“Jenna did great with all 7 of my animals- including a medically needy dog that needed monitor with food/water intake/and medications. Jenna kept the house clean, helped with extra stuff, as well as dealt with house malfunctions. Will definitely use and recommend Jenna to care for your animal needs.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“We give Melissa our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! She was a pet sitter for us for 6 days/5 nights! We just moved to the area and needed to find a responsible person to take care of our dog while we were out of town. Melissa was super responsive, highly professional and extremely trustworthy. Our pet has a significant medical condition and Melissa kept us updated and was extremely comfortable handling any special needs. She left our home in better condition that we left it. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and we so appreciated it! We have used many pet sitters in the past, but Melissa was a step above all others!”
“My two puppies were very well cared for by Anne. It was my first time leaving them, so she sent lots of pics and text updates, which eased my mind. She is very good with our fury friends and I would highly recommend her. She is very attentive and did a wonderful job with my pups! She is well worth the cost for great care snd piece of mind. She’s a keeper!”
About: I’ve gained experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, monitoring behavior, assisting with medication administration, feeding, cleaning, handling dogs safely, and using de-escalation techniques when pets became anxious or overstimulated. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight care, drop-in visits, and walks for both dogs and cats. I am committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience as a dog attendant at a dog daycare/boarding center! I have cared for both large and small dogs, cats, and fish! I am very flexible with time for your pets, all I ask is for you to let me know at least a day in advance for booking:) I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and responsive throughout every booking. I love sending lots of photos/videos, and leave a report card as well!
“Tina did an amazing job! Our dogs loved hanging out with her! It was the first time we had anyone stay overnight with them and she completely put our minds at ease . She’s reliable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and loves your animals like her own. She’s prompt (even started early), sent lots of photos, great communication, and she did excellent with our anxious gal. We’ll definitely be in touch, for future visits!”
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
“Kristy was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I first contacted her, she was incredibly responsive and communicative. Before my trip, she came to my home to meet my dogs, and I immediately knew she was the perfect fit. My dogs are truly family to me, so finding someone I trust is extremely important. Throughout my time away, Kristy sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my fur babies were happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them as if they were her own. When I returned home, my house was clean and my dogs were relaxed, happy, and obviously very well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Kristy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾💕”
“Gracie did a great job! She gave Simba walks and handled his separation anxiety well. She sent pictures and communicated daily. She also left the house as good if not better than when we left. We would use her again.”

“We had Alex watch our pups during our wedding weekend, and they loved her. Each picture she sent of them they were clearly having a great time, doggy smiles all around. 10/10 would book again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grimms
Alexis was great! My dog Dasher is an enthusiastic little girl, but when she saw Alexis coming up the sidewalk to our house, it was like the two of them had been best pals forever. Alexis responded in kind, and I was immediately confident that she was an excellent fit to take care of my pets while I was out of town. She kept me filled in on how things were going and on the day that I came home, she checked in to let me know that she had swung by to let Dasher out one last time. All in all, if you want great care for your pets, Alexis is who you need!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grimms
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 394 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grimms. 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 Grimms 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 Grimms 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 Grimms 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.
