“Jamie was super easy to communicate with and kept me updated with pics during our trip which made this dog mama very happy and gave me peace of mind. My pups made a new friend and everything went smoothly, I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks!”
About: Experienced local pet sitter. I look after two high energy German Shepard dogs regularly and used to have a Yorkie so I know skills to help look after your fur baby! My current schedule availability is fairly flexible if scheduled in advance. I am available Monday- Thursday from 10am-7pm. If you urgently need help outside of these times please reach out and I will try my best to help you out! I will treat your pets with tons of love, playtime & affection as I know it can be a stressful experience to have their owner away!
“Although Jonathan (Jack) has a profile that is new to Rover, he does a FANTASTIC job in caring for animals and has tons of previous experience. Jack watched our 2 dogs in our home while we were away for several days. He was communicative, let us know how the dogs were doing and updated us with photos. We were able to take our vacation with peace of mind that our dogs were being well cared for, and it certainly showed when we returned home to get back into our normal routine. We will certainly rebook with Jack in the future!”
“Dawn was amazing! She stayed with the pups while we were on vacation and she made sure we knew they were doing well and sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
About: I have been part of the Dogs Inc (formerly Southeastern Guide Dog) organization for 8 years. I have raised 3 puppies and currently hold to hold the title of Puppy Education and Assessment Specialist. I am a canine professional and pet enthusiast In my off time I would love to spend even more time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. After hours walks and weekend care are my forte With extensive knowledge and training with a highly accredited guide and service dog school I follow a fear free and positive reinforcement style approach with all animals
“Stefania, was great. She provided us with many pictures and daily communications. Our furbabies were well cared for, she took the dogs outside several times a day, which is something they definitely love. Our house was well cared for.”
“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”
“Seth is fabulous! He took great care of our animals and showed compassion for each of them. He communicated well each day we were gone which gave us peace of mind. He also took the dogs for walks which they enjoy immensely. I recommend Seth highly!”
“This was my first experience with Vanessa, and she will now be my go-to when she’s available. Her portfolio speaks for itself, but she was simply AMAZING during my house sitting stay. I could tell my dog loved her from the meet and greet to the pictures Vanessa sent while I was away. I trust her completely with my dog and my house in her care. She kept the place clean and washed bedding on her last day. I can’t wait for her and Izzy to spend time together again!”
“Molly is simply amazing! She cared for our fur babies and home just like we do! It was so nice to know that she was there, so we didn't worry and completely enjoyed our time away. We found the best when we found Molly!!!”
“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”
“Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.”
“Samira is just amazing! My fur babies just love her, they even cried when she left. I did not have time to do my dishes before I left and when I came home they were all washed!”
“Cassidy was a thoughtful and prepared sitter. She provided an update about our pup every morning and was quick to change plan to adjust to our pup’s needs. She utilized the resources we had at the house to ensure our pup was getting enough stimulation outside of walks. Cassidy was thoughtful in ensuring both household and pet needs were met while we were away. We would love to have Cassidy back.”
“Connie was a new house and pet sitter for us. It can be a bit stressful when finding someone new; however, I didn’t have to worry one bit! Connie was easy to get to know quickly and can tell she’s passionate for all animals. She left me feeling confident that the house and pets would be in very good hands. Professional, compassionate with great communication! Thank you!!!”
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.
“Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tallevast
This was our first time contracting with Jamie and we are very satisfied! She immediately bonded with our standard poodle. She was very conscientious with feeding schedule and eye drop medication. She kept Mindi active playing ball and walking several times a day. Jamie went beyond our expectations, we look forward to the next opportunity to use her services.
Ruth was great with Milo. Ruth was very communicative and sent photos during their visit. All was well with Milo and the house when we returned (she even changed the sheets so we didn't have to deal with that when we got home from our trip). We will definitely use Ruth again.
My wife and I would highly recommend Ashlee. Sophie, our cocker spaniel, seem to be in great health and appeared to enjoy being around Ashley. She was prompt and sent photos of Sophie to us every day. Additionally, before we got home, she had washed her bed linens and they were fresh and clean in our dryer. The house was spotless when we got back as well. Once again, we would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tallevast
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tallevast on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tallevast. 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 Tallevast 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 Tallevast 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 Tallevast 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.
