“Candace did an amazing job with our dog. She was very detailed and thorough with updates and photos which we really appreciated. I felt like our pup was in great hands while we were out of town and didn’t worry at all. We’ll definitely be using Candace next time we need a sitter!”

“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!”
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Jayda and Echo were amazing dog sitters. They took great care of both our vizslas. Both our dogs have very different personalities and they were great with them! The house was left clean and the dogs were tired. They sent pictures throughout the day. We were so grateful we could leave the dogs without any worries!”
“I have booked with Ashley multiple times now. Having her as my go to dog sitter has been so amazing. I know when I am out of town everything is being very well taken care of. She is so amazing with my dog and sends the cutest pictures. I am so lucky I have her to be with Oliver while I am gone.”

“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!”

“This gal hit a home run caring for my pup. I didn’t worry a single minute with Bailey by my fur baby’s side! She walked her daily before the temps were too hot and tended to her every need. I appreciated the photo updates as well! Bailey is an ALLSTAR!”
“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 will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
