“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”
“Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.”
“Ehlaura took good care of our two golden retrievers and the house! Everything was in good order and the dogs were happy when we returned. I’d have no problem contacting her again.”
“Halley was awesome! Super responsive and very kind. She treated our house with respect and our little beagle was a happy fella when we got home! Hoping to stay in touch with Halley for our dog sitting!”
“Michelle was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and they loved her instantly. She kept me updated on everything and provided lots of pictures. I would recommend her to everyone.”
“Haven took a super last minute request to care for my senior dog while my family and I went out to dinner on vacation! She was fantastic with my high needs boy. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him while we were away. Thank you, Haven!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am a part time student athlete located in Wilson NC, i am usually available on Thursdays and Tuesdays. Please send me a message if you are confused about my availability! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy
“We booked the house sitting with Jade and she did an amazing job! She walked are dogs often, sent us pictures, and communicated throughout her stay. She left the house nice and tidy! She respected our home & our two fur babies ? we will definitely be using Jades services again! Thank you, Jade! (:”
“Keyana was amazing! It looks like I never left and my pets are happy and healthy. She did a great job with comminution, even in the early morning. If she's available, book her ASAP! You won't regret it!”
“Recommended! Qasheedra stayed at our home and took care of our 4 pets while we were away for a week, and we had a great experience… excellent communication and was able to handle our pets’ various idiosyncrasies from picky eaters to storm anxiety and was even able to accommodate an additional day for us to extend our trip. We came back to a clean home and happy & content pets :)”
“I can't believe I neglected to write this review for so long! Likely because I returned home and was so comfortable and knew the dogs were safe and sound thanks to Deborah's”
“Anna did wonderful with my cane corso, Saphira and Saphira really enjoyed her time with Anna as well. Anna followed all of our instructions and kept me updated throughout the day with lovely pictures. I would recommend Anna and will be using her in the future.”
“Samantha was great with my Pug, Benji, right from the start. We did a meet and greet at Yorktown beach and she was a natural from the start! She even walked Benji for me while we got to know each other. Samantha is trustworthy and caring when it comes to our furry little animals that we treat like our own kids. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Samantha!”
About: I ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience for your furry, scaly, or finned friends while you're away. Whether it's a lazy stroll for your pup, ensuring your cat's needs, or tending to your aquatic or reptilian companions, rest assured that they're in loving and capable hands! I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furbabies, I’m just a call away if there is an immediate need! I’m available at just about all times! I care for pets in my clients home and fur-babies as I do my own, if there is a fenced in yard I always double check that gates are locked. I make sure to check their food, water, look around the home to make sure there isn’t anything that needs to be tidied up. I make sure any non-safe objects are out of reach.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and many other species since I was a young girl! I recently have gone to vet assistant course and worked at Banfield for a year or so. I am currently a trade student available Monday through Thursday after 3 pm. I am also open to Friday through Sunday varying times upon request! I have experience in shelter kennels as well as veterinary and my own life experience. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I am good with feedings/walks/play etc!
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so I know how much they mean to your family — and how much peace of mind you need when you're away. I'm new to pet sitting professionally, but I've spent years caring for my own pets and helping friends and neighbors with theirs, from daily walks to overnight stays. I'm patient and attentive, and I treat every dog like my own — sticking to their routine, giving plenty of exercise, and sending photo updates so you always know how they're doing. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a walk, or staying overnight, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and loved the whole time you're gone. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable before booking! I work full-time on a set schedule, so pet care fits neatly around it. I'm available for walks and drop-ins before 8am, over lunch, and after 5pm on weekdays. Evenings and overnights are wide open for house sitting, so your dog always has company when it matters most. Safety and routine come first, always in your pet's own home. During walks and drop-ins, I stick closely to their schedule, keep a close eye on leashes, gates, and doors, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care as your pet — keeping things tidy and secure, sticking to their feeding and routine, and sending regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going.
“Barbara is a loving pet sitter and took wonderful care of my house! She let me know what my pets were doing each day and handled them with loving care. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have grown up with them since I was a toddler. Since December 2024, I've worked at Pawscienda in Montpelier, VA, where I've been trained as a Lead Kennel Technician. In that role, I care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even the occasional bunny! My experience includes feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior and health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I also have a one year old, fully trained puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands-on experience with training, patience, and understanding a dog's individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs special medical care, I'll make sure they receive the same attention and care I'd want for my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Outside of class, I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I will also be available some weekends and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight care if necessary. No matter what, i'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, allowing pets to stay in the environment they're most familiar with and comfortable in. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll follow your instructions carefully. From feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special care they may need. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way.

Lauren is such a fantastic and caring pet sitter! She always takes such wonderful care of my three pups, and they love when she sits them! Lauren communicates throughout her visit and and always checks in if she has a concern. I feel completely at ease when Lauren is taking care of my babies.
Rodney did a wonderful job walking Hubert and taking on a last-minute request. He was responsive, very accommodating to come and do the meet-and-greet, and clearly was a professional at what he was doing. We received excellent updates with what was going on with our dog and felt like he and our home were in good care while he watched it over a long weekend. Would book again!
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!
Sarah is an absolute joy and we feel so lucky that she was our house sitter to care for our elderly cat. She gave us peace of mind and we knew he was well cared for and that she could handle any emergency. The house was spotless when we came home. Recommend without any hesitation and feel lucky that we can finally travel again.
Sarai took excellent care of our little crew. She communicated throughout the entire stay providing photos and updates. She cleaned up after our kitty had a suspected seizure (known condition). Sarai was respectful of our home. We are very happy to have her back in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tabb is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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 November 2026, there are 1,282 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tabb. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
