“Terri is absolutely our new favorite petsitter. She housesat our dog for 5 days. Our dog had lots of needs emotionally and physically and she was able to accommodate our pet and provide the attention, time, and medication hd needed. Terri left our home in the way we left it, and she took good care of our little dog. She is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond. I am very particular and i would absolutely recommend this sitter and we will use her again and again. Thank you Terri! ?”

“Our previous Rover sitter that stayed in our home moved. It always makes me nervous trying to find someone you can trust to stay in our home with your dogs. I always look to family first but they were not available since it was a long trip. Tatianna was wonderful. She took care of our 3 dogs in our home for an entire week while we were out of the country. I asked her to make sure she didn’t leave them over 4 hours alone and she did that. She gave them their meds, fed our fish, and got the mail in for us. She went beyond by making sure the kitchen stayed clean, washed the sheets and towels that she used and remade the bed for us before we got home. I will be using her again when I need a sitter.”

“Larissa was wonderful! She was punctual, communicative, and took the time to meet me the day before so she could get acquainted with Oliver. They got along great, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout her stay, and I came home to everything in good order. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. I’d absolutely recommend Larissa and would be happy to have her watch Oliver again!”

About: Hi there, my name is Acey! Thank you for trusting me to keep your fur-child safe, loved, and happy while you’re at work/out of town/busy with life. Pets are a part of the family, and you can’t leave your fur children with just anyone. I can definitely empathize with the stress of finding dog care as I have a 4 year old Aussiedoodle named Alfie and he is the light of my life. I truly think of him as my child and I am VERY particular about who I entrust with his care. So you can trust me when I say, I will treat your fur baby like they are my own. What that means: 1. I take Alfie for 1-2+ walks a day and 1+ hour of fetch (exercise is important in this house) (all dependent on the heat) 2. We do lots of training (basic obedience and tricks) - if you want your pup to join in on the fun, I am happy to do training with them too!! 3. Alfie has had advanced training and is super friendly. This dog has never met a stranger (excluding the vacuum- not a fan). 4. we play A LOT!! 5. We are a big cuddle puddle, I will let your pup on the couch/sleep in the bed if he/she is allowed/wants to! or I have a dog bed in my room and another in my living room. 6. PICTURES! I take pictures of Alfie constantly, so you will get GREAT pictures of your pup. 7. I will check in with you several times through the day (unless you would prefer less communication) to let you know how your pup is doing! 8. Safety is my #1 priority. One thing you should know - I will absolutely fall in love with your dog, so repeat clients preferred!! Services Provided: Dog Training (Basic Obedience/tricks), Dog Walking, Basic Grooming, Daily Visits, Potty Breaks, Exercise, Dog Park Trips, Overnights, Extended Overnights & Around the Clock Care. On the weekends I have a very laid back schedule. I take alfie out every hour, sometimes more, I do a short walk in the morning, one at lunch, and a long walk or play before dinner. Alfie uses the bells to let me know what he needs so if he wants to go for an extra walk then we usually do. I have one dog, Alfie. He is a mini aussiedoodle and he is great with other dogs, cats, babies, etc. He is really the biggest lover. My mom (whom I currently live with) has two aussies that are a little anxious and keep to each other. But they too also get along great with other animals. I have one cat, Greta who mostly just sleeps and keeps to herself.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up with dogs, cats, and even small animals gave me a strong foundation in compassionate and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through while others travel, where I stayed in people’s homes and looked after their animals like they were my own. I’ve also spent time fostering animals, helping them adjust to new environments and providing them with love and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just companionship, I’m experienced and comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to shy rescues Pets are naturally part of my daily life! I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals in the past, so caring for pets is already built into my routine. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or giving love and attention, I make time each day to ensure animals feel safe and happy. I'm home often, which allows me to give pets the consistent care and companionship they deserve throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a calm, welcoming environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore or relax. We also have a peaceful pond area that many pets enjoy watching. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine consistent, give them comfort, and respect their space like it’s my own.

About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for around 10 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was very young. Having always lived with dogs, I’m deeply familiar with their routines, personalities, and needs at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in Army flight school, which means I’m away during the day but have dedicated time in the mornings and evenings to spend with your dog. I’m able to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and attention before and after my training day. If needed, I may also be able to step away during lunch for a quick walk or check-in. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I don’t currently own any dogs, so your pet will get my full attention, and I carefully follow your instructions to keep routines consistent. While my home doesn’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is done on leash, so walks are always supervised and safe. I’m comfortable using a crate if needed and can easily crate your dog according to your preferences. I focus on creating a calm, secure environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.

About: I have had the blessing of caring for animals my entire life. I currently have 3 cats (Larry, Curly, and Moe). Having grown up in a pet friendly household, spending plenty of time on the family farm, and working as an apprentice groomer, I have a wide variety of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes. (To name a few: Cats, dogs, domestic and wild birds, chickens, ponies, goats, calves, and reptiles.) I have experience caring for pets of all ages/stages as well, such as bottle-feeding kittens, or administering medication and subcutaneous fluids to elderly or special needs pets. I would be more than happy to care for your pets so that you can feel at ease while you are away from your furry family member(s). As a stay-at-home mom of one, I have a very flexible schedule that I build around the needs of my clients and their pets’ needs. In-home care for my clients and their pets focuses on maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your pet(s) while providing care services according to their needs. Whether this be ensuring your pet is fed and has plenty of water (or treats if allowed), to keeping them entertained with play and belly pets. As a guest in your home, I take extra care to respect boundaries and maintain cleanliness during my visits. My dog walking services are handled with awareness and attention to our surroundings to avoid potential risks such as vehicles or other aggressive dogs. Due to our climate, during warmer seasons, I pay particular attention to ensure your pup does not become overheated. Additionally, I supply my own waste bags to dispose of waste properly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Taylor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Taylor on Rover is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $50 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 68 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taylor. 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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Taylor 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
