“Joy stayed over and watched our two dogs for a night. She was great and went over and beyond what we expected. She sent us updates with pictures of the dogs, which we really appreciated. Our house even looked cleaner than we had left it. We definitely would have her over again!”
“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”
“Donna is a fantastic pet and home sitter. Communicates very well, house was immaculate, very responsible person! Most importantly, I noticed our dog was very relaxed when we arrived home too. Maybe even a little disappointed we were home. 😊 Thank you Donna!”
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about April. From the very beginning, they she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand our pets’ routines and personalities, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected even while we were away. When we returned home, everything was spotless and our pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Brittany is a wonderful person to care for your pet. She is very professional and caring. Brittany communicated every day with cute pics of our dog. What a trooper; our power went out the first night she was there and she texted not to worry. Will definitely use Brittany again.”
“Sam went above and beyond for us! She was a fantastic communicator being sure to ask questions and send much appreciated updates. She even noticed our pups ear infection and sent samples to her vet to get addressed before we got home. We could not recommend Sam’s services enough!!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I adjust my care to match their energy levels, medical needs, and routines. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and any night after 4 pm. There will always be a trusted adult at home to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard and a border collie living at home. He is extremely friendly and his best friend is my brother's teacup Yorkie, so he gets along with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments!
“Alana showed a calm demeanor that my 80 lb German shepherd puppy responded to very well. the meet and greet was a good idea. Alana and Freya enjoyed playing ball together and Freya was happy hanging out with her. I would definitely ask for Alana again.”
“Alyssa did a fabulous job with our senior lab mix. She was communicative and took wonderful care of him and our home while we were away. She administered medicine and gave him the space he needed to warm up to her. Would absolutely hire her again.”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our 11yr old pup who is going blind & almost completely deaf! She followed our instructions, kept him happy, took him on walks, gave him medicine, cuddled with him, basically the works! She sent pictures & updates about 3x a day, which made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Jessica!!”
“Felicia was so wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog and cat as well as our home while we were away for 10 days. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures throughout the trip so we could see our fur babies were doing fine. When we arrived home, there was a note and beautiful bouquet of flowers. She was very thoughtful and responsible. We highly recommend her!”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time using this pair. Fantastic communication and care for our boy. He is always happy to us when we get home but clearly very well taken care of!”
“Jaylin was perfect! They came over before the stay to meet my dog and get a feel for my place, and they had an amazing time together while I was gone with lots of shared photos. Will definitely book Jaylin again and recommend to my friends!”
“Wanted to follow up with a feedback regarding Jorden pet sitting,. Like many others looking for a reliable and affordable pet sitter I came across Jordan's profile. Jorden has been exactly what we're looking for. Jordan has earned our respect and Jorden has made it easy to communicate with. Which is why we're trusting jorden with our pets.”
“I am so grateful to have found Christina to take care of my girl, Honey. As she’s gotten older, Honey hasn’t been able to handle the stress of boarding anymore, she was always coming home sick and stressed out. Christina stayed in my home with Honey, allowing her to stay on her normal feeding, walking, and medication schedule the entire time I was away. Christina shared updates, videos and photos every day so I knew Honey was okay and having fun. Having that peace of mind allowed me to truly relax on my vacation for the first time in years! And I came home to my house cleaner than I left it, with a safe, happy, healthy doggo! Christina is the best, she followed my care instructions to the letter and I really believe she treated Honey like her own dog. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be trusting her with Honey again the future!”

Sarah is an amazing pet sitter! She was so great with our pets and able to give our cat James pills twice per day. She went over and above , watering plants and vacuuming . She kept food and water bowls clean and fresh! Cat liter scooped everyday. Dogs were happy and exercised and played with and loved !
Sarah is such a gem! We felt so lucky to have her watching our little guy while we were gone. She was super responsive in communication, and thought ahead for all our dog's needs. She was flexible in accommodating him at her house and open to seeing how he responded to the new environment(s) he was exposed to. She was really attuned to him which made it a smooth transition for him. Would completely recommend Sarah! She's kind, patient, and attuned to animals. A great find!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Groton on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,253 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.

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.
