About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for several years now. I am a manager at a doggy daycare/boarding facility/grooming salon. I am knowledgeable about doggy behavior and body language. I can administer medication, with the exception of epidermal/needle syringes. I love being around dogs and getting to know their quirks and personalities. I’d be honored to take care of your pups! I am currently working full time and am available usually betweem 11am and noon on my lunch break. I am usually off of work by 2pm. I am able to host pets at my home as long as they do not have extreme cat aggression. Regardless I will limit interactions between your pet and my cat. When watching your pets at your home, I will make sure to keep my eyes and attention on them, and keep a look out for hazards.
“Justin was so great with my dog! He was communicative and attentive to her. He was also lovely to work with and I will definitely be looking to book him the next time I’m out of town!”

We love to hold and rub on them. Your babies would love running around in my big fenced in yard. I will treat your babies like my own, my friends and my kids friends always call me to watch their babies. They return clean and safe. I will make sure they go outside and eat in a timely matter. If it okay with you we will take walks and rides. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to spoil,love-on,walk and play with your furbaby. If approve Dogs will go on rides.

“Cheryl is amazing and takes excellent care of my furry children! She deserves ten out of five stars, and I would highly recommend booking any and all services with her.”
“Jan looks after my babies and my place as if they were his own. I love getting updates on his adventures with my little gang of miscreants, and the peace of mind I have knowing that my cats are safe and well-cared for is utterly priceless.”
“Janna watched my dog overnight and was great! He was very content when I arrived home and was even trying to lay in the guest bed later on that he stayed with her in. Janna left the house spotless! She has also walked my dog twice before and he always appears to be happy after her visits.”
“Cortney is great! She is considerate, timely, professional - and she clearly loves animals. She's cared for my pet as well as my brother's pets (who live a few blocks away). We all really like her!”
About: I grew up in a house, and with a mother, who always had a furry friend running around. I enjoyed this so much that I started a pet sitting company when I was 10. I cared for all types of animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). Although my 10 year old company did not continue until today, my love for animals does. I’ve fostered and watched animals and am hoping to continue to work with whatever pets and furry friends you have in your home. As a middle school teacher, the summer break strongly contrasts the school year. During the summer I am free at almost all hours of the day and am more than willing to work with you at a convenient time for both you and your pet. I am comfortable walking and crating your pet. I’m also happy to take your pet out whether it’s in the yard or along the streets and sidewalks nearby. I also have a car and am happy to take any dogs to the dog park (as long as they don’t mind a car ride).
“Ryan was great! My puppy Clyde loved the visit as he got a walk and plenty of attention. Ryan sent photos throughout the day and we were happy with the visit. Will definitely be booking Ryan in the near future. Thanks Ryan!”
About: Hi! As a dog mom of 2 and cat mom to 1, I am used to walking, feeding, and playing with fur babies. Cuddles and play time are my specialty! Whether you have a puppy or senior dog, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and treat them as if they were my own. I love to send photo updates of your fur babies so you have peace of mind that they are happy and well cared for. I’m currently taking a career break so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with your fur babies! Whether you need an extended sitter, or just a few nights while your away, I am happy to take great care of your furry family members. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I make safety and respect my top priorities. I follow all routines closely, double-check doors and gates, and keep everything clean and tidy. I’m mindful of your privacy and treat your home with care, so you can return to happy pets and a space just as you left it.
About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!
About: I've been pet-sitting, both drop-in and overnight, for dogs and cats since I was 15. I took care of my family's elderly dog for the last year of his life, and I have cared for a wide range of breeds. As a college student, I miss my pets back home (two cats), and I love all animals I encounter as if they're my own. I've administered daily medicine to several different breeds of dogs and cats. I have also watched 8-month-old through 14-year-old dogs, all with different daily needs for walks, playtime, and food. I do not have special training for puppies, but if they need a part-time friend or temporary roommate, I'm there (and also all other ages, of course). I have my own car, no allergies, and a deep love for animals! My college classes are from 9 am to 12 pm, so I am always available in the afternoons and never away for more than 3 hours at a time. I will have vacation breaks or exam days, but overall, I'm incredibly available. I care for pets like my own toddlers. They have autonomy, but don't really understand the world the same way adults do and can't use the stove. They need love, attention, and proper exercise, and that's my job. Cats and dogs are dependent on their guardian for their health, and I ensure their enjoyment and a high quality of life.
“Renee took wonderful care of our Great Dane. She even went above and beyond, buying her extra treats! We will definitely be contacting her the next time we are out of town!”
About: I specialize in one-on-one care for anxious, sensitive, and extra-affectionate pets who thrive with individualized attention. Whether your fur baby experiences separation anxiety, doesn’t do well around other animals, or simply needs extra love and reassurance, I provide a calm, comfortable home where they can feel safe and cared for. I’m a writer who works from home, lives alone, and **boards only one pet at a time.** That means no other animals, no children, and plenty of personalized attention for your baby throughout the day. Your fur baby can enjoy walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or simply having a comforting human nearby. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that time with them is as valuable to me, as it is to them. I spent four wonderful years with my sweet cat, Henry, and helped co-raise an adorable Goldendoodle, Paris, for three years before she moved away with her other pet parent. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients over the years. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your fur baby gets to be the center of attention! I’m affectionate, patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrytown
Chloe was phenomenal. My boys are two big and rowdy Dalmatians and I was worried. Chloe reassured me and was willing to do a meet and greet AND come back for night time medicine. She sent us sooo many pictures and made me feel great about leaving my boys. Will definitely call her again! Thank you Chloe!!!
Goes above and beyond you can tell she truly cares. Treated my dog like he was her own.Very intuitive with dog behavior. Moved shoes to keep the dog from eating them, this was very much appreciated. Worked with him and trained him while we were away. Made sure to include physical and mental stimulation. Gave insightful and reassuring updates it was my first time leaving him for this amount of time could not have had a better experience she’s amazing with him and an amazing sitter very professional and sweet.
We had a great experience with Mackenzie! She communicated throughout the stay, left the house clean, and took such good care of my dog. She even treated him to a pup cup, his favorite. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!
Michael is an A+ pet and house sitter! I felt completely at ease welcoming him into my home and he left it in perfect condition. I can tell the pets had a blast during his stay and he had great attention to detail when it came to instructions. Would definitely recommend him and will be booking him again!
Sarah is amazing… She walked in and could read the personalities of each one of our dogs within one minute of meeting them. She is clearly an animal lover and will take great care of your home and your pets. One of the best we’ve ever had! Thank you so much Sarah for watching our pups!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Terrytown is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $47 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.
As of November 2026, there are 769 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terrytown. 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 Terrytown 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 Terrytown 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 Terrytown 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 Terrytown. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
