“Kimmie is always my go to person. This time she had some issues with one of our pets getting sick. The directions we left her were confusing so she called us. I always appreciate receiving a call from Kimmie, especially to let me know one of our pets was sick. We cleared up the medication instructions and when I got home my pet was well on the way back to health. Thank you Kimmie for being so responsive and calling me.”
“Kellie did an amazing job with our aging pup Jordyn and our goldfish Lared! She was excellent at communication and did an amazing job! We couldn’t be more happy with our choice, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking!”
About: My love for caring for dogs began at a young age while helping care for friends dogs, and has grown into meaningful hands on experience at Dogtopia, a doggy daycare, where I work in both reception and canine coaching. As a canine coach, I provide attentive care, clean up after dogs, monitor their behavior, assist with training, and help create a safe, positive environment where every pup feels comfortable and loved. I have also completed canine coaching health classes to strengthen my knowledge of canine wellness and safety. I’m passionate about continuing to grow my skills and plan to return to school to pursue a career as a vet tech. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I strive to care for every pup with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. House sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining my full-time career. I take pride in being organized, responsible, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and each client’s home. I’m able to plan my daily schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide exceptional service and peace of mind, giving pet parents confidence that their pets and home are being well cared for while they’re away. As a Frenchie mom, I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, structure, attention, and plenty of love. When caring for a client’s pets, I make it a priority to follow their established routines, feeding instructions, exercise needs, house rules, and any specific care instructions provided. I understand that every pet and home is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, companionship, and consistency while treating every home with the same respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away.
“Angelica was amazing with our 2 pups while we were out of town. She stayed in our home so they could stay in their routine, gave our boy his seizure meds on time, and didn't laugh at us over our over the top feeding routine. When we came home the house was as we left it (if not better). She communicated the entire time, sent pictures, and kept us updated on all the dog news while we were gone. We already have her booked for another trip and hope to use her again and again!”
“Jennifer was great with our two French bulldogs. I could tell by the photos Jennifer sent the girls were happy and cared for. Jennifer kept us updated which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend Jennifer and definitely will use her again.”
“Kory did an amazing job with watching our senior dog and two cats during our wedding and honeymoon abroad! He was very kind, considerate, inquisitive and communicative! Would highly recommend him for in-home petsitting!”
“We are so grateful to have found Lilly! She went above and beyond taking care of our sweet girl, Penny, and our home. Our dog is slow to warm-up to new people, and Lilly was patient and let Penny come to her. She sent regular updates and communicated well. We will definitely use Lilly again in the future when we need help! She even washed and cleaned the sheets and left a sweet note. Anyone looking for a pet and home sitter would be lucky to have her.”

“Cheles was amazing. Kora loved him from the beginning and his energy is great. Cheles even taught her how to shake which was awesome. Throughout the night he kept us updated on how Kora was doing and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Cheles and will have him sit for us again.”
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.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats most of my life. My parents always had pets and I would walk them, feed them, groom them, and love them. I also have a small Papillon dog. I love animals, there is something so calming about spending time with a fur friend and I would be happy to care for yours when you need. I will take them on long walks, take them to the vet if needed, and I also bath them if you need me to as long as they allow me safely. I live in a great neighborhood to take them on walks in Austin. I work 8 - 5 M to F in office. I can stay in your home and care for them in between coming and going to work. I would need to be able to stay in your home and care for them as my place does not allow extra dogs. I have a car so I can get to and from easiler
“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”

“Regan was amazing and very professional. Great communication while we were away. Took great care of our animals and even gave our dog a bath. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Nadia was absolutely incredible! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took amazing care of our golden retriever, Syla, treating her like she was her own and making sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved the entire weekend. When we got home, our house was spotless, and Syla was relaxed, happy, and snuggled up on the couch. It’s clear that Nadia genuinely cares about both the pets she watches and the homes she stays in. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would trust her again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Nadia to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Annabelle was just fantastic! She took exceptional care of my dog and three kitties. She is absolutely great. Extremely reliable, she kept me updated regularly and sent pics while I was away. She also took better care of my home than I ever could too. Thanks so much for everything Annabelle! You rock! To anyone looking for a great sitter, look no further. She’s the best of the best. Book with to confidence. You won’t go wrong with Annabelle!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She was so sweet with our three girls at the meet & greet, and they were in great spirits when we came home. Our American Bulldog, Boxer mix, and elderly kitty cat all loved her! She kept us updated while we were away and left our house clean and secure. So thankful for her comprehensive care over the holiday.”
“Ryan was awesome! He was willing to come out same day for me to watch my dog for an unexpected change of plans, on a holiday weekend too! He took care of my doggo and was respectful and responsive to messages the whole time. I will definitely be rebooking Ryan again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taylor
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Taylor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taylor on Rover is $52.16 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 3,097 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 with handling special pet needs in Taylor. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
