About: I’ve always had an innate love for animals and have lucky to grow up caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with puppies, helping them learn good habits, build confidence, and develop basic manners through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs often need extra attention, a gentler approach, and care tailored to their comfort and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, help reinforcing training, daily walks, or your senior companion needs a slower-paced routine and extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide attentive, loving care. ❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently in nursing school two days a week, but I’m available the other five days to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care! My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. 🐾 I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I tailor my care to each dog’s age, personality, and needs. For puppies, I provide patience, supervision, frequent potty breaks, and positive reinforcement to help encourage good habits. For senior dogs, I take a gentler approach, allowing plenty of rest, keeping walks at a comfortable pace, and giving them extra attention and affection. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I’m happy to reinforce existing training and follow your preferred care routines to help your pet feel at home. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Every pet is family to me, and my goal is to make sure your furry friend feels happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way!

About: I have a long history of pet care, and have extensive experience with the Shar Pei breed. I have owned Shar Pei's for over 25yrs and have done some rescue work with them as well. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs that may need extra care such as meds or extra attention. Can't imagine life without them they just bring such a joy into our lives. You can have confidence in knowing while I'm taking care of your pet I will treat, and love them as my own. I know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and will take the best of care of your 🐾🐾babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets are never left unattended for long periods. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident knowing their pets are a priority. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I prioritize building trust by following the pet’s normal routine, maintaining a clean and secure space, and ensuring constant supervision and care. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament, dietary needs, and any special instructions, and I take precautions such as secure doors, leash use, and hazard-free surroundings to keep them safe at all times. My goal is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where pets feel cared for, protected, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Because of Lisa we were able to leave our almost 6 month old puppy without worry. She was competent in every way and even better, loving and caring with our pup. She sent many photos while we were gone the 3 days. We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean and neat home. Lisa will be the first I contact when I need a sitter again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grove City
EJ is absolutely fantastic. Two JRs and a third puppy. We would not leave the new puppy with the two unsocialized Jacks to many people. EJ is probably better with them than we are. She knows a great deal and loves animals. We will sorely miss her for the summer.

The average cost of House Sitting in Grove City is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $59 per night.

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 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.
