“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 4 years, i have 2 dogs and 1 cat at my house so i’m very used to how they act, crazy or calm. I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed. I leash my dogs when they go outside so i can do that with other dogs, i love to do tricks for treats with them and teach new tricks just for fun, i also love to take dogs on walks and make them feel comfortable with what they normally do on a daily basis.
“We have a ridgeback that is skeptical of most people. She trusts Elizabeth, will eat for her, and will lay with her. That is a huge relief for us when we go out of town. Thank you, Elizabeth!!”
About: Hello everyone! I’m Bailey and I’m 27. Animals have been a huge part of my life and taking care of them is a big passion of mine. I have owned rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters and your typically dogs and cats. I currently am a proud owner of 2 rescued short hair cats and a senior shitzu. I currently am available any day and time! There’s nothing more stressful than having to leave your fur babies but no fear I’m here to help relieve your anxiety and treat your pets like my own! I’m currently working full time however my job is very flexible allowing me to be available anytime during the week. Weekend I have full open availability! Comfortable to crate your animal, administer medications, provide exercise, cuddles & scratches, and follow diet restrictions/accommodations. Minimal dog training like practicing commands and leash guiding
“Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kaitlyn was excellent. Took good care of Gino. It was his first time where mom had left for more than just a few then just a few hours. Took care of his meds. Spent time on the couch cuddling and sent me a few pictures. I would use Kaitlyn again for sure”
“Ashleigh was a wonderful sitter!! Not only did she take fantastic care of the dogs, she also took care of some issues that happened at the house while we were gone. I appreciate everything she did before she left the house at the end of the booking. She’s exactly what you would want taking care of your animals. I will definitely be seeking her out again in the future.!! Thank you so much, Ashleigh!!”
“Nicole was wonderful with our red heeler! It was our first time away from her for an extended period of time (8 nights) and we were anxious about leaving her alone. Nicole sent us picture constantly and reassured us that our girl was happy and getting plenty of play time. Definitely will book with her again whenever we need a sitter for Hazel.”
“Cannon did a great job watching the dogs and cat. The cat is skittish around new people but by day 3 she was out and lying in her spot with the dogs and Cannon. That showed me she was comfortable with Cannon. The pictures Cannon send showed the dogs being their normal selves. I would have Cannon watch my animals again.”
“Emily stayed with our 3 dogs overnight and did a great job. Planning on her staying with them first week of July and will continue to use her when she is available. Would highly recommend her.”
“Charity was fantastic! She came over twice before our trip to make sure that our 2-year-old crazy pup was okay with her. She was very patient and knowledgeable and took the best care of all our animals (2 needy dogs, 2 cats, and a gecko. We'll definitely try to have her come again!”
“Shelby did a great job with our pup! She stayed with him and cuddled him while we were out all day and safely secured him in his kennel when she left for the day. He was a happy and safe dog thanks to her!”
“Jamie is just the best. She took great care of our Basset Hound Charlie while we were out of town for the holidays. He keeps asking when she's going to come back and hang out again ?”
“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.
“I booked Maggie to stay at my house and take care of my two dogs while I was out of town. I didn't like the idea of kenneling them and liked the idea of having someone watch them at my house but was hesitant at first. I have never done this before. To say Maggie was awesome is an understatement. My dogs loved spending time with both Maggie and her dog Willow. The house was just as clean as it was when I left when I returned. She brought my garbage can back in after pick up. Got the mail and sent pics and videos. I think my pups miss her and Willow. I was so impressed I just booked for my next trip out of town.”
“Lucas was great! He spent a week at our home with our Great Dane Goose. Goose seemed super happy (and most importantly, tired) once we returned home. Lucas was responsive, respectful, and communicative through out the trip. Will 100% be repeat clients.”
“Emily is amazing!! We are so grateful to her for being so caring and for always communicating with us to let us know how our kitties are doing. She watched them for 10 days while we were away and we managed to have a totally stress-free vacation thanks to her!! We would 100% rebook Emily again- our cats adore her (even the one with severe anxiety)!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Granville South
Katy was beyond amazing! One of our dogs have extreme stranger danger issues and Katy went out of her way to plan multiple pre visits to ensure our pets felt safe with her. She even showed up early on our departure day to ease the stress of our dogs while we started our vacation. Katy provided multiple daily updates and quickly shared any questions or concerns she encountered while we were gone. On her final day of sitting Katy cleaned our home and washed her own bedding, so I came home to a fresh clean home and happy pups. I will 100% be requesting her for future stays and help. Thank you so much Katy!!
Katy did a fabulous job taking care of and loving on Key while we were away! In addition, she kept us updated on Key and other household happenings, like packages - and she went above and beyond when cleaning up before we came home. We would definitely recommend her!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Granville South
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Granville South on Rover is $33.86 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 1,460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Granville South. 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 South 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 South 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 South 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.

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.
