Taylor is incredible. We had HVAC issues while she was house sitting, and she was SO gracious and communicative. She even made sure to rearrange her plans to make sure our HVAC repair tech could check on things. Also, we get so many updates and pictures. As someone who is also a pet sitter and has been on Rover as both a sitter and pet parent since 2016, I can confidently say that Taylor is among the best.

Toni did a great job dog/house sitting for me. She was very communicative and sent daily updates. My 2 girls, who are leery of strangers at first, warmed up to her quickly.

About: I have two dogs of my own and I love them both so much! I volunteered at a local dog shelter, where I gained hands on experience working with dogs of all sizes! I have taken care of smaller dogs, bigger dogs, and older dogs before. No matter the size I’m happy to help! I am a college student, so my schedule is flexible -which ensures plenty of time to take care of your little ones! I usually take my dogs for a walk every morning/evening and if you need me too I’d love to do it for yours as well! I understand the stress of leaving your furry friend with strangers. I have always been an animal lover and would gladly show your little ones some love! I will treat your home like it is my own- with respect and care. When I have someone else’s animal in my care I treat them like my own -as part of my family, as I hope anyone else would do for mine!

About: As a retired veteran, I'm dependable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'm patient with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and senior pets who may require a slower pace and extra care. I understand that every animal has a unique routine, and I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and regular updates throughout each visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As i am retired, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet without feeling rushed. I can easily work around a pet's feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule while making sure they get the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to every day I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each owner's care instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

Words can’t even begin to express how great Tamara is. We left her with our sweet, very energetic, large and in charge pup! She took the time to send me pics and updates throughout her stay at our home and was very responsive throughout our vacation. Our home and our pup were in very good hands. She even left us some goodies upon our return! I truly can’t thank her enough.

They are apart of it every day and all day, and I wouldn’t change that for the world! It truly fills my heart and gives my life purpose caring for animals.

About: ❗️If your house has any signs of fleas, do not book with me.❗️I have always grown up with pets in my house hold, i have always token care of them when no one else did and gave them the love they deserve. We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Deven as our pet and house sitter! From the start, she showed incredible reliability and consideration for both our dogs and home. She was very gentle and kind with our animals, never kept the dogs in their crates for too long ,and consistently communicated if she needed to be away. One of our cats is older (17+) and one of our dogs is a rescue with high anxiety and they both loved her and her energy! Adhering to special feeding instructions and even taking care of our robot vacuum, she demonstrated a high level of attention to detail. Frequent updates, complete with adorable photos, kept us reassured and connected while away. Her flexibility and adaptability were evident, handling unexpected changes and challenges seamlessly. The house was wonderfully maintained and she even took out the trash for us! We can't emphasize enough how satisfied we were with her service; she went above and beyond. Without hesitation, we would recommend her to friends and family. A five-star experience all around!"

About: I have 1 to 1½ years of experience working in veterinary and kennel environments, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands when you’re away. I have two dogs of my own, and I would treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I know it can be stressful when you’re traveling, working long hours, or simply need an extra set of hands to help care for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and will soon be attending school part-time as well. Despite my schedule, I have flexibility throughout the week and am fully available on weekends. I understand that pet owners often need reliable care while working, traveling, or managing busy schedules, and I am committed to providing dependable care when you need an extra helping hand Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is very important to me. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and care so they can feel secure while their owners are away. To help build trust and ensure the best experience for everyone, I prefer to meet your dog before the first walk or pet-sitting visit. This allows me to get to know their personality, routine, and comfort level, while also helping your pet become familiar with me. Every dog is different, and taking the time to establish trust beforehand helps create a safe and positive environment for both your pet and myself.

About: I’ve cared for multi-diverse manner dogs for 15+ years. I have experience and certification in behavior therapy. So I understand motivation, reinforcement, and attending to differing array of expressed behaviors, as-well as creating behavior interventions plans to train for appropriate/desired behaviors for clients. I’m a voice actor, so my schedule is as I dictate it to be. I’ve got commitments, however I’ve got loads of freedom to attend to dogs full-time. It’s a true joy. When I render services I’d like you to consider your lovely pet on a holiday surrounded by private security. They will be safe in my fenced neighborhood, I will be present and interactive, and will bring so much fun they’ll be bouncing to come back. All my family and friends love pets and show much affection. My place will be an extension of your family — if you’ll have us.

About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tiki Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Tiki Island on Rover is $29.42 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 589 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tiki Island. 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 Tiki Island 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 Tiki Island 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 Tiki Island 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 Tiki Island. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
