“Margaret took great care of the pups. I think the dogs had such a great time in her care, they would have liked us to take a few more days of vacation. In all seriousness, Margaret is responsible, caring and we'll definitely reach out to her the next time we need pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Megan is AMAZING. She is communicative, punctual, and was great with both our cat and dog. I left detailed notes and she followed them perfectly. Her updates and photos were detailed and frequent. I will use Megan again and again, in fact, she is already booked for next time! Thanks, Megan, for a great job!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets on my own since I was young and have always had a strong love for animals. Growing up, I regularly helped take care of pets for family, friends, and people in my community, including feeding, walking, playing with, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Volunteering at shelters has taught me to be patient, attentive, and understanding with every animal, especially those who may be nervous or need extra attention. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and want every pet I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. 🐶🐱❤️ I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can often accommodate different times throughout the week. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is getting genuine attention, patience, and affection—not just a quick check-in. I’m attentive during walks and playtime, make sure pets are supervised, and always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for.
“I booked Melanie literally like a week before my trip. She made accommodations and met me the next day after booking to come meet our lil Henry! She replied to my texts super fast and was open about any needs or questions. She kept me updated regularly and sent lots of pictures which allowed me to enjoy our time away!!! On top of caring for Henry, she was genuinely funny and enjoyable to communicate with. It was clear to me that she truly cared and treated him like he was her own! I already got another lil gig for her because I know for a fact he'll be in good hands! LOVEEE HERRRRR!!! 10/10!!”
“Rebecca was really good with our dog, took her for many walks, sent lots of photos daily, extremely friendly, capable, knowledgeable and left the house spotless. We would definitely engage Rebecca again.”
“Wonderful experience! Elizabeth was very sweet with our dogs! They seemed to love her! She was very communicative and followed our requests and asked great questions! And I love all the pics and the video we received! She also left a lovely card in our screen for when we got home! Thank you Elizabeth! We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I absolutely love dogs with everything I have. I will provide your baby the best health, care and affection. It would be a pleasure to take care morning potty break outside, go inside to feed breakfast, morning dog park, lunch time, afternoon park, dinner time, potty break outside before sleeping inside with treats, food, and water I live in a very safe and quiet community. No cars usually pass by and I have a very big fenced backyard with a big lawn of grass.
“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”
“Yesi made it possible for us to leave our beloved pets and go enjoy a family wedding. I felt comfortable with the care and patience they had with our diverse bunch of fur babies (and koi fish). And we got some adorable photos sent to us that helped ease my maternal guilt. I am already looking to book Yesi for our next weekend away!”
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
About: Your dog will stay on our private 5-acre ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned.

About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
About: I have been around animals my whole life! I have had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rats, frogs, and hamsters to name a few animals.

Feeding them twice a day and going potty several times throughout the day and also play time
About: I’ve been around of medium/large dogs essentially my entire life and have provided care to them during every stage of their lives. I posses the confidence, patience, and discipline needed to care for young pets and those in training. !!Available for daily walks and repeat bookings!! You and your pets get first pick of my available days. Even during a booked out week my dog gets time every day to train, run/swim, and even get some cuddles in. While I am being hired to care for your pets, I will always be a guest in your home. Whether I am given access to the interior or only your yard I won’t tamper with your belongings or disregard your house rules. I will also do my best to leave your place just as I found it, cleaning up after your pet where need be.
“I can’t say enough great things about Danica!! I was very nervous to leave my new rescue for the first time, as she can be slightly reactive to people. But Danica was so great with her, giving off gentle and calm energy. Will easily book her again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terminous on Rover is $21.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,277 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terminous. 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 Terminous 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 Terminous 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 Terminous 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.
