“Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!”

Sarah arrived on time everyday, sent us detailed information on how the visit went and sent lots of pictures. She respected our cats’ boundaries and spent a lot of time playing with them and watching cat TV together. It is so nice to find a sitter that really cares about the pets she sits. We’ll definitely rebook her the next time we are out of town. Thank you Sarah!”

“McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!”

I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars! Alexis completely exceeded every expectation we had. She cared for all four of our dogs (4 BIG Bernese Mountain Dogs), Millie, Maisey, Bon, and Lucy, and I was truly blown away by how attentive, patient, and loving she was with each of them. Maisey is extremely anxious and can be a very challenging dog to care for. We are always nervous leaving her with someone new, but Alexis was unbelievably gentle, patient, and accommodating with her. She never rushed her or pushed her outside of her comfort zone and took the time to understand exactly what Maisey needed. That alone meant more to us than I can explain. On top of caring for four very large dogs, Alexis administered medication to both Maisey and Bon, handled their walks and routines, and somehow managed an honestly overwhelming amount of work with so much kindness and care. We are admittedly very nervous dog parents, and she kept us constantly updated and made us feel completely at ease. I cannot overstate how impressed we were by Alexis. Her ability to give four dogs such individualized and attentive care is incredibly special. She is genuinely one of the kindest people and has such a natural way with animals. We came home feeling beyond grateful and honestly so lucky to have found her. I would trust Alexis with our dogs again in a heartbeat and truly cannot recommend her enough!

Carly took exceptional care of our whole menagerie of cats and dogs while we were away. She handled every ask with professionalism and even managed a few unexpected curveballs without missing a beat. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. Recommend her without hesitation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Veronica is amazing!!!! I was recently overseas for a vacation and was gone for 12 nights— the longest I have been away from my boy, Crosby. Veronica was SO understanding and patient with me— she knew I was anxious and did everything possible to calm my nerves. Her communication with me was great - she sent lots of videos and photos and kept Crosby’s routine. She also took Crosby with her where/ when she could - to reduce his time alone. I arrived home to clean laundry and a happy dog! I trust Veronica completely and highly, hoghly recommend her!!!

Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!

Vannice was fantastic when it came to taking care of my dog and making sure all her needs were met! She ensured to provide daily pictures and updates when she took my dog out as well as when she was fed to make sure I knew what was going on throughout the day while I was gone. I’m glad to know my dog was in great hands while I was gone and would definitely recommend Vannice to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Groveton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Groveton on Rover is $85.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,932 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Groveton. 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 Groveton 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 Groveton 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 Groveton 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 Groveton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
