About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.

About: Hi, I'm Lori! I have been involved in animal rescue & pet sitting for many years. I've always had pets of my own as far back as I can remember. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. Senior pets are my weakness, but I'm not picky- I've even sat for a pig! Trusting your pet's care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is flexible! Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! Feel free to shoot me a message! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. Rescue work exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities; giving me invaluable experience. I will care for your pet and home like it's my own.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been around big dogs my entire life, so I'm comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or giving lots of belly rubs and attention. As a nurse, I'm dependable, attentive, and always put safety first. I'll care for your pup like they're my own and make sure they have a fun, happy, and stress free experience! 🐾🤍 I’m a full time nurse but am free 4/7 days of the week! Love taking care of all dogs !! Used to random hours (early or late) so whenever needed! For everyone's safety and comfort, I provide care in your home and neighborhood rather than my own. I'm happy to come to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime, so your pup can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention and care they deserve. :)

Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a one-bedroom apartment where I can host pets, and I’m also able to provide walks and potty breaks. I’m flexible and always open to clear communication with owners.

About: I’ve had large and small dogs in my house all my life so i’ve been comfortable taking care of neighbor’s dogs and houses for any period of time. I’m comfortable with large and small breeds and many different energy level requirements. I had been previously nannying but now have a full schedule for pet care needs! Weekdays and weekends all the same, days or times i’m not available will be updated as soon as possible. Fenced in yard or not the animals will have plenty of potty breaks and walks. During my days I will have errands and events but can spend plenty of downtime and cuddle with the pets. I have no problem crating them when gone if needed and can stay on schedule with given feeding times.

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with extensive experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and needs. For six years, I fostered dogs ranging from tiny puppies to senior and special-needs dogs, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments and care requirements. I also volunteered with the Humane Society for five years, including three years on the Board of Directors, which strengthened my commitment to animal welfare. At home, I currently have three dogs—a small, medium, and giant breed (English Mastiff!)—so I’m comfortable with everything from gentle companions to big, energetic pups. Your dog will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’ve structured my schedule specifically to be available for lunchtime drop-ins and walks during the week. This allows me to give dogs a reliable midday break when their owners can’t make it home. I also keep my weekends fully open, so I can provide flexible care, extra visits, or longer walks as needed. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life, and I’m happy to build my routine around giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow your routine as closely as possible to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get fresh water, a potty break, and any feeding or medications they need. I take the time to give them attention, playtime, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and safe while you’re away. I’m careful to respect your home, follow all instructions you provide, and keep things clean and tidy. I also send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide calm, consistent care that helps your pet feel secure in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family and their referrals for the last 10 years. I have had many different kinds of animals of my own as well, including large and small breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and fish - so I have experience with all of these animals and know how to properly care for each of them. I have handled pets of all temperaments from the super friendly and cuddly to those that prefer to be left alone, and I love them all! It is a honor to be able to spend time making an animal’s life happier! Drop ins I am available - 5am-7am, 11am - 2pm, and 5:30pm-10:30pm any day. I do drop ins for meals and potty breaks and walks requested throughout their day in those windows of time so no meal is missed! My love for animals is infinite and protecting them is my natural instinct. I will always be aware of our surroundings, checking the yard to make sure it is clear before they go out as well as being aware of who is around us while out walking. I will ask lots of questions in the meet and greets about their behaviors, likes/dislikes, dominant or protective instincts and how they handle other adults, children and animals. I want your pets to be as safe, calm, happy and fulfilled as possible while you are away and for my clients to feel at ease and comfortable that their pets are doing well at home.

I like to play with dogs and my baby loves the company of dogs, I can crate them when needed if that’s how you do things, I’d keep them on there schedule that they would normally have at home.

About: I've owned pets for most of my life. Friends and family frequently ask me to watch their pets when they're away. I have experience with sitting for both cats and dogs. I'm in between jobs so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I'm free most days and am usual active in the afternoon. I will treat your pet and your home with utmost respect. I'm used to coming in and feeding, as well as walks or cleaning up litter boxes. I'll give your pets all the attention they need, but will respect their space if they don't seem willing.

About: I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful ones who need socialization and routine to seniors who may require medication, special diets, or extra comfort and attention. I take the time to build trust at each pet’s pace, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care. I’m currently working part time during the summer, and attend college full time. My schedule during the academic year is pretty flexible! I can always work around times. I have my own dog who LOVES to play with others. He goes to doggy daycare almost everyday so he is very social. I also have a cat, who can be social at times but she is usually pretty content with other cats.

About: I've grown up basically my whole life taking care of family dogs and hanging out with neighbors and friends dogs. About 3 years ago I finally got my own dog, Mowgli, and we both love meeting new furry friends! We love going for long walks, playing catch and cooking together. I work full time but have a flex schedule, so when I don't have meetings scheduled at the office I work from home. If I am working at the office I always take the dogs on long walks in the morning and then come home during lunch to go for a quick walk and then another long walk after work. However, when dog sitting I tend to work from home during those days :) I tend to leave the water bowl always full for the dogs whenever they feel thirsty and then have a schedule of feeding them 3 times a day (with a couple treats here and there). I love just chilling with the dogs - especially outside when the weather is nice to get some vitamin D. Again, absolutely LOVE going on walks so there will be plenty of those :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Tea on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 334 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tea. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tea stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Tea 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Tea with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tea. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
