“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ethan was absolutely fantastic! He was exceptionally professional, reliable, and always punctual, with excellent, proactive communication throughout our time away. He took wonderful care of both our dogs, and we were especially impressed by how patient and kind he was with our older dog, who can be a bit of a grumpy old man! Ethan really took the time to earn his trust and win him over, which meant a lot to us. He was also an excellent house sitter and took great care of our home while we were gone. We couldn't have been happier with the experience and will absolutely be booking with him again! We highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring sitter who is outstanding with dogs!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!
“Ana was amazing she took banana on lots of walkies and was very good giving her all the love while we were gone on our trip I would definitely book again and recommend you do so if your going out of town.”
“Tally is so sweet and kind! She kept great communication the whole weekend and really loved and cared for my three dogs. The house looked awesome when I came home too! Will definitely use her again.”
“Tiffany was great! She was communicative, sent us videos and pictures and made sure to keep us up to date with how Pete was doing. This is our first time having Pete stay home with a sitter and it was so much less stress for him and us! We would use her again for sure!”
“Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there.

About: I have always loved animals. When I was nine years old I found 5 puppies under a shed - without a mother. I carried them home to get them to a safe environment. I brought many lost dogs and cats home. I am also American Red Cross CPR certified for dogs and cats. Your dog or cat is a very important member of your family !! I will do everything necessary to keep them safe in my care. I retired from nursing and teaching January 2026. I spend time with my grandchildren but looking to spend more time with dogs and/or cats. I have a flexible schedule. I have a friendly dog Noway and live in an apartment with my husband Mark. We also have a dog park close by. Noway is a gentle sweet dog. He loves people and dogs.

Kyrah was wonderful! She is super welcoming, warm, and caring. She took wonderful care of my cat and left my house better than she found it. She is great with communication and sends lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice to travel stress free and have no worries about my pet. Highly recommend her!!
We had a great experience with Galina. She took wonderful care of our dog and cat, and they seemed very comfortable and happy with her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos while we were away as it’s always so nice knowing everyone was doing well. We came home to happy animals and a house that was clean and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit for us again!
We had a great experience with our Arianna! She stayed overnight with Remy and took great care of him. She sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, and was very reliable even when I had some cell service issues and wasn’t always easy to reach. We came home to everything clean and exactly as we left it, and Remy was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!
From the moment I met Rhonda, I knew she would be a great fit for our pets. She asked thoughtful questions and brought a calm demeanor that our dog responded well to. She communicated while we were away. When we got home, our pets were calm and happy. Lovely to work with!
Sarah always takes such good care of my boys . they truly do love her . i was updated every morning and throughout the day on how there night went and what they did throughout the day . it was really nice to get updates on my boys . i always feel safe leaving my boys with hers and honestly my boys are always happy .
Anna was the absolute sweetest with our pups! We loved getting updates and photos during her stay, and especially appreciated how she took the time to get to know each of their personalities and would report back on their individual quirks and how they were doing. You could tell when we returned that they were happy, not stressed, and had been very well cared for. We’re so glad to have found Anna and would rebook with her again without hesitation.
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!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
