“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”
“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!
“We had an amazing experience with Melissa! She stayed in our home for a week with our two dogs, one of whom has severe anxiety. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, gave him the space he needed, carefully read his body language, and earned his trust. She was reliable with his daily medications and patient in helping him feel comfortable. Our home was left spotless and respected, and it was clear she treated both our dogs and our space with great care. She even surprised us with a kind and thoughtful gesture at the end of the stay, which meant so much to our family. We are so grateful to have found her and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional sitter!”
“Debora was great at communicating and sending pictures updates of my girls!!! Definitely made me feel at ease not having to worry about my anxiety filled pups while I was away. Would highly recommend ❤️”
“What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ivy, while I was away for a family memorial. She kept me updated every day with pictures and messages, took Ivy on walks, helped with her grooming needs, and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Ivy was so relaxed with her, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, Andrea left my home in great condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter truly attentive, kind, and reliable. Highly recommend!”
About: I have two dogs and a cat myself. I have always taken care of pets since I was little. I love going on walks and playing. I am currently a full time employee but I have free time on the weekends and after work to provide care to any age pets. I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs and a cat who sleeps all day. I am very good about getting pets out for bathroom breaks and getting their energy out.
“Sydney and her roommate Kirsten did an amazing job watching our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend! They were available on short notice. They sent daily photos and updates which kept us at ease while we were away from our pup! I would definitely recommend both Sydney and Kirsten to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely reach out again to watch our pets!”
“Karyn was extremely caring of our two dogs Luna & Scout. She and the dogs bonded well while we were away. Her updates and photos were great and made us feel like we were back at home. Great job Karyn!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal care professional with 15 years of experience as a zookeeper, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for and working with all kinds of species, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior, individual needs, and the importance of patience, compassion, and trust. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior, or simply loves some extra attention, I’m comfortable meeting them where they are and providing care tailored to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own! I work from home with a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of time and availability to provide attentive care and drop-in visits for your pets. Since I have pets of my own, I primarily focus on drop-in visits. However, I’m always happy to discuss other options to find the best arrangement for you and your pets.

The average cost of House Sitting in Tacketts Mill is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 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.

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 Tacketts Mill 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 Tacketts Mill 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 Tacketts Mill 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.
