“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”

“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!
“Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home. It looked like my cats really enjoyed her company and she enjoyed theirs. I would definitely book her again.”
“Anna stayed with our dog Ginger for an extended weekend and she was fantastic! From the meet and greet to photo updates, we could tell that our anxious dog loved her and felt comfortable around her. 10/10 and we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”
“Emily is extremely kind and communicative! She sent me photos daily of my pups, she followed my instructions to a T, she kept my house extremely clean, and I would recommend her to anyone! My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!”
“Caitlyn always does a tremendous job with Opie. He loves when she stays with him. She provides plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and is the least stressful portion of my travel!”

Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home.

Sarah was great watching our two adorable if not anxious and energetic pups! She was great about fitting in a meet and greet and was communicative through the whole process. She was comfortable and great with them both right away and not put off by them as they adjusted to meeting her. Especially our 11 month old puppy. During her two night stay with them she sent photos and updates, and adjusted to accommodate their anxiety the first night when they were confused about where we were. She took them for walks independently and they both looked happy and relaxed in her care! As a first time user of this app, our minds were at ease and we are so glad to have had her and will definitely use her again!
Katelyn was very responsible and took care of not only our cat, but fed the birds, fed the feral cat, took care of the koi pond and all of our outdoor potted plants. She responded promptly to my texts & left no doubt in my mind that all was okay while we were gone. I would definitely hire her again.
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Marie! She did a great job with our cat and kitty and was kind enough to send us videos, pictures, and updates via text. She also did a beautiful job picking up our house while she was there. We will definitely look to no other than Marie for future cat sitting. Marie is also a very sweet and kind person. We love her!!!
I booked with Nikolai to house sit my senior boxer while we were away on a trip. He was very reliable, respectful of our space and provided daily updates to us about how Callie (our dog) was doing. Nikolai cleaned the house before he left at the end of our booking although we didn’t ask/expect him to. Callie can get a bit down when we are away and Nikolai spent lots of time with her to keep her company. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that someone was there with her most of the day. I would definitely book with Nikolai again!
Mikaela did a wonderful job watching our furkids. Our senior dog is on several medications and is beginning to have some mobility issues. Mikaela was very attentive to her schedule and extra needs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grandview Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grandview Heights on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,539 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grandview Heights. 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 Grandview Heights 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 Grandview Heights 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 Grandview Heights 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 Grandview Heights. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
