“Veronica was an outstanding pup sitter! She provided meal and general updates throughout the days and nights. She sent pictures and videos of the pups. She also took them on a couple outings which they thoroughly enjoyed! Veronica was a wonderful guest in the house. She left it as she found it and cleaned the bedding and dishes. I did not expect her to take care of all of that! I have no hesitation recommending Veronica to take care of puppers. She loved on mine like her own - she was simply amazing!!!”

“Wow, what a terrific dog sitter and dog walker. Eric is a trustworthy and reliable person. He met our little dog and immediately bonded with him. We have used his services since we moved to DC two years ago and feel blessed. Eric helps us with dog walks and dog sitting. He is very thorough and takes notes of any issues, treat schedules, or favorite toys. He also sends us lovely updates with photos of our little cockapoo. We are so happy with Eric he deserves 6 stars as a rating. Thank you, Eric!”

Ahmed even came back Sunday afternoon to give Bella another walk and treat to bridge the time before I returned home. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this caregiver; thank you Ahmed!!”

“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.”

Cindy told me that she also began to follow her around. Needless to say, it provided much comfort to know that my lil one clearly felt at home her new best friends. In addition, when I arrived at my house, it was exactly how I left it. So Cindy & Tyler thanks soooo much for taking such good care of my Leia & my house!!”

I have never been so relived to find a fabulous sitter for our yellow-lab. Sarah did an incredible job communicating throughout her overnight stay... sending pictures, and letting us know when our dog was walked, or when medication/meals were given. I feel so thankful to have found someone so great for our anxious but loving pup!

Jasmine was fantastic!! Before we did an overnight we had her come for a meet & greet and our dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative, followed all of our instructions, asked all the right questions, and sent us tons of pictures. We so comfortable being away. She was also extremely clean in our home and even took out the trash before she left. She was such a pleasant person to interact with.

10/10 recommend Michaela for house sitting with a doggo! This was our first time having Michaela come stay at our home with our bernedoodle. She was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive to both our dog and us as we navigated leaving her at our home for the very first time. Her level of support allowed us to travel for my husband’s retirement celebration from the military. We couldn’t have done this without her!

Wonderful experience with Tara on such short notice! She ended up housesitting for our Aussie Shep and made sure our good girl was well taken care of ... lots of fetching and chilling. She provided ample amount of both pictures and communication of how things were going. I could not ask for a better experience with a dogsitter! I highly recommend Tara!

Jeana did a great job. We’ve had dog sitters over the years (not thru Rover.com) and altho they’ve all been good, Jeana was our favorite. Loved her style of communication, attention to detail, and the house looked great when we got back. Most importantly, our girls seemed very contented and normal, as if we’d only been out for a short errand. We cannot recommend Jeana enough. She’s the best.

A+++ Sitter We loved Gem. She sat for our Buster all weekend. And Buster is a challenge actually Buster and myself is a challenge both us are nervous. Buster has separation anxiety and I have it too. But Gem was calm and worked through both of our issues like a champ. I was very impressed and Buster ended up loving his Auntie Gem and we will be reaching out to her in the future if she will have us. 😉😄😄😄Thank you so much for all you did for us Gem. You were amazing!! ~Rachel Drew and Buster

We almost hesitated to write this because we’d love to keep Randy as our own best-kept secret on Rover! I cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciated his punctuality, professionalism, and utmost respect for our house while sitting. Above all, the warmth and kindness he showed our dog, Pippa, gave us complete peace of mind. We struggled for a long time to take a vacation because we weren’t sure we could find the right person to trust with our home and pet. Fortunately, Randy was everything we hoped for and more. Anyone considering booking him can rest assured that their furry loved ones will be in extraordinary hands. We will absolutely be reaching out to him again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Groveton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

As of October 2026, there are 9,869 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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.
