“McKenna was the best house sitter we’ve ever had! She truly went above and beyond in care of our German Shepherd and our home! We highly recommend and hope she is available for us in the future.”
“Dana took amazing care of our 15-year old golden lab while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in the house with her and gave extra care through thunderstorms which make our pup very nervous! Dana communicated daily about our dogs wellbeing which meant we never had to worry about being away from her. Dana is the best!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Jeana held down the fort staying at our house while taking care of our two dogs and two cats for 12 days. Our pets are a handful and Jeana took care of all their needs. We felt comfortable knowing our home and pets were left in good hands. I would recommend Jeana to anyone for daily walks as well as extended care. Thank you Jeana!!!”
“Alexis is your one-stop-shop for pet needs. Our dog Nala needed a sitter relatively last minute and Alexis was there for us. She is attentive, engaged, and shows the utmost care and respect. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Alexis provides the gold standard of care and you and your furry friend can rest assured your experience will be nothing but amazing”
“Kathryn is amazing, terrific, wonderful. My dogs adore her - fight for her attention every time I see her. She has fantastic communication and follow through. I feel so fortunate to have her taking care of my babies.”
“We had a wonderful first experience with Anna and Hieu. They stayed in my home for a week to watch my Chihuahua mix baby and Chihuahua grandbaby. I knew my grand-dog would be okay, but my dog is such a mama’s boy that I was nervous about leaving him. As expected, he was very sad the first day or two but Anna and Hieu made sure he had plenty of love and attention to help him feel better. They were wonderful about keeping me updated with photos and a daily activity summary which I greatly appreciated. I could tell from the photos and information that my baby was adjusting and felt very comfortable with these two sitters. As a nervous first time Rover user, I left a ridiculous number of instructions on both the dogs and the house, and the ladies happily received them and didn’t make me feel like a crazy dog mom haha. I felt totally at ease about having them in my home; they left the home clean and were very respectful of the property. I am so grateful to these sitters for the excellent care they gave my dogs, and I will happily book them again when needed. They are both so sweet, very responsible, and fabulous with the pups!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter, as she was newly adopted and has some health conditions. Molly and her family were incredibly considerate and welcomed her with open arms. This was the best vacation Donna could have had and I am so grateful.”
“Tara did a great job staying at our house over the weekend and taking care of our dog (Penzey) and our three cats (Spot, Dusty, and Oboe). The house was as we left it, and the animals were all well cared for. Tara did a great job communicating with us. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love all animals honestly! Due to space, my husband and I have two cats and are hoping for a farm one day. I’d love to help take care of your furry friend! I am flexible and can come over every 2 hours or so if needed at the most! I have my own vehicle and am happy to drop in and make sure your pet feels safe and secure. I am very conscious and wary of keeping your home clean and safe. Just leave me detailed instructions and I’m happy to follow them exactly.
“Katie has watched my dogs a couple of times and she always does a great job. Is very communicative and updates all the time which is great! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Amazing pet sitter that put us at ease from the first meet & greet. Eric was very punctual and listened to all our needs and followed our instructions with precision. Our dogs were happy and with the youngest being usually timid around new people. Eric took care to make them feel comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Would highly recommend!”
“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Tara did an excellent job caring for our two senior dogs. They both take medication and she followed the directions exactly, making sure they both got what they needed and on time. She also sent us lots of videos and photos which was super helpful. We were gone for 3 weeks and we were able to relax knowing that our dogs were in good hands. I think she actually took better care of them than we do. Don't hesitate to book Tara for your next trip, especially if you have special needs or older dogs. Communication was great and she left the house in good shape for our return. I recommend Tara without reservation and I would definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies! I am so grateful for your attention to detail, thorough communication and picture updates! Highly recommend Jeannie and will rebook ❤️”
About: I have taken care of my dogs since I was young, small (shih tzu) to large (German shepherds). I am friendly and open to changing schedules if needed! Hi I am free all summer except on times I work at my main job, but that will be posted on my availability! Thank you. I have a family home with a backyard and deck for space to roam. 2 friendly dogs to keep company, one Labrador and German shepherd.
“Had a sitter cancel the evening before sitting. Madeline totally stepped up and took great care of my pup and gave me plenty of cute pics and updates through the day.”

Hannah arrived on time and bonded well with our special needs dog. Our dog relaxed with her. She did not pace around looking for us, as Hannah was there with her! :) Our dog is not easy since she can't hear or see. Hannah took her on walks. When we came back, she was comfortable and not upset about us being gone. Our house was cleaned the way we left it when we returned. Hannah updated us with photos, which are always fun to see. We have already asked Hannah to help us next week! Communication was great! We will ask her again! :)
Shennan was easy to work with, professional, prompt and responsive. We did two meet and greets before my weekend away because I am always nervous when my little anxious Archie is with someone new. Archie took to her right away and looked happy and healthy when I got back home...and my house was as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to book Shennan again when she is home from school.
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!
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sydney gave our dogs. The dogs were very nervous while we were gone and unfortunately had diarrhea and several accidents during their stay. Sydney kept us updated with messages and photos, was incredibly patient, and handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. She even went out to buy extra cleaning supplies and washed everything that needed it. We truly appreciated all of the extra effort she put in and how well she cared for our pups despite the unexpected challenges. We would book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much!
Scotty did a great job caring for our larger dogs! Before house sitting, he came over for a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions about their care instructions. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Looking forward to working with Scotty again in the future!
Daniela stayed with our dog Skyler for 5 days. This was the first time we’d left her at home with a sitter and it worked out perfectly. Daniela was always responsive to text and sent plenty of pictures which showed me that Skyler was having a good time. All which made our trip so much less stressful. Skyler was well cared for. Will definitely use her again!
Alexis was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog, cat, and home. She was a great communicator and gave such nice updates. I trusted her with the care of my pets and she went above and beyond! I will absolutely use her again and unequivocally recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
Highly conscientious. I was in the UK during what turned out to be some fairly atrocious weather conditions back home, with the added surprise of my developer turning up to knock down and rebuild my driveway, and Elyse soldiered on through. The dog was walked on schedule, and she tried (successfully, I'll add) to save my garden. Communication was great - sometimes I was out of range and couldn't respond immediately, but she was very good about sending updates. This ended up being a harder job than I realized I was engaging her for, and everything was nonetheless fine when I got back. Strongly recommended.
Carly is reliable and professional and I would highly recommend her! I am always anxious leaving my dogs but she sent lots of pictures and updates when she stayed with my dogs for a long weekend. She took great care of them and they were happy and relaxed when I returned 🙂

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 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 9,923 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.

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.
