“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
“Super grateful for Cortney! She took awesome care of our two doggos while we were gone, and they were super happy and healthy when we came back. Cort sent lots of pictures and texts, and she was really great!”
About: I follow special instructions with care and attentiveness. Have handled huge dogs and small dogs, big dogs are my favorite. Also I had an older dog that takes medication so I know how important that is. You have instructions, I’ll follow them. I have extra time on my hands and have taken care of family/friends pets. I’m a very athletic person and love to take walks in the closest park. Depending on the rules of the house and what owners want their pets to learn. I will do as the owners say at the end of the day.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”
About: I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember! For years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs while they're away. I understand that pets are family, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's going for a walk, sticking to their feeding routine, or giving them extra attention and affection, I treat every pet with the same care I'd want for my own! I currently serve part-time in the Air Force Reserve, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets throughout most of the month! I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs, whether that means daily walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting while you’re away. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance to ensure your furry family members receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a fenced-in yard and no pets of my own, so your furry friend can enjoy a comfortable environment with plenty of attention! I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine, whether that means crate time, sleeping in their own bed, or having their bed right next to mine. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, secure, and at home. I’ll always respect your instructions, follow your pet’s routine, and make their safety and well-being my top priority!
“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our cats again, they were happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I raised my own dog and cared for her until she was 13 years old, which gave me invaluable, hands-on experience through every stage of a dog's life. Because of our long journey together, I am especially attuned to the gentle, patient care that senior dogs require, understanding their unique needs and comfort levels. I am excited to bring that same dedication, love, and attentive care to your furry family members, whether they are energetic puppies or relaxed seniors. My daily routine is highly structured and reliable, allowing me to easily incorporate dedicated time for pet care. I am an early riser who is committed to a daily fitness routine, making me a great fit for energetic morning walks or active play sessions. Whether it's sticking to a strict feeding schedule or ensuring your pet gets their daily exercise, my organized lifestyle means your pets will always receive consistent, on-time care. Safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a trail in my neighborhood great for your fur baby! Having raised my own dog through her senior years to age 13, I am deeply familiar with pet-proofing spaces, monitoring for hazards, and handling pets with gentle care. I love dogs and have grown up with dogs all my life! Our neighborhood has great paths for walks. Please bring their food, treats and a food bowl. Also, a leash, and a harness if needed, for walks. You are welcome to bring a dog bed, blanket, or anything that would help them feel comfortable.
“This was our first time to have Tamanda over to pet/house sit for us and she did an amazing job. She took care of all the things I asked her to do and was very up front with me when she had to run errands. When we returned home, everything was just as I left it and of course the most important thing is that she took excellent care of my babies as I could tell when I got home. She put her heart into it!! Thanks again Tamanda. You Rock!!”
“Sherine and Kai were amazing as always! It gives us such peace of mind to know they are taking care of our kitties (including two elderly kitties) and house while we travel! They are so great with the cats and go above and beyond with the house! They are our go-to for housesitting! Highly recommend them!”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, ensuring a safe and clean environment, feeding, administering basic care, and closely monitoring each dog’s behavior and well-being. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. In addition to my daycare experience, I also provide housesitting services for some of my regular clients, giving their pets personalized, one-on-one care in a familiar environment. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, recognizing body language and signs of stress, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate boarding requests at any time, as long as there’s clear communication and some flexibility around my school schedule. I appreciate advance notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. For dog walking, I’m currently available after 2:00 PM each day until May 7. After that date, I’ll have open availability, as long as bookings are made ahead of time. When I’m house sitting, my goal is to keep your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just being outside. I also spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone—this includes attention, affection, and sticking to any routines they’re used to. I’m very attentive to their behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Milton did a FANTASTIC job watching our dogs! Him being here made us feel much more comfortable with us being away. I would recommend Milton to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dogs. 😊”
About: Hey there, hope your day is going well!! Your dog/pup will be in great hands as we take a walk session either it be an adventure, workout, or just a nice easy pace around the neighborhood. I can feed, bathe, grind nails, and get your dog, “dog gone tired” that way they can come home and relax with you! Rather it be from a long day at work, an out of town business trip, or even a quick vacation you will not need to worry about your loved one. I have been around pups all my life and i love them, as they are truly “Mans best friend”. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you while you are away from your fur babies and don’t hesitate to ask questions! I’m usually off from work 2 to 3 weeks at a time. So I will be home all day with the puppers and give them my full attention. The property is fenced in and the lakes and trails are up kept. Plenty of running space indoor and outdoor! Baths for the pups that love to swim in lake!
About: I genuinely feel immense joy around fur babies!! I’ve helped take care of a few dogs for friends and I have a cat I own and take care of at home. I have experience in walking, feeding and pet sitting. Very communicative providing updates to owners with pictures to keep them informed. 19 years of experience with cats and 2 years of experience with dogs. My schedule is pretty open! Worked for my previous company for 11+ years and currently working on my own business, but my calendar on the app is updated. I will communicate with owners regarding availability if messages are recieved, very responsive. I listen to the owner and what the pets needs are to ensure that I’m 100% available to the well being and care of the pet. I’m always attentive, ask any important questions and check to make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable around me.
“Emily was great, very attentive and provided lots of daily feedback and photos. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. I would certainly recommend her for your dog/house sitting needs.”
About: Hello There! I’ve been a loving dog owner since the age of 7. My parents got me a Pomeranian named Chloe and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I have two small pups of my own right now (a Shih-Poo and a Boston Terrier), so I’m used to big personalities in small bodies, lots of energy, and all the little quirks that come with small breeds. I also did a puppy training program with my Poodle-mix, which taught me a lot about building routines, positive reinforcement, and just understanding puppy behavior in general. So whether your dog is still in that wild puppy stage or they just need some extra patience, I have PLENTY of experience. I’m gentle, attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will always be safe, cared for, and paid attention to with me. I send updates, I pay attention to the little things, and I make sure your baby feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m very relaxed, and my dogs have full freedom to roam around their home — and I will make sure guest get that same comfort and freedom while still being safe and supervised. I work from home, so my babies go out every 2 hours for potty breaks, plus a good walk before or after my shift. Your dog will fall into that same routine with me - breaks, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. When time permits, I love taking them to the on-site dog park (only when the dogs are alone though) Your fur baby’s safety is my top priority. My home is clean, calm, and fully dog-friendly. I supervise all play, keep doors secured, and make sure every dog is comfortable, safe, and understood. I treat every dog with patience and respect. I’m gentle, responsible, and I pay attention special attention to their individual personalities to make sure they are comfortable. My babies have free roam in a safe environment, and any dog in my care gets that same comfort while still being watched, loved, and protected. “You can trust that your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll always be in a space designed for their safety and peace of mind.
“Thank you so much for sitting with my baby Tater and thank you for being prompt and polite. Anaya was awesome she was friendly and very loving with my baby Tater. It was amazing that once she arrived, Tater never came back upstairs as he normally sits with me until it's time for my departure. She has his undivided attention and that was a huge plus. She was extremely neat and clean when she left, there was no sign of her leaving again out of place. She was amazing a definite 5 Star rating and would definitely book again. Thanks again Ayana!! Tate says thanks as well...”

As of October 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tavener. 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 Tavener 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 Tavener 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 Tavener 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.
