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: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifetime of genuine, hands-on experience. I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs since I was five years old, giving me an instinctive understanding of their needs, personalities, and comfort cues. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience administering medications safely and confidently, whether it’s pills, drops, or special routines. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re understood, cared for, and treated like family. I am retired military with 4 of my own cats. I am available Monday through Friday, after 6pm and Saturday-Sunday 8am to 4pm. Adding more animals to my daily routine brings joy to my day. I can care for you fur babies in your home by helping them keep to their normal daily routine. I can offer plenty of attention, love, pets, cuddles and whatever else to treat them like the family they are

About: I personally have a cat and dog of my own and I’ve taken care of them, I am very precise when it comes to my babies. I will treat your fur babies just like they were my own. I believe every pet is unique in their own way, that what makes them adorable. Pet care fit into my daily or even weekly routine by getting me out there around all kinds of fur babies. I currently go to school at ECU so it would be a great stress reliever just to play or walk with pets. I would be available for weekends and on weekdays, preferably Monday after 2 and Fridays free all day unless booked otherwise. I would care for them in my home by making sure they feel safe and comfortable to roam around without any hesitation. In clients homes I would make sure the client feels secured that their pets are in the right hands sending photo updates while I am there if needed.

About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was able to drive. From people I am really close to to people who I have just met, their animals are my first priority and you will not be disappointed on how they are taken care of and spoiled while you are gone! I am currently working full-time, but I have time to come by before and after work to play, feed, and care for your pet. I also have weekends off where I will have plenty of time to spoiler and make your pet feel loved :) I treat your home like it is my own, there is no funny business when it comes to messing with someone else’s home. I am there to care for you baby/babies and that is my priority. They will be in great hands while you are away!

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and breeds since I was little. I have experience in training dogs with basic commands. When friends and family go out of town I am the one they rely on to care for their pets. I work 2 days a week and I am home the rest of the days. I have friends that let the pups out while I’m at work and cameras to watch them. I have a fenced in backyard and three fur babies. My golden retrievers love to play with others and my Jack Russell likes to be by herself and sleep all day. I have extra crates if the need arises.

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 628 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.
