“We have used Candace several times now for house sitting. She is great with communication and truly takes care of your home and pet as if they were hers. I always feel relieved knowing I can go on vacation without worrying about our pup knowing she’s in great hands with Candace! Thanks again!”
“Aubrey was great! She house sat and pet sat for us for 8 days. Our dog took to her right away! We also have a senior bunny who really only likes me, and she behaved as expected. She sent us pictures of the pets everyday, and was really respectful of the house. I would definitely hire Aubrey again! Thank you, Aubrey!”
“Jayd and Ecko are seriously amazing! They updated me many times through out the days they watched my boy Jaxsun. He was a bit unsure with them at first but warmed up and was well taken care of. I highly recommend these two. I can’t thank them enough for tending to my pup! 10/10 😊”
“Kerry, simply put, was absolutely amazing!! Communication (A+), Care for our house (A+), Care for our dog (A++++). Our dog is a little standoffish at times and by the end of the first day, she was cuddling on him and giving him kisses. He left a heart felt note upon leaving our house, which I must say, seemed like he wasn't even here given how clean it was. Thank you so much, Kerry! Already looking forward to you watching Aurora again.”
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
“All of our pets and house were so well taken care of while we were on vacation. I really appreciated Ashley’s updates while we were gone as well. I will definitely be rebooking her when we need a pet or house sitter!”
“Gabby and Tyger were so good to my fur babies while I was gone. Everything was in order when I arrived home and my girls were super excited. Gabby texted me updates throughout the weekend to keep me in the loop since it was her first time sitting for me. Which honestly, put me at ease. Thank you ladies❤️”

“Molly was so great!! She was patient and kind with my little buddies, and sent picture updates that were so sweet!! She was detail oriented, and went above and beyond in caring for my fur buddies. Thanks again Molly, hope to see you again soon!!”
“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”
About: I grew up with two rescue dogs who I took care of. They were brother and sister. I always loved taking care of them. The brother was a bit on the slow side but he was really friendly. His sister lived to 18, and as needy as she was I loved taking care of her. It required a gentle hand that I was happy to provide. I love animals in general, and would be glad to help take care of anyone’s pets. I work part-time as a mover. Usually 2-3 times a week for 2-4 hours. The only other commitments I have during the week is church on Sunday mornings. I am available most days and nights. Since I am a college student I do not have any pets right now, so this job gives me the opportunity to spend some time with furry friends who make me very happy.
“She was awesome with our two dogs! This was our first trip where we used this service and we were nervous about how our dogs would do and trusting someone in our home. Clasie made sure to meet the dogs and us beforehand, which went great and then while watching the dogs she sent us updates and pictures. This made our experience with Rover great and I would highly recommend Clasie to watch your animals! Thank you again!”
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”
“My doggie is a happy doggie! She welcomed him and loved him from the first moment she saw him! Even when saying goodbye at the door. She took pictures and sent them to me which was so sweet! My doggie was in good expert loving hands. No worries!”
“Jess was so wonderful taking care of kitties! Was such peace of mind. Kitties were well-cared for, house looked better than when we left. Hoping she’ll be available next time we’re out of town. Thanks so much, Jess!”
About: Hi, I’m Ainsley! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with paws—giving me firsthand experience raising energetic puppies, keeping up with active adult dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care to sweet senior dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for family members, treating their fur babies exactly like my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy brisk walk, a slow and sniff-filled stroll, or just some extra patience and TLC, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite walking buddy! I have a fairly open schedule while school is out for the summer! I’m available most mornings for check-ins and walks, and most evenings for over night care. I’m willing to adapt to any space! I have plenty of experience with all types of animals, and am confident that I can care for yours.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taylor
I was really nervous to leave my cat with someone that wasn’t a friend that I know. Candace sent me multiple pics and updates through out the week and was super quick to answer any messages and followed my packets of information. She also left my place clean! Took out trash and folded blankets and everything, 20/10 super great and eased my anxiety during my trip!!!
We could not have dreamed up anybody better to look after our dog than Jayd and Ecko. They sent several photos every day, checked in regularly, and even got our pup to take her meds! It is hard for our dog to trust people and she loves them! We are SO grateful to have found them and will definitely be rebooking. Our dog, home, and property are safe in their hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Taylor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taylor on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 809 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.

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.
