About: I grew up in a home filled with both dogs and cats, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. I’ve been pet sitting for 8 years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages and temperaments. My mom was a dog sitter for Rover, and by helping her, I learned invaluable skills in animal care and behavior. In high school, I took it a step further by running my own pet sitting business, building trust with clients and ensuring their pets were happy, healthy, and safe. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, and administering basic medications, making me well-equipped to meet a variety of pet care needs. I am a dedicated full-time student-athlete with a flexible schedule, available in the mornings, midday, and evenings to walk, feed, and care for your pets. My availability is consistent Sunday through Thursday, with occasional openings on Fridays and Saturdays. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets while in my care. I follow all instructions provided by the client, ensuring their routines are maintained to reduce stress. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, I stay attentive to the pet’s needs and behavior, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, leaving it just as I found it. My goal is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and familiar environment so both they and their owners can feel at ease.
“My dog took an instant liking to Mira. Mira looked after our dog at our home and we felt completely at ease with her. Not only is she a lovely person, but she also made sure our dog was well looked after in every way. I was really pleased to receive regular photos from her so I could see how well our dog was doing. Ten out of ten”
“Stephanie is extremely professional and communicative! She expressed genuine concern and gathered our needs for our dog and our dog’s needs and habits. After just our first housesit, she is highly reliable and we would love to book her any time!”
“Cayla did so great with my senior dog and also 9 week old puppy. She even helped with potty training! She left my house spotless after leaving and continued to give me updates and send photos while she was dog sitting. I will definitely hire her again and I recommend that you all do too!”
“Jae took care of our pup for almost 35 days - on our out of country trip. She was professional, dependable and took excellent care of the house and our pup. She went above and beyond and house keeping items and kept a clean home. I would more than recommend her for your sitting needs. Thanks Jae !”
“Samantha has been an exceptional dog sitter for our 13-year-old, blind fur baby, Buster. It's the second time she's looked after him, and her ability to handle his unique needs is truly amazing. Samantha not only follows instructions meticulously but also keeps us consistently informed during our trips. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out for her services again. Buster is in great hands with Samantha!”
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”
“We booked Alex over the holidays to watch our two dachshunds. I was super anxious about leaving them. I work from home so our dogs are not used to be left for long periods of time. Or youngest dog also needs someone to really be paying attention to him asking to go out or else he will have an accident inside. Alex immediately put my mind at ease with detailed and frequent updates. She sent tons of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and it was obvious from her updates that our dogs loved her. She also let me know she was giving training treats every time the younger dachshund would go potty outside to reinforce his potty training. She left the house immaculate and also left an adorable Christmas present full of dog treats which was such a nice thing to come home to!! 10/10 dog sitting experience for us. I highly recommend Alex for all of your dog sitting needs!”
“Ronni was amazing! She was very punctual and reliable. Very sweet with Bentley and took such good care of him. Will definitely be using her again. Would recommend her to everyone! Thank you again Ronni!”
“Aiden come thru for us again. This time last minute need and he was available on such quick notice. In addition he tended to our dog who was sprayed by a skunk while we were out. You can't ask for anything more. We can't thank Aiden enough for helping us out.”
“I have always had bad anxiety whenever leaving my fur babies, but Ben made me feel SO comfortable about taking care of my kitties! He sent detailed updates every single night about the day along with handfuls of pictures! One of our kitties is also very difficult when it comes to strangers, and he handled her like a genuine cat/animal lover would: with patience and understanding. Another 5 star review for Ben, we will for sure be using him again in the future! Thank you, Ben!”
“Brandie you are amazing! Mishka and Nuggy had a great time with you. The home looks better than how we left it. Loved the daily videos/picture check ins. Hope to book you again in the future!”
“Bryce did a great job w/ our 2 boxers. They're crazy, needy and a little too much for some people, but they didn't seem to bother him at all. We really appreciate Bryce staying at our house since our dogs can have seperation anxiety and tear things up. We also received photos daily which helped our anxiety as well. We will be using Bryce in the future! Thank you!”
“I adopted my large breed dog from the shelter, after he had lost his home of 7 years due to no fault of his. I had been told he howled all the first night in the shelter. When it was time for us to go out of town, I did a test board at a small boarder, thinking it would be less traumatic than a regular kennel, but he had a full-scale panic attack. The boarder suggested a home sitter. The first person we interviewed for a home sitter didn't work out, not a good match. What interested me in Caja was her experience in behavioral techniques, which I had found worked really well with our dog in helping him be calm and relaxed. After meeting Caja, our dog loved her. He behaved as if she were our daughter, who is away at college. Calm, in charge, playful, everything he loves. Caja took excellent care of our dog and cat, and we were so happy our dog was relaxed in his own home. I also found Caja receptive to hearing what behavioral techniques we used, and in reviewing the Halti collar we use with our dog. I will call Caja first whenever we next need a house sitter. We totally trust her with our house and pets. It was very easy to keep in touch with texting for status checks.”
“Alexa was great! Very communicative - sent photos and videos daily - and quick to respond to messages. She washed the bed sheets and kept the house and pups in good order. Would definitely book again!”

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.
Stacy did great with my four pups. She was reliable and kept my dogs happy while I was gone. One of my dogs is super anxious and Stacy went out of her way to try and build trust with him and work with him where he was at. I would highly recommend Stacy and will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Granite Bay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Granite Bay on Rover is $98.79 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Granite Bay. 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 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.
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 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!
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.
