“Jaci is awesome! She took great care of our dog, Tasha and was extremely accommodating with some schedule changes that came up. Tasha loved being with her! We will definitely have Jaci help us again in the future!”
“I am very pleased with Chelsea. She has a calm and competent demeanor, which is evident from the first time I met her. She specializes in older dogs and our dog will be 13 years old next month. Our dog is very nervous and does not take to new people easily, but she clearly felt comfortable with Chelsea on day one. It’s so nice to walk into our home after we’ve been gone and have the place look as cleaned up as we left it. I can highly recommend Chelsea.”
“Ashley was wonderful! She took great care of both my dog and cat over the weekend, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I knew they were happy and comfortable. Both of the pets clearly adored her. Highly recommend!”
“Our doodle just had TPLO surgery and is restricted in activity. Sweet Brianna stayed right beside her while she rested in her bed. We will definitely call Brianna to house sit again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have had three black labs as my family's pets. Caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and excited to give your dog plenty of love, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I have class at noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I’m available around my classes and can work with your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep a clean and safe environment, and give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away.
About: I've been a dog owner for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I currently have two Miniature Dachshunds, so I'm experienced with dogs of different personalities, routines, and care needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications when needed, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I know that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care and attention they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they're part of my own family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I am a graduate student at Ole Miss. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as walks and overnight care when needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I make it a priority to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every visit. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous different types of animals, even exotic ones! I would love to watch y’all’s furry babies. Thank you all! I’m available week days and weekends due to a limited work and school schedule so I have plenty of time to cater to pets needs. My neighborhood has a fenced in dog park that pets love to run around in or if your pet likes to snuggle I’m so down to cuddle.
“I cannot recommend Sophie enough! We were in a huge pinch with a last-minute booking for our Teddy, during our two-day wedding event. From the start, she was an absolute professional—responding quickly and even making letting us know immediately if she's available. She provided frequent photo and message updates throughout the two days, which completely eased our nerves while we were busy with wedding festivities. She followed all care instructions perfectly, and in a last minute issue she never broke professionalism. Knowing Teddy was in capable hands allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying. We returned to a happy dog who clearly was well taken care of. She truly went above and beyond for a specialty booking like this. If you need someone I highly recommend Sophie!”
About: Aside from owning dogs my whole life, I have lots of dog care experience working at a boarding/daycare facility. I’ve worked with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments and can honestly say I love them all. I am currently a sophomore at Ole Miss studying elementary education. My classes are bunched together midday, so I’m available mornings, nights, and overnights if needed. I love a good walk, sweet treat, and game of fetch but I’m also always down for a calm night in! I’d love to learn all about your pup and make their experience the best possible.
About: I have always had pets growing up and currently have 3 dogs and a cat, all ranging in different sizes and personalities. I am happy to help. I am available full time during the week currently, happy to pop in during the morning or afternoons. I am available to house sit on per request. I am good with varying temperaments and can handle different levels of care. I will always keep the pet on leash for walks or ensure the fence is securely closed. I will not leave any pets outside unless specifically instructed.
“Laney is a superstar! This is the second time she has cared of our pups and just as with the previous time, they were super happy to see her. We have absolute trust in her and enjoy how she loves our pups as much as we do. She will always be our first choice, when it comes to caring to our canine family.”
About: I have been pet sitting/ dog walking for almost 7 years now, and I absolutely love it! As a huge animal person, I can confidently say that pets are my passion! I want to love your furbaby like I love my own! I would love to take care of any needs you may have. Feel free to ask any questions! I am a junior at Ole Miss. I mostly have online classes, so I am free a lot! I am also free for overnight housesitting needs! I have 2 dogs back home in Georgia and I miss them so much! They are the happiest pups ever! My roommates and I have a Golden Retriever that we adopted last year! As far as boarding and doggy daycare goes, he would love to play with your pup, but they can also be easily separated if needed! I have so much love for pets, and would love to share so much love to yours!
About: I am currently a college student away from home who constantly misses his dog. I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I have always loved taking them on walks and playing with them. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my week. I’m available most days and can usually work around your pet’s routine. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I provide care by following routines, ensuring safety, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I prioritize the pet's well-being, offer regular attention, and communicate updates to the owner.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog and cat for years, helped care for my roommate’s dog, and done drop-in visits for households with multiple dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away! I am a student at Ole Miss, so I have class M-F! I am free early mornings, afternoons, and nights! I’m only in class for about 3 hours each day, so we can communicate on what times would work best for you and your pets! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and calm, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully to keep every pet safe and stress-free. I have a 15 year old dog myself, so I know how important it is to make sure he feels comfortable, taken care of, and loved!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taylor on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 92 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 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.
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.
