About: Dog rescue, training and behavioral evaluation, breeding and showing, in-home and at my home pet sitting, I am a member of the Great Dane Club of America in good standing, all my breedings are AKC registered and health tested. I specialize in giant breeds but work with all breeds, ages, and sizes. Previous memberships/training: APDT, Tuft's Behavioral Assessment Training, AKC, GDCA, private seminars and training classes for animal behavior and training, canine/feline CPR and First Aid, natural and holistic veterinary medicine, biologically appropriate diet nutrition. Even while recovering from spinal surgery, I still welcomed overnight visitors! I have experience with a variety of animals including chickens, horses, birds, rabbits, gerbils/hamsters, fish, etc. All bookings are first come, first serve. Holidays are high demand and it is suggested to book well in advance. You can get more info at crittersitter.co.site. Each client need is different: I have crates and gates in my home if needed, dog beds galore, a toy chest, 6 foot fenced yard, wooded trails/nature preserve across the street, 2 chicken coops and a netted chicken area. Purified water is always available. Homemade dog treats are made fresh (client permitting) and dog bed linens are sanitized for each sit. When sitting in my home I will rarely be gone longer than 2 hours, if at all. First aid and medical equipment is on site. In a client's home I will be there as required by the client and am very detail oriented. Every pet is cared for as if it is my own.

About: I've taken care of many breeds large and small for my friends and family over the last 20 years. Patience and calming demeanor are key to establishing trust with our fur babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so my job would not impede on caring for your pet and making sure they are getting enough attention. I currently have two golden doodles that are well mannered and socialized with other dogs. They are shared between my home and their Mom's so they aren't always with me. We're accustomed to multiple walks throughout the day and visit a dog park most days during the week.

“Angela is a friendly and caring dog sitter. She is able to work with our dogs who have lots of energy and who can be nervous around new people. She is a true animal lover. Her willingness to accommodate last minute bookings has been incredibly helpful. We will continue to use her for our pups!”

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

About: I have always pet-sat or stopped over at friends and families houses to be with their pets when they can’t. I also had 2 dogs of my own which has provided me with experience with both large and small dogs. Trying to help others now! I am a full-time registered nurse which means I work 3-4 12 hour shifts a week. Looking to hangout with pets on my off days! I have been a sitter for both children and animals for years, I definitely understand the respect and trust required between sitter and owner/family member.

“Courtney was fabulous! I was a nervous dog mommy, leaving our new family pet for the first time. Courtney did a great job of taking care of him, and reassuring me along the way. She regularly texted updates, so I knew he was doing well and getting what he needed while we were gone. She was always quick to respond if I had a question too. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I cared for the family dog for 5 years, she was 7 when we rescued her after a breeder no longer wanted her. We wanted to give her the best years for her retirement. I then opened my home to fostering dogs a year later, to give another pup the chance to learn and experience the joys of being a family dog. I have since fostered a handful of different dogs ranging from a 3 month old puppy to a prospective agility dog, as well as a 65lb gentle giant. Whether it’s taking it slow with your senior pup or multiple daily walks/enrichment for your high drive bestie, I can do it all! Available day and night. Your pup, if crate trained, would be alone for a maximum of 3-hours, when needed. If not crate trained a secure room will be utilized in emergencies for a maximum of 1-hour. I have multiple sized crates both soft and metal. If your pup is house trained free roaming will always be allowed. If your dog has trouble acclimating and/or is not house trained, a play pen or crate may be utilized to minimize clean up from accidents. Sleeping on the bed is preferred for me, but I respect boundaries and/or crate training if needed. Dogs are never allowed off leash when outdoors, for their security and mine. Located on a quiet street with a backyard. Access to parks and trails within 20 minutes for more active dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of small-medium dogs short-term and long-term. Friends and family know my love for dogs and always call me for dog sitting. I want to get one of my own soon! I’m currently working from home and have lots of flexibility. I also love to go on short and long walks myself and would love to help someone out and walk a pet while I go for my walks! After pet sitting in the past, I’ve been told I did a wonderful job and that their pet loved being with me. I offer a fun and caring environment, follow schedule as provided, and go out for many walks. I’ve usually done sitting at the clients home so the pet is most comfortable in its own home.

About: Hi! I’m Kari, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two Australian Shepherds. 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a natural love for animals, so caring for pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m active, dependable, and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also very comfortable with high-energy dogs and enjoy keeping active pups entertained and exercised! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. ❤️ I work part-time so I can offer plenty of playtime to your furry friends! Overnights - available Friday-Sunday Any other service - any time Sat, Sun & Monday or after 3pm Tuesday-Friday. I will do whatever you prefer to ensure your cat/dog is safe & comfortable. I can crate them if necessary or secure them in a specific location in the house as well.

Cheyenne is the absolute BEST sitter we have ever used. She is always on time, sends lots of pictures, and leaves detailed reviews of what took place during the visit. Our Emma adores her, and we have the piece of mind that she’s in the best hands while we are away.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Terryville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Terryville is $25 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,527 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Terryville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Terryville 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Terryville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Terryville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
