“Cynthia was excellent! She took great care of Millie, who is blind and diabetic, for a week while I was away. She sent me pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect! Definitely going to be my go-to when I need someone to care for my fur baby just like I would!!”
“Megan was great! She was so good with our dogs and let them out and played with them many times throughout the day. She we very respectful of our house by keeping it clean not breaking anything and also picking up a little for us. She was wonderful and we will be rebooking her!”
About: I grew up on a hobby farm with almost any critter you could imagine. We used our space to foster and rehabilitate animals, mostly dogs, cats, and horses. Through working with local humane societies, animal trainers, and breeders I think I have a very good understanding of animal behaviors and how to manage them. Working with animals has been a soul salve in my life and I love guiding animals through all stages of learning. I have slots of time all throughout my week where I am available to walk and check in on pets. Sunday is a free day. Monday and Tuesday I am free after 12, Wednesday-Friday I am free 6am-12, 5pm throughout the evening. Unfortunately at this moment I do not have a space that would allow to to board pets, but I am able to care for pets in their own homes. I am very communicative and I will work with you on your pet's specific needs and requirements, as well as any enrichment activities you would like to try.
“We really appreciated having Ann as a dog and house sitter. She had a wonderful rapport with our dog. She communicated daily with texts and pictures so that we felt connected and assured of our dogs care. I highly recommend Ann!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt completely natural to me. When I was younger, I fostered puppies, and as I got older I even went through therapy dog training, where I learned unique skills in reading dog behavior, building trust, and keeping pups calm in new situations. Now I dog‑sit and love your puppies when you can’t be there. I’ve watched dogs for many of my neighbors, and they’ve been so happy with the care I give that they often recommend me to their friends and family. I’d love to meet your furry best friend next! I’m currently taking time off from working to focus on college, which allows me to treat caring for your pet as my full‑time priority. Their schedule, their needs, and their comfort come first, and I’m fully dedicated to being there for them every step of the way. In order to provide the highest level of care, I like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn their pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs. Once I understand their daily rhythm, I follow those routines closely to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety. My goal is always to protect and care for your pets to the best of my ability.
“Brittany did a wonderful job watching our two cats. We have a cat who gets anxious when we leave and tends to pee on furniture or clothes if we are gone more than a day or two. We were gone for five days and there were no such incidents thanks to Brittany’s attentive care. Our animals seemed happy and content as if we hadn’t left at all, and it was such a relief to come home to relaxed animals in a clean home. 10/10, thank you Brittany!”
“Great pet sitter! Our dogs are always super happy when she sits for us. She’s great at keeping us updated and sending us pictures. We never have to worry when she’s pet sitting for us!”
“Mattie was the best ever!! She sent me pictures and updated me on how they were doing day to day! I would get Mattie again anytime I’m away, I really trusted her and the dogs loved her!! 💕💕”
“Josie did a great job taking care of our dogs - We loved the pictures! They got a lot of playtime and love from Josie! :) Would definitely recommend Josie and her family for your pet care needs!! We will definitely use her again.”
“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”
“Zachary was great! He got along with our dogs and even got the stand-offish one to warm up a bit! I think our dogs enjoyed having another dude around. He was super communicative and sent us the perfect amount of pics/updates. House looked great when we got home.”
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.
“We are newbies to Rover and were a little nervous at first. Alex totally put our minds at peace immediately with her professionalism and sweet personality. Prior to our trip Alex came and met our little gang to learn all the ins and outs of the dogs routines. While we were gone we received fun pictures and updates of how things were going which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were loved up and cared for by the Best! Alex is are go-to from now on, we absolutely adore her!”
“Emma was a delight!!! Milo loved her!!! Before staying, she came over to meet Milo and we knew right away he would get along great! The house was in the same as own as we left it. We would definitely ask Emma to stay with Milo again!”
“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Tea
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tea on Rover is $35.52 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 180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tea. 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 Tea 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 Tea 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
