“Maureen did an amazing job. She bonded beautifully with my dog. She also frequently sent me detailed messages and photos about her activities with my dog, as well as the dog's bowel and bladder functions, and eating. Overall she did an outstanding job.”
“She is amazing! Great communication and responsible. Would have her take care of our pups again anytime. She sends lots of pictures throughout the stay and our dogs loved her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was young & we always had a dog and tortoise in our house growing up! When I moved out on my own I adopted a pup of my own (the most lovable Boxer ever) who was my companion for 9 years until he passed away recently from bone cancer. He took daily supplements and medicine, so I’ve got some experience if that is needed. In addition to my own fur baby, I’ve taken care of family & friends’ pets in my home and theirs. Dogs, cats, tortoises, and guinea pigs. Love a good walk and play time with dogs or cats! I’m currently working Monday through Friday, but available for early morning or evening walks and/or drop ins. Weekends available for the above or overnight sitting. Happy to crate your pet or hang out with them, whichever you prefer that won’t stress them out or vary too much from their typical routine.
“Sarah was so amazing!! We absolutely trusted her with our big ol baby of a Great Dane. She kept our house clean and even have a welcome home gift for us too!! Thank you so much Sarah!”
“María watched our 6 month old puppy for several days, and she is fantastic! She gave us frequent updates and took a lot of great pictures. She made sure our pup was well cared for and had fun while we were gone! She is very compassionate and an animal lover. On top of taking great care of our pup, she also took time to make sure our apartment was tidy when we got home. We will definitely have María look after our pup in the future!”
“Angie took great care of Ziggy while we were away for almost two weeks. She took him on lots of walks and sent us pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was happy and well cared for. Ziggy seemed to really enjoy his time with her, and we came home to a happy pup! Would definitely book Angie again in the future!”
“Courtney did a great job with our typically anxious dog. She came over to meet us earlier in the day, arrived early for her assigned time and bonded well with our pup. She sent us multiple photos and a video throughout her evening of dog sitting him. Looking forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: I offer a distinctive blend of experience and passion for pet sitting, specializing in caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to wise seniors. Through years of hands-on experience, including caring for my own cherished cat and others' pets, I have refined my skills and approach to pet care. My unwavering commitment to reliability means you can trust me to be there whenever your furry family member needs attention. With me, your pet will not only receive expert care but also genuine love and affection, ensuring they feel safe and content in your absence. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved companion. Working from home gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule to suit the needs of your pets. Whether it’s rain or shine, I’m happy to take your furry friends for their walks! For dogs, I have experience walking strong and reactive dogs, as well as caring for senior dogs. I'm attentive to their needs, whether it's administering medication or noticing when they're feeling wobbly or experiencing hip pain during walks. I ensure they get the right exercise in any weather while keeping their comfort and safety in mind. For cats, I offer comprehensive care, including keeping their litter box clean and engaging them with enrichment activities. I also stay on top of grooming, such as nail trimming and teeth brushing, to keep them healthy and happy. Your pets will always be in great hands with me!
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“This is the second time Galina/GiGi has watched our pets and the house is always just as we left it. My sweet old girl is comfortable with her and I know all is in good hands when we are away! She will send pictures and videos and updates as needed. We highly recommend! Thank you!! 😊”
“Crystal was terrific with our 2 dogs - I think they were disappointed when we came home. This is our first time using Rover, and Crystal had positive reviews from other pet owners, and we can't agree more. She was friendly and accommodating with us, and she had a genuine enthusiasm and affinity with our dogs. During our trip, she sent texts, photos, and videos. Our minds were eased as we saw how happy our dogs were with her. We were able to relax and enjoy our short vacation knowing that they were safe and genuinely well-cared for by Crystal.”
About: Hi, I'm Eda! I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My grandpa had a beautiful farm in Temecula, where I grew up helping care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ducks, and even one very mean buck. From an early age, I also looked after my neighbors' pets, and I loved every minute of it. My family is from Turkey, where there's a deep appreciation for animals, especially dogs and cats. In my culture, animals are considered part of the family, and that's exactly how I've always treated them. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm the friend who always finds the pet at the party, stops to admire every dog on a walk (with permission, of course), and can't resist saying hello to my neighborhood cat. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, attention, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and work part-time from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, or simply some extra companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work from home part-time, giving me flexibility to provide attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and crate preferences. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Will was amazing with Willow and Wick. He was timely, communicative, and reliable. He was so great even our shy cat came out to hang out with him. He even took our puppy for her first run! He sent us pictures and videos of them everyday and if we had questions throughout our trip he responded promptly to them. We will definitely be booking Will for any future things we may need with our fur babies!”
“Gretchen was great with our dogs and home. She helped with a short notice stay and responded quickly to our request. Her communication was great and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. If happily have her house sit for us anytime!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I grew up with them and they were a huge part of my life and what made me love animals so much. Each and every one of them were my best friends. My experience ranges from small to medium/large dogs. I grew up with a chihuahua, who notably loved to steal food, which taught me at a young age to be aware of where I leave things! As I got older I took the lead in taking care of my family’s poodle, who was later accompanied by a German shepherd husky mix and a pug, whose owners could no longer take care of them. Introducing the three of them taught me a lot about how dogs interact with each other during big changes. I took care of each of them into senior life and learned how to be there when they needed me most. Now that I’ve moved away from my family home, I’m excited to care for pets who need a cozy and safe place to stay, a nice walk, or simply someone dependable to check in on them. I’m lucky to work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I live in a safe, clean, and comfortable apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get regular walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I always follow each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine as closely as possible. I also keep food and other items safely out of reach and can accommodate crates or other routines if needed.
