“Mackenzie was amazing with my 2 anxious Shiba Inus. She took her time to get to know them and they loved here. Mackenzie was communicative and did exactly what she said she would. I would definitely recommend booking her for your pets!”
“THIS IS BIG! ROCCO LOVES CAITLIN :D! We threw EVERY spoiled little bratdog curveball at Caitlin and she delivered excellent poochy care with each loving pet, hug and cookie! (Truly, Schnoz was likely a cat in a previous life and is disgusted by all humans' inadequacies.) Caitlin spent three (probably long days) in our home with our moody little knucklehead .. and with us popping in and out. We were all a handful! Caitlin was prompt, caring, detail-oriented and devoted to Rocco having a bestest time ever while Mom & Dad were gallivanting around Funk Fest without him. (He even got to stop at his beloved Golden Lantern where all of the bartenders have finally earned their keys to his heart.) Our happiest moment was when Caitlyn sent over a picture of Rocco ALLOWING her to snuggle him. NO SMALL FEAT! Caitlin, you're a GODDESS, and we're thrilled to have found you! (Rocco is, too, even though he'll never admit it.) See you soon! :D”

“Chloe is the best. I had a change in plans and had to extend my trip and she agreed to stay longer with my babies. I never worried once about them. Amazing sitter!!”
“Sage was very caring and attentive to our two rescue dogs. He sent text and photo updates daily, gave meds and food on a schedule, and gave them lots of love. This was the second time he watched our dogs at our home, and he will be the first dogsitter we contact for future housesits!”
“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”
“Absolutely amazing and very professional. Great communication and left my house in amazing shape. My dogs where very well taken care of and she was an absolute amazing sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I usually watch just one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

About: I've had dogs all of my adult life. I had 6 at one time and now have 2 Chihuahuas who I adore. I love all pets and want to be your pups best friend. I regularly pet sit for my 2 kids' dogs (Frenchie, Australian shepherd and golden doodle). I've also pet sat at a good friend's house for her 3 pups and brought my 2 also. I am retired so I have a lot of free time. I can walk or visit your pups regularly. My schedule is very flexible. I can help out at any time. I have a fenced yard and it is secure. My pups can't get out and they get along with all dogs. My pups are treated like the king and queen they are.
About: I’ve been a mom to beagle, schnauzer, Siamese cats and a sweet parakeet for over 5 years. Pets are like family. They are supposed to be nurtured and loved. I am free in the summertime. During the school year I am available on weekends and after 4:30 pm during the workweek. And most holidays. I will walk and feed your pet. I can take care of your dog in your home. I’m listening and excited to meet your furbaby.
About: I’ve cared for and grown up around more animals than I can count. I love showing fur babies the love they deserve and there’s nothing more rewarding than receiving it back in return. I believe animals can truly be medicinal and can better a person’s mood and outlook on life. They are our best friends and we are their lives. Flexible availability; I can provide dog walks, grooming, feeding, daytime & overnight sitting, cuddles, and even just a pop-in. I’m free mornings, day, and night and open to ongoing long-term schedules if things happen to work out that way. I have a big fenced in backyard, but most of my time with pups is spent on hikes or long walks outdoors. I do have a medium sized, super friendly husky, if your pupper feels uncomfortable around other dogs though, my husky baby loves spending time at my sister’s house and would be happy to accompany her while I care for your fur baby. I’m extremely active but can also just hang out and offer an easy-going light day or night with your pet.
About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re my own, you’ve come to the right place! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to energetic large breeds and lovable little companions. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I even volunteered with an SPCA camp for several days and still enjoy spending some of my free time around animals whenever I can. Being able to care for pets brings me so much joy, and knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away means everything to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to a male Yorkie and a female Toy Poodle, so I understand the patience, attention, and daily care that pets need to thrive. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. When your pet is with me, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized care. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and secure. pet care can always fit into my daily routine! I work 4am-12pm but i’m always available after those times i’m a very flexible person and always free Sunday’s and Mondays! I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep the home clean, send regular photo updates, and make sure pets are safe! I’ll stay close to my phone incase of emergencies and i’ll make sure your pet is loved and cared for!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrytown
Chloe was an excellent house sitter and took wonderful care of both our home and our dog while we were away. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog, and it was clear that Chloe treated both with care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
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!
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!!
I can’t recommend Wendy highly enough. She took care of my dog Fenn for 7 days at my house. She is very responsive and sends photos and videos (in which my dog is grinning ear to ear) everyday. She handles the meds well and even watered the garden. She has a very sweet low key personality so animals love her. I will definitely be using her again soon.
Will went above and beyond to make my cat (and me) feel comfortable during her first week alone. Our cat is very play motivated and Will ensured that she was fully entertained with ample play time and pets throughout the sitting. Will sent both pictures and videos and it was clear our cat was having a wonderful time. It was comforting to know I didn't need to worry about her while I was away. We will definitely be using Will again for future trips whenever possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Terrytown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terrytown on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 763 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 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 Terrytown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
