“Maureen is an exceptional pet sitter. She took care of our fur babies when we were on a 15 day cruise. She sent pictures, short videos and updates every day! She's very conscientious about our pets physical and emotional well-being. We never worry about our pets when she's taking care of them.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
“Maria stayed in our home with our dog for 9 days and we and our dog absolutely love her. He is a senior with special needs including needing 6 medications per day (liquid, tablet, and capsule). She sent us frequent updates and photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy pup. We already booked her again for our next trip. She genuinely loves the dogs in her care like her own and we are so glad to have found her!”
“Jackie was amazing. She spent so much time with our dogs, walked them, played with them, and kept us updated. Sometime our older dog can be difficult but she did great with him. She also took great care of the house too! I will be using Jackie every time I can as a sitter and I highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my family, but I’ve learned the true value of being a dog mom during the pandemic. Taking care of Winnie, my 6 year old Beagle, has changed me for the better. Izzy, our 4 year old Beagle-mix has added a zest to life that I never knew existed. I have trained my pups in obedience and a couple of party tricks (they’ve learned the bay-ing on their own). My availability is open. I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my previous job and have been loving it. The highlight of my days are spending time with my pups. I have a fenced-in yard at my house. I also have a number of crates and pens. I know where my dogs are 24/7. We have an indoor camera to monitor them and they have air tags on for location identification if need be.
“Tahniiyah was AMAZING! She was so great with my dog who is typically very anxious around new people. She was on time, very communicative, respectful of our home, and all around amazing person. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: Hello! I am a Special Education Behavioralist and have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats! I grew up having pets through. I have been house sitting/walking dogs for about 4 years. I enjoy going on walks by myself and even more so when there's a dog to enjoy it with! I have been relied on to give medication, feed and/or bathe any and all breeds of dogs. Your fur baby will receive endless amounts of attention from me focusing on safety and happiness! I love taking in all the dog time, while my living circumstances do not allow me to have a pet of my own! Thanks so much for taking the time to read a little about me. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet soon!! I work Monday to Friday 8-4 (sometimes earlier then 4) and I am always free after work. Weekends my schedule is very open and available. I have house/animal sat since I was in high school for family friends. Over the past 4 years I have stared up again for friends or friends of a friend.
“Emily did a great job with our dogs for a week over the Christmas holiday. She provided daily photo updates and cleaner the room and bathroom she stayed in before we returned. We are appreciative of her care and attention to Rosie and Wesley!”
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.
About: My cat, Sally, and I are a furrmidable force to be reckoned with. We've been together for almost eight years and she finds my pawful puns hissterical. (Too many puns?) I've also had a dog for a year before he passed on. I have a baby kitten as well so my experience is purrtty well rounded. Cats find me entertaining and I like to think that I can keep up with most dogs energy levels. I often tell jokes to my pets and I hope your dog will howl with laughter with me. I like to go for walks and skate around the city, and I would love company if your dog is willing. They'll come home feline good! (I'll work on my dog puns!) I have an open schedule though I do prefer afternoon walks. I have reliable transportation and am happy to go to a dog park if the dog is up for it! I've dog and cat sat for my friends for many years and know how to keep the place tidy! I live by the code of leaving the place cleaner than I found it so I often do a vacuum or sweep at the end of the stay.
“Jenny took great care of our pack while we were away. She was so organized and communicative from the start that we had complete confidence in her and she did not let us down. She was quick to respond when we were in touch while we were on our trip and we came home to 2 happy cats and 2 happy dogs and a clean and tidy house. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Narges was very nice and professional and even agreed to show up ahead of the housesitting dates to meet our cat, Olive. She sent us pictures and updates multiple times per day and the house was clean and neat when we returned.”
“Aviendha was absolutely amazing with my Batman and Rosie. My babies are very particular and special and she was very patient and loving with them. I loved that she provided constant updates and pictures. She also left my house just as I left it. I can confidently say I would trust Aviendha with my babies and house again. Highly recommend Aviendha, you won't regret it!”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about the little things that make a house feel like home. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal. I’m happy to go beyond the basics of feeding and walking pets. Whether it’s keeping up with their routines, giving them extra attention, watering plants, bringing in packages, collecting mail, or simply making sure everything around the house is in order, I take pride in being someone you can count on. I’m responsible, easygoing, and respectful of your home and your pets’ routines. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing that everything and everyone back home is being well cared for. I want you to come home to happy pets, a well-looked-after home, and complete peace of mind! Retired and looking to spend time with your pets while caring for your home as well! Trustworthy, clean looking to play with your dog or cat! I’ve had pets under all different circumstances and conditions but their safety and overall happiness is what makes me love what I do. Looking forward to caring for yours as I would my own
“Fantastic! I had a last minute babysitting emergency because my dog sitter fell back home fell through. I had to bring my two senior special needs pugs on my weekend away to visit my son. We had important dinner and I absolutely couldn’t leave my pugs alone in a new place. I reached out the morning of and gave her my story. She said that normally she doesn’t book last minute but would make an exception in our case. She saved the day and the dinner! She was a calming influence and my dogs loved her! If I lived in San Diego, I’d be a regular!”
“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!”
“Dee watched my three dogs for the weekend and was amazing with them! One of them is a bit aggressive and another is extremely shy, and she was able to make it work with both of them. She came over beforehand to learn about them and it was apparent that she is really knowledgeable about dog behavior. She provided updates and followed the instructions I left for her. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future! 😊”

Maureen is the real deal. I was out of the country for a full week and didn't worry once, which for me is a small miracle. She sent regular updates and photos, followed every instruction to the letter, and my animals came through happy, relaxed, and frankly unbothered that I was gone. Rude of them, but a testament to Maureen. She's reliable, warm, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn't trust anyone else, and I book her for every trip. Six stars if they let me.
Carolynn took such great care of our dog while we were out of town for a few days. She made sure he had a balance of outdoor play/walks and indoor snuggles/ downtime. She communicated regularly with text updates & photos, which we loved! We recommend Carolynn for her trustworthy pet/house-sitting!
We have consistently had Sarah come to stay with our 2 dogs and she always goes above and beyond to take care of them. This time one of them was not well, Sarah wasted no time at all contacting us about her concerns. She had to take the dog to the vets and administered the medication provided and even amended her plans on the final day to be able to stay and give the final dose of medication. Sarah is honestly amazing and we had complete confidence that she would take amazing care of our pets.

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Grossmont is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $110 per night. 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 6,331 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grossmont. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