“truly the best of the best!! so flexible with changing plans, excellent communication, above and beyond care. as a nervous dog mom i was able to go on my trip without a single worry. truly could not recommend enough!!!”

Maureen has taken care of our fur babies and few times now. We wouldn't trust anyone else to do so now. Our two dogs get so excited when they see her. They know there will be extra walks, lots of attention, and plenty of snuggles. She spoils our kitties! They love her and know she loves them too. We love the twice a day reports and pictures! We know you will too.
Jenny took amazing care about Fredo and was very communicative during the whole process. She was even able to extend her stay on a short moment's notice. She took extra special care of the house and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for responsible and reliable dog/house sitter.
Crystal was terrific with our 2 dogs - I think they were disappointed when we came home. This is our first time using Rover, and Crystal had positive reviews from other pet owners, and we can't agree more. She was friendly and accommodating with us, and she had a genuine enthusiasm and affinity with our dogs. During our trip, she sent texts, photos, and videos. Our minds were eased as we saw how happy our dogs were with her. We were able to relax and enjoy our short vacation knowing that they were safe and genuinely well-cared for by Crystal.
Bobbie was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was very attentive to my young Australian Shepherd and ensured he was engaged and cared for while I was out of town. She is also an excellent communicator and left my residence in excellent shape for my return. I would absolutely recommend and hire her again!
Mariah was truly amazing. I was gone for 5 days and my dog started coughing seriously the 3rd day. She kept me informed by text including video, and, on her own contacted the Rover veterinarian (I didn't now there is one!) for advice which was very helpful. We ultimately decided she should take him to Urgent Care which she did willingly. She sat with the vet while they called me on the phone and she made very clear notes for me to use on my return. Mariah was up with Joey in the middle of the night for two nights - and after visiting Urgent Care, she gave him medicine at 3AM. And, when I talked to her, she seemed much more concerned with interrupting my vacation than that she was losing sleep and having to do more than expected. She sounded so loving to Joey the entire time - and thought her way through a number of possibilities to relieve Joey's distress. AND when she left, she had washed the sheets and towels and the house was as clean as when I left. I could not have expected more from anyone. She was absolutely terrific - and I am so grateful.
Angie took great care of Ziggy while we were away for almost two weeks. She took him on lots of walks and sent us pictures and videos every day, which we really appreciated and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was happy and well cared for. Ziggy seemed to really enjoy his time with her, and we came home to a happy pup! Would definitely book Angie again in the future!
Stephanie was absolutely amazing with my Australian Shepherd and two cats! She walked my dog several times every day, even took her to dog beach, and she made sure my pets were never alone for more than a few hours. She also sent multiple updates every day with plenty of great pictures. I felt completely at ease while on my vacation. I came home to a clean house and a very happy, healthy fur family. I highly recommend her services. She’s the best!
Milla did a wonderful job watching over my two elderly dogs. She was very friendly, quick to respond and sent me photo updates which I greatly appreciated. It’s always nice to feel at ease leaving town knowing your pet is in good hands and Milla did just that for me. I would highly recommended Milla and her services!
After years of searching for a trustworthy, personable, and knowledgeable in-home pet sitter, we are so grateful to have found Anna. Anna is dependable, caring, and has all the skills needed to confidently care for multiple dogs. From the moment she met our pups, she formed an immediate connection with each of them, despite their very different personalities, preferences, and obedience levels. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, and they love her right back. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about Anna—although we'd rather not praise her too much because we'd love to keep her all to ourselves! Thank you, Anna, for giving us the peace of mind to travel without a single moment of worry, knowing that our pups and our home are receiving the very best care!
I’m always so grateful to have Sarah look after my sweet old pup when I’m away! And this time Sarah also cared for my friend’s dog who was visiting. Sarah always makes the time to ensure that she’s up to date on any changes and she even came by for an extra meet and greet to meet my friend’s dog before her stay. I love getting all of her updates, and knowing that the pups are loved so fully while I am away makes it easier for me to be present and enjoy my time out of town.
Katherine provides outstanding care for our dog, Bailey, who gets so excited the moment she walks through the door. Beyond her excellent pet care, is a fantastic communicator. We receive updates, notes, and photos daily, which makes being away so much easier. Most importantly, I have complete peace of mind knowing she is in our home; she is incredibly reliable, professional, and treats our home with the utmost respect. She is easily the best dog sitter we have ever worked with, and we feel so lucky to have found her! 🐶
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Marshall. From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure both Marshall and I felt comfortable. Marshall was adjusting to a new living situation, and Sarah was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to his needs and routine. She provided excellent care, kept me updated, and gave me great peace of mind while I was working long night shifts. It was obvious that Marshall was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection while I was away. Sarah was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and tidy. I truly appreciated how considerate she was of both my space and Marshall’s needs. I would not hesitate to book with Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Grossmont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grossmont on Rover is $45 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 6,293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grossmont. 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 Grossmont 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 Grossmont 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 Grossmont 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 with handling special pet needs in Grossmont. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
