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.

“Heather was such a great dog sitter. I had her to drop in visits to let my dogs out and check in on them. One of my dogs had a tougher time and she went out of her way to keep me in the loop on what was going on when I was out of town. Thanks Heather!”

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: What sets me apart is my background as a teacher, which brings patience, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-walking experience. I also have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own special needs Great Dane, giving me a deep understanding of large breeds and pets with unique requirements. I treat every animal like family and always go the extra mile to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a work from home teacher, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and energy to pet care. I love incorporating it into my routine; it’s a rewarding way to stay active, spend time with animals, and provide dependable, thoughtful care when pet owners need it most. I am strictly just walking dogs at the moment. But my dog is treated like family and that’s the same way I would treat your dog. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, and affection. I’m attentive to pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, or extra cuddle time, or maybe a break for water. I follow any specific instructions from owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while they’re with me.

About: I accept dogs, cats, and rodents (Rats, ferrets, ect)! I've taken care of all kinds of animals throughout the years, studying their body language and health signs to know and understand them, every animal is different and has their own personality, even then I've learned to connect with each through caring for them, training, and more! I'm currently very free! I don't have anything holding me back from being the best caretaker for your pets as I can be, I'm free every day of the week! I have a fenced yard and lots of toys and entertainment, though I am not currently looking to bring animals into my own home! In your home I can do my best work, letting out on a schedule, feeding at feeding times, playing and entertainment and any medications they may need! All animals are different, some may have different quirks or traits that need extra care or special routines that I can follow!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Griffith

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Griffith is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 7,341 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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
  • 89% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
