“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”
“Brianna was so wonderful and caring to my cats! She sent me photos and videos of them and checked in with me all the time. She made being away from them a lot easier for me. I appreciate her staying with them and taking such good care of them. She even offered to stay an extra night with them for me last minute. I will definitely be booking with her again and I’m sure my boys will miss her being around! ❤️”
“Sara was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates of our pups, and was even willing to deal with a power outage while watching them. I will definitely be booking her to watch or walk my fur babies again.”
“Our first experience with Rover. Gabrielle S. house sitting “Harry” was wonderful, she watched our 4 1/2 year old rescue dog for the weekend, and provided excellent care. Gabrielle kept us updated, with text & pictures. Will be sure to book her again for our next time away.”

“I would highly recommend Kristina! She is knowledgeable about dogs & extremely accommodating as a sitter for our newly adopted rescue with separation anxiety. She was willing to stay with him for a few hours while we peacefully enjoyed a friends housewarming, providing us plenty of pictures & updates!”
“Leah was great with all my animals! She had a houseful and took care of my fur babies like her own. Sent updates and photos to let me know how they were doing. She also came back after I told her I’d be home because we got delayed coming home. Kept the house clean! Will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Jennifer was WONDERFUL. This is the first time we’ve left our two dogs with someone we didn’t know and we were very nervous. Jennifer completely put our mind at ease and sent us pictures/updates daily while we were gone. She stayed in our home and left it spotless. I would absolutely book Jennifer again for our pups!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and pet-sat for family and friends my whole life. After recently coming home from living abroad, I realized I could combine my love for dogs with the need for a flexible work schedule and begin working for Rover. My schedule is wide open. I do not have any commitments as of now. I am able to provide as much care as any dog needs. With my own dog, I take her on walks, feed her twice a day, bathe her every week, and spend all day with her. She's pretty spoiled, haha

By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾

Lindsey is our go-to sitter! We have 3 pit bulls and 3 cats, so it's definitely a full house! 😂 She's watched our crew multiple times, and we always feel comfortable leaving everyone in her care. She's reliable, easy to communicate with, and handles our crazy bunch like a pro! Even our trouble maker pup who hates literally everyone is so comfortable with her. She goes above and beyond. We're so glad we found her and will definitely keep booking with her!
Nolan was wonderful! Our meet-and-greet went great, and I immediately felt comfortable having him care for my pup and stay in my home. I especially appreciate that he is a nurse—it gave me an extra level of comfort knowing my baby was in responsible, caring hands. He followed all of my instructions, stayed overnight, and left my home clean and tidy. Most importantly, Love absolutely adores him! ❤️ I was so happy with Nolan that I’ve already used him again for a drop-in visit. I completely trust him with my pups and my home and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Lauren just watched our two dogs for the third time. She communicates well, sends plenty of photos, and takes great care of our boys. I really appreciate being able to leave town and not have to worry about our dogs and whether they are comfortable/looked after. We would definitely recommend using Lauren!
Michael is such a fantastic dog sitter. He responded last minute, walked my dogs like 5 times per day which is amazing because they are HIGH energy, he stayed the whole time with them since this was an in house stay (I’ve had sitters leave my dogs alone at night so this might not seem like a big deal, though to me it is lol). He was super kind, my Luna loved him which is also huge because she’s usually harder to warm up to than Cosmo. Definitely will use him in the future if he’s available!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Taylor is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $68 per night. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 2,185 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.
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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
