About: I've always had a dog ever since I was born. I've had a Pit bull, Dachshund, Golden Retriever, as well as a Great Dane. My family and neighbors would always have me take care of their pets while they went away. I'm currently working part-time and playing softball in the evenings 2 days a week. I'm available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8am - 9pm. In my home I have a Great Dane and a cat. I make sure they have everything they may need before I go to work and they are cared and loved for. making sure they get extra snuggles play time and fun treats.
“Debra was great with our Barley while we were out of town for 3 nights! She sent me a picture daily and we came home to a happy dog. She also brought in our mail without asking her to. Thanks Debra! Hope to have you dog sit again soon for our baby!”
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“Catlyn did a great job with my 3 babies. They're a bit high maintenance but that didn't faze her a bit. Great communication and we received text updates and pics. We'll definitely use her again.”
“Karen did an amazing job at our home with our 3 cats during a 17 day vacation. She came to meet our pets before we left and they were comfortable with her immediately. When we returned home, the house was clean and pets were happy and healthy, and they were brushed (3 long hair cats). One cat needed medicine twice daily which was no problem for Karen. She sent photos or videos every day to let us see how they were doing and they seemed relaxed and playful with her. We enjoyed our time away and weren't concerned about our home or pets because we knew they were in good hands. We feel that Karen is conscientious and trustworthy, and she is a true animal lover. We were lucky to find such a great pet sitter, and will definitely ask her to stay with our pets in the future. :)”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”
“Holly and Jace watched my 2 dogs while I was away for a business trip, they took such great care of them and I was able to focus on work and not stress out about anything at home. They were great at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures! When I came home, the house was clean and my pups were happy and healthy. I will definitely trust them to watch my dogs again in the future!”
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”

“Veronica was wonderful with Chloe who has severe separation anxiety. She was gentle and kind and read Chloe very well. She was sensitive and soft-spoken. She arrived on time and sent several photos of Chloe’s activities through the day. I highly recommend Veronica and will certainly request her again.”

“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

“If you are going out of town and want the absolute best dog sitter by a landslide - pick Eni. We went out of town for 4 nights and she took photos and chatted with us multiple times a day to check in. I cannot say enough, honestly.

We are so thrill to have found Sara! She tended to our three small dogs while we were away. They were calm and glad to welcome us home! Sara was so kind to leave us a lovely thank you gift for choosing her. We have already booked Sara for an upcoming sitting job while we are away! Sara was extremely attentive, caring and her demeanor immediately calmed our dogs. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, we highly recommend Sara. Both you and your pets will be at ease!
Penny is great. I had complete peace of mind while traveling. She is very attentive to schedules, needs and wants. The pets were relaxed and happy while I was gone and upon arriving home. It is apparent that Penny really strives to keep pets comfortable and loved during a time that is stressful for them. Penny is a blessing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Grove City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grove City on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grove City. 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 Grove City 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 Grove City 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 Grove City 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.
