“Angelica did a fantastic job watching our 3 dogs for us and took good care of our home while she stayed here! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of our puppies while we were gone for a week. She sent pictures and took absolutely great care of our house. I’m always so anxious leaving my girls behind and I felt great knowing they were in good hands!”
About: I’ve been caring for my friend's and families' dogs for over 15 years. They trust me to care for their dogs like I would my own and know that their dog will be given the best care possible. I work full time but I work from home so your dog would not be left alone for long periods of time. I would only be away from home for small periods of time for errands if anything. I have a house with a large fenced yard. While my dog Gunnar is very dog friendly, I do require a meet and greet so you can get to know me better and give our dogs a chance to get to know each other. We want your dog's stay to be as fun for them, and stress free for you, as possible.
“Jo is excellent. My dogs aren’t socialized, they don’t take well to strangers, from the moment I opened the door for the meet and greet, they were both all over Jo. After the first sniff Ulfr brought Jo his toy and Ylgr wanted pets, there was no barking but a lot of happy noises. Jo made me feel very comfortable and at ease. This was the first time that I needed to find a sitter and Jo fulfilled all my I will be rebooking with Jo as my need arises.”
“Debbie has been amazing. We have used her many times and she always keeps me updated, sends photos so I know all is good and makes me feel so comfortable leaving our pup with her.”

About: Responsibility, patience, and affection. It's about ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of animals. My dogs and I are happy to care for them. D The same routine as my dogs, going out for a walk in the morning, arriving home to eat, rest, give them treats, and in the afternoon another outing to the park I take care of them as if they were my own with the same love, care and affection that I have for my dogs.

“Katelyn was very communicative and responsive during our sitting. We had a fluke issue with one of our house alarms while we were gone, and Katelyn was very patient with helping us figure out the problem and find a solution. She took great care of our pets and sent many photos. We would recommend her!”
“Such a smooth experience! Nathan was so accommodating from the meet and greet, to making another trip just before booking to get all the details, and he provided excellent communication! We were able to get away and enjoy leaving our 3 fur babies (2 cats and a dog) in Nathan’s care six days. He loves his job and takes it very seriously will definitely be using Nathan’s services again! Thank you Nathan, we appreciate you and are so thankful you made everything go so smoothly!”
About: My family loves Boxers so I’ve been around big dogs my entire life! Growing up, I’ve had the opportunity to watch my neighbors’ dogs on numerous occasions, and I’ve even successfully potty-trained two puppies! I’m excited to be on this platform and offer my services to others. I work full time; however, my schedule is Monday — Wednesday and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM so I’ll be off Thursday, Friday and Sunday! I can also visit evenings on the days that I work. I’m an avid photographer, so you can expect some cute photos of your pet while I’m taking care of them! I’m also very respectful of other people’s pets, especially since I understand how much people can love their pets. Rest assured, I’ll follow any guidelines you provide!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around them. I understand how hard it can be to find someone who will care for your dog like you do, which is why I’m passionate about offering a loving and safe home-away-from-home for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs over the years and know plenty of helpful tips and tricks to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. Your dog will be treated like family—loved unconditionally and kept safe at all times. A typical weekday with me includes a morning feeding, a walk, playtime in the afternoon, and another walk and feeding later in the day. I work full-time, but someone is always home to keep your pets company and make sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. My mother and father, who live with me and also love dogs, often help out—so your pup will get lots of attention and affection. Triple the love! I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work full time but someone is always home between my mother father and I to love on your furry friend at all times. No time left alone. I will always follow the let’s regular routine. It is import to me to have a low stress transition. I prefer having an initial meeting with parents and pets then a walk through to see their routine so that I can replicate it and cause as little disruption as possible.
“Tanzi watched both of our dogs, and our 2 rabbits over the New Year’s holiday. Tanzi had excellent communication, left our home in great condition and even ran a load of laundry for us. We are grateful we found such an awesome pet sitter to look after our little homestead while we are gone.”
“Ryan was great- I came back to 3 happy and healthy pets and he even tidied the house which I felt was above and beyond! Ryan was responsive throughout the booking and very reliable. I will definitely book with Ryan again. Thank you!”
“Nhu and Kevin took great care of our 6 yr old boxer that has a heart condition. They administered medication as directed, fed him appropriately (he has a pretty particular diet), walked him regularly, and most importantly let him snuggle all he needed! He usually gets separation anxiety when we leave, and loses weight as a result…we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with Nhu and Kevin because he looks healthy! We got pictures or video every day, which helped calm our nerves about his health and anxiety. They also took great care of the house. They made sure our pup stayed out of the kids rooms, helped with trash days, and left the house cleaner than when we left! (Thank you!) I am looking forward to rebooking them - and I’m sure our dog is , too!”
About: I've had dogs by my side for 20 plus years. I've cared for scared rescues, seniors, puppies, and high energy fosters. I've potty trained dogs and got my 2 doing a series of tricks. I understand the gentle confidence of the alpha helps dogs trust. My two are good with other dogs and have both been boarded with others and had others in our care. I've got a doggie door and fenced yard with squirrels for entertainment. I've got a nice 3 mile nature loop for walks. Dogs...I love them. I'd be glad to put your mind at ease and have yours hang with my pack. I work from home and have ultimate flexibility at the moment so I can walk dogs on your schedule and adapt to your needs. I don't leave the home for more than a couple hours for errands when I'm sitting. If your needs require something different, I am able to be flexible. We have a doggie door here and an ample fenced yard. I also have 2 other small dogs to keep yours company and play along with. I sometime book two families at once. If one of the dog families is a repeat client, and I have confidence the mix will work, your dog may get an extra playmate or two. If you are uncomfortable with that possibility, just let me know so I don't double book. Because I care for many dogs, please be sure your pups are up to date on their flea treatments to ensure we keep the environment comfortable for all who pass through.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. I do have a family pet named Munchie back home. Helped volunteer at the animal shelter during my time when I lived OKC. Do not have pets of my own (hopefully soon it will change) but I want to share my love for pets for those who are busy! I work at home Monday and Fridays, office from Wednesday through Thursday. I am free most of the time, especially on weekends. I go in the office latest at 9:00 and out around 4-5 PM. So I can extremely flexible on what you need! I do live in a single bedroom apartment with a front yard with a small gated fenced. I keep my place clean and full of snacks and area for your pet too be as comfortable as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taylor
Our normal Dog Sitter was unavailable so we reached out to Lillian she was a blessing! She loves dogs took very good care of our boys. We have three older dogs. One of them is very grumpy and she went beyond and above, taking care of them and making sure their needs were taken care of 10 out of 10 would book her again! she’s send us a lot of pictures of the boys being happy and looking good! the boys were more than happy and very well taken care of! If you’re looking to book somebody to watch your house and your fur babies I would book her again!!!
We’ve had the pleasure of of having Ash watch our pups now at our house and have been so happy with our experience! They’re nothing short of spoiled when Ash is here and we love getting all of the pictures and updates while we’re away. She takes great care of our house as well, which is such a relief when we are away! We were really reluctant to use Rover because of all the horror stories, but I’m really glad we gave it a try and found such a great fit.
Diana was quick to respond and accept our request. She answered texts right away which gave me peace of mind, so I could relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent photos almost every day showing my clingy and needy dogs were in fact traitors and seemed to be getting along just fine without us. 😂 My dogs are very used to us being home and getting lots of attention. Boarding was not an option which makes it hard to leave for any length of time. The dogs took to Diana right away. They were given lots of attention and affection. It was nice not having to worry about them while we were gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Taylor is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $90 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 October 2026, there are 3,057 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Taylor. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
