About: I have cared for and lived around dogs and cats most of my life. I have taken care of neighbor’s pets growing up while out of town. I have also taken care of my dog, Gunnar, for over eight years since he was a puppy. I will treat your pet like it’s my own with great care and attention! I am currently unemployed, so I have an open schedule(: I do have a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Resource Management where I have worked with wildlife. I am able to accommodate any wants or needs for your pet. I have dealt with crates, prescriptions, different types of collars, and more. I am able to do walks at any length.
About: I was raised right alongside the dogs and cats, and i hold experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! Dogs, cats, kittens, fish, gerbil, even horses! My mother is a retired dog trainer who’s taught me a great deal of tidbits in animal care, and she’s always here incase i need some extra advice on the job. I also have experience with dogs that have mild to moderate special needs. One of our current dogs, Rusty, is a picky eater in diapers. Unfortunately i don’t have a lot of experience with puppies, so i will not accept them at this time. I will only consider a dog under a year if they are very well mannered. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I have a knack for getting them to like me somehow! Heres what i WON’T do: -i won’t take any dog with a history of aggression and/or biting. -i cannot accommodate high energy dogs. -i won’t take large/giant dogs. May consider if they are extremely well mannered and leash trained. Im a small woman! -house trained pets only. -pets with extreme special needs. I am equipped to handle mild to moderate special needs. I will always request a detailed schedule/list as well as house dos and don’ts. I take my job seriously and want to do it right. Plus, you can relax a little more and i won’t bother you with too many little questions! Thanks for listening! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I am very flexible as i currently only have a part time job i work Friday mornings-early noon. On Fridays, the schedule may differ by a few hours but i’ll always make sure to get back to your friend ASAP! I’ll make sure to spend as much time with your friend as they need that i can give! Walks, treats, lovin, you ask and i’ll do mu best to provide!

About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I understand that pets are part of the family, and I want to make sure they receive the same love and attention they would get from their owners. I offer pet sitting and dog walking services, including feeding, playing, going on walks, potty breaks, and giving lots of love and attention. I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to follow their normal routines and make them feel comfortable. I am patient, attentive, and willing to adjust to each pet's individual needs and personality. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to work with owners to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I would love to help! I also believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates and pictures to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to create a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and treating them like my own! I am currently in college but I am only part time so therefore I am free and completely available to watch your pups or take on walks. I have one dog to keep your dogs company and have cords for the dogs but most of the time they would be hand walked as I enjoy that better.
“Eliza was wonderful with my dogs! Accepted a somewhat last minute request for dog sitting at my house. She sent an update when she was settled in with the dogs, which is always comforting to hear. She was able to give meds to my dog since she was experiencing some pain on her nail. Came back and she’d also cleaned up the dogs’ wet paw prints from outside. Overall, very happy with Eliza’s care with my dogs and would rebook!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Teays Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 95 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Teays Valley. 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 Teays Valley 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 Teays Valley 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 Teays Valley 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.
