“This is the first time we've worked with Ian to house sit for our two dogs. It's obvious from meeting him for the first time that he is a dog person and really gets them. One of our girls is very shy around men but she warmed up to him right away, which is saying something. We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs. You really can't ask for more than that. On top of happy dogs, the house was completely in order, which I appreciate. We will definitely hire Ian again.”

“Jeana takes such great care of our pups! We have 3 dogs who range in age from a puppy to a senior, who each have their own quirky personalities, and who collectively can be a bit of a handful. Jeana is attentive to their unique needs and is thoughtful in the care she provides. She is reliable; shares regular updates and great photos; and leaves the house tidy. We know our pups are safe and happy when with Jeana. We can't say enough good things about her!”

About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.

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.

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!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Groveton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.

As of October 2026, there are 9,752 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Groveton. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
