“I am so grateful we found Ian!! He is so good with our dogs and always professional. He goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing he is taking care of them. I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jeana took great care of my senior German with some special needs and medication. From all the great photos o could tell she made sure he didnt feel lonely while I was gone. Highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away
“Anica took such good care of our dog and cat. Even though our cat is spicy, she still went out of her way to engage with her safely! When our dog got a tick, she removed it for us instead of waiting for us to get home. She was also super flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. It was such a comfort when things were chaotic, we knew Anica was taking great care of our babies. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Claudia has been amazing with Daisy! It’s so nice to know someone is stopping in to check on her while I’m at work and Daisy appreciates the extra attention. Daisy gets so excited whenever Claudia walks in the door and we’re grateful someone loves our fur baby as much as we do!”
“Giselle was great! She was reliable and friendly. She helped me feel confident that my cat was in good hands while I was out of town. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Sienna! She genuinely loves and cares for her as if she were her own, and that gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. She always provides thoughtful updates with photos and pays close attention to the little things. That level of attentiveness means so much to me. Erin also goes above and beyond by reinforcing Sienna’s training and routines during her visits, which has been incredibly helpful as we’re working on potty training and building good habits. She is reliable, compassionate, and truly invested in my puppy’s wellbeing. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Rachel has absolutely earned her stellar reputation! She worked with us to ensure she could take care of our cats. We were totally confident in her ability and she gave us so much peace of mind. I would recommend Rachel to anyone that has animals, she is competent, confident and willing!”
“I’m brand new to using Rover and Jasmin really set the bar high! She was very helpful for me and so sweet to my babies! I’ve got four crazies who are afraid of new ppl but she got them all to listen and calm down with her! She’s amazing and I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats at home. My kids and dog, Remmy, love having doggy friends over. We love taking pups for long walks and going to the dog park. I have plenty of time to take your pup outside during the day as I work from home. Your dog will get lots of walks and playtime. I live in a great neighborhood for walks and not far from a dog park. Your pup will be safe and happy here. I can crate your doggy if you need.
“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”
About: I grew up in a household where my mom always took care of dogs, I’ve been helping her for a year and I’m ready to start providing my own services. I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m mostly available during weekends at any time. Sometimes I’m available on weekday afternoons. I pay attention to details, I’m very careful and I will follow all the directions to give your pets a safe and fun time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Groveton
Bre was an outstanding caretaker for our cats while we were away for ten days and. She was thoughtful and patient with my shyest cat, managing to get her to open up a bit for some brushing and play time after a few days of being distant. My youngest cat had plenty of affection and playtime from his new bff as well. Bre is great, and we will book with her again in the future.
Omigosh Rachel was the sweetest with our baby! She managed to tire that little monster out during their visit which is no simple feat 😂 Thank you for all the special plays, foods, and treats you provided for our sweet, crazy lil girl. This was Rachel’s first time visiting Lilly, and Lilly warmed right up to her (not guaranteed). Highly recommend Rachel!
Brooke was accommodating and caring when she provided drop-in and walking services to my two dogs. She kept them comfortable and happy, and her professionalism gave me great peace of mind during a longer than usual work day. I could concentrate on my work knowing the pups were well looked after. Thanks, Brooke!!!
Great communication, kind to people and pets. We had to last minute change our trip dates due to a pet injury. Scotty was still able to accommodate us and took great care of our injured dog and two cats. His prompt communication, flexibility, and compassion towards our dog was much appreciated Thanks so much!
Jennifer is a very caring, considerate, and reliable dog walker. Our dog loves her and greets her with lots of affection, which she returns with lots of love. Also, we feel like our dog is very safe in her hands. During one visit, a swarm of bees attacked our pup and Jennifer immediately notified us, called our veterinarian, and brought Berlin to an ER. She stayed with us until he was ready to go home (he’s fine, but needed Benadryl). You can trust your fur baby with Jennifer!
Overall the best person I've found to watch my three cats so far! Very reliable and considerate with the times we agree on prior. Additionally, Debra has gone out of her way to make extra visits that were not requested simply because she was already nearby. Clearly loves animals. Very thankful for her help and fully recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their cats.
Emily did a fantastic job walking our two dogs. She was timely, had great communication and the dogs loved her. Highly recommend. Emily also was very flexible when one of our dogs became sick, changing some arrangements and helping out with administering some medication.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Groveton is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 15,523 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Groveton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Groveton. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
