“Carla took amazing care of our puppies while we were away! She matched her schedule to their routine to help minimize their anxiety and was super communicative the whole time. She was amazing! 🤩”
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
About: Growing up we always had animals. I currently have a Great Dane. Very active with him. Lots of walks and cuddles. He’s very friendly, if pets stayed in the home with us. I do work full time but I have a flexible schedule. Mondays and Fridays I have the least flexibility I am still able to do 2 drop in visits on those days. Early morning and after 8pm. Please get with me on specific times if needed thank you! I have a Great Dane who is very friendly and will keep your dog company all day. I’m pretty flexible and can make sure to tend to your dogs normal schedule
“Aidan did a wonderful job watching my two pups. He made it known he was new to the app, and his love for animals. He scheduled time to check in with me before hand and kept me updated during the visits. He went above and beyond, even helping my neighbor fix my our fence, so the dogs could go outside. He also was able to extend time on short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Will absolutely use Aidan again, and couldn’t highly recommend him!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I had a cocker spaniel for 12 years until her passing. I have dog sat and boarded small dogs for friends for many years. I love dogs but not sure if I’m ready to get my own again. Losing a pet is hard but working for Rover will allow me the companionship of animals while also determining if I’m ready to own another pet. I work full-time close to downtown Dallas but have time to check in on your pets midday and after work. I am also available on the weekends. I am available to board small and medium size dogs in my home in Seagoville. I have a fenced back yard. You will need to provide your own crates. I currently do not have any pets that live in my home. For boarded pets, I will walk them in my neighborhood. I am able to follow any special instructions needed for your pet.
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
About: I’ve taken care of two senior cats for two years now. I have also taken care of my friends and family pets while they were out and about. I can provide the basic needs for your pets and lots of love! I work 4 days out of the week, so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs and wants in any situation. When I did care for my two senior cats I would make sure their basic needs are met of course, but because they were so much older I was more attentive to them since they were more fragile and would immediately handle any limp I saw or cough or sneeze. I will treat your pets as if they are my own.
“Dylan was literally so great when he house sat for us!! All of his updates were so helpful! This was our first time using Rover and Dylan truly made it a great experience! We love him and are so glad that we found Dylan!”

“Robin helped us with our 10 month old puppy today and we were very satisfied. She even helped us with training! Grace was in good spirits after she left and very content. Thank you!”
About: I've had dogs and cats for 16 years and I'm currently pet free at the moment. I've found myself with a lot of free time lately and I'd like to meet your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I'm available most days except for evening hours. I'm taking time off work at the moment and would like to offer my time to people that might need a little extra help caring for their furry family members. Please provide detailed instructions so I am able to give your pet the care that they deserve. I will treat them like my own, and that means lots of pets and positive reinforcement!
About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. My current schedule is from 7am-3pm; with [most] Sundays and Mondays off. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.
About: Hello, I am so excited to have a new friend in your pet!!! My name is April and I love cats and dogs but I don't have any of my own. I love dog sitting and walking them too. I'm working from home at the moment and getting out to walk a dog is just what I need to keep me sane. I have a few families that I sit for on the regular and the dogs have become like friends. My schedule is pretty flexible so if you have any questions let me know. I have my own vehicle and do not work my regular jobs on the weekdays so this works out perfect for me. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies and cats.

I have a big fenced backyard and also a space to crate if needed. I can take care of it at your home of my home , however its more comfortable
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the care I bring to every dog I meet. Growing up, I spent years volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I learned how to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. More recently, I cared for my own senior dog, Oatmeal, through his cancer journey, which taught me even more about patience, compassion, and the importance of making every dog feel safe and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive personalized attention and care while you're away. As mentioned above, I have personal experience with dogs with medical needs. This includes dogs with amputated limbs or dogs that have a strict schedule for medicine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m available to watch dogs for weekends or extended weekends! We have no pets in the home and are able to watch multiple dogs at a time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your dogs to run! With easy access to walking trails, I am happy to take your dogs for walks during the day to try to stick to their normal routine. I also have dog beds, toys, and food and water bowls available to use.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Talty is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $82 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
