“Kyle may be a miracle worker, because he got my cat, who has a TBI and is very skittish, to fall in love with him on the second day of his care. I am very glad I found and booked this guy. I especially liked his updates to keep me in the loop, it gave me a lot of peace of mind. I care very much for my cat, and I am thankful she made a friend.”
“Becki was super responsive and kept us updated with all the pictures during our week away. Arya was happy and well cared for the entire time!”
“Maegan did a great job. She stayed with our dogs for 10 days and we could not have asked for more. Our dogs were well cared for and our house looked better than we left it. We are very pleased with the service she provided.”
“Skyler was great! My cat has medication and Skyler was able to care for her wonderfully with no issues. They left my home in the same order they found it in. Very communicative!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for more than a day and my first time using Rover services so I was definitely nervous… but I didn’t need to be! Holly did great taking care of my boys and I can tell they were well cared for, played with, and cuddled. She was great to communicate with and left the house in great shape. I will definitely be using her again if I’m in need ◡̈”
“Genesis did an incredible job watching our pets and home! She sent daily updates which included pictures and videos, was extremely respectful of our property, and was clear on all communication. We have a 14 year old dog and an asthmatic 8 year old cat, and I didn’t worry about them at all while she was here. Genesis competently administered their daily supplements, and our shy cat was even comfortable enough to let her give him his inhaler on day two of her stay! I would highly recommend this dependable, extremely caring, and delightful young woman to anyone who is looking for top notch professional and loving care for their pets.”
About: I am in my senior year at Grand Valley State University as a Fine Arts Major. I feel that my love of animals and flexible college schedule would be a great fit for offering pet sitting services! I grew up with our family dog that we sadly put down right before I left for college. I miss having a pet around and would love the companionship as well as extra income for tuition. I love dogs and cats and will give them the love and attention as if they were my own. I am a self starter and able to comply with any special needs or requirements for your furry family member! I am very flexible currently during the summer months to fit most requests. During the school year Friday-Sunday is wide open, with potential ability various times through the week. Proximity to Allendale during school months also gives added flexibility. Overnights are always a possibility. I very much appreciate the space of my clients and their privacy. I try to ensure that when I stay in a clients home that I leave it in the same condition or better than when I found it. I want limit any disruption to your furry family member as much as possible. I know how important it is to follow any rules/procedures put in place for the safety of your pet and your property.
“Hillary was absolutely amazing! She made me feel completely at ease leaving Franky in her care. She kept me updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, so I never had to worry for a second. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I would recommend Hillary without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Katie did a great job giving Koda the attention he likes and following our instructions. She took great care of our home. we found it as we left it. Katie sent updates and communicated well. Great job!”
“Andrea took such great care of my dog, who after the weekend was happily tired out and had obviously gotten lots of love and cuddles! Andrea was also respectful of my home, leaving towels hung up, and cleaning up after Enola in the back yard. 10/10 reccomend!”
“She was very understanding of why I needed somebody to watch him and my dog really liked her watching over him. I've never left anybody in charge of him before and I would let her do it again without hesitation.”
“Lillie was great, and Gilligan seemed right at home with her. She made sure to provide updates and send pictures. I really appreciated her staying in touch and I plan to use her again in the future!”
“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since I was a kid. I have currently have a dog of my own, but enjoy quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.
“Reliable, timely and phenomenal with our old men. Olivia was a great communicator and watched my dogs during a tornado! Definitely someone I’d trust in unexpected circumstances.”
“Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from my own cats to family dogs, goats, sheep, and chickens. I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds, including American Bulldogs, cattle dogs, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are playful, energetic, shy, or more laid-back. I currently work from home and have flexibility for weekday afternoon check-ins, walks, feeding visits, and playtime. My typical availability is Monday through Friday from 3–6 p.m., with weekend availability as needed. As I begin graduate school, I will be working part-time and will keep my calendar updated with any schedule changes. I prioritize each pet feeling safe and comfortable with me before expecting interaction. With cats, I stay low to the ground, move calmly, and let them approach at their own pace. With dogs, I follow the owner’s routine closely and adjust to their personality, whether they need a calm companion, structured care, or more active play and walks.
“I have never used a home pet sitter so I was a little worried to travel over 1000 miles away and leave my pet. Jacqui’s daily reports and photos put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Typically when I go away and come home, my dog is ecstatic to see me and can barley contain herself. She was happy to see me but not as overjoyed as I thought she would be. This to me proves that she received plenty of loving, along with my other pets. I would definitely use Jacqui again. Thank you for a job well done!”

Skyler was great with our shy pup and we knew he was in good hands. Skyler sent several updates during the overnight stay and we were very comfortable our boy was receiving great care. We are booking Skyler again in the coming weeks for a longer stay. Thank you!
Rebecca is amazing and so thorough asking questions to know exactly what your fur baby needs. I felt completely at ease while I was gone for the week, knowing she was so well cared for. My sweet girl got all the love, attention, play time and care that she needed. Rebecca also kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and texts to let me know just how much fun they were having and how well she was doing. Hands-down best experience and I absolutely will be using her again! Thank you, Rebecca for the awesome experience! Lula misses you already!!
Phoebe is awesome! She took such great care of our pets and even gave me back my house cleaner than I have it to her. Lol. She was very communicative, self assured, and just an amazing sitter. We cannot recommend her enough and we are hoping to rebook her in the future. Thank you Phoebe!
Olivia watched my dog Finley for my girlfriend and I while we were out of town for a long weekend. She took such amazing care of him and was so great about giving us regular updates on their adventures throughout the weekend. She was also so respectful of home and left it looking better than it did before you got there. I could not recommend her more for your pets, she will be our go to rover from now on!
Haylie did a great job housesitting and caring for our senior dog and energetic kitty over the holiday. The animals clearly like her, we appreciated her attention to the instructions, and we got updates, pictures, and a video while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to look after the house and the critters next time we travel!
I booked a very! last minute overnight house-sitting job with Katherine and she was wonderful! Quick response time, squeezed in time for a meet and greet. Pets were happy and house looked great upon our return. She sent photos and updates several times so I knew all was well with the fur babies at home. Will definitely use Katherine again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grandville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grandville on Rover is $34.24 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 974 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grandville. 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 Grandville 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 Grandville 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 Grandville 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 Grandville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
