About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats throughout my life, which has helped me develop a genuine passion for animals and their well-being. Growing up, my family and grandparents always had pets, and I was actively involved in their care, including feeding, walking, and spending time with them. These experiences taught me that pets are more than just animals; they're important members of our families who deserve patience, attention, and compassionate care. My professional experience includes working in dog daycare and boarding environments, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, potty breaks, exercise, supervising group play, and maintaining each dog's daily routine. This experience also strengthened my ability to recognize canine body language, understand behavioral cues, and appropriately redirect dogs when needed. I also have experience providing in-home pet sitting for my grandparents' dogs, where I was responsible for maintaining their routines and making sure they were comfortable while their owners were away. Over time, I've developed patience and confidence working with dogs who may be nervous, anxious, or require additional attention. I understand that every animal has a different personality and that building trust takes consistency, patience, and positive interactions. Currently, I work as a Veterinary Assistant in the Oncology Department at an animal specialty hospital. This role has expanded my knowledge and experience beyond general animal care and into the medical side of veterinary medicine. I work alongside veterinary professionals and assist with caring for patients experiencing various medical conditions, specifically cancer. I've gained valuable experience handling sick and medically complex animals, recognizing changes in their behavior and comfort levels, and understanding the importance of gentle handling, close observation, and individualized care. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience while giving each animal the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply relaxing in a familiar environment, I want to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I am a full-time student, but I have flexibility on times as my schedule isn’t super demanding. I do work full-time Monday-Thursday (10 hour shifts), but my weekend are always open. While I do have a full house that could be overwhelming to some pets, as a pet sitter in a client's home, I will follow their guidelines closely which may involve feeding pets according to their usual routine, administering medication if necessary, and engaging in play or exercise activities. I aim to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting the home and the pet owner's preferences. The specific services I offer may vary, so I'm adaptable to the needs of both the pet and the owner. Clear communication and a genuine love for animals guide my approach to pet care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care.
“As always, Katelyn works magic with Otis. She recently sat for a night when we had to go away for a wedding, and instead of being his usual skittish self when we aren't around, he relaxed and spent much of the time relaxing and cuddling. Thank you, Katelyn!”
“Haylie was really pleasant with our two dogs while we were away. As this was our first experience together Haylie communicated well, handled a special request and, the dogs connected with her as well. Definitely planning on rebooking with her.”
“Heather was so sweet and understood our animals are our family. She sent pictures throughout her stay which really put my mind at ease. We will book Heather again for the future!!”
“Rayanna was such a great dog sitter to Mabel, our sweet but a little anxious goldendoodle. This is the first time we have had an in home sitter for a week and Rayanna was great. Mabel was well taken care of and Rayanna was easy and fast to communicate with while we were away. I personally was so nervous to leave Mabel for a week, but I had no worries while we were away. Rayanna was great! We will definitely use her again”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, and even reptiles—so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of pet personalities and needs. My fiancé and I currently have five cats, and they keep life fun, active, and full of love. I have a deep compassion for animals of all kinds and all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also taken in several strays over the years, helping reunite them with their owners or finding them safe, loving homes. That experience has made me especially attentive, responsible, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I truly value time outdoors and believe regular walks and activity are key to a happy, healthy pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. I work part time as a massage therapist this leaves lots of times available for in home pet care. My schedule can be open more then what days/times I have on my profile. Currently I'd be coming to your home to care for or walk your pet. If needed I could possibly board. I do have 5 cats, they sleep most of the day.
About: I have been a dog lover since I could walk. I’ve owned my own dog (a pug) for 13 years and it’s been an absolute joy. I currently own my Pomeranian named Dior and she’s the love of my life. I am super active and love being active with dogs! I am more than willing to make a schedule that’ll suit you, myself and your furry companion. Select weekends are flexible as well! I am super excited to work with you if willing to work with me! I am really excited to meet your furry friend :)
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog Layla while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, and we could tell Layla was happy and well-loved the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, content pup — we couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend Elizabeth and would absolutely book with her again.”
“We requested stay-in-our-home care for our senior dog. Aidan worked out the details to make it happen. Mack was well cared for with walks, play time, grooming, and people time. Definitely recommend Aidan.”
About: Ive been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents ran a pet-care business out of our home—starting with family pets and growing into a well-known service in our city. Because of this, handling dogs of all personalities is second nature to me. I’m also very active and athletic, so I love taking dogs out for long walks or brisk runs—perfect if you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off extra steam. I do work full time during the week and I go into an office. I would be available on my lunch break to let your pup out if you are in the area of my work and also at night during the week and on weekends. I have my own almost 4 year old black lab. He is very well behaved and I have a nice open backyard where he gets to run freely.
About: I have experience caring for my own dog and other pets, plus volunteering with shelter cats. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, with a more flexible schedule for pet drop-ins on Fridays since I work remotely. I’m available most evenings after 5 PM and have open availability on weekends to provide your pets with reliable, loving care! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to stick to their daily routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I follow all owner instructions and provide plenty of love, attention, and comfort so pets feel safe and at ease. I also keep their space tidy and send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!”
About: My family has had cats my whole life so I am very familiar with cat care. Growing up with some shy cats has made me very respectful of animals’ boundaries, so I’m good with timid pets! I love all animals equally so I really will sit for any pet under the sun. I’ve been a dog walker and sitter unofficially for friends and family here and there over the past 5 years, and I’d love to do it more often and see dogs more in my daily life! I’m working part time so I have lots of availability for drop ins, walking, and some overnight sitting. My availability on week days is usually from 8am-10 am or anytime after 3 pm, and my weekends are very open and flexible. I am very attentive to pets’ needs and my approach will be catered to your dog or cat’s personality! For energetic animals I am thrilled to play outside or go on long walks, but for shy, elderly, or low-energy pets I am also happy to just give them some love and chill together. For cats, I generally let them set the pace and approach / interact with me on their terms, since cats are often choosy. I will feed and take your pets out based on your preferences and routines, so just let me know!

“Jasmine took extra special care of my dog Oscar. She was on time, reliable and responsible. Oscar was happy with her, I could tell from the many photos and videos she sent me while I was away from my doggy. I would highly recommend Jasmine”
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages.

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 Granville 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 Granville 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 Granville 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 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.

- 88% 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.
