“Carla took amazing care of our puppies while we were away! She matched her schedule to their routine to help minimize their anxiety and was super communicative the whole time. She was amazing! 🤩”
“Enya did a great job with my cat Buster. He was doing very well when we got home from vacation. She sent photos and communicated well while we were gone. I would use her again and recommend her to others.”

“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
About: I've had dogs and cats for 16 years and I'm currently pet free at the moment. I've found myself with a lot of free time lately and I'd like to meet your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I'm available most days except for evening hours. I'm taking time off work at the moment and would like to offer my time to people that might need a little extra help caring for their furry family members. Please provide detailed instructions so I am able to give your pet the care that they deserve. I will treat them like my own, and that means lots of pets and positive reinforcement!
About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.
“Kendall stayed in our house to watch our two Goldens for an extended weekend. The pups seemed to have enjoyed themselves, and the house was very clean! She clearly took great care of them, and sent us picture updates the whole time. I will be contacting her again to book her in the future when needed, as I can know I can fully trust her in my house and with my dogs!”
About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
“Courtney and John Francis were excellent! They took great care of our three cats and even watered the plants. We received photos and updates throughout our time gone even though we didn't have service the entire time. They vacuumed near the litter before we came home as well. We'd rebook with them any time and they seemed very cool when we met them in person! We'll definitely be using them as a resource in the future!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 14 years old. I’ve always had a passion for animals. I have two dogs my self (a mini schnauzer and a mini dachshund) plus a cat that we adopted. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs with anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home mom looking to make an extra income and helping families with their fur babies. It would be the perfect fit for me because I love animals! I have 2 friendly dogs that can make companion to your fur baby if they stay in my home. Also if I take care of your babies in your home I am very attentive to them since I love what I do which is taking care of fur pets!
About: I have been dog sitting since I was kid and I have own dogs since I was in middle school. My family even had 3 dogs at once. I work from home half the week and I am available to watch dogs. I would love to check in on your dogs or have them come hangout with mine during the day. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door that the dogs can use to have access to outside. My dogs love having friends to play with.
About: I’ve had a dog since I could remember and taken care of my friend’s and family’s loving pets throughout my 40 years of life. I’ll be happy to walk, feed, and care for your pets. I do work remotely from home so I’ll be readily available to care for your pets. I work remotely from home, I may run an errand before or after work or do my hot yoga, but for the most part I work 9-5pm from home. I have a nice corner lot home with a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around. I pick up the dog poop after my own puppy. My house is clean and pets are allowed to roam without having to be crated.
“We booked Dykan for the first time for a long weekend away for house sitting. He volunteered to meet us and our two dogs before the booking to make sure we had a match which was greatly appreciated! Dylan is highly responsive, always providing updates, photos and videos throughout the day and night. Not only did he take incredible care of our fur babies, he also cleaned up everything that he used, from towels to toilet! We’ve already booked him again for our next trip. Thanks Dylan!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since a very young age. That be cats, dogs, chickens and more! With the pets either being of my own, family or friends I have been able to also teach their furry friend to learn a trick or two. Besides from having fun you can rely on me to walk, feed, bathe and even distribute your pets medication to them. I am currently going to school but have an open schedule. My schedule is flexible so if your pet needs an early morning walk before 8am or a afternoon snack after 3pm during the week I’m here. Weekends I am available 24/7! I have a fenced yard and two friendly furry friends to keep your pet company! If your pet is needing to be within a crate or closed off area that is also able to be done.
About: I took care of dogs for a short time, with old partners. They were brought into my life and I don’t see them much these days but the time I was included in their life it brought joy to me. I don’t own dogs myself but I actively help to take care of two dogs with my partner. They are so funny and crazy, and I absolutely adore them. I am willing to care for small and large dogs size does not deter me all of their basic needs are a breeze for me and any special requirements I am sure I can manage! I work part time as a pharmacy technician, my hours are generally short and spread out across the week so I have plenty of time to be flexible and head to and fro. I don’t generally do a whole lot other than anyone else’s daily errands cooking, cleaning, and such so I’m not required to use any other spare time for anything so I can put your pets first! I will not be offering boarding services, I am available for in-home pet care. I am capable of all basic care , including any special requirements for feeding or medication or anything like that does not deter me. I was the sole caretaker of my own tripod for the months after his amputation. He required daily medications and monitoring, special adjustments around the house for his own daily routine, and so on. So I am not afraid to help with any special care.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Terrell is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrell
If you're ever unsure of leaving your animals, just leave it to Enya! She is a rockstar and we are so relieved to have found a petsitter that takes care of our babies as her own. Our rescue dog has high anxiety when separated from her humans, and we were nervous leaving her for the first time. She took a few days to warm up but Enya was gentle, patient, and considerate of her space and boundaries. By day two, our dog came around. Our cats absolutely adored her from the start and seemed to get along better for her than they ever have for us! Enya kept us updated on the regular and is quick to respond / shift care as needed. Our place was left exactly as she found it, and she even went above and beyond to make our animals' spots around the house even cozier. No need to look further, Enya is your girl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Terrell is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Terrell 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 Terrell 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 Terrell 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Terrell. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
