“Thanks again for taking such good care of my animals. It’s nice to know I can trust her to take care of them when I go out of town. Angellee even dealt with an ant attack while I was gone.”
“This was my first time using Rover & it’s a great app to have. Denae sat for my 2 fur babies. I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for. The updates help, Danae sent photos daily to keep me updated on there well being. Very easy & smooth transaction. I need to get better at using this app so I will check back in soon as Danae is sitting for me again, & this time will be much longer. 😊”

About: I have a wide open schedule for the next 4 months and will be changing availability with the start of school! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and I have taken care of neighbors and friends animals on and off for years. I have experience with many types of dogs and I have a true love for all animals; I am able to provide dog walking, drop in visits and dog sitting at this time. I am unable to board at my house at this time but I am happy to dog sit at your home and take care of your pet any way you see fit. I am currently looking to use pet care as my income during summer while I am in Grad school, after august I intend to scale back to weekends and after classes! I follow instructions from pet parents to the letter, I love and respect all animals and I ensure that pet parents can feel safe leaving their pets in my care!

We received pictures and updates which really calmed our nerves. The dogs loved Ellie so much it didn’t even seem like they missed us much! As a completely unexpected bonus the house was spotless and flowers were on the table. I could not recommend Ellie enough and we will definitely reach out again when we go on vacation!”

About: I love animals I have always had at least one pet in my home since I was born, I've taken care of Dogs, Cats, Birds (parakeets), Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Rabbit and Red Eared Slider turtles. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets as one of my own, you can trust me with your babies. I worked at a doggy daycare so I've been around all different types of dogs and know about the different temperaments and can deal with all different personalities and needs. I also worked at Anaheim feed and learned a lot about pet nutrition and products so if you have any questions please do ask. I love to do research on animals and use natural/holistic methods when applicable. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is always safe and taken care of, while walking I always am aware of my surroundings and on alert for lose dogs, broken glass and food on the floor and make sure to take every precaution to not run into any of those things. I will run with your dog if it needs to get more energy out. I supply my own earth friendly poop bags as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Terrace
Elena is amazing! I had a lot of reservations about having someone stay in my home that I didn't know. But Elena, eased all of my nerves after the first meeting. I have a poodle mix who does not do well with new people. Elena was not concerned at all about getting her to warm up to her. When she came on the day, we were leaving, she was calm and already comfortable around our dogs. She took them on their daily walks and sent photos of how happy they were. She let us know they were doing great almost daily and she sent photos of all of their cuddles. When we came home today our dogs seemed so happy, not just that we came home but just an overall positive energy that they had had a great time. We also had some unexpected maintenance that needed to happen and Elena handled it like a champ! I would 1000% book with Elena again and recommend her to all of my friends and family.
Mae was absolutely wonderful with Felix. She treated him with so much care and affection, as if he were her own pet. They bonded very quickly, and it was clear that Felix truly enjoyed his time with her. She was also an excellent communicator, punctual, reliable, and very attentive to details. I felt completely comfortable leaving Felix in her care, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter.
Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!
Jacen was an amazing sitter for my 3 boys!! I recently adopted one of my cats so I’m still in the process of introductions and Jacen understood the importance of keeping my cats separated but giving them all playtime. He was very caring and loving to my cats, even my big grumpy boy didn’t hide as much as usual! Jacen was also super flexible with my schedule, I had to travel for the birth of my brother and sister-in-laws first baby and he was so accommodating with the changing dates. Thank you so so much!! I would recommend all my friends to rely on Jacen for animal care, and I plan to ask him to watch my cats again when I travel.
Nathan is fantastic! I could tell at our first conversation how much he loves animals and he could be trusted to care for my dog. And I was not wrong. He gave Ike the best care and took great care of the house too. He gave regular updates and sent pictures. Ike is so happy to see him. Nathan is more than a sitter, he is part of the family now. I can't think of anyone better to care for my boy when I travel. Thank you Nathan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grand Terrace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grand Terrace on Rover is $49.98 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 2,644 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grand Terrace. 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 Terrace 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 Terrace 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 Terrace 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.

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.
