“Ava and Eve did a great job taking care of the Pups. They were both happy campers and well rested on our return. They also took care of our house and watered plants. We couldn't ask for better sitters, thanks very much.”
“Perri was incredible, I can’t imagine finding someone who could take better care of our dog while we are out of town. Our dog is epileptic and had a number of seizures at the start of Perri’s stay, and she handled it incredibly well and gave him medicine 5 times a day to help prevent an ER visit without complaint. On top of that, she sent daily updates and photos and took Mack on all kinds of adventures to nearby parks and trails. Can’t say enough good things about Perri - will be booking her any time we have to go out of town! Mack has rated her 7,000 / 5 stars”
“We had a fantastic experience with Katie while she cared for our dog Gary and cat Barley during a 2-night trip. She stayed at our home and made the whole process completely stress-free. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and sent adorable photos of both pets, which we really appreciated. It was clear they were happy and comfortable in her care. We came home to a clean house and two very content animals. We’d absolutely book with Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”
“Azra was absolutely wonderful, and I am so happy to recommend her!! She took excellent care of my pets during her recent booking, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her capable hands. Even though there seemed to be a glitch, and the system didn't send her the detailed message I had texted with specific instructions about where things are located and how to best care for my pets, Azra was incredibly observant and resourceful. She intuitively understood their needs and provided them with everything they required, making this pet-sitting experience truly outstanding.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, playing, and giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will do my best to make them feel right at home. Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with patience, love, and responsibility. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their needs. I’m available for pet sitting, boarding, walks, and drop-in visits based on scheduling. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable to care for your pets, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! 🐾 I provide loving, attentive care for pets in my home or my client’s home, depending on the service needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also follow any special instructions provided by pet parents and keep them updated with messages and pictures. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! 🐾
“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: What sets me apart is hands-on experience with big, high, energy breeds and young pets. I grew up around Labs, German Shepherds, and Akitas, so I'm comfortable handling large or strong dogs confidently and safely. Whether it's a rowdy young pup or a full house of large breeds, I know how to keep things calm, safe, and fun. Since I work from home, my schedule is pretty flexible day to day, and even more so on weekends. That means I can genuinely be there for your pet, not just check in quickly. When things get busy or chaotic in your world, I'm glad to take pet care off your plate. My approach adapts to whichever service I'm providing, but the goal is always the same: keep your pet's routine as normal as possible.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and flexible, which made booking with her incredibly easy. After meeting her, we felt completely comfortable having her stay with our hounds. She sent us daily updates with photos and even brought a package inside for us. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend Samantha! ❤️”
“Damica was incredibly diligent and so sweet to work with! We were out of the country for a week and she was so good about providing updates and sent so many pictures and videos daily throughout the week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were being well taken care of. She even came over twice before we left to meet the dogs so they could feel comfortable with her while we were away. Will definitely be using Damica in the future!”
“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”
About: Hello, my animal care experience began when I was a child. I grew up on a farm, and learned animal care, and training. I have always loved animals, and felt and affinity for them. I have a background in human health care, but am well versed in animal CPR, and am experienced and comfortable administering medications including iv, and injections. I’m experienced caring for, and training pets of all ages, and stages of life. I love dogs and cats equally! I’m in the entertainment industry (musician) so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I often work on the weekends, but I will still have availability during that time. I’m not usually gone for more than 6 hours. I have no pets in my home currently. I live in a condo with a roommate. We have a small fenced yard, and a larger fenced area for dogs immediately adjacent to our yard. I love walking, and will typically walk dogs, unless there are reasons the dog can’t.
“Lauren took great care of our blind, old husky. We’d never left him with someone outside of family before and were nervous how he’d do. When we got home, he was happy, healthy, and had obviously been cared for well. Lauren also left our apartment clean/how we left it. We’re so appreciative!”
“Michael is the absolute BEST dog watcher we have ever had. He just did everything perfectly. He is very dependable and I did not have to worry about a single thing while I was away from my dog. He sent me a lot of photos and he was so good with my dog. I got home and she was so happy. I know she had fun. I will use him going forward for everything. He’s incredible!”
“This is the second time Tarah has taken care of our pups and our house, and once again she did an outstanding job. This visit was a little more challenging because we left her with our 10-month-old, 100+ lb puppy who is recovering from elbow surgery. He required extra attention, careful activity restrictions, and medication, and we felt completely confident knowing he was in her care. Tarah kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. She also took great care of our home, leaving everything just as we left it. It's such a relief to have someone we trust with both our dogs and our house. We wouldn't hesitate to book Tarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grover
Eve was wonderful with my dogs. They are a handful with 2 of them being puppies among the 4 of them. She was able to interpret my notes that I left for her perfectly. My dogs loved her and my house was in great shape when I returned! She has extensive experience working with all kinds of animals. She is a great find for anyone who has to leave their 4 legged family at home when they need to be gone. I whole heartedly recommend her!
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 of House Sitting in Grover is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grover. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
