“Poet was great. It was lovely to have peace of mind while they took care of the crew. They sent regular updates and pics. Our scaredy-cat of a dog even finally took to them. Everyone looked safe and happy and we would absolutely book them again.”
“Kristine is awesome!!! She housesat my girls for a week this time and after a great first experience with her, I was completely at ease knowing that my dogs were being cared for, loved and entertained while I was away. He husband bonded with our girls the first time as well and they were very happy to see him when he returned for this visit! I am so very happy with the care my dogs received from Kristine and Mark! I can always see joy in the dogs when she sends pics!”
“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! My husband and I went out of town for a week, and she home sat for our two dogs. She sent lots of photos throughout the week and let us know how they were doing. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of them and the house while we were away. She even vacuumed up which was so thoughtful. Absolutely recommend her!”
“Marissa was fantastic, super attentive to our fur babies needs and attention seeking. Played outside with our youngest pup who enjoys playing, “keep away”. Will definitely book again over and over, highly recommend Marissa!”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with a relaxed style. I love all animals as if they were my own and devoted attentive care to your fur babies. I have 4 fur babies at home app with separate needs so medications and routines are not daunting to me at all. The more information owners give me the better! By working closely with my clients I am able to ensure that their pets get the care they need. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am a stay at home mother which gives me free rein over my schedule! If your pets are not child friendly then that’s ok! I can schedule care so there is no child-pet interaction. I treat every pet like they are my own. They’re greeted with love and excitement and given every bit of my attention. All instructions will be followed explicitly and daily updates will be given.
About: Hello! I am so excited to meet all of your fur babies, for as long as I can remember I have loved animals. I have 1 dog named Moose, I have a dog door available for dogs to go outside when I leave the doggy door open. He is obsessed with all other animals and borderline too super friendly (lol)! I typically give him treats in the evening (unless your babies aren’t allowed), we go outside in the morning and evening to play fetch and run! I have a large fenced in yard great for playing. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter & Moose! I’m pretty free & open to keep pets any time of the week, I do lots of walks & runs throughout the week so they get lots of energy out. I prefer a few days notice just to make sure I haven’t driven to Navarre to visit my parents. My dog Moose is basically the ruler of our household, alongside our daughter. We free feed Moose but can adjust his feedings based on when other pets need to be fed! He gets treats daily (both dog treats & toddler snacks). He is allowed on all furniture and comes on most car rides with us, because he loves them so much. He also has a dog door with free range to the yard at all times
“I’m giving her four stars because I truly appreciated her stepping in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled. She also went above and beyond helping with my pool, including draining excess water. A few things concerned me when I returned. My blinds had been chewed, and the food in my puppy Bosco’s bowl appeared to be adult dog food. The adult dogs’ food bin was also empty despite having additional food available, so I was unsure whether everyone received the correct food. I had left detailed written feeding instructions. The house felt very hot when I arrived around midnight, with the thermostat set to 75 degrees. Bosco’s crate was also completely covered, whereas I normally leave the front open so he can see out. I’m grateful for her help and availability. A little more attention to the written instructions and reaching out with any questions would have made the experience better.”
“Michelle has been our preferred dog sitter for a few years now! On our most recent trip, our dog (who is diabetic) decided to not eat for 24 hours. Michelle went above and beyond by buying wet food, boiling chicken, and giving us frequent updates to ease our stress as much as possible. She cares for our pup like he is her own and we couldn’t thank her enough!”
“Jennifer is amazing! She accepted a last minute overnight job and came to meet the animals the same day. The first time my boyfriend and I met her, we immediately liked her as did our dog, Bella. I look forward to booking her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 4 we recently just had to put down our 15 year old pit Bull. I have a 10 year old pit mix that I hold near my heart. I hope as you look at my profile and see me you also believe that I will treat your dog as one of my own and give them the best care while you are away. As of right now I work from home, so that means I am free all day to give your dog the love and care they deserve! I do not have a fenced in yard but i am a couple blocks down from a dog friendly park that we could walk to or even just play in the spacious back yard. I also have a friendly fur baby who would love making a new friend.
“Dianne was amazing with our doggies. The dogs warmed up to her and loved all the playtime. They probably doesn’t want us to come home. Great updates throughout the stay and she went above and beyond.”
