I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!

Gracie always does a great job! She gets to know all of our pups personalities and makes sure they’re happy. They’ll pups enjoy their “vacation” as much as we enjoy ours!

About: I take care of pets for family when they need it and have experience caring for older pets, puppies, and those with special care instructions. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can take time to walk dogs during the day. I’m most available during the weekend and after 5 pm for over night boarding, but can potentially accommodate other schedules. I have no pets, so my home is perfect for less friendly pets. Crates will need to provided if they are needed for your pet, but I’m willing to keep up with their routine.

Kelly is fantastic! Our puppy had so many great walks and was well taken care of by her. The cat was happy too! (I mean as happy as a cat can be…) Our house was neat as a pin and she was extremely responsive and absolutely wonderful! We will call on her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ava was fantastic. She took incredible care of our two dogs as well as our house. Its cleaner then when we left! She is very knowledgable about dog behavior and also very calm. She was wonderful about sending texts and videos while we were away which makes being on vacation so much easier - I highly recommend!

About: I love dogs and have cared for my own dogs, family pets and friend’s pets, my whole life. I currently have several happy clients in my area and I am looking to expand my business.

I love to give belly rubs and snuggles. I can administer medications and currently provide occasional care for a senior dog that is deaf and mostly blind. I am happy to include pet care for other pets on-site, when appropriate; cats, fish, ferrets, parrots, lizards, rabbits, etc. Relax and let me help you with your dog!

Taylor was great! My cat, Stanley, really seemed to connect with her and was his normal, happy self when I got home from a week-long vacation. Normally, he gets depressed and won’t eat while I’m gone but that wasn’t the case this time, it’s obvious Taylor gave him the TLC he needed while I was away since he is such a social and playful cat. I received daily updates and photos while I was away, and Taylor also left my apartment in great condition. I’ve already re-booked Taylor for another stay for an upcoming trip out of town and am so grateful to have found a sitter that my cat genuinely seems to enjoy! Definitely recommend!

About: As a dedicated pet owner caring for my two dogs Grayson (Beagle) and Maggie (Cocker Spaniel). I manage their daily routines, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and health needs. Through my experience I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, safety, and care, as well as skills in providing consistent, loving care. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and warmth to every pet I care for. Additionally, I’ve spent the past two years walking my neighbors’ dogs, which has given me experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide pet care at times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended sitting, I can adapt to your schedule to ensure your pets receive consistent, loving attention whenever needed. Let’s work together to create a care plan that fits seamlessly with your needs! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in their homes. I treat each home and pet with the same respect and attention I would my own, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and favorite spots, helping them feel relaxed and happy in their familiar surroundings. I’m committed to open communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover. I grew up with a household full of animals, and was constantly bringing more home. In high school I spent two years in a veterinary science technical program where I learned husbandry, basic first aid, training, etc. I have experience working with animals of all life stages, and care requirements. I can administer medication, and even have worked with diabetic kitties (my cat Leo is a diabetic himself). I am a full time college student. Currently on break for the summer. My schedule is very flexible, and I can dedicate lots of time and attention to your pets! I treat all client's homes with respect. I am tidy, and am mindful to leave the home exactly as I found it. I am able to water plants as well!

About: I have two pups of my own including one who is very high strung. new to the world of pet sitting but always eager and willing to learn! in my day to day job, i work as a RN but have a special place in my heart for animals. I work 4 days a week as an RN but that means my daily availability fluctuates each week to help provide the best care for your pets. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own and so will your home. Please know that respect is my utmost concern when offering any services and is guaranteed.

About: I grew up on a small farm raising a variety of animals including dogs and cats. Sometimes what seems to be a mean animal is just a misunderstood animal that need extra time and attention and love. I have a pretty open schedule and would like to build relationships with animals and fellow animal lovers alike. Right now I only do other low commitment jobs like DoorDash and have time to fit you into my schedule. This is kind of a good and bad thing about me but I love an animal that loves food, and I enjoy rewarding them with treats for good behavior. I promise not to fatten up your pets too much though.

FAQs for House Sitting - Terrys Fork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 362 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrys Fork. 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 Terrys Fork 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 Terrys Fork 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 Terrys Fork 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 Terrys Fork. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
