“Dora is awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, which we were so grateful for. She took great care of our pup and left the house in great condition! This was our second time having Dora take care of our dog and we were glad to have a reliable sitter! Thank you!!”
“Athena was a wonderful sitter for our dog Hilo. She was patient, caring and responsible. She's a great communicator, kind and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone. She's a trustworthy person who is dependable. We felt right at home having her in our home and are grateful for her.”
“Our 2 dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of. The house was exactly as we left it. Great communication before, during, and after the 3 night stay. We will definitely be using Remus again.”
“Sarah's care for our dog and our house was nothing short of amazing! First, we were very nervous dog parents, having a rescue dog that had been quite timid of people, we didn't know how well a pet/house sitter would work out. But from the start, our pup liked Sarah. Sarah provided us daily updates and photos to ease our minds during our two week absence. It was abundantly clear that our dog was getting stellar care. Walk time, play time, brushing time, cuddling time. And we might add, our dog was looking for Sarah after we returned home. We also picked up some good ideas from Sarah on dog behavior. If that wasn't enough, our home was cared for beautifully. We are so happy we found Sarah, and very grateful for the care she provided! Sarah is very professional, responsive, and loving. We look forward to hiring her again.”
“Emma is an exceptional pet sitter! She responded promptly to our request for a three day/2 night stay and was kind enough to stop by ahead of time to meet us and our dog and two cats. A warm and caring person, she went out of her way to lovingly interact with our “kids,” sending text updates and even sharing some cute pics and videos. We look forward to having Emma petsit for us again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible, caring, and affordable pet sitter.”
“Austin took care of our dogs and home while my husband and I were away for a few days. From the very start he was very responsive. He came to do a meet and greet and I knew then he would be a good fit because our dogs seemed to really like him. He was an excellent communicator, sent daily updates and pictures, and seemed very attentive to our dogs and home. In fact, one of our dogs had an upset tummy and needed to be fed a special diet and extra probiotics and Austin handled that situation quite well. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We will definitely be rebooking Austin for future house sits!”
About: i've been dog-sitting for 4 years now, I have worked at many houses in the San Jose area in California. I have done cat-sitting for my neighbors and dog walking in Ashland. I am free to work many hours and I would love to take care of your pets! I am in grad school at SOU through June of 2027, and I will be student teaching for much of it. I am available for more hours in the afternoons once school is out and before classes begin. Classes for me are only twice a week, and I will make sure to fit in a walk before it gets dark. My home has one cat, and I grew up with a dog, so I know how to take care of both of these animals. I always lock the door before leaving the house, and I check to make sure I know where my animals are at all times when I am home. I am comfortable feeding pets, giving them water, and giving them medicine if needed. I also know how much quality time means to pets, so I can spend extra time with pets after walks.
“Taylor is fantastic!! Friendly, professional, great communication and flexible with my on going schedule changes. She did an in-home drop in to take them out for their business, play with them and give them cuddles. Our pugs love her ❤️ Knowing she was there gave me such peace of mind. We will be using her in the future for all our pug sitting needs.”
About: I grew up around dogs whether it was at home, family members houses or friends houses. I have a lot of experience with dogs of every size. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog, Poppy, and learned everything I needed to know to care for her. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for a few years now and would love to care for yours. My dog usually accompanies me on longer stays if permitted. Pet care is very important and should always fit into any pet owner’s schedule so I have no problem fitting it into mine because they are family. Your furry family member will feel right at home in their own house so that should help keep any anxiety levels down while you are away and it will help with feeding, sleeping and bathing.
“Neil was so thoughtful and took great care of our home and our dog Apollo! We received photos & updates as we requested. Not only did the house look exactly as we had left it, but our dog was happy to see us and didn’t behave as though he was starved for attention—which meant Neil must have been super attentive to his needs. THANK YOU NEIL!!! We’ll definitely use you again!”
“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”
“Laura was wonderful! After meeting her we were very comfortable with leaving our two Shelties with her and having her stay in our home. It was a great relief to find Laura! She was very affectionate with our dogs and showed great attention to understanding the details of caring for them. She bonded with them immediately, and we are sure they missed her after we returned home. Laura stayed in touch while we were away and sent us some really great pictures. We recommend Laura without hesitation!”
About: Hello, I'm Amanda I have 17 years of experience with different breeds of dogs and 11 years of experience with cats. I enjoy going on long walks and letting all of the fun loving energy out of furry friends! I currently set my own schedule I like to pet sit in between my travels and art projects. I like to enjoy meeting new pets and nature. I have a unfenced large yard that is also equipped with a river rock enclosed area and I live in a beautiful quiet neighborhood for long peaceful walks.
“Thank you Alexandria for taking care of our rambunctious cattle dogs for a week at our house! We returned to happy and healthy pups. So glad they were able to stay at home where they are comfortable with a new friend to play with, plus a special trip to the dog park!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Talent
Sophia is an exceptional pet sitter. She stayed at my house and took great care of my dog who felt comfortable with her right away. She took him on walks, played with him in the backyard, and gave him plenty of snuggles and attention. She sent me photo and video updates of my sweet boy. When I came home, everything was taken care of and my dog and my house looked great. I highly recommend Sophia for any pet sitting needs.
We were so happy with Atlas (Alyssa) and the care she provided for our dog, Marvin Gayy. As a French Bulldog with a few extra needs, Marvin requires a little more attention, and Atlas was confident, attentive, and never hesitated to ask questions when needed. She kept us updated with photos, and Marvin seemed to really enjoy getting to know her. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We'd happily book with Atlas again!
Sarah was incredible with our squishy-faced girl! She even saved our bacon with some extra check-ins when our flight unexpectedly changed/severely delayed. Sarah helped with our HelloFresh delivery and went above and beyond to tidy up. Very impressed, and beyond grateful for her help & care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Talent is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 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 240 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Talent. 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 Talent 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 Talent 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 Talent 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 Talent. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
