“I highly recommend Lauren for overnight pet care. She is reliable and great with my dogs. They lived all her attention and extra walks. She is communicative and her updates/pics are comforting to homesick pet owners!”
“Andrea is a dream dog whisperer. Our little elderly pup had a wonderful experience with Andrea while we were gone. We got daily updates about their walks and adventures which is something I really appreciated while being away. And, we came back to a very happy dog at the end of our travels. We will definitely work with Andrea again!”
“Melissa takes wonderful care of our dog and it's a relief knowing she's in good hands while we are gone. She's a great communicator and understands our sensitive dog's needs.”
“We had an awesome experience with Sebastian watching our 2 dogs for a week. He has been my dog walker for a while now and when we planned a trip he was my first message. Great communication and left the house is great shape.”
“Lexie is a wonderful dog sitter. She has tons of experience with and loves dogs, and they love her back. My girls were well taken care of during my recent trip, and Lexie kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I've already booked her for another stay!”
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“We are so happy that we found Ashley. She was wonderful and took such good care of our two cats, two dogs (one with high anxiety) and chatty cockatiel. We received daily updates with pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We highly recommend Ashley and we hope she wants to come back again.”
“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”
“Veronica provided peace of mind with the care of our dog. She was consistently responsive to email inquiries, she arrived both days right on time, she brought good energy and was thoughtful and caring about dog sitting (which included taking several walks in a beautiful setting. I would not hesitate to work with Veronica again. She was very responsible and genuine in her approach.”
“Blake was just the kind of sitter we needed and had hoped for! We’d LOVE to use her again in the future. So caring and made us feel very comfortable by sending us photos of the dog’s status/how she was doing, etc. Thank you again, Blake!”
“Devan was a great dog and house sitter while we were away. Our dog Reese seemed very happy and secure. They seemed to get along well Devan asked great questions which made us feel better about leaving our dog in the hands with someone new. Place looked great when we returned home. Devan was communicative and easy work with. I highly recommend.”
“Emilie has watched Sully overnight twice now and she does an incredible job. We always come home to a happy and well taken care of pup. Emilie is extremely communicative and sends great updates. We will definitely be using Emilie again!”
“Wendy was amazing! She was so good with my bully mix who can be wary of others! She took such great care of Luna, and took things at her speed which is exactly what I needed when finding a sitter for my girl! Will definitely recommend and be using Wendy again! Thank you!”
“It was our first time having Mia watch our two Siberian Huskies. One can be very stand-offish and Mia understood her personality. She sent texts with pix of our happy dogs. She was a pleasure to meet and the dogs did great with a new person in the house! I will definitely use Mia again.”
“Josephine was AWESOME!! She communicated and sent pictures of the kitties while we were gone. Our kitties seemed very much at ease when we got home. Josephine left our house spotless when she left. I hope she can stay with our kitties whenever we’re outta town!”
“Micki is one in a million! We were gone for 24 hours for a wedding out of town and she took beautiful care of our fur babies! We got pics and notes the whole time we were gone. She walked our doodle until he was exhausted which is perfect and our house looked better when we got back than when we left it! We absolutely love Micki and will book with her again! We trust her implicitly. ❤️”

Micki did house sitting for our two big Akitas, one is a rescue and has some special needs. She was great with them - didn’t seem like they missed us at all (which is unusual). We already have her booked for several nights in about a month. She is a great find! Jim K.
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Robyn was a fantastic dog and housesitter! She was extremely communicative and responsible, and took great care of our two dogs while we were away for Thanksgiving. I felt very comfortable leaving the pups with her and she left the house super clean. I would love to book her again in the future! Highly recommend.
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Graton on Rover is $117.66 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 836 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Graton. 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 Graton 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 Graton 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 Graton 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.
