“Ian did a great job taking care of my five year old Labrador. He was at the house almost 24/7 and sent me updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend him to others.”
“Lauren is a very caring dog sitter; our dogs were well taken looked after. We were kept up to date with all the great pics that Lauren shared with us while we were away. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone needing someone to stay with your pet/S.”
“I booked Michaela for the weekend to housesit and stay with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. She did great with Michaela! Additionally, my flight back got canceled, and Michaela stayed overnight again and then my second flight got very delayed and Michaela was very nice to extend her stay and stay with my dog a little longer. Ensure she had gone potty and been fed before I got home since I was getting home very late. Additionally, the house was very organized and clean. I will definitely be booking Michaela again!!”
“Catarina was great! Easy to communicate with, left our home in great shape, and took great care of our dog Cooper, sending multiple photos every day. Would definitely use Catarina again!”
“Carmen was a pleasure to work with and my dogs loved her! She was very responsible and reliable, especially with two large and older dogs. O(n days when she knew she would be gone for the entire day, sha made time to come by the house during a lunch break to let the dogs out to pee. She would frequently send me photos and videos of the dogs also. I will definitely hire her again and if you are questioning a pet sitter's reliability, I can vouche for Carmen and recommend her to responsibly look after you dogs while you are out of town.”
“Olena was amazing sitter for Apolo! I had a last minute change in plans and needed a sitter for my friends 14 yo baby Apolo. I chose Olena from reviews and she was incredible! Was able to take Apolo on last minute, made me feel at ease and when arrived was so great with Apolo. They did yoga in backyard and relaxed and played. She is zen and calming presence, Thanks Olena!”
“Zach was really kind and flexible. We knew our pups liked him right away by them immediately bringing toys to him to play, they don't always do that. Thank you Zach, you really put us at ease knowing that our pups were in good hands.”
“Dana was great. She sent regular updates and photos of my dogs. She took good care of them, including the medicine that they required while she was sitting with them. Highly recommend her.”
“Kari was an awesome friend to Chanel while I was gone. She took care of her, played with her and made sure she ate her food, which definitely helped me to enjoy my vacation to the fullest. She was very accommodating and responsive, which I greatly appreciate! I will definitely book with her again very soon!”
“Erica was amazing with our two cats and our dog. She kept us updated throughout our time away, left the house spotless, and, most importantly, treated our pets with genuine care and kindness. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Emileo took great care of our two pups, cat, and the house while we were away! Communication was flawless and he took the time to really understand our pets needs to give us a worry free time away from home. Would definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Rosemary takes great care of our dog and treats our Benny just like he might be her dog. She also takes care of the house and leaves mail on kitchen counter. We love having her here.”
About: I've been watching family & friends pets for years. I have watched their pets for weekends and as long as two weeks. I love animals and in particular dogs of all sizes. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs ranging from a Chihuahua to a 200lb Cane Corso. I can often be found walking and playing with dogs in Old Town's parks and sidewalks. I work from home and have no problem waking up early or going out late to walk your dog. I'm familiar with following strict care rules or lax "hop on the bed/couch rules". I am comfortable watching your beloved family member on the weekdays or weekendends. I'm an active guy and can take your dog out for a walk/then as needed. I'm a respectful person and have house sat/ watched the pets of the former CIO of the white house. I am happy to stay at your place, or stop by to care for your place/ pet as needed. I am also comfortable housing your pet in a 3 bedroom townhome - walking distance from a huge pet friendly park. I work from home at an Education Technology company and will take frequent breaks from staring at the screen to play with and give your pet attention.
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and providing pets with plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and select weekday pet-sitting opportunities. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.
“We loved how our dog Pippa immediately took to Autumn. She has a very kind and calm demeanor, is very accommodating and appreciative of any extra info given to her to make the pets feel maximally comfortable. Our little dog has IBD and separation anxiety but building a connection with Autumn enabled her to feel safe and loved in her own home. We care for timeliness and seriousness when it comes to our furry baby and have not been let down, thank you!”

Eric took great care of our pups while we were out of town. He was very attuned to how our dogs were feeling, especially our nervous girl, and worked to make them comfortable. He’s very organized and really cares about the dogs he’s caring for. Eric was also understanding of some maintenance issues at our apartment and gracious enough to work around it. Highly recommend!
Rachel was spectacular in every way! From my first message, she was communicative, accommodating, and overall very easy to work with. She gave my dog a fantastic week while I was away on vacation and put my mind at ease with regular check ins and photos. She also went above and beyond by leaving my home spotless at the end of the booking. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Jhon did a really wonderful job in looking after Hugo and Oliver. He was incredibly focused on their needs and gave us timely updates on how they were doing while we were away. You can tell he is a dog person; he made sure they had everything they needed and was really warm and caring with them. We will use Jhon again - he exceeded our expectations.
Jordan took great care of our sweet old gals. He was amazing with sending updates and photos so we did not have to worry and the pups were relaxed and happy. He spent lots of time loving on them, which is important to us since we work from home and they are used to getting a lot of human attention. Thank you, Jordan!
Tara did an excellent job taking care of Ducky! She gave him lots of attention, gave great updates, and followed all instructions perfectly. Ducky is an anxious pup who loves being with his people, and we were so relieved he had Tara to look after him. Will rebook again!
Catarina was absolutely wonderful! We felt so comfortable leaving our home and pets in her care while we were away for the weekend. She was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly conscientious. She sent us adorable pictures and regular updates, took wonderful care of our dogs and cat, and even went above and beyond by rescuing our plants during a terrible storm! She treated our home and pets as if they were her own. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable and caring hands. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We would happily welcome Catarina back anytime and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Isabela is an absolute five-star pet sitter! From start to finish, her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, keeping me updated with regular photos and notes throughout the stay. Her genuine compassion and gentle approach with the dogs gave me complete peace of mind while away, and her professionalism was evident in how respectfully and responsibly she cared for both my pets and my home. I returned to happy, relaxed pups and everything in perfect order. I cannot recommend Isabela highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Jason was absolutely exceptional! We were away for a week, and he took amazing care of our dogs. We came home to two very happy pups and a house left in perfect condition. He consistently sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was also a great communicator and always kept us informed of any issues or concerns. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We 100% plan to use him again! 10/10 recommend — your pets will be in the best hands with Jason!
Jaidyn was absolutely wonderful and was great with our two cats. She was always communicating with us, very responsive, and even went over and above when our train was delayed by staying a little longer with our cats than planned. She also sent us pics and asked questions whenever something needed clarity. I highly recommend Jaidyn for house-sitting your cats!
Emma is a truly great pet sitter! My dogs loved her right away and even my shy cat came out to spend time with her. Emma took great care of my dogs, who were both on specialized diets and she gave them loads of attention and play time. She has also done drop in visits for me and I really appreciate the amount of time she spent with my babies. Going out of town and leaving my kiddos is always hard, but knowing they were with Emma gave me immense peace of mind. She sent photos and updates and it was easy to see my pups were happy, and I have one super anxious dog. You know you have a good sitter when your animals miss her even after you’re back. 😂 If you want high quality care, book with Emma! You will not regret it. I have already referred her to a friend.
Jordan was so wonderful with snickers. She totally got him and what he needed- lots of space at first and time to warm up. By the end of our trip he was following her around and asking for attention just like he does with us. She sent plenty of updates and snickers was in great shape when we got home. I will 100% call her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Groveton is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $105 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 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 , 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.
