“Carla watched our three dogs while we traveled for our wedding. She is truly the best! I felt completely comfortable the whole time and knew they were in good hands. She really knows dogs. Not to mention she is a lovely person to talk to. If you are looking for a sitter and have any hesitation definitely consider Carla you won’t be disappointed!!”

About: I've had my own pets for 15 years, but I've always grown up with animals. Mostly all cats my whole life, but last year I adopted a puppy. I love seeing the difference between the two species. I love having pets and taking care of them. I'm very open right now and not working a full time job. I have lots of time for all the fur babies. It's very exciting. And my rates are low for a reason. I never want money to be the reason to not do something. I am very respectful of my clients space and possessions. I will always respect any requests given. I will communicate any problems that should occur.
“NeTia was a fantastic pet/house sitter! She came to my home before her job began to allow the dogs to familiarize themselves with her. Both of my dogs, even my very scared/shy dog, immediately took to NeTia. I believe they noticed her calm presence and felt at ease. I got pictures and consistent feedback from NeTia! I never worried about how the animals were doing! She did a great job with the pets, communication, and keeping the house clean. She even washed, dried, and folded the towels she used! :)”
“Kendra did a great job, even though there was a winter storm she still went thru all the trouble to make sure my dogs were taken care of, she’s very attentive, kind to our dogs and great communication with us, throughout the stay.”
“Brooke was absolutely fantastic with our older dog, Maya, while we were out of the country. She really put our minds at ease with her care and attention! Maya can be a little stubborn about going outside since her eyesight isn’t what it used to be, but Brooke was so patient and gentle with her. It didn’t take long before Maya had made a new best friend! We loved receiving Brooke’s detailed updates and photos. It was so comforting to see how well Maya was doing. On top of that, she left the house spotless, even vacuuming and washing the sheets! Maya truly enjoyed her company, and we will definitely be booking with Brooke again. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, this has ranged from small dogs to large dogs! I currently have 3 dogs myself, and they would love a temporary play mate! I have been working home for 10 years, and would love to watch over your sweet babies during my day! I have three minature dauchsunds at home who are happy to play! I have a large backyard that will allow you dog as much playtime and activity as they desire. I can also crate if needed with separate rooms to keep the dogs feeling safe if overwhelmed.
“Flor was the sweetest thing and is just so great with dogs. I have a big one too and she handled it so well. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. We both enjoyed her company.”
“Carly was amazing! We will definitely be using her again! She gave us regular updates each day on how our pups were doing. It was so nice knowing our pups were being well taken care of while we were gone!”
About: Caring for pets is incredibly rewarding. Their happiness makes every effort worth it, and the love they give in return is truly special. I have cared for multiple pets including senior pets! I am currently a full-time student at Texas A&M but I will make time for you and your pet! Just let me know when I’m needed!! My weekends are usually free as well! I am very responsible and have great time management skills!! I know every pet is different, so every pet requires different needs. I make it my priority to make sure I will be able to provide those needs so your furry friends stay comfortable! I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs and cats! I am available to crate your dog if needed.
“Ryder was so amazing with my baby boys! He was able to deal with my dogs hyperness and my other dogs excessive cuddle times lol which can be a lot at times but they overall they had a great time. I appreciate him being able to do a last minute booking as well! Will be booking again soon”

FAQs for House Sitting - Talty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Talty on Rover is $52.43 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 2,158 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Talty. 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 Talty 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 Talty 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 Talty 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
