Michelle was wonderful and provided us with daily pictures. We appreciated that she was able to puppy sit last minute and over a holiday weekend.

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.

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!

Laura is a dream! From first contact through our entire house sit, she was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging. She was great with my peculiar, needy Sphynx cats and not only followed our care instructions exactly, but went above and beyond for my two cats! They absolutely loved her from the first day, which is so rare. I got frequent updates multiple times a day and the best pictures and videos of them. She left our house extremely clean and we would be insane to not book her anytime she is available!

About: I’ve cared for a handful of pets at my house for friends and coworkers. I’ve never had an issue and the animals always enjoyed the experience. I recently retired from the military and have not taken any jobs. Most days, I’m am fully available to take care of your animals. I have a fenced in yard, but I will always go out with your animals to ensure they don’t feel alone and can feel comfortable with the surroundings.

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! 🐶 🐾 🐶

Ehlaura was amazing. Not only did she take my booking last minute, but she took GREAT care of my senior dogs. There were multiple curve balls over the few days she stayed with them and she was very communicative about everything. My dogs certainly gave her a run for her money, but she handled everything so well and made me incredibly glad that I’d found her so last minute. I would have been much more worried about my dogs without her great care and communication.

Elena took great care of Charlie while we went out of town for a night. There was some miscommunication at the end where she stayed past the time we had her booked for - I think she wanted to make sure we got back first to ensure Charlie was taken care of while we booked knowing we would likely be home past that time. I’m glad we were only back 30 mins after she was scheduled for!

About: With 20+ years of personal experience and 5+ professionally, I'm Pet CPR certified, trained to give shots, and care for all pets - furry, scaled or pocket sized. I work from home full-time, so I have flexibility. I've boarded in-home and am comfortable with your-home overnights. I'm happy for lunch-time dog walks (depending on distance), or travel visits while you're away. I have a hedged in yard, but also have a lead line so they can run free. Lots of love and attention. Ample potty breaks and treats (if allowed). I have a small dog, who loves everyone and a skittish cat that probably won't be seen.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tabb

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Tabb on Rover is $38.85 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 1,279 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.
