“Annabeth was very accommodating and is trustworthy. She communicated with us and made the process a breeze. Would highly recommend her services to anyone that is looking for a mature and responsible individual!”
“Haley took wonderful care of Smudge for us while we were away. She provided photos each time she checked in on our dog and we appreciate knowing how he was doing with each visit. We are grateful to have Haley care for our boy.”
“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Emma was great! She’s a good communicator and pays close attention to detail. Most importantly, my dogs loved her! I felt so comfortable leaving my babies in her care and when I came back they were so relaxed and happy! I will absolutely be contacting her in the future to care for my dogs!”
“Katelyn is always so wonderful! I’ve used her a few times she the sweetest with my girls and their needs. She’s always so flexible with my travel when she can. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust with my babies in my home if I need to leave. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Missy is an absolute angel and spoiled my babies! She not only took such great care of my dogs, but my house and I felt safe knowing she was here taking care of things. She's an excellent communicator and really went above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Alyssen was great taking care of our dog. She was reliable and even took him for long walks a couple days. Stoppped in the day before to meet him and get the instructions for taking care of our pet.”
“Sean stayed with our senior Pomeranian, Bear, for seven days over the Christmas holiday, and as always, he was absolutely amazing. Our home was spotless when we returned, and the updates Sean provided were thoughtful, reassuring, and perfectly timed. We truly can’t say enough positive things about him. Bear may only be 13 pounds, but he’s very feisty and has a fairly involved care routine. He requires daily medications, injections, and eye drops, and Sean handles all of it with complete ease and confidence. It’s immediately clear that Sean has a deep love for animals and gives an incredible level of attention, care, and detail to Bear’s needs. We’ve been using Sean for nearly two years now, and he is truly our go-to pet sitter. We trust him immensely and often plan our vacations around his availability because he knows Bear, understands his routine, and cares for him as if he were his own. That peace of mind is priceless. Another huge benefit is Sean’s ability—despite his other commitments—to stay at our house for extended periods of time. This is especially important for Bear as a senior dog who needs frequent bathroom breaks. Sean’s flexibility and presence make a world of difference for Bear’s comfort and well-being. In short, the level of care and service Sean provides is truly unmatched. If there’s one “negative,” it’s only that he’s so popular that we have to book well in advance to make sure we get on his schedule. We cannot recommend Sean highly enough.”
About: I have multiple years of experience taking care of various size dogs (10 lbs to 180 lbs). I have dog walking experience with small to medium size dogs. I have house sitting experience with multiple dogs various weights and breeds. I can adjust care for age and wellness issues. I maintain the feeding and potty break schedules you set for your pet(s). I am open to providing specialized care and medications needed. I am here to listen to who your pet is and what makes him or her special to you. Do they like belly rubs, chasing a ball, pulling on a rope, do they snuggle up during thunder storms, what about that special blanket or stuffed animal? I love interacting and playing with pets throughout the day. When I house sit, I remain on site unless walking your pet. Larger breed dogs I prefer fenced yards. Light house chores are included in my services. I send daily photos or short videos with updates of your pets daily via text letting you know they are safe and loved. I also house sit cats. I volunteered with HARTS non profit which adopted abandoned cats with special needs or who had been abused. I am mostly free unless it's weekends I do see my dad every Saturday however, If you need me to stay an extra week I need at least a 3 day heads up (before or during the time I'm taking care of your cat/dog) to know so I can call my father about it! Other then that I'm mostly free and can take care of your pets for at least a week or if need 2 weeks while your on vacation! I will feed them the food that's needed, if your dog/cat has a special diet please let me know so I can give them the right food, if they have a health problem I need to know so I can take care of them like a sprained ankle or heart problem with the meds ready for me to give them, if your dog/cat has behavior issues I need to know, I have worked with dogs/cats in the past with behavior issues so that's important information to know about, I can take your dog on walks if they are small/medium but if they are large I would prefer of you have a fence in yard please.
“Dawn was great with our furbabies! She made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages throughout our time away. We did not have to worry that they were not being properly cared for while gone.”
“Jacqueline was great! She provided updates and pictures on a daily basis of my dog. I could tell he was having a fantastic time with her and was being loved on. He was ridiculously excited to see her again when she stopped by the next day to pick up something she forget.”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I would highly recommend Andrea. Andrea is an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, and she’s never given us reason to worry about her arriving on time or leaving early. Andrea has stayed in our home several days now and leaves little to no trace that she was there. Our animals love her and she follows all my notes, so they get the best care when I’m away. Because of Andrea, I can take guilt- and worry-free trips.”
About: I have owned dogs/cats since I was a very small child and have cared for them like they were my siblings/children every time. I currently have an 11yo cat, Diesel, that is my heart and joy! My long term bubbie was a Rottweiler/husky mix that was with my family for 14 amazing years, and we have cared for countless foster dogs since then. In addition I care for friends/coworkers/others dogs regularly and get glowing reviews the dogs are relaxed and at peace when the owner returns home vs experiencing separation anxiety. I am a teacher, my summers are free giving me the availability to be attentive to your furry loved ones during this time while you vacation! I am very affectionate with my cat and ensure all his needs are met the moment he makes me aware of them. Same for my clients’ pets, the slightest whimper or upset sound I will tend to them and figure out what has disturbed them until we’re able to settle back into a comfortable space in the home. This is usually when I do overnight stays and the pets get anxious.
“Alexa was a God-send for me and Hank! She gave frequent updates (which i love) and followed my instructions for Hank's specific routine. Hank loves her! She's reliable and on time, she even stayed with him longer than scheduled to play with him. Thanks Alexa for giving me peace of mind.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Taylorsport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taylorsport on Rover is $37.04 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 1,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taylorsport. 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 Taylorsport 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 Taylorsport 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 Taylorsport 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
