Emily took great care of our zoo while we were out of town! She gave so many updates and pictures. Our pets were happy and well cared for when we got home. My dog especially loved Emily for cuddles! 10/10 would rebook!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own & previously owned a medium sized dog. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work mornings and am typically off by noon, so I have plenty of availability for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I occasionally have afternoon appointments, but my schedule is flexible and I’ll always communicate my availability in advance. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.

Jenna was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. We have two fairly large dogs and she got a long great with both! She was punctual and sent photos daily. I would absolutely use Jenna again.

Rodney came to my rescue! Recently I had to go to the ER during the night and I was worried about who would take care of my dogs in the morning. I was able to contact him around 7:00 a.m. so he could come over and take care of the dogs. Potentially it could have been an overnight, but that wasn't needed. It was so wonderful to know that my dogs would be well cared for before and after my return home! Usually he just comes for a drop-in visit every other week, but this required more visits. The dogs are still getting used to him, but he works very hard to get them to trust him and it is paying off. Thank you, Rodney!

This was our first time having a dog sitter stay in our house and watch our babies and Michelle exceeded our expectations! She provided us with updates and photos throughout the day and truly eased our minds while we were away for our wedding weekend. We will definitely be using Michelle again anytime we are out of town. We knew the dogs felt comfortable with her bc they don’t usually sleep with my mom when she house sits, but they slept with Michelle after one night of her being there. If that doesn’t say something about how they felt idk what does!

Sara did an amazing job. She met with us and our (very old and needy) dogs. They all took to her immediately, and our husky is very shy! She sent photos and kept in great contact with us. The house was also left spotless. 10 out of 10 recommend!! We will definitely call her again.

Trevor was attentive to my highly active german shepherds and two cats. He left the house in great shape, and walked the dogs willingly, which ive never had another pet sitter do before. He was inquisitive about the house and responsive if I had any questions. He was extremely communicative throughout watching them as well

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Willow and Scout this weekend! From the beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She gave them so much love and attention, kept us updated, and treated them like her own. Scout can be a very nervous dog and doesn’t always warm up to people quickly, so it meant so much to us that he warmed up to her almost immediately! Seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two very happy pups, and we are incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave them. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving with their pets. We will definitely be asking her to watch Willow and Scout again! 🐶 🐾 🐶

About: I have over a year of experience dog sitting both drop in visits and overnight. I can adjust to any specific needs your pet may need including administering pills and most other medication. I take care of five of my beloved cats at home. They’re very spoiled so my routine involves cleaning their water fountain each week along with their litter robot whenever it needs to be emptied. I provide puzzle toys for enrichment and have even taught one of my cats a trick he does for his wet food dinner. When taking care of a families home I always make sure to leave things the same way they were when I arrived. Whether that being washing any dishes I used and remaking the bed so things are tidy when they return.

About: I’ve always grown up in a home with at least two animals, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats—I’ve also cared for birds and bearded dragons, and I truly love animals of all kinds! I’m happy to meet you and your pet wherever you need the most support. I’m comfortable maintaining established training routines, keeping pet areas clean and organized, and providing extra care for senior or special-needs animals. This includes assisting with medications, helping navigate stairs, providing diaper changes when needed, and giving them the patience, attention, and comfort they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime and cuddles, help sticking to their routine, or a little extra care and attention, I’m happy to help! I’m a college student with classes primarily in the mornings and typically finish in the mid-afternoon, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available full-time on weekends and if needed during the week, I can often stop by in the early mornings, during lunch breaks, or in the afternoons to make sure your pets are happy and on schedule. I understand that every pet has a different routine, so I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m also committed to communicating my class schedule and availability clearly and promptly, while making sure we’re on the same page about your pet’s care, routines, and expectations. Your pet’s well-being comes first, and I’ll make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in reliable and caring hands! I treat every pet and home with the same care, respect, and attention I would want for my own. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, training expectations, and any special instructions. I would love to stop by and meet you and your pet prior to the booking if possible, putting faces to names. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. Depending on the service will dictate how much time in your space I will spend. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets or animals who need extra assistance, including help with stairs, diapers, or medications. I’ll communicate with the owner throughout the booking and am happy to provide updates and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Ehlaura is wonderful! She watched our whole zoo of animals (3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 rats) this weekend and they all seemed to love her. Even our very timid cat warmed up and even allowed her to pick him up…which is huge. She sent me lots of pictures and updates which really helped with my anxiety of being away from them. Will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tabb

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Tabb on Rover is $39.41 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,280 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tabb. 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 Tabb 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 Tabb 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 Tabb 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 Tabb. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
