“Jared stayed over night with our dog Moose. He was very communicative, sent constant picture updates and was also very flexible on timing. He made sure Moose was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jared for any future needs for Moose.”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, and taking care of them! I also have experience with senior animals! Mostly available evenings and weekends. I will work with you to schedule times that work for you and your animals. I will be as flexible as possible! For dogs, I can walk, feed, play with them, and give them medicine if needed. For cats, I can play, feed, change litter boxes, and make sure they are happy!
About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.
“Tashani was literally the best -- she was super communicative and sent through daily updates about Libby & Cinder! We got back from a week-long trip to a clean house, happy animals, and a flourishing garden. We'll definitely work with Tashani for future trips!!”
“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”
“Jessica was lovely to work with. She sent pictures of our dogs to me every day that we were away. She also cared for our chickens. She was respectful of our home and communicated what times she would be there. Will use again in the future!”
“Jessica was very attentive to our 13 yr old dog, making sure he was well fed and got his multiple medications. She kept us updated with videos and photos. He was happy to see us when we got home but I think he also missed Jessica!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over three years. I’ve had various experiences with dogs and cats. As someone who has a dog of their own, I’ve been able to observe behaviors that’s helped when taking care of other dogs, to understand their needs and wants. I currently work remotely however, it doesn’t take time away when it comes to the fur babies! In fact, it allows me to be present and give them the much needed attention. I understand the environment the pets are settled in. I give daily updates to the home owner, making sure that any anxiety of leaving their pets behind is relieved. I bring my own food and care.
About: I've been a forever dog and cat lover and have jumped at the chance to care for pets at every point in my life. I'm now lucky to have the availability and flexibility to care for them all week long. I am pursuing my own business development on the side and am therefore flexible to care for animals for the majority of the week, other than at times when I happen to need to travel myself. As I am not working any sort of ordinary job or 9-5, I have a great amount of availability and flexibility in hours. I take care of pets in their own homes (at the client's home), and my services range from staying overnight to walking/checking in/providing breaks throughout the day, either on a sporadic or more consistent basis, depending on the client's need.
“Aiden did an amazing job with watching our dog and house while we were away for 5 nights. Dog was well cared for, happy and comfortable while we were away. Aiden was very communicative and we returned home to our house as clean as we left it. Thank you, Aiden!”
“Samantha had a wonderful stay with our pup! I appreciate her friendliness, professionalism, neatness, attention to detail, and love for animals! She sent photos of our pup each day with reassuring and positive updates. She was easy to reach and responded quickly to texts. She left a lovely thank you note, which was such a nice unexpected touch! Our home was in perfect order when we returned. My pup was a happy boy when we returned! I’ve just booked another week with her!”
“Having Julie G house sit and care for my 85 lb. hound Dave was dreamlike. She seemed to accept and appreciate Dave and his coonhound ways seamlessly from the jump. She took copious notes about Da daily needs and expectations at the meet & greet, asked intelligent questions about his routine and I was able to leave town completely confident Dave was in good loving hands. She sent me daily pics and reports while I was away, and left Dave mellower and the house cleaner than it was when I left. A terrific experience from my perspective Can't recommend Julie G strongly enough as a house and hound sitter.”
“Janessa is amazing and so trustworthy!!! She watched our 2 dogs while we were away and we didn’t have to worry at all. She provided just enough updates and we came home to a clean house! Would highly recommend Janessa”
About: I’ve always been around dogs for many years and family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care. For their pets, I have done bathing, feeding, regular walks, and playtime. I have flexibility in the afternoons after work from 4pm and forward. Monday through Friday and open during the weekends. Plenty of time to care for your pet! I am only able to offer drop in visits and dog walks if needed since I do not own a place, I currently rent and able to drive to other places.
“To say Melissa went above and beyond would be an understatement! She showed up for us on short notice and took good care of our pups on Thanksgiving! Thank you Melissa, Tex and Brady felt the love and we loved the piece of mind knowing they were in good hands!”