About: I gave 2 elderly dogs their pill medication for joint pain. Recently, I was able to give another dog her pill and liquid medicine for a dental issue. I may start college part time soon but as of now, I am available every day so I'd be able to care for your pets as needed. When I was 14, I cared for a neighbor's cat and elderly dogs. I made sure the cat was well fed and the litter box was kept fresh. I also gave both the cat and elderly dogs their required amount of pill medication every morning after walks.
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals throughout life ferrets, dogs, cats, squirrels, turtles, and reptiles a plenty. I love animals and I’m looking forward to watching after yours!! I’m a working musician with plenty of free time at the moment especially Monday-Friday. I’m almost always at home and I should have no problem working with your schedule!!!! I have a fenced in backyard and a home that is pet friendly. I also have two dependable vehicle to see if I need to come walk your dog or take them to the park!
About: I have had dogs all my life and always as a puppy from birth. From Shih Tzus, to labs, and most recently a Great Dane, I have helped train, raise, and keep all sizes. I do work full time, but typically wrap up my day by 3 and every day. I work in east hill and live near downtown. Afternoon/evening/nights are wide open for walks and play time and house checks. Depending on the age and breed of the dog, I like neighborhood walks or easy trail runs. Happy to go to a park or stay in the yard for some fetch or tug of war. Can clean up the yard, water, feed and leave the pet however the client prefers (gated, caged, inside, or outside).
About: I’ve been around dogs of all kind since I was 1 year old. I have been a dog owner literally all of my life. I care fore them as though they are my child. I call my babies dumans. I will love love your dog(s) the same. You will not be disappointed in the care I will provide for your dog(s). I am currently an active duty soldier. I work Monday-Friday weekly. I work 1 weekend out of every month. I am available as much as possible. Being a dog lover myself. I understand 100% of how much a dog owner loves their pet(duman). 😊 They will not be limited of what they can and cannot do. I will ensure they are fed according to owners schedule and potty time in a timely manner.
“Sam was absolutely wonderful with my two Sharpei dogs. They are very much personality wise within the breed characteristics and are suspicious by nature and very shy. Sam knows his animals and did a fantastic job with working with them to make them comfortable. He stayed with them and made sure they were comfortable and came and let them out on his lunchbreak the day we were arriving home so they were not alone all day. He went above and beyond taking care of them. One is a pup with a bit of separation anxiety as I work from home so they are not alone often at all. I will definitely use Sam again for my pets needs. This was so much better of an experience for them than being kenneled somewhere and they would have been scared and lonely. Thank you Sam for everything and I will be recommending Rover to all my friends. It was great to get the updates daily to know that my babies were doing ok. Fantastic experience.”

Samantha is so sweet. She is responsible and follows instructions. She’s respectful of your house and doesn’t leave a mess for when you get home. She leaves the house the way you left it. You wouldn’t even know she was there overnight. My Harley liked her from the beginning which warmed my heart and let me know she was the one bc he can be standoffish. She’ll be my go-to dog sitter every time if available. Thank you Samantha for awesome work and Rover for making it easy to find quality sitters.
Jenna made me feel so comfortable leaving my two very rotten, very spoiled dogs with her for the first time. This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone other than family and I will happily book with her for as long as she lets me. She took great care of them and stayed in touch with me all week with pictures.
Kate was so great with Bones! She was super sweet, kept me updated while I was gone, and took such good care of him. I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her, and he was so happy when I got back! He definitely loved hanging out with her, and I’ll be using her again!
Shannon was so great! She cared for Zeus so well and sent me updates everyday. I could actually relax and enjoy my trip, knowing that he was taken cared for and loved by her. She also left my house so nice and neat. She is a great sitter and I will definitely be booking her again!
I can't express how much I appreciate Haley! I love to travel but am always nervous about leaving my three pups. I never worried about them while Haley was with them for 6 nights. She is exactly what we were looking for in a dog sitter! She sent pictures and texts throughout the day letting us know how my babies were doing. I was so happy to see pictures and videos of them eating, walking, playing outdoors, and sleeping! I still missed them while I was gone but felt so much better knowing they were well taken care of! She is one of the most caring dog sitters we have ever used! We will definitely book with her again!
Michelle has been our preferred dog sitter for a few years now! On our most recent trip, our dog (who is diabetic) decided to not eat for 24 hours. Michelle went above and beyond by buying wet food, boiling chicken, and giving us frequent updates to ease our stress as much as possible. She cares for our pup like he is her own and we couldn’t thank her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Myrtle Grove is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $98 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 607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Myrtle Grove. 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 Myrtle Grove 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 Myrtle Grove 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 Myrtle Grove 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.

- 93% 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.
