About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been personally responsible for my own dogs for the past 14 years. I currently have three dogs at home and have experience with everything from small breeds to large dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with medical and senior-care needs. One of my dogs developed Addison’s disease at a young age and later battled cancer, so I became very comfortable with administering injections and medications, managing chronic health needs, and caring for a dog through chemotherapy, arthritis and mobility changes. As he got older, we adapted his routine so he could still enjoy walks and activities safely and comfortably. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, especially when they have special needs. I’m patient, attentive and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means a morning walk, some midday company, or extra love while you’re away. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I know how much trust it takes to leave a member of your family and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, your instructions, and any house rules closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs and will never force an interaction or put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and am always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your family member is in good hands.
“Emma was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our Goldendoodle, Hank, while we were away. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond by watering my flowers and bringing in our packages without us even asking. It was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much to us. Hank was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved his time with Emma. We would absolutely trust her with Hank again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter! 🐾💕”
“Perri did a fantastic job watching our babies while we were gone for a week. We got regular updates and tons of photos. We came back to a very clean house and she even let us know she was able to feed the dogs before she left for the last time so they were taken care of until we got home. I would 100% use her again in the future.”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“We can’t say enough great things about Katie! She took wonderful care of our pup, Piper, while we were away on a 2-week trip. Katie communicated with us often and even offered to FaceTime when we were really missing our girl, which meant so much. She stuck to Piper’s schedule perfectly and was so accommodating with all of her little quirks. On top of that, Katie went above and beyond by leaving our house spotless—just the way we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Piper and our home were in such great hands. Katie has quickly become one of our go-to Rovers and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: Coming from an animal loving family and already volunteering part time at the Humane Society, I just can’t get enough of walking dogs — especially big ones ! My family’s dog, a total mixed breed that we raised from a puppy, is a modest 80 lbs. Before we got him, I grew up with a border collie and a cattle dog mix, so I deal well with high energy breeds. I’m happy to take them on 2+ mile walks multiple times a day. I have always had dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience raising, training, and taking care of them. I currently work part-time as a French teacher, frequently online, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. Plus, if I am staying long term at your house, my students will love to see your pet pop up on my Zoom video! I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. If you have a pet that just needs feeding and a potty break/litter box scooping, I can provide that. If your pet is a little needier and needs playtime, ear rubs, and someone’s lap to sit on, I’m also eager to provide. I understand that each animal is different.
“Cynthia is a treasure. She took such good care of our dogs - one of which is high (very high) energy and can be destructive when bored. We came home to happy dogs and no destruction. Cynthia kept us informed, with cute pics and videos. She is so personable it is like leaving your dogs with a good friend. Hope she is available the next time we are in need.”
“I cannot recommend Alex enough! I think when people consider cat care, they think it’s simple. That’s not the case with our two cats. They’re extremely high maintenance. I’m talking four pages worth of notes and will wake you up early for food. Alex dealt with them in strides and even marked up said four page instruction manual. We’ll definitely use Alex again in the future!”
“Tyler did a wonderful job in both taking care of our 5 dogs but also in keeping us informed throughout our trip. We are so happy that we have found a trusted person to work with for all of our trips.”
“Ashley was fantastic. She took excellent care of my two shy cats and earned their trust. Daily updates and photos helped me relax and know they were in good hands. I will be booking Ashley again as my kitty nanny!”
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
“Melody was fabulous! She sent us pics and kept us updated on how our pup was doing for the whole stay, and was so kind to help watch him last min when a previous sitter cancelled on us. We will definitely be hiring her again for our next trip!”
About: I live with 3 dogs and 2 cats! One of the dogs is 100% my dog and the other animals are my parents that I help take care of! I give all my pets baths, haircuts, and nail trimmings as well as food, water, cuddles and playtime! I have trained all of my dogs! My dog’s ages are 2, 7 and 16! I spend all my time and effort ensuring my pets are safe and well taken care of and will do the same for your pets! I currently work full-time from 6am-2:30pm. I can be available for any of your pet needs after 3pm and will ensure your pet is the happiest animal in the world while in my care! I can do doggy day care services during the days on weekends or evening doggy care during the week if needed! I will ensure 100000% safety and care for your pet(s)! I own a German Shepherd with hip dysplasia and a high risk of bloat so I understand what it means to put in that extra effort to ensure the pets 100% comfortable and safe!
“Thomas was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to his time spent with Owen. It was not your standard "house sitting" since he did not have to stay overnight but provided the help needed while I was away for the day. He came to meet us first so he could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. Owen had a great time with Thomas playing outside at his house and then was able to get him home safely to sleep in his own bed. I appreciate the care Thomas provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with him. I look forward to having him watch Owen next time.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15+ years! I grew up with 2 dogs and went on to be a dog mom for 2 of my own. I also supported friends with their dogs on the side and have experience with both small and larger dogs. I am very comfortable with taking care of and treating your dogs like they are my own!

Communication is key and I ask that all your dog’s unique needs are discussed beforehand.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grover
Alexis was amazing! Lots of updates (as requested!), left our pup happy and our home just as left it. She watered our plants, gave our dog medication as directed and lots of attention! Maverick had a health issue come up the morning we were set to leave and Alexis immediately took notes and was happy to administer medication. We were able to take our trip with minimal worries about our fur baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grover on Rover is $51.06 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 1,578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grover. 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 Grover 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 Grover 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 Grover 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 Grover. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
