“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She treated our pup like she was her own, taking her on tons of walks, taking her on adventures, and keeping our sweet social pup company. We are so thankful that we found Melissa and trust her 100% to take care of Nugget in the future. I highly recommend having Melissa as your petsitter, she is incredible!”
“Christine was fabulous with her week stay with our dog Harper. She communicated often and I was highly confident in how she would take care of our fur baby. She went above and beyond to wash the linens and our house was spotless. We be booking with Christine again!”
“Alonnie was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! We have a high-energy Rottweiler and a lovable Golden Retriever, and she handled both of them with ease. She was reliable, caring, and gave them so much attention and love while we were away. I really appreciated her regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and our dogs adored her. I would highly recommend Alonnie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter—we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kylee was so incredible!!! She watched 4 dogs for a whole week and took such good care of them. She was super responsive and gave me updates! It also was super rainy the last few days and with 4 dogs and our yard is super muddy/ floors not good with mud and dog fur, we fully expected to walk into a filthy house but to our surprise the house was spotless. She went above and beyond to make the house look amazing even in the rain! We really appreciate it and will be absolutely be using her again in the future for any needs we have!”
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”
About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I genuinely love it. I've cared for dogs of all ages — including a senior dog I looked after for a full month while his owners traveled internationally — and cats during weekend trips, checking in regularly for feeding, playtime, and company. As a former project manager, I'm naturally detail-oriented and reliable, so I'll follow your care instructions to the letter. I also work from home, so pets get consistent attention throughout the day, and I'm completely comfortable staying overnight to keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether it's a senior dog needing extra care, a younger pup with energy to burn, or a cat who just wants company, I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and my schedule is flexible enough that I can work from anywhere. That means I'm not squeezing in a quick visit before rushing off to an office — I'm around throughout the day for feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. If I'm staying overnight in your home, I can simply bring my work with me and keep my normal routine going while giving your pet consistent attention morning, noon, and night. Pets aren't an interruption to my day — they're part of it. When I'm in a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific instructions they leave me. For overnight stays or boarding, I settle in just like I would in my own home, so pets have consistent company, playtime, and comfort throughout the day and night rather than being left alone for long stretches. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit covers everything needed — food, water, a bathroom break, and some one-on-one attention — and I check the home to make sure everything is secure before I leave. Regardless of the service, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I'm happy to send photo or text updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
About: I have always had pets , they were part of our lives. I loved them and always took care of them especially taking them to Vet visits. I’m working part time, selling fences. Once I get the opportunity with Rover I would like to do it full time if possible, I love being with Pets . I have a fenced yard and a Dog park , that is walking distance from my house . I also have separate rooms for all pets comfort .
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, or providing extra patience and comfort for shy or anxious animals. I work full-time from 8–4, which means I’m available for early morning walks or drop-ins before work, as well as evenings for dinner and playtime. Weekends are much more flexible, so I can offer longer visits, walks, or house sitting. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily life because I truly enjoy spending time with them, it’s how I unwind and bring balance to my week. Depending on your location I may be able to stop by for mid day potty breaks, or to check in on your fur baby. In My Home: Pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of attention. Dogs enjoy walks, playtime, and rest, while cats have fresh litter boxes, toys, and their own room to relax. A crate is available if needed. I have 2 friendly large dogs who can play together inside if you like. In Your Home: I follow your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free—walks, feeding, play, litter care, and cuddles included. I also keep your home tidy so you return to happy pets and peace of mind.
“Amy is fantastic! She watched our cat, Black Fury, for a week and did an incredible job. She’s a “cat whisperer” who managed to win over our shy boy, and her daily photos/updates, kept us smiling. She also went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy, taking out the trash and bringing in our deliveries. Coming home to a clean house and a happy cat was the perfect end to our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”
About: As an animal owner myself, I know what I look for in a pet sitter, your fur babies will be cared for just as you care for them. I also do photography as a hobby, you will always have cute photos sent to you. I am a stay at home mom, because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to work around what is needed for taking care of your fur babies. I have found that when a new person enters an animals schedule, staying on the schedule they are used to helps everyone adjust. I feel keeping the animal (s) on a schedule they're used to is helpful.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with both large and small breeds. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, senior dogs, and pets that require extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m available to take care of your pups on weekends. I can also provide house sitting on weekends and throughout the week. Additionally, I can take your pup on a 30 minute walk through the day. To provide safety while staying in a client’s home, I keep doors and windows locked, follow all care instructions, maintain the home’s security, monitor the pets closely, and immediately report any emergencies or concerns to the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of different animals from horses to squirrels all my life. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel happy and loved. Feel free to ask me anything in regards to experience! I am currently a full time student at Nova Southeastern University majoring in marine biology. I have an easier schedule this semester so Im free most days at different times. I feed my dog usually once a day because he’s not a very fast eater and picks at it throughout the day but I have experience in hourly feeding for other dogs as well. I also have a fenced backyard at my house in SC but I have experience in walking too.
“Sharon went above and beyond caring for my fur babies!! Extremely attentive to both of their special needs and was Johnny on the spot answering questions and providing pictures, as well as keeping my updated during the day of how things were going. She's a rockstar and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Tara did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for a week! She sent plenty of pics and kept us posted of their status and the local weather on a daily basis. She was very attentive to their needs and we would definitely let her sit for our dogs again in the future!”
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience owning and caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Over the years, I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, gaining a strong understanding of daily routines, exercise needs, and gentle senior care. My experience includes walking & jogging, feeding, administering medications, and providing calm, attentive care. I am comfortable managing multiple pets in the same household and always prioritize safety, consistency, and affection. Dogs have been a part of my family for decades, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Now that I am retired, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I'm full-time which allows me to plan days around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in around work or other obligations. Walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship are spread throughout the day, so pets get consistent attention and aren't left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate medications, special feeding times, and multiple pets. I enjoy the structure that caring for pets brings to my day, and I make it a priority to follow each pet's normal routine, so they feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure and loving environment where pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods. Since I'm retired and home most of the time, I'm able to give pets consistent attention and quickly notice any changes in behavior or health. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I use leashes and safety precautions on walks and make sure doors, gates and living areas are secure at all times. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping the space clean, organized, and stress-free. My goal is to create a safe, familiar environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident, they have left their pets in trustworthy hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grays on Rover is $66.6 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 182 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grays. 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 Grays 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 Grays 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 Grays 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
