“Our minds were set at ease knowing our fur babies were staying in our home with a loving provider. Carla did everything we asked of her and our babies loved her. We will definitely be using her again when we travel out of town.”
“Regina was on time, did everything we asked and kept us informed about her leaving Jet alone when she was going to be gone for a couple of hours. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Will hire her again.”
“So very thankful for Ale’s help with taking care of my dogs when I have to be out of town. I always come home to a clean house and yard, and very happy and well cared for dogs. Thank you for also being so accommodating with last minute bookings. I appreciate you!”
“Enya was very flexible with her time. I had to make a last minute adjustment and she happily accommodated my request. She is very communicative. She immediately connected with my 2 pittie mixes and made us feel confident and comfortable with her. Will definitely be using Enya again!! Highly recommend!”
“Paydence was wonderful. She communicated throughout the visit and was so respectful of my house. I came back to a very well cared for pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an A+ sitter.”
“Omg… KELILA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. So kind, so helpful and most importantly my baby loved her so mix. She was the best sitter I have ever had, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Kelila.”
“Kendra was amazing watching my boys Oliver and Sebastian. Oliver is special needs and has epilepsy so he needs meds 3x a day. Kendra had no issue administering his meds and making sure my baby was okay and taken care of. she even let me know each time she gave his meds so my mind was at ease. She made me very comfortable as I haven’t left my boys with anyone before. I am so glad I found her and will continue to use her services because I know Ollie and Bash will be well taken care of.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Margarita was so wonderful from beginning to end of the booking! She was so excited and kind to watch our pups for my sister’s wedding! The request was definitely not your everyday occurrence and she was so kind to be willing to work with us! Thank you so much for watching our babies- it was so nice to have peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of! thank you ❤️”
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 4 yrs olds with my first pet bunny/guinea pig/parakeets/ and have always had atleast 4 dogs in my home at all times. All of our dogs have lived to be 17-18 yrs old (we like to say they all live long because they don’t want to leave us) before they passed and had to have special care in their senior era. I’ve been caring for my sweet dogs my whole life and absolutely love all animals. I treat my dogs as if they were my babies and spoil them to death. I work from home as a lash tech and have a flexible schedule so I am able to make my own schedule weekly making drops in and overnight easily accessible. If I am taking care of your pet I will treat them as my own! I will make sure all your requests are met and your fur baby is safe and cared for as well as loved.
About: I've had my own pets for 15 years, but I've always grown up with animals. Mostly all cats my whole life, but last year I adopted a puppy. I love seeing the difference between the two species. I love having pets and taking care of them. I'm very open right now and not working a full time job. I have lots of time for all the fur babies. It's very exciting. And my rates are low for a reason. I never want money to be the reason to not do something. I am very respectful of my clients space and possessions. I will always respect any requests given. I will communicate any problems that should occur.
About: Growing up we always had animals. I currently have a Great Dane. Very active with him. Lots of walks and cuddles. He’s very friendly, if pets stayed in the home with us. I do work full time but I have a flexible schedule. Mondays and Fridays I have the least flexibility I am still able to do 2 drop in visits on those days. Early morning and after 8pm. Please get with me on specific times if needed thank you! I have a Great Dane who is very friendly and will keep your dog company all day. I’m pretty flexible and can make sure to tend to your dogs normal schedule
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Brooke was absolutely fantastic with our older dog, Maya, while we were out of the country. She really put our minds at ease with her care and attention! Maya can be a little stubborn about going outside since her eyesight isn’t what it used to be, but Brooke was so patient and gentle with her. It didn’t take long before Maya had made a new best friend! We loved receiving Brooke’s detailed updates and photos. It was so comforting to see how well Maya was doing. On top of that, she left the house spotless, even vacuuming and washing the sheets! Maya truly enjoyed her company, and we will definitely be booking with Brooke again. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
About: I offer dog sitting for rescues of all ages and farm pets, and I’ve been around dogs since birth, with friends and family always trusting me to care for their pets. With school ending, I’ll be available for pet care all summer from 10 AM to 8 PM. I work mostly weekdays, but I’m also able to cover some weekends when needed to keep pets on their routine and well cared for. In my client’s home, I keep each pet’s routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and I’m patient with rescues, seniors, and puppies. I’ve had dogs since birth, and friends and family have always trusted me with their pets, so I will bring that same dependable care to every home I enter.
“Taylor was great! She was very communicative and our dogs loved having her! She sent pictures of her visit which gave us huge peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old, we’ve had them in the home growing up. I previously walked dogs and have been a sitter as well. I am available anything, to watch any fur babies. I don’t mind clearing my schedule for them. It would be a honor to do that. I can easily create your dog if that’s your preference, I have a gated back yard with high fences so your big fury babies are welcomed as well.
“Carly is a godsend!! Very knowledgeable and loving with our cats and dogs. All babies were happy and house well cared for. We could not have asked for more! Will definitely use her in the future :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrell on Rover is $38.85 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 1,851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrell. 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 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Terrell. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
