for several years. I’ve also dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, including sweet senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making their day a little brighter. ⭐️ Unfortunately, I’m only able to board and do doggy day care for low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs due to allergies in the home. ⭐️ I work fully remote, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your furry friend lots of walks, attention, and the love they deserve! 🤗 I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their established routines. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I ensure pets are supervised and cared for how YOU request.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life. My family has raised multiple dogs since I was a little girl, ranging from small to large dogs, so I have plenty of experience with canines. Furthermore, though I wasn't allowed to have cats myself growing up, I've always adored them and have done plenty of pet-sitting for friends and families who did. I don't have professional pet-sitting experience, but I do love animals and have grown up caring for them in some capacity throughout my entire life, so I assure you I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time and am looking for some extra money on the side. However, despite that, I am still available throughout the week. I work early mornings and am always available after 4 p.m. Saturday is the only day I can pet-sit at any time needed. I would care for your animal and your home as if they were my own, with respect and care. Let me know the schedule, routine, and personality of your pet, and I will take it from there. I am always available for a video call when I am pet-sitting within your home, and will happily provide video updates throughout the visit, especially for new clients who are still becoming familiar with me. Your and your pets comfort is my main priority, so let me know what you need, and I got you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Grand Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 358 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grand Beach. 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 Grand Beach 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 Grand Beach 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 Grand Beach 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grand Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
