“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our dogs, Nico and Nora, while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always punctual, incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely loving with both of our dogs. She also made such a great impression during our meet-and-greet by being so sweet and patient with my little girl, which meant a lot to us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring hands while we were away. Katie is truly a wonderful person, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. My family has trusted me to care for their pets over the years, whether that means feeding them, taking them for walks, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I also had the opportunity to regularly care for a family’s dog for over two years, which gave me valuable hands-on experience and taught me how important it is to understand each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and want to make an important part of my life. I plan to make caring for pets a priority and dedicate the time and attention needed to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I understand that pets are family, and I want to provide them with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own pets. I’m excited to build a routine around pet sitting and create a dependable experience for both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in someone’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any specific needs they may have. I also pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings to help prevent accidents and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.

About: I’m new to rover, but I have had dogs as pets my entire life. I have helped train them (on very basic concepts), and cared for them in every other way possible. In regards to medication I have administered it to my personal animal through the use of pocket pills. I have cared for/watched over friends animals many times including walks, dog park if requested, feedings, spending time with them, and overnight stays. I work part time and on the days I work, it is likely from 5am-2pm. I also travel for work for long stretches at a time. I will respond as soon as I can to your messages. I am trying to build back my savings account, and look forward to hearing from you! I work about 30 hours a week at a part time job. I only work mornings, so sometimes working by 4:30am, but I’m almost always off by 12:00pm, with the occasional afternoon appointment. I can play and entertain your dog in their home, as they are most comfortable there. I have full confidence in handling large dogs and utilizing their training.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. My first dog was a beagle pup and I have taken care of dozens of breeds of dogs since then, from chihuahuas to great danes. I have walked the largest of breeds and have trained them as well. I have had friends and family members entrust their dogs to me to care for weekly stays as well as to exercise regularly. Your fur babies will be in good care with me! Also whenever I see a lost dog running around I try my best to catch it and get it back to its owners. My son has been with me several times when this has happened and now he does it too. I am a stay-at-home mom so I can make my availability whatever it needs to be for you and your best fur friend (within reason and safety limits). I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog named Flash. He loves playing with other dogs that come stay with us. The best thing about him is his absolute obedience to my commands. He truly is the smartest dog I've ever had! 💜 While caring for your dog at your home I will follow all of your rules and respect how you wish for your dog to be cared for. Your dogs will be treated like family in my home. I love to take the dogs outside to play or just to soak up some sun when the weather cooperates. Snuggles come at no extra cost in my house, and your pup will be relaxed and happy when you come back. I follow all instructions given to me by my client and give updates on their well-being throughout the duration of their stay. I answer texts and calls quickly. I will not accept dogs that display aggression to other dogs or humans under any circumstances for boarding in my home.

About: I have 2 dogs; a 3 year old 5lb Morkie and an 11 year old Chocolate Lab mix. I’ve cared for them my whole life. I LOVE dogs!! I don’t care if they’re a bit mean or the sweetest dog i’ve ever met, i will love them with all my heart!! I am taking care of my grandma and going to school 4 days of the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays I can work after 6 pm. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays i’m available all day :) My home is off limits, as my apartment doesn’t allow dogs. I will always prioritize your dogs needs from mine. potty time, food, water, and whatever else they might need will always be my top priority.

About: I have grown up with a family of many people and even more dogs. I have dog sat for my family and friends for the last decade. I have given daily medicine and injections to miniature pinschers, German shepherds, and Boston terriers. I have walked large dogs and small. I love sharing a bed and chair with all breeds. I love running and jogging and entertaining dogs. I am available 24 hours on the weekends. During the week I work virtually. I love having the company of dogs and cats. Walks are so much more fun with all four-legged friends! I am available after 5 pm during the week and any time on the weekends. I would love to meet your pup or kitten ahead of my first walk or drop-in visit. I will make sure that your animals are comfortable with me before approaching them in your home. I will make sure to remove my shoes and to dry your pup's feet (if you would like) before returning inside after a walk.

“Allie was wonderful with my dogs and put me at ease. It is so hard to find a trustworthy and reliable human that you trust to take care of your beloved dogs. She was timely, sent pictures, and our golden girls really adored her! To top it off, she washed my dog's bowls after their lunch! That was so unexpected, but it was sweet surprise to come home to clean bowls. She definitely goes the extra mile. I would definitely use Allie again, ven for overnight pet sitting while we are out of town.”

My dog is scared of strangers so I haven’t had much success with dog sitters who aren’t family or close friends in the past. Gabriela was able very patient and was able to earn her trust. She also gave a very detailed review with pictures, which was appreciated. I’d definitely recommend Gabriela!

Dave is a top tier sitter! From the initial meet and greet, our two dogs warmed up to him instantly.He has that natural dog lover energy that pups immediately trust. ​During his drop-in visits while we were away, he went above and beyond to make sure they weren't just checked on, but truly entertained and cared for. He spent quality time playing with them, and knowing they were in such good hands gave us total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking Dave again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter!

Jennifer is responsive, responsible, accommodating and just overall terrific. We were in a pinch and she generously provided holiday care to our two old dogs with very short notice. She reassured us throughout all the visits with pictures and reports. If all Pet Sitters were like Jennifer there sure would be lots and lots of happy animals and owners. We feel very lucky to have found her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Griffith on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,283 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Griffith. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Griffith. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
