About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! I'm looking for part-time work as I want to go back to school this fall. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.
About: I am a military veteran. I have had dogs pretty much my entire life. I have been taking care of them as long as I can remember. When I was about 5years old I started with caring for my dog girl by feeding her. When I got older I started taking her on walks, playing games with her, along with feeding her. When I became an adult I decided to get my beloved baby boy. He is a border collie husky mix, and is very energetic. I have had him for 7years now. I have personally trained him and I am still training him to this day. I also, ended up getting recently 2 other dogs. A female puppy named Iceberg and a male German Shepherd named Luke. If you are looking for someone to walk your dog. I’m your girl. I love walking my own dog. I love meeting other dogs as well. I know how important it is for a dog to go on their walks. I know how important it is for dogs to get their energy out and have that stimulation the outdoors creates for them. I also, will do drop ins. I believe it is very important when dropping in to visit a dog for them to feel safe and comfortable. I want them to have the best time they can when they are with me. I am currently working another job. My availability for walking includes the following: - My hours that work best for me is Monday through Friday 9am through 3pm. Saturday and Sunday 9am to 6pm - Most summer months - Most holidays - Most weekends My availability for drop in includes the following: - The times that work best for me are between 9am to 3pm and 9pm to 10pm Monday through Friday if I am available. 9am-10pm Saturday and Sunday - Most summer months - Most holidays - Some weekends drop off Friday or Saturday evening. Pick up Saturday or Sunday during the day or evening. I am a gentle and caring sitting. I have an outdoor kennel for the fur babies to play in and a decent size house for them to play as well. I believe when training treats are the best way for motivation. Redirection is a great way for a pup to stop chewing. Sometimes I use distraction to get them to stop when dealing with a behavior that is unwanted.
“Alexis was a great sitter for us! She provided regular updates and photos, and took great care of our two pups. Our younger dog had an accident (on fabric) and she dealt with it just like I would. Thank you so much, Alexis! Piper & Kane love you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tarawa Terrace
Kierstynn was great! We reached out with short notice to watch our 3 dogs and cat, and she quickly arranged a meet and greet. We have a senior dog, as well as a young, energetic dane, and she handled both of them perfectly. Everyone seemed happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was like nobody stayed there. Could not ask for more!
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 $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 306 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.
