Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.

About: I currently work as a kennel attendant at a vet clinic. I work with all different kinds of dogs and cats. So I have experience with both big and small breeds. I live with 6 cats and I work at a veterinarian office as a kennel attendant so I'm used to cleaning and caring for animals of all breed and sizes. I usually like to do morning feedings and while the animal are eating I clean their Kennels or pick up any messes they may have made. After they finish eating I take them out on a walk. Then in the afternoon I repeat the same process. Let me know your routine so I can follow

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and it's something I truly enjoy! I grew up with 3 dogs of my own and I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or just providing plenty of love and attention, I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring and responsible hands! I work a full-time hybrid position, therefore I can stay home with your fur babies during the day besides the 2 and/or 3 days I go into the office a week. If I am in the office, I would be able to come let them out on my 1 hour lunch break! I have a fenced in backyard on 2.5 acres and live in a neighborhood that I can walk them in. When I am gone, I can crate them if needed!

In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and have a calm and safe environment. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.

Nyah was amazing! I work from home so I rarely have to leave. I was so worried about leaving my baby on her own. She loves people. So I was so happy that Nyah was able to stay with her overnight two nights. I came home to everything in its place and my kitty happy. I could not ask for more!!!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was young and love watching all animals! I have two dogs of my own, one that has seizures so I am equipped for medication or anything of that need! I also recently got a kitten of my own and understand the needs for cats as well! I am a college athlete so I am fit for dealing with larger animals too! I currently am a college student but when I come home for summer I always come back and pet sit! I pet sit for neighbors, families, and friends! I have a kitten of my own and two dogs I take care of daily. I have two dogs at home that are both playful and nice. My one dog does have seizures so I preferably would watch pets at the clients home and follow their needed care instructions!

About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine.

I would love to use my pet-sitting, walking, and grooming skills to care for your dogs and cats! Available any time or day. Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity.

About: Absolutely love animals so very excited to be helping others care for their furry loved ones! I’m very active and enjoy walks, so let me take your doggy with me! Have always been patient and kind with animals, because I understand they don’t always trust other humans besides their owner. I’ve had cats my whole life and used to have 2 small dogs my self as a child, but I have helped many friends care for their dogs and eventually I hope to have my own dog in the future, as well, but for now I plan to just have fun with dogs through this app! Can’t wait to meet your furry friends!! Currently working from home so have plenty of time to help you with the care of your animals! I’m not able to board yet, but hopefully someday. Please inform me on how you want care to be for your animals and I will do just that! I can feed/water as needed, play with the’m, give any medications needed, or just love on them!

About: I have always loved having pets, especially since I grew up with two of them in my household. One of them was a Cane Corso and the other was a Chihuahua Terrier mix. Additionally, my grandmother has three tiny dogs that I have had the pleasure of growing up with. My love for animals, especially dogs, has inspired me to pursue a career as a zoologist. In fact, I even took vet classes while attending Duncanville High School. I have a balanced schedule that allows me to take care of my pets. As a student athlete and animal enthusiast, I'm currently home full time having recently graduated from college. I have a fenced back yard and a open front yard. As far as dog waking, I live in a circular community which make it very easy to walk around, yet get a exercise as well

About: As a pet sitter, there are several qualities and skill that set me apart from others in the industry. While many pet sitters have a genuine love for animals, I believe it takes more than just love to truly excel in this role. One of the key skills that I possess is my strong observational skills. I am able to quickly assess a pet’s behavior and mood, allowing me to anticipate any potential issues or take action if nescessary. This skill is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets under my care. In additon, I have a high level of patience and understanding when it comes to working with pets. I understand that each pet is unique and may have specific needs or preferences. By being patient and attentive, I am able to build a strong rapport with the pets I care for, making them feel comfortable and secure in my presence. Furthermore, I have excellent communication skills, both with pets and their owners. I am able to effectively communicate with pets through body language and vocal cues, making it easier for me to understand their needs and respond accordingly. When it comes to communicating with pet owners, I am able to provide regular updates and feedback to keep them informed and reassured about their pet’s well-being. Reviews are always appreciated. Currently most of my available days are Saturdays and Sundays. If you are needing a care giver on weekdays please feel free to contact me. If I am available I would be happy to help. Caring for pets on a walk is an essential part of being a responsible pet sitter. Walking your pet provides them with excercise and mental stimulation. To ensure that your pet is well taken care of during our walk there are several important steps that I follow. First and foremost, it is crucial to make sure that the pet is properly leashed and under my control at all times. This is not only for the safety of the pet, but others as well as the sitter. Proper leashing depends on the size and weight of your dog. I am mindful of your pets physical needs and limitations. If your dog has medial conditions or is older please consider booking shorter walks. Weather is also an important factor within dog walking. If weather is too severe and I do not think it is safe for your pet … I will ask you to reschedule. Please check the weather before booking. I am mindful of your pets body language, and other cues during our walk. If I am sensing something may be upsetting your pet … I will contact you immediately. No need to provide poop bags … I always bring extra. Caring for pets on a walk involves a combination of proper equipment, consideration of their physical needs, attentiveness to their behavior and respect for the environment. By following these guidelines and taking the time to ensure your pet is happy and safe … I am creating a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet.

About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.

About: I have had my dog millie for 8 years now, which i begged for ever since middle school. I have trained her and she knows all the tricks, so i have experience in training especially when young. She is a vizsla poodle mix and if you know anything about vizslas is that they are very high energy dogs. She has been on many adventures with me and i am always down for some walks. Many family members have relied on me to care for their pups while away on vacations. I have been bathing/grooming my dog myself ever since i’ve had her so i am comfortable with bathing dogs and strong enough to bathe larger dogs. I have also cared for reptiles and have taken care of bearded dragons and leopard geckos if you need other animals cared for as well. I am currently working part time at a dental office as an assistant. I have Fridays plus weekends completely available as well as evenings on week days. My boss takes frequent trips so i also have a lot of free time during those days. I have a vizsla poodle mix that is 8 years old whom i have cared for since she was 6 months old. We also have another vizsla to keep her company and the play often. I have a fenced in backyard and have trained mine to potty on command (it’s routinely at this point). I do not have crates in my home so you will have to bring one if that is preferred. We have gates in the house to keep the puppers away from wandering around at night so there is an option to separate.

We had the best experience having Kirstin take care of our kitties while we were out of town! We received daily updates and pictures, which made our worries disappear and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. It was clear our cats were well cared for and received lots of attention and love. We came home to happy kitties and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely recommend Kirstin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful cat sitter! 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Terre Haute

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Terre Haute on Rover is $33.3 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 64 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terre Haute. 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 Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute 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.
