“Matthew did a great job watching our boys! They both need some time to warm up to new people and can be really difficult on walks. Matthew was patient and communicative, we are so thankful, we have already rebooked!”
“This was our third time having Traylor watch our dogs, and at this point, she’s officially their favorite person. They LOVE her and it gives me so much peace of mind, knowing they’re happy and while taking care of while we’re away. Traylor is incredibly reliable and communicative. If she needs to leave the house, she always lets me know, tells me when she’ll be back, and is back when she says she will be. I never have to wonder what’s going on or worry about the dogs. We absolutely love having her stay with them and will continue booking her anytime we need a sitter. She’s the best!”
“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!!!!!”
“Jessica took care of my Cocker Spaniel in my home over the weekend. She's incredibly loving, intuitive and made sure she understood exactly how to give him his medicine. She sent frequent pictures and updates, which made my entire trip much better knowing my sweet pup was well taken care of. I look forward to having her in my home again and giving my pup loving attention! She's exactly what you hope to find when looking for a sitter. Thank you big, Jessica!”
“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 have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. I currently work form home so I can provide constant care if that is needed. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can make appropriate accommodations :) Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I CAN accommodate last minute requests. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“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!”
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”
About: Built trust with pets through patience, consistency, and positive interaction. Maintained safe, clean, and comfortable environments for animals at all times. Monitored pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or health and reported concerns promptly. On weekends, pet care is a regular and prioritized part of my routine. I plan my schedule to allow enough time for feeding, walking, cleaning, and quality interaction with the pets. I make sure they are fed on time, taken out for exercise, and given attention and play to keep them mentally stimulated. I also monitor their behavior and health, ensuring they are comfortable and safe throughout the day. My weekends are flexible, which allows me to be fully attentive to pets’ needs without rushing. I care for pets by following their established routines, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, cleanliness, and attention. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with owners.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
About: I have taken care of dogs for around five years. I will make sure your dog is well loved and cared for. I will take them on lots of walks, and like I said, give them lots of love. I’m currently in school working towards my x-ray degree. I have class Monday, Wednesday at five and Thursdays I’m unavailable all day. Any other time I’m completely available to give your dog lots of love and all the walks that they need. As of right now, I’m living in an apartment with lots of grass, but no fenced backyard. But I will take them on lots and lots of walks.
“Emma did an amazing job watching my dogs. She was available last minute, a great communicator, and spent a ton of time with my dogs! She took great care of my house as well. Highly recommend!!”
“We’ve booked with her multiple times, and she has been amazing every single time! She takes such great care of our dogs, sends thoughtful updates and photos, and truly treats them like her own. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her!”
“Lindsay looked after our pup and home for the past 2 weeks and we couldn’t be happier. Lindsay was responsive to all communications and took great care of our pup and home. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
“Jessie is an absolute professional! Yes, amazing with my dog - he’s older - can’t hear - but he fell for her instantly. She also stayed at the house while I was traveling - I’m pretty particular about my home and she left it in a perfect state. She is dependent - respectful and laid out a detailed schedule and adhered to it exactly! Hire her and pay her double - she is worth every bit of it! John”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taylor
Candace was wonderful! She housesat for our three kitties during our 3-day trip. She was punctual, kept in great touch with regular photo updates, and carefully handled their specific feeding routines and medication. She made sure they had plenty of food and fresh water, cleaned the litter boxes, brought in the mail, and even watered our plants. Knowing our fur babies were so well cared for let us fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Candace and would definitely hire her again!
Jayd & Ecko were great with our babies. They took good care of our home while we were out of town. They kept us updated with pictures. We appreciated them coming to do meet up prior to our trip. Our girls seemed very happy when we got home, we could tell they were loved. We would happily re-book them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Taylor is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $75 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