“Eryn was a great sitter for our kitties! She stayed overnight and made our kitties feel very comfortable. She was punctual and communicative. We will for sure be using her again! Thanks Eryn :)”
About: Hi! I’m Meghan! Lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, nurse, NP student, and very proud mom to a house full of four-legged chaos aka my “zoo”. 🐾 Animals have quite literally always been part of my life. I have 25+ years of experience caring for dogs and 18+ years caring for cats, and I’ve been pet sitting through Rover since my early college days. At home, I have four pets of my own: three cats and one dog, so I completely understand that our pets aren’t “just pets.” They’re family, and leaving them with someone else requires a whole lot of trust. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, sizes, and energy levels… from wild little puppies who think everything is a snack to sweet senior pets who prefer a slower pace and some extra TLC. ❤️ As a registered nurse, I’m calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and very comfortable following specific care instructions. I can administer oral AND IM medications, accommodate special feeding routines, and provide attentive care for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and monitoring. My schedule is also a little different than your typical 9–5! I currently work about 24 hours per week as an ER nurse while also attending school, which gives me flexibility for daytime visits, odd hours, walks, and varying schedules. If your pet has a routine, I’ll do my best to keep it feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. And yes, I’m absolutely the sitter who will send you way too many pictures and updates. 😂📸 I want you to be able to enjoy your trip, workday, or time away knowing your babies are safe, happy, loved, and probably being spoiled. What you can expect from me: 🐶 25+ years of dog experience 🐱 18+ years of cat experience 🐾 10+ years Longtime Rover sitter 💊 Comfortable administering oral & IM medications 👵 Senior pet care 🍼 Puppy & kitten care 🦮 Dog walking & exercise 🏡 Drop-ins & house sitting ⏰ Flexible availability, including odd hours 📸 Plenty of photos and updates ❤️ Lots of patience, cuddles, playtime, and individualized attention Every animal has their own personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things and getting to know those little details is honestly one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy, your cat needs someone to respectfully earn their approval from across the room, or your senior baby just needs a calm companion while you’re away, I’d love to be their new favorite sitter. 🐾❤️ I truly couldn’t imagine life without animals, and I’ll care for yours just like I do my own. I also promise to send you an obscene number of adorable photo updates, because let’s be honest, your pets are way too cute not to share. 🐶🐱💕 Pet care is truly built into the rhythm of my everyday life! I start each morning with breakfast for my crew. Everyone has their own food, routine, and needs (including medications), so I’m very used to managing individualized care. Dinner is served right at 5PM, and I take pride in keeping everything consistent and stress-free for them. My favorite part of the day? Cuddle time—whether we’re curled up on the couch or relaxing outside together, those moments are pure magic. For my dogs, daily walks and park trips are a must! We’re lucky to have a great open space nearby where they can run freely, sniff everything in sight, and just be dogs. Caring for pets isn’t a chore for me—it’s one of the most joyful, grounding parts of my day. Whether they have paws, whiskers, or wagging tails, they’re family. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit, going on a walk, or staying overnight in your home. In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite hiding spots and potty routines. I always double-check that doors are locked, gates are secure, and your pet is happy and safe before I leave. For walks, I use secure harnesses or collars, avoid high-traffic areas, and stay alert to your pet’s comfort level. No matter the service, I treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I give my own. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment that your pet feels safe in—because when you’re away, they deserve to feel at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Granby
Amber stayed overnight to care for our home and our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She paid close attention to every detail we shared, especially for one of our dogs who is still a puppy, and was thoughtful about their individual quirks and routines. She took them on walks, followed all of our requests exactly, and clearly made them feel comfortable and loved...they adored her. Our home was spotless and well cared for when we returned. Amber truly went above and beyond when our flight was unexpectedly delayed, stopping by to care for our dogs even though that was not part of the original plan. That level of reliability and kindness gave us such peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive house and pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Granby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Granby on Rover is $55.5 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 1,253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Granby. 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 West Granby 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 West Granby 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 West Granby 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Granby. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
