“I'm a person with really high standards and I was impressed with Emilie. She can be quiet and a little shy at first, but ultimately is incredibly communicative. She cares a lot about getting the details right and I truly appreciated how much it mattered to her to understand our directions as clearly as possible. She's the kind of person that is observant to the nuances of animals. And our cats took to her right away! I would undoubtedly hire her again. She's a gem.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many friend and family dogs and cats. I generally love to spend time with dogs and cats. I love to give them attention, cuddles, and of course belly rubs. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I can house sit anytime between Thursday and Monday. I can walk and check in on your fur baby as many times as needed. I will follow any house rules and general rules you have for your fur baby. I will give your pet all the attention they require and keep them to their routines and habits. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of while you are away.

She made sure to send me photos and videos, and kept me updated on his walks, how he slept, and his little quirks.

Gabriana is amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days while we were on vacation, taking care of our dog Bertie who was recovering from knee surgery. Not only did she take exceptional care of him (some meds, dressing the would, etc) but our house was spotless when we got back!
Peggy was an absolute dream! I always get a little nervous leaving my cat with someone new but my cat warmed up to Peggy so quickly because she has such a warm and loving energy. She was very communicative and sent adorable photo and video updates. Do not miss out on having Peggy care for your pets. Will absolutely be reaching back out to her! She’s simply the best.
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.
Sarah and David were absolutely exceptional with our two dogs. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. They provided regular updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. It was clear that Sarah and David genuinely love and understand dogs. Our two pups were treated like members of their family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and outstanding care. When we returned, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Sarah and David were professional, reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would trust them with our dogs again without hesitation. We highly recommend Sarah and David to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our dogs—we are incredibly grateful! ❤️🐾🐾
Liency was amazing with my 2 dogs and cat. My dogs are a bit temper-mental and she’s been so professional in how she handles them. She updated me 2x a day with photos and reassurance that they were doing great. Additionally one if my dogs has to take meds and get eye drops throughout the day and liency was a pro handling that. Thanks so much, will definitely book again!
Jovi can be quite particular with whom he is comfortable with, so it was a great sign that he did not bark at Polli at our meet and greet. When she arrived for sitting, he was just fine with her in the apartment and didn't try to bark at her to leave. It is always nice to feel your dog is comfortable when leaving! I was gone for a week and when I got home Jovi was clearly well cared for. Polli did a great job getting new pony tails for him so he could see, the house was clean, and Jovi was in good spirits!
Jana was amazing!!! We were panicking because Ollie started having an upset stomach the night before she started watching him, but she handled it so well, helped us talk to our vet, and even made him rice to help with his stomach. She kept us updated and he felt better after a couple of days. We’re so grateful for her taking such good care of him. She also kept the house clean, which we really appreciate! Thank you so much!! 🩷
I have a reactive German Shepherd, and it can be difficult introducing her to new people. Lio (Jenny) was incredibly patient with us and very understanding of the challenges that come with having a reactive dog. I honestly thought I would never be able to get my dog to trust a new person, let alone leave her alone with them. But my dog felt safe and comfortable with Lio and took to them very well. We left for a 5-day trip, and Lio was very communicative and attentive to the dogs the entire time. Sent us plenty of pictures and videos. I could also tell our house was well taken care of. I feel so relieved to have found someone like Lio that I can truly trust to take care of my babies
Aleena is absolutely wonderful! She recently watched our two senior Chihuahuas, Piggy and Lucy, and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Since our dogs are older, we are always a bit nervous leaving them, but Aleena made us feel at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and provided consistent updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that they felt completely comfortable around her and really thrived with her company. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to animals, we highly recommend Aleena. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Avi is the best! Our pups have major stranger danger but Avi worked with them before our booking to make them comfortable. Avi is patient and very understanding, we trust them so much and our pups do too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relatable and trustworthy sitter!
Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!
Yureli and Kairo were awesome. They were in constant communication with us, sending daily pictures and videos and even offering to FaceTime so we could talk to our doggies. They were kind and attentive to the pups, taking genuine care and giving them lots of love. And they kept the apartment super clean, even going so far as to wash everything before they left. We will definitely be booking them again!

FAQs for House Sitting - City Terrace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in City Terrace on Rover is $48.15 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 15,143 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across City Terrace. 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 City Terrace 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 City Terrace 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 City Terrace 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 City Terrace. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
