“We really appreciated Kiara staying at our house and taking care of our dog and cat. With Callie being 12 years old, it was nice for her to be able to stay at home. Kiara kept us updated on how things were going. We will definitely use Kiara again.”
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.
“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! 🐾”
“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!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Adri! Your Dog’s New Best Friend 🐶❤️ Hi! My name is Adri, and I absolutely love dogs and animals. I’ve always had a special connection with animals, and I actually came very close to becoming a veterinarian. I’m familiar with many different breeds and personalities, including Bichon Frises, English Bulldogs, Shiba Inus, Pit Bulls, and many others. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel safe. To me, dogs are family. ❤️ I’m patient, caring, attentive, and full of energy. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch in a fenced yard, and spending quality time with them. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of person who will end up watching a doggy movie with your pup! 🎬🐕 I don’t mind barking — they’re dogs, after all! 😊 I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I also had a previous pet-sitting profile with many great reviews, but unfortunately, that profile was erased. I’m excited to build new relationships with pets and their families and hopefully earn your trust. If you have any questions about me or how I care for your dog, please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to answer anything! Your dog deserves someone who will give them patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. Pick me! 🐶🐾❤️ I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can work around their feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they aren’t left alone for too long. I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they need while you’re away. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own! 🐶❤️ I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of food and fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll always make sure they are safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll also clean up after them and leave your home neat and tidy. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐾
“Amy was wonderful with our sweet kitties. She was very thorough and attentive while we were away- and did not hesitate to reach out for clarification when it was needed- which I loved! The kitties were happy and healthy when we arrived home. Such a gift! Thanks, Amy!”
About: Hi, my name is Nahiara and i’m a student here for a part-time job to cover my collage expenses. I’ve worked with friends and family pets (including chickens and ferrets) I have two dogs Max and Charlee they are both trained and vaccinated. I’m a reliable caretaker!💖 I currently study so I’m available mostly weekends Friday through Sunday anytime. But we can always work around the schedule if needed during weekdays . I’m lucky enough to have a big neighborhood and backyard to provide just enough space to walk around your pups and provide play with treats and toy of your choice!
“Leslie is an amazing pet sitter! She watched our fur babies in our house and took great care of everything! She did not hesitate to ask any questions and made me feel at ease about watching our babies. 100% will book with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This is now the 4th family trip we’ve taken where we haven’t had to worry about our animals because our dog sitter is fabulous and our dogs love her! We trust April in our home and she always goes above and beyond! Thank you!! ☺️”
“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.”
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.
“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”
“We were very happy with Meghan. She treated our pets (cat and dog) like her own. They were both very relaxed when we got back home. Also she left our home even better than before we left. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.

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.
