“I highly recommend Mikayla as a pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being and happiness.”
“Susan was excellent to work with - professional, prompt at replying, and she took great care of Nigel and Rosa. Communication was streamlined and we felt very confident leaving our dogs in her care. She was able to handle medication administration with no problems, and she went above and beyond to put me at ease during our time away from the dogs. We would absolutely book Susan again!”
“Meagan sat with my dogs for a few hours. Jake my Australian Shepard had taken to her right away. My dachshund is more stubborn but as little time went on he came around. I would definitely book Meagan again to watch my fur babies.”
“Libby was a wonderful dog sitter for Penny. She spent time with her and took her for walks. She shared pictures with of us of Penny while we were away. We would hire Libby again in the future.”
“Gem was everything we hoped for and more in a dog sitter! She was extremely attentive to our pup’s needs and very communicative with us while we were away. The pictures/updates she sent regularly helped us feel at ease. We absolutely look forward to booking her again!”
“Excellent. Great peace of mind having her hang out with the dogs all weekend. Both dogs wag thier tails and get excited at the mention of Payton. They can't wait to see her again.”
“I have had Skyler stay my doggos a few times over the last few years, she has always been quick to reply and update, the girls love her, and I have never had a worry in the world while she was in charge. This last trip I was out of cell range for a good bit if the time, and unfortunately had one of my pups get sick. Skyler was able to get in touch with my mother and coordinate an emergency vet visit all before I got back to cell range. I cannot say enough about how great Skyler was in such a stressful situation!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets! My mom has even owned 3 deer. She currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve always loved animals and will do whatever it takes to make sure you and your pet are comfortable I currently work full time as a manger, however my hours are 8-4 and I usually get out earlier. I will be there throughout the night/ early mornings to do whatever is needed. My pets are fed 3 times a day and have open water to drink throughout the day. My mom has 14 acres and they free roam. However if I’m watching someone else’s pet that will not happen and they will be leashed.
About: Hi! I’ve spent years sitting and walking dogs for friends and family, so I definitely know every dog has their own personality and am happy to cater to them and take whatever time is needed to make them the most comfortable! Growing up there were always 3+ dogs in the house including puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m equipped to handle all stages of life and different needs! I am patient, understanding, experienced, and ready to give your dog the most loving care! As a student with a part-time job my schedule is pretty flexible! For dogs, that means consistent walks, potty break, and feedings that match their normal schedule. For cats, regular feeding times, litter maintenance, and plenty of attention if they prefer it! Since my shifts change week to week, I will always confirm availability ahead of time and communicate about timing! Your pets safety is my top priority, in your home or mine! I live in an apartment, so I’m mindful about creating a secure, calm place, free of hazardous foods or items. I treat every pet in my care with the same level of attention I’d want for my own, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She sent us photos of our pups everyday and helped make our vacation stress free.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 years old. I have bathed, fed, walked, and played with dogs and cats alike. I love it a lot and animals just bring me joy. I currently work part time at another job so I’ll have time to help take care of your pets throughout the week and keep them company. I am able to move around a bunch to play with your pet! I can also cuddle and relax with them if that’s more their speed. I understand every pet is different and I can work with them however they need! I’ll also make sure to stay communicative, letting you know what’s going on and sending pictures of your fur baby’s.
“Alyssa is an exceptional dog sitter and exceeded my expectations. My German Shepherd, Ava, is highly independent and energetic with borderline diva tendencies. Alyssa had my girl for a week while I was hiking in the Black Hills. From her pics and communication, I could see that Ava was in good hands. Alyssa treated my Ava and my home as if it was her own—I’m so glad I found her! I will continue to use Alyssa and recommend her highly.”
About: I am so excited to start my Rover experience! Every dog is different and silly in their own way, and that is my absolute favorite part of pet sitting. I have cared for everything from tiny lap dogs to large breeds, crazy puppies to sweet senior dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs on/off leash. I will treat them like my own, paying attention to their individual personality, routines, and needs, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands! I work nights at the hospital, so my days are always available! I am also available for nighttime check ins, if requested! I am very accommodating and flexible with timing and schedules. Feel free to switch up on me last minute - I go with the flow :) I am prepared to provide attentive care to your furry friend. I will respect and follow routines, boundaries and expectations. My goal is to achieve clear and effective communication while you are away. Expect lots of photos and updates!
“I highly recommend Amber for any dog sitting or dog walking needs, no matter the size or personality of your pup! I have a 110 lb lab mix and a 70 lb Great Pyrenees mix—both can be a handful at times—but Amber handled them with confidence and care. Her experience with larger breeds (including her own huskies) gave me peace of mind from the start. What truly impressed me was how she connected with my younger dog, who is very skittish and slow to warm up to new people. By the end of the week, not only had my pup warmed up to Amber—she was jumping on the bed and cuddling next to her, something she rarely even does with me or my husband. I was amazed! Amber also sent me photos of the dogs every day to keep me updated, which I really appreciated—it helped so much when I was missing them while away. Amber went above and beyond to make our dogs feel safe and loved while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for future stays!”
“Alaska stayed with my loving senior cat Quincy for 3 weeks while we were abroad. She did a wonderful job! Quincy was soon bonded to her and she sent wonderful videos showing how happy he was with her! When we returned, the house was in great shape...clean, neat, and plants and fish looking healthy. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Cody was awesome! He did some house sitting with my two dogs over a four day period. I never worried once after he came to meet and greet with our dogs and get acquainted before we left on a trip. He was flexible and willing to make an extra trip to let my dogs out one last time before we got home. Very appreciative of him!”

Kristin was a great communicator and routinely sent photos and updates for our pets. Right before we left for vacation our refrigerator broke and was unable to be repaired for a week. Kristin was flexible with this and was sure to be home for the repair man. She left our home in the condition she found it. Would certainly book again!

Emma was absolutely amazing with Luka while we were away. She gave us daily pictures and updates which gave us so much peace of mind the entire trip. Our house was left exactly the way we left it, and it was obvious she truly cared about Luka and not just “checking in.” What meant the most was how she went the extra mile when Luka started having some anxiety with us being gone. Emma was patient, attentive, and made sure Luka felt comfortable and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate to care for their pets.

We had a last-minute dog sitter cancellation the literal evening before a weekend trip and were scrambling to find someone. Faith truly came through for us. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very flexible on short notice. She took great care of Remi and kept us updated with the cutest pictures throughout the weekend, which gave us real peace of mind. This was our first time booking with Faith, and it definitely won’t be the last. Thank you so much, Faith! Good luck with finals!
We have had Bessie watch our dog, Margo, several times and she has always done a phenomenal job. Bessie always takes care of Margo's fundamentals, and also make sure she has a great time with walks and play time. I think Margo seems genuinely happy when Bessie watches her. Sometimes, when using Rover, you know you come home and there's like a feeling that your dog was stressed. We have never had that feeling with Bessie. Always come home to a very happy dog!
We have used Alaska several times for our Saint Bernard Margo and Margo always seems to enjoy her visits! Alaska is friendly, communicative, and attentive. She lets us know if Margo's been having a good day, or if something was off. She's exactly what you want if you're looking for someone you can trust on Rover.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Granville on Rover is $31.64 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Granville. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Granville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
