I travel for work and always use Chloe take care of Rocco. He can be a challenge because he’s a big puppy that does not realize his strength sometime, but he loves her and she handles him well.

About: Hi! I am open to new clients, please message me with drop in requests, house sitting or just a walk! I’m 23 and I have hands-on experience with dog boarding, grooming, daycare, and giving medication, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of needs. I used to work at Pooches and Purrs Daycare, Grooming, and Boarding, where I learned how to handle everything from super energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I can do more than just basic walks or pet sitting. I can also help with puppy training and socialization, and I’m good with senior dogs who might need mobility support or a gentler approach. I’ve given medication to dogs with health needs and always make sure they stay on their schedule while still feeling safe and comfortable. Since I also have a grooming background, I can help with things like brushing, nail trims, or even baths during visits if needed. No matter the dog’s age or energy level, I treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of attention and care. 🐾 I am available anytime! I do not have a full time job right now so I can easily stop by during anytime of the day or night. On weekends, I’m completely flexible and have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pups! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to stick as close as possible to their normal routine and follow whatever instructions the owner leaves. Whether it’s giving medication, playing with them, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel cared for.

Kaylie was awesome with Asher and Sadie. She had patiences with them as it was storming and they were hesitant to go out. But she took them out a few times after the rain let up a little and they finally did their business. She was on time and provided details and asked lots of questions.

About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

About: Along with caring for my own dog, I have previously done odd jobs of caring for other people’s pets. This has mostly consisted of daily check-ins, taking the dog for a walk as well as feeding and playing with them. I do not have any special qualifications besides loving a good long walk and loving to play with any and every dog I meet! I have just graduated as a student athlete from OU and am working nearby. With a very flexible schedule, I look forward to long walks and furry friends! I currently live in a house in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood. My yard is fenced in and big enough to provide plenty of space for an active dog!

Natalie did a superb job at the last minute to care for our dog. She spoke to him, played with him, walked and cared for him. Natalie did this with little to no instructions from a remote exchange of information. She was fantastic and a natural dog sitter and care provider.

The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!

About: Growing up I was always surrounded by dogs and loved taking care of others when asked. When I used to live in New York I used to help my old boss with walking and taking care of her dogs at home. Aside from that I used to volunteer at a doggy day care and it was beautiful to do it for free because all those loving dogs of all shapes and sizes was the best experience. Now I am willing to take care of other dogs for owners that need to go for a business trip or need to go out for a few hours I would love to come and help because our furry babies deserve love and affection. I will send you photo updates on your pet or even videos of your pet and update you in what they have done throughout the day or those specific hours needed. On weekends I would love to take care of other dogs as I already have my own that love to be outdoors and go for walks in the beach. Loving to have an adventure with your dog just a walk in the park or taking care of them in your own home. I have a fenced backyard that my two dogs love to run around in is very tall and sturdy so any other fur babies can come and play. When my service is needed I'll come with my own hand sanitizer and gloves to take care of your fur babies area of food and water as well as when they need to go potty or number 2. To be mindful of others I will carry my mask and be wary of others when not 6 feet apart when going out for a walk. I'll make sure your fur baby wears their leashes correctly with their harness as I recommend harnesses for their bodies and walk in a safe distance when seeing other dogs in our walks.

Our sitter canceled last minute and Megan was quick to reply and came out to meet our dog the same night. She exceeded our expectations and made us feel comfortable leaving town without our dog. She also sent lots of pictures. Can't thank you enough!

About: Hello, my name is Emily! I have 6 years of experience taking care of pets, and would love to help you with your fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home and available 7 days a week unless my schedule states otherwise. We have a female dog, Luna, she is very sweet and good with cats as well as dogs. My family loves all animals and will make sure your pet(s) are not only taken care of but also loved on while you are away. I will only dog sit potty trained pets and I prefer not to use crates if possible. We do have a toddler, she understands boundaries with pets, but if your dog or cat is afraid of or aggressive towards small children we won’t be a good fit. Please feel free to message me with any questions! Thank you ♥️🐈🐕‍🦺 I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home full time unless otherwise stated on my personal Rover schedule which can be found on my profile :) I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run around in, any holes have been blocked by center blocks to prevent anyone wanting to escape. We also have baby gates on hand to make safe spaces for your pet in my home!

Rover will be perfect for me as a college student. I can walk anytime early or late! I have a large back yard to run and play but no fence.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

Rachel did a phenomenal job at watching my two Shepherd mix dogs. I was able to be completely disconnected from cell signal without worry for my boys. She was very communicative and even agreed to a meet and greet and booking last minute for me! If you’re unsure if Rover is for you, don’t be and request Rachel immediately!◡̈

Hayley watched my two dogs for a full week and did an amazing job. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Both of my dogs were clearly well cared for and happy when I got home. I really appreciate her kindness and responsibility, and I would absolutely trust her to watch them again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Tarawa Terrace

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 626 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tarawa Terrace. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tarawa Terrace stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Tarawa Terrace 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Tarawa Terrace with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tarawa Terrace. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
