About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in 7th grade (now a recent college graduate!!) and am looking to start searching for clients consistently again. I’ve watched over cats and dogs and also have experience with with both species that required medication. Growing up with two diabetic cats (and then some) allowed me to learn how to administer insulin by myself and how to administer pills. Being able to trust someone with your pet is hard and knowing they’re in good hands is a huge stress reliever. My goal is to not only to watch over and care for your pet(s), but to take the weight off your shoulders when you aren’t able to be home with them. I am currently looking for a full time job and being a pet sitter will allow me to earn a little extra on the side. I do not board pets as I don't have a current permanent residence of my own (living with my partner and their family), but am more than willing to stay overnight in a clients home. I ensure safety by checking in on a clients pet regularly should I not be needed 24/7 and make sure to not only watch, but care for the clients pet. My visits (when sleeping over isn’t required) typically range from 1 hour or a little over to be able to spend quality time with a clients pet(s), especially when the owner is gone for a longer period of time.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Lyric, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I grew up with pets and have turned that lifelong love into professional experience. I spent a year working at a pet boarding facility and currently work in a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for pets and support their families every day. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I currently work nights at a veterinary emergency hospital, which leaves my daytime and early mornings open for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: As a college student and lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I currently have two cats of my own and grew up with Rottweilers & Cane Corsos! So I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines and pet personalities so they can stay comfortable and happy! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, walks, or companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to being dependable and communicative. I do my best to accommodate different schedules and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away from your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain clean and secure environments, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and loving experience for them!

About: This is the first time in my life I have no pets and I miss all the snuggles and fun and love we give each other. My kitties have since all died and I miss having them around. I cannot have any at my home currently, soooo I want to take care of yours! I have had kitties since I was 5 years old so they have Always been in my life, for the past 40 years. (I recently supplemented by going to the local cat cafe several times a week to get my kitty fix!) My family also had a Chow Chow dog growing up as well! As an adult I have had my own kitties that I was solely responsible for since I was 20 years old. I have fostered a litter of kittens and foster failed (and gained the love of my live - my Dinah who lived for 18 years). For kitties, I can expertly handle feedings, watering, administering pills, subcutaneuous fluids, and playing with them and snuggling and loving them as they allow. :) For Dogs, I have pet sit small and mid size to somewhat large dogs, staying with them overnight to snuggle, feed, water, take on walks and play! And cleaning up their messes. :) I am open to stopping by to let your pups out for a bathroom break and feedings and some playtime as well as overnight stays. How can I help keep your puppies and kitties safe, well and loved? For stop-ins, I am available mornings 7 days a week. I am available evenings after 8pm or 9pm (Mon-Thurs), and a bit earlier Fri-Sun. I can do midday stop-ins on Mon, Wed and Thurs, and some Fridays. My schedule varies a bit but I am available most weekends. And as long as I am in town, I can do any overnights needed! Message me to verify! I can care for your animals in your own home! Let me know what they need and I will follow instructions needed for your specific situation.

Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was very friendly and highly skilled with caring for dogs, Anna stayed at my house while I was away, and she bonded with my dog instantly. I was completely impressed with her ability to interact and connect with my dog. Anna was really good with following through with my requests regarding my dogs diet, and she followed up with me right away with any concerns. Anna is very reliable, trustworthy and honest, I highly recommend Anna to care for anyone’s pets. And FYI, she also willingly and lovingly cared for and fed my bird. Leaving my dog is hard for me, my heart aches to leave him behind, I never imagined I would find someone who could love my dog much ad I do, but Anna 100% exceeded my expectations.

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.
