“Stayed overnight with our 3 dogs. She was very flexible with our house and living situation being under construction. Provided cuddles and care to the dogs. Very thankful to have the house and pets taken care of while we were away. Thank you!”
“Sarah was awesome! This was our first time trying out the "house sitting" option on here, and we felt like our fur babies loved meeting a new friend! We needed to go out of town and unfortunately the family friend who was going to look after the dogs, needed to cancel, so I reached out to a couple sitters on here and Sarah got right back to us - we scheduled a meet and greet and confirmed! We felt very comfortable with her staying at our place and watching our three dogs. She updated and sent photos, which was wonderful. When we got home, they seemed happy which is most important. Definitely will request house sitting again from her!”
“Sarea was amazing. She sent constant updates and photos of our 3 dogs. We did not have to worry about anything. We requested a room in and stay at the house, which she did and kept our home spotless-went above and beyond cleaning up the yard of dog waste. Came home to everything being the same as we left it. Our dogs were extremely well cared for, she played fetch with our 4 year old lab, walked with our two senior dogs-she helped keep them safe and entertained, loved until we got back. We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Sarea”
“Mayra was amazing! Met up ahead of time to meet our three pups and asked great questions about their care and schedule information. We received pictures all weekend long of our pups having the best time. Thanks Mayra!!”
“Eden was absolutely wonderful! She did a great job with my two boys, sent lots of pictures, and stayed in constant communication about what was going on!! Will absolutely be using her services again.”
About: I've had some experience with small family dogs but have many years of experience with cats. I can feed, walk, give potty breaks, clean up after, and play with your pets. I am working full time as a caregiver and will be available after 7pm on the weekdays and all day on most weekends. We can discuss care and scheduling accordingly. I will provide a safe space for your pet in your home while providing care, companionship, and and play to give what your pets need.
“Arizonia is AMAZING!!! She took care of our 2 frenchies for a couple days and it was as smooth as can be. Not only were the boys happy when we got back but our house was immaculate and she baked us some treats ? We’ll for sure have her again!!”
“Ricky was absolutely everything I could ask for from a pet sitter. He stayed at my house for 18 days while I was overseas, and gave me 100% confidence my animals were being well cared for. He's calm and friendly with them, took them for more walks than I do, sent pictures and updates. He's thorough and professional and an all round nice guy. I'll definitely be having him back!”
“Madisen did a wonderful job caring for my cat, Willow. She was communicative during my trip and kept me up to date on how things were going. Most of all, I returned home to a happy and healthy cat. Thank you!”
“Diana took care of our quirky catahoula dog like he was her own! He had so much fun with her and was just as we left him on return. She also took great care of our house. She sent lovely fun pictures of them playing and hanging out! We appreciated the updates and the prompt communication. Pets (and humans!) would be lucky to have her care for them while away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs! Big, small, happy and angry ones! I currently have 3 XL dogs who are my babies :-) I know all pups can be different and I plan to get to know each and every one of them! I just moved into the Yakima area and I’m available pretty much 24/7! I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant but I’m still very active for walks and play time with pups :-) I currently have 3 large dogs and have plenty experience with leash pulling/controlling large strong pups. I know an escape artist when I see one (I have a husky)!
“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“William and Jessica were very loving and caring towards both my elderly dog and youthful/energetic pup. They were communicative and easily accessible. The pair left my home in good condition and were obviously respectful. At the end of the visit, they inquired if I had any feedback on any issues. I did not. My dogs were healthy and happy upon my return. I will hire William and Jessica again.”
“10/10 fabulous experience! Carol was extremely communicative, asked to book a meet & greet despite my last minute booking, was super responsible with our home & left it in great shape, and was just a really lovely person. I cannot overemphasize how well she reads dogs - for instance, my barky pom was being his usual guard dog self, and she mentioned she was going to stop doing eye contact with him so he would have a chance to settle. And he settled very quickly! She's so experienced with dogs, and it was a huge bonus that I found out that she has fostered dogs in the past. You have to have a lot of empathy, hope, flexibility and patience to be an animal foster parent, and I love that she came to us with all that and more. I've lost track of all the cool things she did - she tended to our plants, she took my dogs on jogs very often, improved my recipes for the dog's treats and food according to health needs.... the list goes on and on. All with Carol being very chill and sweet and super easy to work with. I'd have her back in a heartbeat. All my dogs LOVED her, from the puppyish 2 year old to the old lady 13 year old in our pack. 5 stars, 10/10, easy stress-free experience!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrace Heights
My husband and I always have worries when leaving our dog with a sitter, but we can honestly say we were able to enjoy our vacation without a doubt. Liam came and met our dog before our trip, and took great care of our house while we were away. We got daily photos, and our dog was so happy to see us when we got home. We are already planning our next getaway now that we have Liam.

FAQs for House Sitting - Terrace Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrace Heights on Rover is $38.77 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrace Heights. 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 Terrace Heights 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 Terrace Heights 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 Terrace Heights 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.

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.
