“We were super anxious about leaving our dog and home but Liz made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt comfortable with here the moment she met us and Gizmo!

“Chloe did a great job watching my dog. He was fine at first but later got a little defensive and uneasy. She handled it really well, figured out how to work with him, and kept him comfortable. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates and check-ins they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and reliable sitter”

About: I volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter and have fostered many pets through NC Seaside Animal Rescue. My dream is to turn my passion for pet sitting into a full time career because nothing brings me more joy than caring for animals. As a local elementary school educator, I’m a trusted and responsible caregiver. When I’m not caring for pets or teaching, you’ll often find me exploring local parks or volunteering at the shelter. I will send regulate pictures and text updates and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! My schedule will be fully open for the next few months. All of my services will be avaliable morning, afternoon and night time. (Depending on what is needed)!

I follow your instructions carefully—feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special needs—while giving lots of love, attention, and playtime. I also keep your home safe and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for. If boarding your pet at my home, I create a calm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet’s personality. Since I don’t have pets of my own, your pet will have all the attention and space they need. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, and I keep a close eye on their health and wellbeing throughout their stay. Whether in your home or mine, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
“I was so impressed the first time I hired Jacob to care for my dogs that I invited him back to dog sit for an entire week. It was a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my pups. Jacob was responsive to text messages. He sent photos every day and kept me apprised on how my "boys" were doing. I returned home to happy pups who were well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Jacob for your pet sitting needs. You won't be disappointed because he doesn't disappoint!”
“Lovely dog sitter! I just adopted a puppy (my first dog and pet) and she was there immediately to help. As I am sure many people around here are active duty, and she’s been very helpful and flexible checking in on my puppy throughout the day. She’s even helped out teach my puppy basic commands, would highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tarawa Terrace is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarawa Terrace
She was sooo amazing with my dogs. I was little worried to leave them with a sitter since I had previously had a bad experience with one. But she eased all my worries and was so patient and loving towards my dogs!! She communicated everything and also took very good care of my home! I will 100% be booking with her again ❤️
I can’t speak highly enough on how wonderful Payton is! She took such great care of our baby girl. She communicated the entire time, gave constant updates and lots of pics! I could see how comfortable, safe and loved our dog was. She is an amazing care giver and would definitely use her again!
Fabulous sitter for my four fur babies. She was keenly in tune with their stress levels, provided ample walks, and handled an unexpected encounter with two aggressive dogs with professionalism. She kept calm, de-escalated the incident, assessed all dogs for injuries (luckily, no one was injured), and provided care and comfort to help my two dogs de-stress. I highly recommend Andie to provide care to your fur babies. I will be using her services often.
I can’t say enough great things about Natasha and the care she provided for Ponyo and Tarot while I was away. She stayed in my home and treated it—and my pets—with the utmost respect and love. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving everything in their hands. Ponyo and Tarot were clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I returned. Natasha followed all care instructions perfectly and took extra time to make sure both girls got plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. The regular updates and photos were such a thoughtful touch and made being away so much easier. On top of taking excellent care of my pets, she left my home spotless!! honestly, it may have been cleaner than when I left! It’s clear she takes a lot of pride in her work and genuinely cares about the animals (and homes) they look after. Highly, highly recommend—Ponyo, Tarot, and I are so lucky to have found Natasha and on such short notice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tarawa Terrace
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tarawa Terrace on Rover is $44.71 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 303 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarawa Terrace. 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 Tarawa Terrace 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 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!
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.
