“Bryn took such good care of my dog and was super friendly and nice. Was nervous using this app but she was super easy to work with, showed up on time, and I trusted that she was capable with animals due to years of experience working with them professionally. Will definitely be hiring her again next time I go away!”
About: I have three friendly dogs of my own and I have also attended a couple dog training lessons. Dogs are hands down my favorite animal! I have a lot of free time and dogs would make it more fun! I attend online college courses, so school and work are not an interference. I take my dogs at home on daily walks along a trail in my backyard, feed them twice a day, and I love playing with them!
About: I’ve had experience taking care of animals since I was young! I often do pet care for my friends, family and coworkers as well as volunteer for local adoption agencies. I am capable of handling pets of all shapes, sizes and ages as I’ve come across them all with my experiences. I’m also equipped to handle pets with special needs. I am also certified in CPR & First Aid for Dogs & Cats, so you can trust that your family is safe in my hands. I work full time M-F, 1st shift. However, have plenty of early morning availability and afternoon and evenings. I try to accommodate for the needs of all pets & their parents. This allows me to spend quality time and give pets the proper care they need. With that being said, I highly encourage booking with me as I have time for Meet & Greets as well! During our M&G, we will develop a care plan for your fur babies for the service you booked me for. *At this time, pick-up/drop-off available for clients within a 10-15 mile radius of Griswold, CT* I focus entirely on providing structured, attentive care right in the comfort of your pet's own home. Whether it's an energetic dog walk, a midday drop-in visit, or dedicated house-sitting, my priority is keeping their exact routines consistent and stress-free. I treat your home with total respect and will send you regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind.
“Emily did a wonderful job with my dogs and keeping me updated and sending photos of them! Our one dog is recovering from surgery and needed some special care and Emily managed fine! We will definitely contact her again for future needs.”
“Heather was AMAZING. My older dog is very unsure with new people and she did great with him. She kept us update every day and made my wife and I very comfortable that our puppies were in great hands! She will be our first option if we need someone in the future!”
“Miranda did an excellent job taking care of our pups and keeping an eye on our house. She was professional and maintained great communications. We really enjoyed getting the pictures while we were gone. The dogs all seemed to like her, including our one who normally takes awhile to trust people.”
“Kaitlynn has been so wonderful to work with! My dog has anxiety with strangers and she has been so patient with her while working to gain her trust. She is very easy to talk to and to work with and I am excited to continue working together in the future! She followed all routines accordingly including walking, feeding and giving medication. I can’t say enough great things about her!”
“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”
“Five Stars all around for Natalie! She took excellent care of my two pups— they were in capable hands and the house was clean when we came home. We will definitely hire Natalie again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 15 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. Until recently, I had my own senior dog and had taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!
About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs in my neighborhood for many years and have always loved being around animals. I’ve had two dogs of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, care, and love. Dogs are definitely my favorite animals, and I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! I’m currently working part time as a server. I am available all day sunday and mondays and all mornings and most nights. I’m very flexible! I have a very nice neighborhood and a friendly dog who loves other puppies. and a very friendly kitty that stays out of the way when needed.
“Lucas was amazing with my 8 year old Aussie, Cali, and 16 year old cat, Chili. I was gone for 2 weeks and received updates and photos almost daily of my babies. No doubt they were taken care of and loved by Lucas. I would highly recommend him and will be using him in the future. Blessed to have found him!! ☺️”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”
“Angela did a great job watching our pets. It’s reassuring to know they are safe and cared for when you are away. She’s calm, responsive and flexible. One pet needed some extra assistance and Angela helped her out. Thank you Angela!”
“Sarah and Mason were very reliable and communicative. Felt comfortable leaving our 3 dogs in their care for an extended amount of time. Would definitely use their services again in the future.”

Having Kiera dog sit for our dog was an amazing experience. From the moment I met Kiera, I knew my dog would be loved & well taken care of. She is so thorough & asks questions that didn’t even occur to me. Kiera went above & beyond & I would be honored for her to dog sit for us again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hope Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hope Valley. 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 Hope Valley 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 Hope Valley 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 Hope Valley 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
