“First time using Taylor and we are very happy with her communication and how she treated our cat-Koko. We will definitely book her again during our upcoming trips. Thanks!”
About: I grew up with 8 dogs in New York City. Yorkis & Shih Tzus to be exact! I’ve worked as a Vet Assistant before I moved to Florida & at an emergency pet hospital on Long Island. I also worked at Petland, which gave me some exotic animal experience such as caring for reptiles, fish, birds, hamsters, & chinchillas as well. My friends & neighbors have trusted me with their furry friends for multiple occasions! I work as a local, personal delivery shopper in the freelance business. This allows me to maintain open availability for care & play time with your fur babies! I’m happy to follow instructions, routines, diets, & any other requests that makes you & your pet feel like my home is their second home! I can supply a crate, weewee pads, food & water bowls, bedding, & treats! Doggie ice cream is a hit at my house!
“Lauren took care of my cat (Georgia) while I was out of town. She was responsible, caring, and reliable. I would definitely use Lauren again to check-in in Georgia whenever I am away.”
About: I am available for in home pet care and house sitting, along with plant care, gardening, yard and pool maintenance. I have not completed any sits through Rover yet, but have been a pet sitter with TrustedHousesitters since 2018 and MindMyHouse since 2022. I am available for short and long term in home pet sits anywhere (but depends on where I’m traveling at that time). I am a snowbird and travel South Nov-April. I live in NE Indiana the rest of the year. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I’m also flexible with dog size and breed, but probably will decline sitting large breeds if we cannot do a meet and greet or they are not trained. I have sat for many senior pets, puppies, kittens and multiple animals at once. I prefer to sit for small-medium breeds, but will sit for large breeds if there’s only one and they are not difficult to walk. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit, depending on where I am at the moment. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need. I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. Please see my reviews from my pet sitting experience via TrustedHousesitters.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Pit Bulls, French Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Cane Corsos, and many others. My love for animals goes far beyond simply caring for them—they truly become family. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. If you choose me as your pet sitter, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will be treated with patience, compassion, and plenty of love every step of the way Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I currently work part-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., which allows me plenty of time each day to provide attentive care before and after work. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love and attention they deserve. On the weekends, I’m completely off, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and spend quality time with them. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In my client’s home, I strive to keep your pet on their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed and with instructions), and plenty of affection. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while I’m there. To give you peace of mind, I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide patient, loving, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs.
About: I have 6 kids- 3 of those are dogs. I am very familiar with walking, feeding and the loving needed to keep them happy and healthy. I am available evenings and weekends and with advanced notice can have addl availability. Last minute availability also possible.. Feel free to ask. Holiday availability possible too. I do not board dogs and will not bring other dogs to my home. But i am willing to sit at your home and ensure your pet is safe and happy.
About: I’m the kind of person who can’t walk past a dog without saying hello. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to snuggle up with, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry best friend is getting lots of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away. ❤️🐾 One thing pet parents love is that my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility. I work three appointments a week (10, 2, and 6), and I’m typically only out for 1–2 appointments a day, which means I spend a lot of time at home. I also have alternating weekends off (Saturday/Sunday, then Sunday/Monday), giving me even more availability for quality time with your pet. I have a dog of my own, Honey, so I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Honey is my world, so I completely understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Our days are built around walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddle time, and I love keeping her routine consistent because I know how much dogs thrive on that. Caring for Honey has taught me to pay attention to the little things—whether it’s noticing a change in behavior, knowing when they need extra comfort, or just figuring out what makes their tail wag the most. When your pet is with me, I want them to feel just as loved and cared for as they do at home. I’ll treat them like one of my own, stick to their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away.
About: I have previously worked for a pet company where I needed to follow a strict protocol for watching an animal. Between walks, feeding, exercising, playing, administering medicine etc which I would follow when caring for your pet along with having my own at home. My fiancé is also a trainer so we have a lot of experience with almost every breed and different temperaments. I am currently not working, so I would have all the time in the world to care and play with your pups. I am looking for long term or short term depending on your needs. I am very flexible and a quick responder. I have a house that is completely fenced in the back yard. Not only will I just be available to give your pups love but I also have two pups as well they can play with ! They get along with everyone! They are very playful but they can also be lazy couch potatoes. ( if your dog does not get along with other dogs I will relocate mine for the time being so your furry friend is as comfortable and relaxed as can be!)
About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs until their passing of old age or adoption. I’m very kind and loving towards all animals. I work full time, but I have 3 days off during the week and I would love to take care of your pet in my free time! I understand that giving access to someone else’s home and pet can be scary, but I assure you that I will take good care of your pet and your home!
About: Hello! My name is Manny and I am a dog person to my core. I regularly dog sit for friends and family and decided to expand it a little more. I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age and have spent my whole life around them. I’m comfortable around all breeds, sizes and personalities and have more than enough experience to handle them. I am also comfortable handling any special needs your pup may have. Whether it be medication, a specific eating process or whatever it may be.
“Was very attentive and had great communication. She always took lots of pictures of my babies and clearly spent time making sure they were taken care of and comfortable.”
About: Five years ago, my dog—a Golden Retriever—came into my life. I have extensive experience caring for pets, as I have looked after him since he was very young. Furthermore, many people often remark on how I interact with animals, noting that I am very affectionate and loving toward them. In addition, friends and people close to me frequently ask me to look after their pets, as I am always very attentive to their feeding schedules—and, above all, to their walks, which is every pet's favorite part of the day. I currently work part-time and am available from 4:00 PM onwards to care for your pets—whether for a walk or simply to provide them with companionship for a few hours or taking them out for evening strolls—as walking my own dog is already part of my daily routine. I am the owner of a five-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and affectionate, so your pet will feel just as comfortable as they do in their own home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Groveland is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 4,335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Groveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Groveland 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Groveland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
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.
