“We have used Teresa several times now and she always does a great job. The house is in great condition and our pup seems very happy. She is very good to respond to communication while we’re away. Will definitely continue to use her.”
About: Call me Kat or Anna! I've been living with animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. From the age of 13, I have been taking care of my neighbours' and family friends' pets when they ask. I've got experience with rodents, lizards, cats, and dogs, but I'm not afraid to learn new animals! I've got particular experience with special needs pets, including post-surgery care, asthma, seniors, separation anxiety, leaky bladders, and daily oral/injection medication. I'm not squeamish around messes, smells, or loud noise. I've cared for nearly every personality out there, and whether your pet wants space, cuddles, or needs a bath, I'll help out for as long as you and your pets need, no matter how many or how weird they are! I'm currently a college student and take classes on monday/wednesday from 12pm-3pm and tuesday/thursday from 6pm-9pm. During those hours, I will not be available. I am happy to care for your pets anytime other than that, however, even on holidays! Personally, I use free-feeding (there's always kibble in the bowl) and positive reinforcement with my pets. They're only allowed outside under supervision, I clean the litter boxes every other day, I play with them daily, and special treats are highly encouraged. Of course, other houses have different care plans, and I am flexible. I will never enter any areas of your home you have not given me permission to access unless it is an emergency, I will clean your house before leaving if it is an overnight stay, and I will always alert you via a text message when I enter or leave your home so that you know your pet is being looked after. If you have other requests regarding your pet and home, such as getting mail, watering plants, etc, I am more than happy to oblige.
“Kristen took excellent care of my cats. She has a calm, friendly presence, and my cats responded very well to her. All three, especially the two Ragdolls, are very attached and tend to follow people around like little puppies, and they were clearly comfortable with her.”
“Maddie was wonderful! Our new dog Lady has abandonment issues and currently can’t be left home alone, and Maddie was able to stay with her while I went to a work gig. Lady’s had a pretty traumatic past so I’m protective of her and I used to work professionally with dogs so my standards for finding someone admittedly are higher than most haha. Seeing that Maddie was a dog trainer and had experience gave me a lot of peace of mind and she was fast to respond, offered a meet and greet right away, and was so great with her! I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs!”
“Bethany watched my 3 dogs while I was away for a long weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures, followed all instructions, and gave my pups so much love and attention. So thankful to have a peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter!”
“Jonathan did an excellent job with our dogs. Duke can be a little standoff-ish with new people and Jonathan handled it perfectly. We will definitely use him again.”
“Kelley was great. Truly great. All of our dogs were happy and well cared for. Kelley provided good updates and pictures throughout her engagement and left the house cleaner then when she arrived. Looking forward to working with her again.”
“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Thomas was absolutely phenomenal! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by making a couple of visits before our trip to learn our dogs' routines, medications, and schedules. That gave us tremendous peace of mind before we even left. While we were away, he took wonderful care of Todd and Louis and kept us updated with plenty of texts and photos. Seeing how happy and well cared for they were made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. He also took excellent care of our home, even remembering to take the trash to the curb after I completely forgot. It was speaks to the level of care and attention he gives. Because Louis is elderly and Todd has had some recent health issues, we're especially careful about who cares for them. Thomas exceeded every expectation. Thomas exceeded every expectation and earned our complete trust. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with Todd and Louis again, and I recommend him without reservation.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of various sizes and personalities and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, reliable, and active, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I also am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. I prioritize being reliable and making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I also am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”
“MaShon is a dream come true! My pup, Lady, is fearful of strangers and slow to warm up. MaShon has taken extra time with Lady and now they are best friends. My pup has gotten better with strangers and other dogs since MaShon has started taking care of her. She truly has a gift when it comes to animals. I never worry about anything when I leave Lady with her because I know the love and care she has for my dog. I highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals for most of my life. Grew up on a farm, so no stranger to anything! Confident enough to take care of the little and the big pets! I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep. I am happy to come to your place and take care of or stay with your pet. Will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tallassee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tallassee. 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 Tallassee 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 Tallassee 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 Tallassee 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.
