“Mallory did a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our pup!! She took incredible care of everything and sent great updates! She was very flexible and so easy to communicate with and very responsive!”
“Emily is wonderful!! Our dog has anxiety and Emily was totally understanding and they were soon best buds! Emily was great at checking in and keeping us updated. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”
“This was the first time V dogsat for us and it was a wonderful experience! V was easy to communicate with, took excellent care of our pup, and even went above and beyond on caring for our home. Highly recommend!!”
“Celeste was great with our menagerie of somewhat quirky animals. We were out of cell service for the majority of our booking, but I appreciated coming back to pictures and happy animals. They were respectful if the space. Would definitely recommend and book 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!”
“Emily did great with Paris! She followed all my instructions in the house. Took great care of her, gave her her medicine, and sent pictures and updates every day. Will definitely book again.”
“We had a great experience with Kaleb. He took excellent care of both our dog and cat, sending regular updates and pictures so we felt at ease while away. He left our home in the same good condition he found it, and most importantly, our pets were happy and well cared for. He’s trustworthy and reliable, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”
“Blue is thoughtful, thorough, and did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home after we had a sitter situation fall through last minute. Blue was communicative and very sweet with our fur babies (Alaskan malamute and very shy cat). Will definitely be working with Blue again and you should too!”
“Rosemary is an absolute delight and such a professional! Left our house as she found it (if not cleaner) did a few extra house things and most importantly kept my babies safe, fed and super happy! Loved all the pictures and updates.”
“Marlowe watched my 3 year old boxer/pitbull mix and my 12 week old pitbull/lab mix while I went out of town for 4 nights and 5 days. My dogs were well taken care of and loved on the entire time I was gone and I never had any doubts or fears while they were under her care. She is extremely attentive to my dogs's needs and mine as well while I was away- and sent me picture updates on the girls and how their day was going. Not only is she respectful of my dogs and their needs, she is also respectful of my house. She spent the night with my dogs while I was away and left it in the same condition as when she got there. I can't say enough good things and will definitely be using Marlowe the next time I go out of town. I know my babies had a blast while she was here!!”
“Nina did a fantastic job dog sitting for Gertie and Gussie! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We highly recommend!”
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
About: My love for dogs started when I was about four years old. I still remember waiting in the car with my dad on a cold winter day when my mom walked toward us carrying a box with two stray puppies she had found on the sidewalk. That moment stayed with me, and I think it was when I knew dogs would always be part of my life. Since then, I’ve cared for many different breeds and personalities, from toy poodles and Pomeranians to boxers, German shepherd mixes, Weimaraners, and now my two crazy, funny Australian Shepherds. I know every dog has their own temperament, routine, comfort level, and needs. What sets me apart is that I am responsible, punctual, observant, and quick to learn each dog’s routine. Whether your dog needs exercise, patience, structure, affection, or just a calm and reliable person nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am currently available Friday through Monday, with the most flexibility on weekends. This allows me to offer reliable care for weekend trips, busy workdays, date nights, or pet parents who need extra support while they are away. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including walks, feeding times, drop-ins, and companionship. My goal is to make scheduling easy and to help your pet feel cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. In a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, medication needs, house rules, and any special preferences. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and crates are secure, and I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I try to keep things consistent and calm. I am also very mindful when entering and leaving a home, and I treat every client’s space with the same respect and care I would want in my own home. Whether I am walking, dropping in, or staying with a pet, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment. I want owners to feel confident that their pet is cared for, comfortable, and never rushed.
“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!”
About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for the past 4-5 years specifically cane corsos, pit bulls danes etc. Usually for friends and family but i have had multiple other clients. I’d love to take your dogs on long walks and visit them while your on vacation or family events etc :) I’m currently working full time but in transition to opening my schedule. I’m available to help during evenings and weekends at the moment and would be available within a weeks notice. I ensure your pets are happy by providing access to the toys, treats, games and other activities the home and the clientele provide. I will keep your pets comfortable, fed to your standards, entertained and the environment is calm peaceful and safe !

Kaity did a great job watching our dog, Kemba. She followed all of our instructions and consistently communicated with us each day - providing updates and pictures of Kemba. She left our house in great condition which was super helpful after a long trip. We’ll definitely rebook her again when the opportunity comes up!
Angela did a PHENOMENAL job at taking care of my kittens. It was hard to leave them for the weekend because they’re still young, and I’ve only had them a month, but Angela being there brought me such a sense of relief and comfort. She gave in-depth updates and loads of pictures throughout the booking. She was also incredibly respectful of my place and went above and beyond cleaning (it was literally cleaner when I got back than it was when I left). I will absolutely be booking again, and can’t thank her enough for her professionalism and care provided for my lil babies 🥹
Makenzie is the best and did such a great job with my 9 year old high energy shepherd mutt! She was super responsive, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our house. We hired her two weekends in a row and will definitely call her again for future dogsitting needs.
Mallory was the best choice for our pets! Having two dogs and two cats, it’s not always easy to find the right person to take care of them and we are new to Richmond. She spent the night wit them, making them feel comfortable and keeping us posted via texts and pictures. Our pets loved her, had no issues and she was respectful of our home. She also met us a couple times before the actual stay so that one of our dogs could get familiar with her. Couldn’t recommend her enough, you can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and cares for their well-being!
Nina was absolutely wonderful at caring for my pups while I was away for work. They got to keep their general routine and her photos showed me they were up to their favorite things—walks, snoozing, getting pets. I loved the updates I got and would be lucky to book Nina again!
I adopted Gobi in May and this was our first time away from him. Emily was super great and from her updates it seems like Gobi had a great time! I was so worried that he was going to be naughty or difficult, but she made it seem really easy. I am so glad we found her and got peace of mind during our trip. I can’t thank you enough!
We could not have asked for a better house-sitting experience than with Ellie. Her communication was top-notch before, during, and after her stay which gave us peace of mind when leaving our senior kitty with health issues and our dog, who gets nervous whenever we're gone overnight. Lots of pictures and updates. She also did a wonderful job keeping our house in order, which is much appreciated when coming home after several days away. If we need pet sitting again, Ellie will definitely be at the top of the list. We highly recommend her!
Celeste was great with our menagerie of somewhat quirky animals. We were out of cell service for the majority of our booking, but I appreciated coming back to pictures and happy animals. They were respectful if the space. Would definitely recommend and book again!

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.
