“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”

“We could not have asked for a better person to stay at our home and care for our “kids”. Bella and Opie were both so comfortable with Robin from first visit. We received daily pictures and videos of them and could see they were very happy and being taken care of. Not only did Robin care for our pets as her own, she also cared for our home as her own. There were so issues with our AC unit and she handled it, including having a repair technician come in. Cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% be using her again in the future!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

About: Hi! I'm Kiah, a mom, music teacher, and lifelong animal lover. I've been working with animals since high school, when I spent three years working in a veterinary office. I later worked at Midtown Board & Grooming from 2016-2018, caring for dogs in a professional setting. I've owned and cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, snakes, fish, and other small animals. I continue to pet sit for neighbors, friends, and local families, providing dependable care for their beloved pets while they're away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I've helped raise puppies from birth and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra companionship, I'll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work a flexible schedule as a piano teacher so I have plenty of time to work for your pet! My teaching schedule is 3 days during the week from the hours of 6-8 and the rest of the time I am home taking care of my son, pets and the house. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following the specific routines and instructions provided by their owner. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment and maintain their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I follow the client’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own space. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I've had dogs by my side for 20 plus years. I've cared for scared rescues, seniors, puppies, and high energy fosters. I've potty trained dogs and got my 2 doing a series of tricks. I understand the gentle confidence of the alpha helps dogs trust. My two are good with other dogs and have both been boarded with others and had others in our care. I've got a doggie door and fenced yard with squirrels for entertainment. I've got a nice 3 mile nature loop for walks. Dogs...I love them. I'd be glad to put your mind at ease and have yours hang with my pack. I work from home and have ultimate flexibility at the moment so I can walk dogs on your schedule and adapt to your needs. I don't leave the home for more than a couple hours for errands when I'm sitting. If your needs require something different, I am able to be flexible. We have a doggie door here and an ample fenced yard. I also have 2 other small dogs to keep yours company and play along with. I sometime book two families at once. If one of the dog families is a repeat client, and I have confidence the mix will work, your dog may get an extra playmate or two. If you are uncomfortable with that possibility, just let me know so I don't double book. Because I care for many dogs, please be sure your pups are up to date on their flea treatments to ensure we keep the environment comfortable for all who pass through.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, ages and personalities. I've had pets for most of my life and have been pet sitting since 2005, providing dependable, loving care for furry family members as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, routines, and special needs requirements. Whether your pet loves long walks active playtime belly rubs or simply relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to tell her my care to their unique personality and needs. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. One of the things I enjoy most about pet sitting is having a wonderful animal companion by my side while I work. I truly appreciate the comfort, joy, and unconditional love that pets bring to our lives. I'm very active and enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, and engaging play sessions, but I'm equally happy to spend quiet time reading, relaxing, and snuggling with pets who prefer a calmer pace. I'm single, well traveled, reliable, kind, and an excellent communicator who understands how important regular updates and photos are for pet parents. I currently don't have any pets of my own, which allows me to give your pet my full attention during our time together. I also maintain five star reviews on The trusted house sitters platform, reflecting my commitment to responsible, attentive, and compassionate pet care. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion! As a remote worker in graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, making it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, play time, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. My study and work routine also means that your pet won't be left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular interaction, supervision, and affection. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a calm quiet environment, I can adapt my schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well carried for. Your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live alone in a quiet condominium community, creating a calm, low stress environment for pets who enjoy peace and routine. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus my full attention on your fur family member and their individual needs. My home includes a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and there's also a dog park conveniently located within the community for dogs who enjoy socialization and exercise. Whether you're pet loves activity or prefers a quieter pace, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I am a responsible caregiver, excellent communicator, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for added peace of mind.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through my work as a veterinary technician, where I have developed strong skills in animal handling, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, providing nutritional support, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, including those who may be nervous, anxious, or need extra patience and gentle care. I understand the importance of recognizing changes in behavior, following specific care instructions, maintaining proper hygiene, and prioritizing every pet’s safety and well-being. Above all, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays all day, including overnight to pet sit your fur babies. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone with hands-on veterinary experience, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs to ensure they receive personalized attention and compassionate care. I am attentive to their behavior, practice safe handling, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and take extra precautions during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. I live in a one bedroom apt where I have dog park access as well as a bathing room. I also believe communication is essential, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving their owners confidence that their furry family members are in trustworthy, caring hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Granite Shoals

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 417 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Granite Shoals. 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 Shoals 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 Shoals 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 Shoals 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 , 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 .

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Granite Shoals. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
