About: I've cared for the fuzzy family members of friends, family friends, and work friends for years. My own pets have been mostly senior rescues from owners who could no longer care for them. I have experience with medication, drop-ins, house-sitting, and more. I am currently an artist with open commissions, so my schedule is flexible and made for your pets. I usually crochet or draw when I care for lower-energy animals, and love playing with those with more energy. I am a no-shoes-in-house kind of person, and can bring separate house shoes if preferred. I am no stranger to cleaning up pet accidents. I keep to the living areas of the home, unless the pets are kept elsewhere, and provide a quiet presence for more introverted or timid animals. I ensure to adhere to the idea of "leave no trace", as though your home is the natural habitat for your pets.

“Carolyn watched our high energy pups for our wedding weekend and they were absolutely obsessed with her. Louie doesn’t take to everyone and she was cuddled up with Carolyn all weekend. Definitely recommend!!!”

“Nicholas was the best!!! He checked in couple times a day with photos over a very long and hot weekend. It was obvious from the pictures that our dog was very happy. We felt that she and home were in great hands. Thanks again Nicholas!”
“I am thrilled to have found Anna! She watched my puppy for an overnight stay and it was a great experience. Anna ensured she understood and followed all of my directions and checklists! Even though I am an over protective dog mom, Anna never made me feel over the top or like an inconvenience. She sent me photos and always asked questions if she had them! I am so excited I have found Anna and hope she can be my puppy’s primary dog sitter long term!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Groton
Ariana took wonderful care of my 2 dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. Before our trip she asked many questions about their care and routine. She was communicative and very responsible. She provided updates on their health (one of dogs was on a new food regimen) and shared many photos and updates. I felt grateful knowing they were in good hands while we were away! Also, our house was immaculate when we returned, she took good care of everything. I will definitely book Ariana again!
Sara did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She kept us posted with updates and photos each day. Our dog was happy to see us when we got home and didn't act anxious, which tells me she felt comfortable and happy during her week with Sara! Our home was also well taken care of. We will definitely book Sara again!
Terry was great, as always! We used her for 12 days and nights while we were on vacation and had absolutely no worries. Our pups and cats bonded with her right away. She is attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving with all of our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). We truly appreciate the care, love, and time she gives them while we're away. It's such a comfort knowing our pets are in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend her!
We can't say enough about Kiera. She took such great care of our dogs and our home. We had a blizzard while she was sitting, and I was a nervous wreck being so far away. Kiera handled this storm like it was a nothing, shoveling through almost 3 feet of snow, starting and keeping our wood stove going to keep the house warm in the event the power went out, making sure my dogs were safe and coxing them outside in the storm to make sure they went to the bathroom. After a stressful trip home, we entered to a spotless house and very happy dogs. I would without a doubt use her again, and can't thank her enough for allowing us to enjoy our vacation knowing she had everything under control.
Dawn quickly won the trust of our very skittish little pup -- more quickly than I've seen Izzy take to anyone! After Dawn was in the house maybe 10 minutes, Izzy was asking her to play with her. And Dawn is a good player! -- as well as an excellent communicator, sending us regular photos and reports. She did not seem put off by Izzy's somewhat complicated dinner regimen, and she took good care of our house as well as of our pup. We are grateful to have found Dawn, and Izzy hopes she will come back for another sit or a walk, soon.
Rosy has been house sitting and walking my dog for a few months now. I can confidently say that Rosy is the best sitter I’ve met on Rover! She is such a wonderful and sweet person who puts a smile on my face when I see her. Caring and patient with my anxious/reactive dog who has a lot of quirks and special needs. I can tell she feels kindness and love for my dog and other pets alike. Rosy will pay close attention to any and all instructions you may leave for her and follow through on them with ease. She has always been accommodating with scheduling and provided clear communication. Added bonus, she’s clean and respectful of my home and never leaves a mess behind when she housesits. Thank you always Rosy!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Groton on Rover is $61.05 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 493 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Groton. 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 Groton 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 Groton 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 Groton 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 Groton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
