“Each time DeVona stayed with our Norie she was awesome! I loved ❤️ receiving pictures of our baby girl on her daily walks and at nap time. DeVona also went that extra mile by doing extra misc. things around our house and keeping it the way we left it. I would highly recommend DeVona to all my friends and family. Thanks DeVona!!”
“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”
“Sophia was absolutely amazing with Milo and Chase! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She was incredibly sweet and attentive with them, took them on extra walks, and made sure they got plenty of love and exercise. We really appreciated the constant updates—she shared tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even surprised us with extra photos and a detailed progress report, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% trust her with Milo and Chase again. Highly recommend Sophia!”
“We never worry when we're away and Amaris is taking care of our pups. She sends photo updates, checks in with us on a regular basis and is super sweet. She's helped us in a pinch when we've needed a dog sitter last minute. She's the best! I would highly recommend Amaris for anyone going out of town and looking for a sitter.”
“We are always so grateful to book Nick to care for our dog, Winston! It gives us complete peace of mind knowing Winston is in such great hands. Thanks again, Nick, for everything you do — we truly appreciate you!”

My main focus is to make sure your pets needs and wants are attended to the fullest. I never leave food around and am always reachable.
“Mariah is amazing and so attentive to detail! My pup can be nervous and shy with unfamiliar people, but Mariah did a great job helping her warm up to her. She is very responsive and great to work with 💜”
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for and loved so many dogs, birds, cats, and small creatures. I am an animal lover and have raised my children around all kinds of animals, which they now have a love for. I have taken in so many animals that have been rescued, abandoned, or just owner surrender. I now volunteer with a local rescue that transports all over the state of Fl. I have worked in the Veterinary field for few years and know how to care for your family. I also have 4 dogs and 2 cats myself and they are spoiled family members. I look forward in helping you with your fur baby's needs. I am currently just walking, sitting, and caring for any pet that needs my help and I love doing this!! Right it's just part time but I hope to make it full time job. For now, I will only be able to care for animals in their own homes and environments and follow the request of care by the owner
“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”
“If I could leave 6 stars for Ian, I would. We did a meet and greet and what stood out to me was how attentive he was and how he took notes on both Maui and my homes care. While away, Ian kept me updated on how Maui was doing and ensured he was happy. I truly appreciate how much Ian respected my home and left it tidy and clean.”
“Adriana did such an amazing job watching my two dogs! They absolutely loved her from the moment she walked in the door, & they don’t cozy up to just anyone! I got tons of photos & updates while I was away which had me at ease. You can really tell she cares for your animals & treats them as her own! I also came home to a completely spotless & clean house which was the cherry on top after coming home from a long trip! Loved having Adriana & would absolutely rebook :)”
“Gabrielle was wonderful! Our Dog Liberty had so much fun with her, she even got her to walk on her leash and walks without pulling, which we can never do, so not only did she do a great job walking and taking care of her, she was teaching/training her as well! We got tons of pics and videos and updates and she left our house nice and clean when she was done! We will definitely be using her again and trust her anytime with our pup!”
“Kristina was an absolute delight! She responded promptly to my request and my dog absolutely loved her. She kept me updated was on time and was willing to make adjustments based upon my plans for the weekend. I would absolutely use her again very professional kind and warm hearted.”
“My doodles were so well taken care of. I was in the hospital and I knew I had nothing to worry about with Kris being there. I would highly recommend her to anyone. You can just tell she loves animals. Thanks Kris! ♥️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taft
Susan was amazing. She sent us daily updates and pictures of how our baby was doing. She provided excellent care, including wound care rebandaging daily. She stayed at our house and was there to keep Sasha company and love on her. We had complete peace of mind knowing that Susan was providing excellent care for our sweet girl.
Sophia is incredible! She was so detailed during our meet and greet and had thoughtful questions ready to make sure she was able to take the best care of my furry friends. During her stay, she was thorough and considerate and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos. My dog gets anxious with new people sometimes and he immediately took to her and I could tell in the pictures how wonderful she was with him. I can’t recommend Sophia enough and will absolutely request her help in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Taft
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taft on Rover is $40.74 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,141 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taft. 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 Taft 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 Taft 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 Taft 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.

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.
