About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for walks or quick visits. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home and ensure complete safety and reliability while entrusted with your home.
“Isabella was absolutely phenomenal. She was very friendly, timely, and took great care of our cat during a week long trip. I would highly recommend contacting her for your pet needs!!”
About: I've spent 13 years caring for my own dog, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. While I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to meet new furry friends and provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet's personality and routine. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'd love the opportunity to earn that trust! I currently have a flexible schedule while building my personal training business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and companionship throughout the week, and I can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, and I'll do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away! For dog walks, I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort while making sure they get to enjoy their time outside. I'll follow your preferred walking route, pace, and instructions, and make sure your dog is securely leashed before heading out. For drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, refreshing their water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I'll take the time to help them feel comfortable with me. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!
About: We have been married for 37 years and we have always had a dog. Georgie, our Cavapoo,is our fur baby. He’s a spayed 4 year old playful male. We live very close to a dog park where we take him to play often. We have a fenced yard and an acre and a half of green space. My wife and I are retired. We are up till around 11 at night and wake around 8:30. After coffee, we usually play some tennis or lounge by our pool. We take our Cavapoo to the local dog park for outdoor playtime in the evening when the temperature is cooler. We also play indoors through out the day. We sit down to watch tv around 8:00 and Georgie is usually on a lap snoozing. Our home is a non smoking home with CO2/smoke detectors in every room, basement and top floor. Those are all linked so if one goes by off they all go off. The yard is fenced due to a swimming pool. It will be covered in October with a cover that supports my weight. We are in a rural area with deer, squirrels, and various other wildlife. Our children are all adult and we are empty nesters at this point. We are currently not watching our grand sons, though they do drop in to visit.
“Christine is always a reliable and trustworthy sitter. She has taken care of my two cats several times over the last couple years, and I will continue to book with her whenever I am able!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and I have learned how all dogs have different needs. I know how to be patient with them and how I need to be in order to care for them. I work as a groomer and I am constantly learning how to take care of different dogs and what needs they have. I am able to work with any dog and I am always patient with them. I make sure to give my dog daily exercise and give him appropriate nutrition to keep him healthy. I also clean up outside and bathe him when needed.
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our dogs. She is very conscientious - she checked in with us regularly and asked questions to ensure she was giving the best possible care to our pups.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and children since I was a child myself! I love spending time with animals, I’m your human when it comes to your fur babies! I currently work from home so I have an easy schedule to work around and can work from anywhere! My availability is very flexible currently. I have a fenced yard and the house is large to accommodate more than one. I have a German Shepherd who is a bit apprehensive of other dogs due to a history of aggression from inside his former home. We sequester him while boarding.
About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I have a fenced in yard, paired with a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. I work from home as a stay at home parent, so I am always with your loved one(s) and they have my undivided attention and love!
“Hanna is great and I will definitely be a repeat client! Our kitties were well taken care of, even though they are both picky and can be catty, Hanna kept them happy! We really appreciate the care and continuous updates and pics/vids of our kitties. I would give more stars if I could! 💕”

Rachel was really great to work with, She was very thoughtful and even though my cats tend to be a little skittish she was able to interact with them very well. She took care of everything exactly as I asked and was always 100% on time for her visits. I really appreciate her time and attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her to others as well as ask for her services again for our next trip.
Katelyn was wonderful with our puppy during two drop ins! She sent us pictures and kept us informed and updated on our dog! She even was nice enough to clean up an accident he had! She was very easy to work with and communicate with! Thank you Katelyn and we will be having you watch our puppy again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grantham is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,570 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grantham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grantham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
