“My pups loved Ms. Pat. She was very attentive and spend a lot of time. She also gave me updates the entire time I was gone. She also worked with them on commands and behavior. We will definitely have her again. She is a pet magnet!”
“Patricia was great with our Great Dane. She provided updates & kept on touch- even stayed late and offered to stay an extra day if we had flight issues. She also gave her medications as needed- will be definitely using again :)”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”

About: We have a spacious fenced yard for dogs. Our own three dogs are gentle and enjoy new friends. We have a 2 year old female Doberman, a 5 year old male Husky, and a 7 year old female Yorkie that keeps the other two in line. Each of them are fixed as well. My wife and I work opposite shifts during the week so one of us will be home during the day with a small hour gap between my wife leaving for work and I arriving home from work. Monday evenings is the only day where we are unavailable for drop offs, I have night school. We frequently let our dogs out to enjoy the outdoors as often as they wish. We feed our dogs twice daily, morning and evening. Their water bowls are never empty. We replace toys often as well considering one of our dogs is a super chewer. It would be an absolute honor to care for your beloved four legged best friend. Your feedback is invaluable, so after your pets stay, we kindly ask you to please leave a review. Your input helps us enhance our business when ensuring we provide the absolute best care for your family. Tips are highly encouraged and valued as we always give the highest care for your pets.

About: I have several years of trusted pet-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic pit bulls and playful puppies to cats and even chickens. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to giving every animal the same love and attention they get at home. I am working full time. But my schedule is a bit flexible. I work every other Saturday. However I also have every other Wednesday off. Work hours during the week is 9-6 and every other Saturday from 10-5 I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I focus on keeping your home tidy, your pets happy, and their daily habits consistent. My goal is to make their time without you feel safe, calm, and stress-free.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent the last 5 years helping friends and family care for their pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. My goal is simple: a happy dog, regular updates for you, and peace of mind while you’re gone. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can work with a variety of schedules. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
“Jamie has watched our dogs on three separate occasions for extended stays and is always incredible. This time when Jamie came to the house our dogs were so excited that Jamie arrived that they weren’t upset or anxious about us leaving. When we returned our dogs seemed well adjusted and well loved. Jamie is great about communication, takes pictures of the dogs that are super cute (I’m using one as my phone wallpaper right now) and always leaves our house in better shape than when we left it. Thanks for being the best Jamie!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Groveport
Penny did a fantastic job watching our 2 dogs in our home. Our female is very nervous and anxious when we board her and typically requires medication upon our return due to stress and gut issues. We've been home for 2 days now and our female has been her normal self. Penny took the time to sit with us and document their normal routines and asked many questions. She was very prompt, communicative, and provided the care we expected. She spent 5 nights in our home and I think our dogs are actually looking for her! We would highly recommend Penny as an in home sitter for your pet(s).
Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!
Brianna was so great with taking care of all our pets and rolling with the punches as far as our cats were concerned. She really took her time trying to get them to warm up to her and did a wonderful job trying to follow our typical routine to the best of her abilities.
It was wonderful to be able to go visit family (some are allergic to dogs) and know that Mochi, CiCi and Nala were in good hands. Dajon did a wonderful job and the dogs loved him. He sent pictures which made us happy to see how happy the dogs were. Thank you Dajon!

The average cost of House Sitting in Groveport is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Groveport 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 Groveport 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 Groveport 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
