“As always, Emily took wonderful, loving care of our little monkey, Baxter (actually, he's a dog). Emily made the treacherous trek up to our house, during the recent hill country freeze. That's something we'll never forget, as we also had to brave the icy roads to get to our flight in Austin. We always feel secure leaving town when Emily is in control. Thank you, my beautiful Pescatarian, Punk-Rock, Pet-Sitter!!! We adore you!”
“Denise was wonderful sitting for my 313 year-old Havanese with cancer. We greatly appreciated her photo and video updates and would definitely book with her again to care for our dog in our home.”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. Their unique personalities, playful spirit, and quiet companionship have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your dog is outgoing or shy, I'll provide gentle, patient, loving care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while giving each pet the time, patience, and attention they deserve. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.
“This was our first time using a house/dog sitter. Sherri did a wonderful job in everything. She was friendly and professional. Her rapport with our puppy was immediate. We felt comfortable that he was being well cared for. Sherri kept us well informed while we were away. Her detailed notes were very helpful. It was clear from our dog's behavior on our return that this was a pleasant experience for him. We will definitely call on Sherri again when we need exceptional dog sitting.”
About: I grew up with 3 big dogs who were truly my best friends <3 I loved to take care of them including walking, feeding, and bathing them. I now have a cat and dog of my own who are everything to me. I am currently in between jobs and will have all the time to dedicate to your animals. I have limited availability Sunday-Thursday before 12pm but can work about that if need be. I will fully respect your wishes for your pets as long as it is respectful to your pets. My dog loves her crate and I have an extra crate as well.
“Haley is so sweet, and she took care of my dogs and home beautifully. Everything was perfect when I got back. My fur babies are very demanding, with competing personalities, and she handled it like a pro! I would 100% rebook her.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been around cats or dogs. I even have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Each one of them have their different personalities so I know how it’s like to treat each animal with the care they like. My dream in the future is to have my own pet resort at my own house but first I want and need to experience how each animal work’s differently so I can give them the best care they deserve I am currently available on Mondays Wednesday's Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to book anyone 7 days or plus prior before the date they want. I respect people and their animals. I would care for your animals as if they were my own. My care for your loved ones would be me making sure he/she has enough water and food, go the the bathroom regularly, and practice good habits.
“We are so thankful for Brylee! Communication was great while we were away and our dog Buddy seemed so so happy when we got back home from our weekend trip; hoping to book Brylee again in the future.”
“Gives me peace of mind while I'm away knowing that someone so dedicated to my pets' well-being is watching over them for me. Amanda is dependable, respectful and she always provides timely updates with photos to let me know how things are going. She's the best!”
“Danni is an excellent pet sitter. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. My pups were well cared for and very happy! I appreciated the regular updates and her attention to detail! I will be using her again...highly recommended!!”
About: I love giving pets happy moments while you’re away and treat any pet as my own I feel that’s what sets me apart from anyone else :) I work part time so I’m able to be available for my pets and other pets and give each pet time and care while in my care. I care for pets by providing basic necessities such as water, play time, cuddles and attention towards your pet in order to satisfy your pet with their stay with me. :)
About: I’ve watched houses and pets for many years now, I love dogs ever since I was young. I will make sure your pet is always taken care of! I’m pretty free this summer! I do Uber on the side but that’s in my own free time. I’m a college student but I’m not in classes right now I love my 2 huskies! I spend hours outside with them every day! I keep to myself always and always maintain cleanliness wherever I go!
About: I have raised a handful of puppies, making them great companions. Each of our dogs lived to be around 14-15 years old and enjoyed every second with me and my family. Whether I had to monitor them post surgeries, or senior care, I always made sure they got the care, medicine and love they required. I work early morning shifts M-F. I typically I may wake up around 1-4am, and work from home for the first few hours of my shift. I finish out the rest of my 8 hour shift at the office, return home for a quick meal, go to the gym, and spend the rest of the night at home! I would love an excuse to go out for frequent walks with a dog while I am home. I do not mind if my car gets dirty from taking them out to a park for a longer walk rather than their usual potty breaks you may give! For cats or dogs, they will have plenty of room to relax and rest wherever they please. I keep a neat and tidy apartment, so there won’t be much they can get into to mess with!
About: I’ve spent years fostering and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups to seniors that need a slower pace. I’m very patient and good at reading dogs’ behavior, which helps them settle in and feel safe quickly. I also keep owners updated with pictures and little “pupdates” so they always know how their dog is doing. My goal is for every dog to feel right at home, not like they’re just being watched. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my days so I’m home often and able to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening are usually when I focus on walks, feeding, and outdoor time, with lots of check-ins and cuddles in between. Since caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, I make sure they’re part of my regular routine so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for during their stay. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as close as possible to their normal routine. In my home, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a calm place to relax. I make sure they feel safe and at home while they’re here. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, and care instructions closely so the pet’s routine stays consistent. I also send updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so I have experience caring for puppies as well as small and large breeds. I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, basic training, and giving dogs the attention and care they need at every stage. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very hands-on with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and love. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me 🤍 Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available anytime to give your pet consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the day and night :) offer pet care both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with constant supervision since I work from home. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grapetown on Rover is $32.1 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 106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grapetown. 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 Grapetown 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 Grapetown 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 Grapetown 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 Grapetown. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
