About: Hi! I work from home and I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities! I have had dogs my whole life ranging from a mini dachshund to a great dane. With my schedule I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a puppy who loves playing with other dogs and he seems to help make pets feel more comfortable while I'm boarding them! I work from home so I am able to fit in pet care easily! I already have 3 dogs and a big backyard so pet sitting does not change the daily routine much for me. I have a high privacy fence for the backyard to ensure all dogs stay securely in the yard during potty breaks. My home is already puppy proofed for both large and small dogs to accommodate my own pets.
“Kiara was exceptional. Her attention to detail and communication enabled us to relax knowing that our beloved cats, chickens, and ducks were all receiving excellent care. We would highly recommend her and will request her again.”
“Tonya, was exceptional. Dogs loved her, I was able to relax and enjoy my time at my daughters wedding in Dominican without having to regularly check in at home. I received updates and photos which is something I need and she just checked all the boxes. I trust her and would absolutely use her again! (she evan had to administer meds to one dog daily and no issues) Thank you for everything!”
“Savannah was an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our furr babies, but take care of our house too! She is very accommodating, communicative and great with our animals. Thank you once again for taking care of our zoo!”
“James was a great dog and house sitter! He sent plenty of pics and communication was excellent. We really felt like he cared about our dogs and gave them lots of attention! Will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jen this weekend! She was so patient and loving with our three dogs — even during the fireworks, which usually stress them out. Came home to happy, calm pups. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I adore pets of every kind, and love the chance to meet and take care of them. Most of my life I’ve taken care of friends and families pets, so I’m more than accustomed to giving them the love and attention they deserve. I’m preparing for a big move in about a month’s time, so I’m filling my time before then with as much as I can, my schedules pretty open! I can follow directions clear and to the letter, and know every pet has their own rituals and fine print. Just let me know ow what needs done, and it’ll happen.
“Kiara did an amazing job taking care of Pippin. I came back to a happy, well cared for dog. Kiara was careful to follow instructions left for Pippin's care. She stayed in touch while I was gone and left the house in good condition. I had to change plans just before the trip and Kiara was flexible and accommodating. I would be happy to have Kiara care for Pippin again.”
“Our dogs loved her and were sad to see her go. Leslie pampered them like the babies they are. Would definitely call on her again in the future. Thank you Leslie for taking such good care of our ladies!”
“Jada house sat and watched our elderly dog Ozzy last week. She was great. Her communication was prompt and friendly. Ozzy really liked her. She took great care of him and he was fine while we were gone. She also took great care of our home and it was as clean when we came home as when we left. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amy was a fantastic pet sitter. She was very attentive to all my dogs and cats and took careful notes about their meds and feeding. I will definitely book her again and recommend to anyone!”
About: I sat for a friend who had a bulldog that could not be around her other dogs and I would sit in the room with him so he had company. I love all animals. I have dogs and cats of my own. I work as full time nurse 3 days a week but flexible and would much rather watch your babies in your home where they are more comfortable. I can take the on a walk or dog park if near your home if needed. Just want your babies to feel safe and loved. I have friendly dogs that will or can keep Your fur hairs company and I also will sit with them at your house and love them like they are mine. They will be in good hands
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and owned up to 4 dogs for 7 years, one with special needs (deaf) and 2 with anxiety disorder. I am willing to take care of disabled fur babies, as well as sassy or cuddly ones gladly and will have constant communication with the fur babies parents I have recently moved and I am looking to do my dream job of being a doggy caretaker with the available time that I have. I already take care of friends fur babies and have even rescued dogs from the streets. I will have constant communication with the dog parent, will play inside and outside, groom the babies, clean up after them, littler boxes and also will always be down to take care of disabled babies, they all deserve love.
“Natalie watched our 12 year old dog and she did an amazing job! Natalie provided daily updates and photos and communicated well with us while we were gone. I would recommend Natalie to anyone needed in home care!”
“Molly was an absolute lifesaver while watching our two girls from May 1 to May 4. Leaving them can be stressful, but she made the entire process seamless and worry-free. She was incredibly patient and flexible with Chicken’s specific eating habits, ensuring she stayed on her routine. Most importantly, she handled Birdie’s heartworm treatment medical schedule with perfect care, giving us total peace of mind that her health was in the right hands. Molly is a fantastic communicator; we loved receiving the frequent photo updates of the girls looking happy and relaxed. They clearly bonded with her right away! To top it off, she went above and beyond by taking out the trash and leaving the house spotless for our return. We truly could not recommend Molly enough to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and detail-oriented sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Therese was great with our dog. She was always friendly and communicative. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We’d gladly have her sit with our dog again. Highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Groveland on Rover is $36.75 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 2,632 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Groveland. 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 Groveland 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 Groveland 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 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!
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 Groveland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
