“Emma was amazing to work with and made the whole process a breeze. They made sure to do a meet and greet, send pictures, and make sure the dogs had everything by they needed while we were gone. They kept us updated on how everyone was doing and we felt at ease knowing everyone was cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Madison for taking such great care of our baby while we were away on vacation! We received several updates, pictures, and I felt completely at ease knowing Toby was in great care.”
About: With over 3 years of experience, I’ve provided loving care for dogs of all ages especially senior dogs, including an 8 year old pup I’ve cared for longterm. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled in senior pet support, including understanding their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddles, I tailor care to every dog’s personality and age. As a current college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of free time throughout the day and week to dedicate to pet care. I plan my classes to allow for consistent availability, making it easy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love the balance it brings to my day. You can count on me to be dependable and attentive to your pet’s needs. When pet sitting, I ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and give them lots of attention and affection. You can trust me to treat your pet and home with the utmost care and respect.
“Niyah did a lovely job taking care of my cat, Baker, for the day. She was responsive and sent a bunch of photos. I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time I need a sitter again and anyone would be lucky to hire her to take care of their fur babies”
About: Hi! I’m Katy, and I would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m a full-time music therapist, which means patience, attentiveness, and compassion are a big part of my everyday life. I bring that same calm and caring approach to every animal I look after. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away! I am available every day. Usually will check-in during mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am available all day for weekends. I am very thorough and flexible. Please message me so I can fit your exact schedule! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. 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.
“Abigail was great! She came over for an initial meet and greet before officially booking. She was incredibly flexible and willing to help out with what we needed — especially once we needed to change plans a little. Would absolutely book again and use her for our dogs, she just checked in on the cats for us.”
About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.
“This is the second time we have had Desi watch our pit bull and my dog loves her! Desi follows her medication schedule and sends me lovely pictures throughout the day! We will always have her watch my girl!”
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!
“Shakarra watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats for 2 weeks. I’ve never been away from them for that long. She kept me up to date and was very responsive. I appreciated having someone in our home who everyone was comfortable with. She came over 2 times before actually staying to make sure things were going to work. My dogs took to her immediately. I ran into some travel delays but Shakarra was flexible and kind enough to do an additional stop by to make sure everyone was good. She tidied up the house before she left which was icing on the cake for our arrival home. I feel so grateful to have found a great pet sitter on the first go around.”
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 worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.
“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole entire life from my family having them to me adopting dogs as well as taking them in when needed and saving them! I have my own dog named Trappy and 2 cats named Pickles and Nico! I work a full time job Wednesday-Sunday until 4pm after that I am available as well as Monday and Tuesday all day. Sundays are excluded. Communication is key I can make arrangements! Feed Trappy with a half can of wet food in the morning, as well as split a wet can of food for the cats and put out dry food for free feeding. Keep the water fountain clean and full

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terre Haute
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 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 65 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.
