“Deanna was wonderful!!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We left for a week and when we got home our dogs were happy as can be, that tells me everything I need to know :) we were sent lots of pictures and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Would definitely book with her again!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!
“Anastassia followed all our instructions, and was really good in keeping our baby company. She took notes, arrived early, and brought treats for my dog. I never encountered a sitter as organized as her before. We’ll definitely use her service again next time! ☺️”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
“Lacee was everything we were looking for in a house sitter and a dog sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and a proactive communicator. She took great care of our 3 active dogs and kept us informed. I highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
About: My two main goals when dogsitting are to make sure your pet feels loved and your house ends up cleaner than when I entered it. I’m currently a full time college student with classes 4 days a week, but will prioritize spending time with your pet when I’m not at school. I can give them all the attention they need and fit the rest of my schedule around them! In my clients home, I will make sure your pet feels loved and gets attention, time outside, and gets all the food he or she needs.
“Ember was an amazing sitter! She was prompt, and even a little bit early on arrival. That meant a lot to me, because promptness is important to me. She was very attentive to the dogs and enjoyed being with them. She sent us pictures every day and updated us in the evening if we hadn’t communicated during the day. She followed all of the guidelines that I had set out, and even went over and beyond. The house was perfectly spotless when we got home and the pups were happy. We will definitely be having Ember back again. I would highly recommend anyone else hiring her for a sit.”
“How fortunate for us that we found Meredith! Warm, calm, understanding and professional, Meredith's presence gave me peace of mind that my furry family would be cared for with love and attention. I needed to make a last minute change and Meredith was flexible and understanding. Thank you Meredith, for taking such good care of my furry family.”
“Desirae was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home and took such wonderful care of our pets! It was clear from the updates and photos that they were all loved, well cared for, and comfortable while we were away. Knowing Desirae was taking care of both our pets and our home gave us complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and treated everything with so much care and respect. We came home to happy pets and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn’t recommend Desirae more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, trustworthy, and truly cares for your animals like they’re her own, she’s the one. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again!”
About: I dog sit and walk all the time and I love dogs! I also house sit and water plants and feed goldfish! I’ll love to play with your pets! I just graduated from granite bay high school and I have a dog of my own, he’s an english pointer and is super energetic so i’m used to having to wear out dogs! I’m good at getting a dog to listen to me and I can also crate your dog if needed! Just show me the commands and your dogs will be in good hands!
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to wise senior dogs, and everything in between. I have experience with training basics, administering medications, and providing extra love and attention for pets who need it most. My hands-on experience on small-scale farms and with rescues has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read animal behavior—ensuring your furry family members feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles. On other days, I’m happy to provide early morning or evening visits to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and love they need while you’re away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure spaces are secure, comfortable, and free of hazards. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions carefully, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. My goal is to provide peace of mind to owners while keeping their furry family members happy, healthy, and loved.
“Our cats absolutely loved Gracies! Gracie loved our kitties, sent pics with updates, and did a great job of caring for them. Our cats are usually shy, they immediately warmed up to Gracie. Our big guy who is normally a scaredy cat decided Gracie was his new best buddy. Gracie is amazing, would definitely use her services again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our pups, Ragnar and Rollo, received over the weekend! From the moment we met, it was clear they were in great hands. Daily updates and photos gave us total peace of mind, and it was obvious the boys were relaxed, happy, and well loved. Everything was handled with care—feeding, walks, playtime, and even a little extra attention to their quirks. We came home to two very content dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter!”

Stacy was absolutely phenomenal. She cared for our three (3) pups as if they were her own. When one of them got sick during our trip, she made special meals with white rice to settle his tummy. She proactively communicated with lots of photos and updates. Can't say enough great things about her. Five stars and two thumbs up!
This is the 2nd time we’ve booked with Deanna & once again SHE IS FANTASTIC!! Her communication is great, she’s very attentive to our pup, super respectful of our home. & leaves everything clean & tidy! We could not be happier to have found her on Rover! We will be booking with her again soon!!!
Paige was great with my furry kids. She took care of two cats and two Alaskan Malamutes while traveling, and all went smoothly. She also came before for a meet-and-greet, which facilitated the walkthrough and understanding of the request to keep the furry ones comfortable. Highly recommend Paige's services.
Ashely was amazing! She was wonderful with our fur babies and made sure they were loved and cared for while we were away. She followed all of the directions we left in our note, sent lots of pictures of our fur babies, and went above and beyond to walk/care for our pets. I would highly recommend Ashely and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.

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 Bay 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 Bay 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bay 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
