“Mallory was wonderful house sitting for us and our pup, Ruger. We never had to worry about communication, and I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than it was before we left. Mallory was a trooper during the winter storm and throughout our heat going out on them. We would highly recommend using Mallory for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my pup instead of bringing her somewhere. I completely trust Oli with her, it went well! I look forward to Oli helping my pup again for a wedding in September :)”
“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”
“Emily was great. This was the first time my dog had someone different staying and it went great! Ringo felt super comfortable around her and had no complaints. I received texts and pictures when she arrived, took him walking, and when he ate. We will definitely be getting Emily to stay again!”
About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs. Once the school year starts I will still be available! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.
“First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.”
“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”
“Meghan was communicative throughout our trip, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so we could go over expectations and show her around. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house or dog sitter!”
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”
“We had a great experience with Kelsey. She was professional, communicative, and always punctual. Most importantly, she was incredibly attentive to our pet’s needs and made sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”
“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”
“Emily was fantastic!!! She was able to come on short notice to watch my blind dog while I was at an appointment, pictures were sent while I was out and more importantly my lil man was kept safe and cared for!! Talk about peace of mind she made my day worry free, Thank You So Much!”
“Catherine was fantastic. From the day I left, I had zero worries, she sent updates and photos on her own, I never had to ask what was going on. Followed every instruction exactly: medications, supplements, kept his water topped off, walked him the full distance I asked for and then some. You could tell she wasn’t just checking boxes. She noticed the small stuff, kept his routine consistent, and it showed. I came home to a calm, happy dog, which honestly says more than any review can. If you need someone who’s reliable, communicates well, and actually treats your dog like their own, book Catherine. I already know I’m using her again.”
“Audrey watched Chico for me this weekend and she completely put my mind at ease! She was very flexible with my schedule changes, and sent pictures and updates. Would absolutely recommend her as a sitter.”

Meghan was communicative throughout our trip, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so we could go over expectations and show her around. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house or dog sitter!
I recently had Estella watch my dog, Levi, for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Levi is an overly anxious, high‑energy, and sometimes reactive dog, so leaving him with someone new is never easy for me. Estella handled him beautifully. He seemed calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for the entire time. Her communication throughout the week made a huge difference. Because of her thoughtful check‑ins, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation. When I returned home, my house was in perfect shape, and Levi looked great. I highly recommend Estella to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and capable pet sitter. She gave me peace of mind and took wonderful care of my boy.
It was Riley's first time dog and house sitting for us, and she did a great job taking care of our girls. From making sure their somewhat-complicated food was prepared correctly to giving our older pups their pills at each meal, she followed all of the instructions to a T. Riley was great about giving us updates on everyone's wellbeing and send good pictures throughout her stay. It was easy to see how comfortable our dogs were with her just a few days in, even our most vocal, sometimes moody girl, Maisy. Thanks or being there to give our girls lots of love while we were away!
I can’t say enough great things about our McKenzie! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were loved and cared for gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats were so well taken care of, and it was obvious they were treated like family. We received updates, photos, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s such a relief to come home to pets that are relaxed and a house that feels like everything was handled with care. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend her! We will absolutely be using her again and again!
Catherine was fantastic. From the day I left, I had zero worries, she sent updates and photos on her own, I never had to ask what was going on. Followed every instruction exactly: medications, supplements, kept his water topped off, walked him the full distance I asked for and then some. You could tell she wasn’t just checking boxes.

If you need someone who’s reliable, communicates well, and actually treats your dog like their own, book Catherine. I already know I’m using her again.
Jonathan did an excellent job watching our dog, June. He was communicative, shared beautiful pictures of June each day, and left our house cleaner than he found it. I felt completely at ease while traveling because of his proactive communication and attentiveness. I look forward to hiring Jonathan again!
Virginia did a great job with our dog, we got regular updates and pictures and was very communicative our entire trip! Usually we feel guilty when we don’t take our dog on a trip, but we felt a lot better on this trip because of how great a job Virginia did. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Granite on Rover is $53.5 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 1,441 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Granite. 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 Granite 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 Granite 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 Granite 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.
