“Melissa is the best! I have to travel often and she always puts my mind at ease with frequent updates and even takes my energetic pup to play with others. She truly loves my dog and he loves her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Liliana! She was so great and truly went above and beyond in every way! She communicated, made me feel at ease about leaving my fur babies, and was the perfect house sitter! I’m so happy to have found her!”
“Damarilys did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs for the two days/nights she was with them. Her response time to messages I sent both before and during her sitting time was more than satisfactory. She also sent multiple pictures to of both dogs during her time with them. I’d definitely use her again if we’re going out of town. Amy”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages from bottle feeding pets to giving injections to senior pets. I look forward to meeting your SETX pets! I currently work part time so I have lots of available extra time to go spend time with animals. I’m super flexible with my schedule and am available most every day. I love taking pups out to the local parks, or exercising your pet in the back yard. I sadly cannot keep any dogs in my house.
“Katie was great with my goofy goobers! she was patient with our shady girl and seems like they felt right at home with her! loved seeing the pictures of them being their goofy selves!”
“Tessa followed all instructions and did a wonderful job keeping in contact with us. Our three babies can be a handful but she handled them well. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Caring for people's babies is my ultimate dream job! From their cuteness to their unique personalities, I fall in love with every baby that comes my way. I've always had pets. Mostly dogs but I adore cats as well. Snuggling, playing or teaching- I'm never happier than when I'm around animals. I know leaving your babies for any reason can cause you some worry. Let me help to ease your mind. Your pets will always be in good hands with me and they will always be treated as my own. I will walk them for some exercise, come by to feed them or simply just to play! You can count on me to know that when you're not with them, your baby is not only being cared for but also loved. I currently work Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I can certainly come by to walk or feed your babies if you're working late. I can take care of your babies any weekend. If I could do this full time, I would. I will feed your babies on the schedule you provide. Unfortunately, my babies are older and don't particularly like other animals but I'd be glad to watch yours in your home and that way you know your home is protected as well. I can also provide a reference!
About: I've been having animals my whole life, and I currently have a 14 year old kitty.I also sit for family, friends, co-workers and neighbors !!! I'm currently unemployed, so I can sit for you fur babies anytime you need me to, I'd love to treat your pets my like family I will be sitting in the comfort of their own home. Whatever they need I'm there, with whatever the parent approves of, of course 😉
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.
About: Spending time with animals is a joy for me, I take pride in working to establish a trusting relationship with them, and letting dogs be dogs! Our property is fully fenced with squirrels and birds to chase, galore! I work from home so the animals get plenty of attention and potty breaks throughout the day. We love to let our dogs wander while we work in the yard, or fill up the kiddie pool to splash in, there must be a million tennis balls for endless hours of fetch in my grass! Over the last 35 years I've owned all kinds of animals and dog breeds of all ages and sizes; anxious rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, epileptic, diabetic dogs, & i've even gained experience walking dogs at shelters. I've always loved to include my dogs hiking, camping and to the beach. Recently I oversaw the birth & development of our own dachshund's litter. Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. **dog walking services will be available weather permitting, over 90 or a down pour we will need to reschedule. If you have a dog over 40lb I may be able, dog dependent, just message me! I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, responsive and respectful.. that's me! I start each day tending to the animals about 7am; waters refilled, potties outside etc.. and make sure we spend time playing outside several times throughout the day. I work from home so they get plenty of attention. Usually I work in a long indoor nap in the height of the days heat. Rover dogs always have their own room to sleep in at our house, we won't crate them unless they aren't able to roam-free safely, or if you request it. I do not allow rover dogs upstairs, or in our bedroom at night. Safety & the well being of the animals is always the most important to me. Introductions will be made at the animals pace & comfort level. We have a fully fenced yard with a minimum of 4ft high chain link. There is also a fully fenced 10x10x6' kennel if you have a dog that can REALLY jump, they would still be able to spend time in the yard off-leash. There are separately fence portions of my yard if you prefer your animal be kept separate for any reason. If you need help with pick up, drop off, or bathing just say so! I have a restraint system in my car for small breeds. I have a variety of crate sizes & a puppy play pen. If you wonder about leaving your dog here just message me with any questions or come see the space. I know the anxiety of trusting someone with your best bud and I aim to help relieve that. Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. Please let me know if your dog requires medication, special attention, is scared of storms.. etc. Please let me know if you DO NOT want your dogs to play with ours for whatever reason it will not hurt my feelings especially if its keeping animals safe and feeling secure. We have some chickens (in a run), and there are horses on the property next to ours FYI, they are very used to dogs. I prefer safe than sorry! We are on a dead end so there is little traffic and no kids living here. If you prefer I can even accommodate housing your animal completely separately, in our very peaceful guest apartment, that has worked well for some special need babies.
About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Serina went above and beyond for our three pups. She was house sitting over a holiday weekend, and a hurricane came through town, causing return travel plans to change. She was able to stay an extra night. Serina remained in contact with us, staying in the house with the dogs overnight even after losing power hours earlier. She left the house clean, the pups happy, and we will absolutely book with Serina again. Great communication, timely, and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for two regularly, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to match a dog’s energy—whether they want to play and be active or just relax and take it easy, I adjust to what makes them most comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to instructions, making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I also make sure to keep you updated so you can feel confident your dog is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I can make time for you and your dog at any time and any place! Summer time is the best for your dog, but so is the winter! Fall and spring work just as well, so come one, come all! I have two dogs of my own at my house. I have had dogs all of my life and feel fairly comfortable around most dogs. I am very open to being active with them and caring for them!
“FIVE STARS ALL AROUND! Bri was awesome. I am someone who has a lot of anxiety leaving my fur babies even for a short period of time. I felt so at ease leaving them with Bri. We got great updates and I even came home to pictures and report cards which made my whole day! 10/10 will be booking her again <3”
About: My mom has relied on me to feed, care, walk, and bathe our dogs growing up. My grandma has also relied on me to Watch overheard puppies as she left for vacation vacations. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I am currently working part time, I am available every weekday until 4 PM when I would go to work. While at work, I have three family members that can care for your pets while I am gone. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I am more than happy to kennel, my friendly golden retriever and orange kitten whenever.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Groves
Katie was fantastic. She was super patient with Frankie which he really needs. She kept me updated while I was away including sending pictures. She kept my house nice and tidy. She even washed my bedding / towels before I returned which was so nice! I would definitely recommend Katie to others and would definitely book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Groves on Rover is $36.08 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Groves. 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 Groves 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 Groves 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 Groves 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
