About: Hi, I'm Tresa, and I have enjoyed being around animals my whole life! I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, and even bison. I am a fully certified local elementary school teacher with a completely open, flexible schedule until August 1st. Because I am currently on summer break and do not have any pets or children of my own, your animals will receive 100% of my dedicated attention, routines, and care.As a professional educator, I am background-checked, highly organized, and deeply responsible. I specialize in overnight house sitting and daytime drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule, long walks, or just a calm companion to prevent separation anxiety, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I look forward to giving you peace of mind during your summer travels! Because I am currently on summer break and fully off from teaching until August 1st, pet care is my primary focus and fits seamlessly into my schedule. This means I can work seamlessly with you pet's schedule and needs. As an educator, I know that routine equals safety and comfort for animals, just like it does for students. When staying in your home, my top priority is maintaining absolute consistency so your pet experiences zero stress while you are away.
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of our two dogs for the week. We received daily updates and we were extremely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Our house was also as clean if not cleaner than we left it.”
“Nidia was wonderful while watching my dog Gus for an extended weekend. She was able to come by before hand to meet Gus and myself so we could have introductions and to ensure it was a good fit. While away, she sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. When I got home it was also clear she cleaned up a bit and was a great guest!”
“Julie was amazing! We are new to using this site and were very apprehensive about who we chose to house & pet sit for us. We couldn’t have gotten luckier choosing Julie. She provided very reliable & frequent updates and followed our instructions. It was so great to have peace of mind leaving our babies in her care!”

“This was a repeat visit with Rachel. We didn't worry about the safety of our girls while we were gone for the holidays. Our fur kids were even sad to see her go home. We have already rebooked for Christmas, and will continue to use Rachel in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boyd
Hannah took amazing care of my dogs and cats, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly treated all of my pets like they were her own. She kept me updated while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. She also went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used during her stay. This was never expected, but it was such a thoughtful surprise to come home to after a long day of traveling. It’s little acts of kindness like that that truly set her apart. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Boyd
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boyd on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,922 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boyd. 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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 Boyd 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.
