“My fur babies absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone they bonded with so quickly. She kept me updated and I came home to very happy pets. Highly recommend!”

“Amy was phenomenal dealing with our many animals and our home. She is kind, caring, and thoughtful. All of my animals were extremely comfortable with her and I felt confident going on vacation with them in her care.”

“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”

“Torrie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. We have one dog with special-needs that actually ended up having some stomach issues and she handled it very well and took great care of him. He also has several different medications he has to take and at certain times and she was great with staying on his medication schedule and really spending a lot of time with both dogs and making sure they were happy and healthy. Our house also was very clean and well cared for while we were gone. This is the first time we’ve been able to go out of town since our dog was diagnosed with epilepsy so we now feel like we can actually take vacations and not worry about our dog when we’re not at home caring for him ourselves. I highly recommend Torrie for caring for your fur babies!”

“Magee formed a quick bond with our dog, Clark and made sure he enjoyed the long weekend while we were out of town! She was communicative, proactive, and had great follow up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I would highly recommend Michelle. Michelle took care of both of my dogs over the weekend, and she did an excellent job. They were happy and well cared for when I returned.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the dependable, loving care I bring to every pet I meet. I grew up showing livestock, so being around animals, from dogs and cats to livestock, has always been second nature to me. That upbringing taught me responsibility, patience, and how to tune into what animals need, even when they can't say it out loud. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, whether it's helping with puppy training, giving extra love to senior dogs, or just making sure your pup sticks to their routine while you're away. I'm also super communicative and always happy to send updates and photos. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like family, with tons of love, respect, and tail-wagging fun. I am a graduate from Texas A&M and I have free time on weekends to walk, feed, and check up on dogs. I am not allowed to have any animals at my house so this gives me the chance to give all of my love that I have for animals and help someone that is needing a sitter. Growing up I was around my dogs everyday. I went on walks with them, played and trained them and even took them to get pup cups. I would give pets my undivided attention when I am taking care of them and will treat them as if they were my own.
“Tania was a great dog sitter! She provided plenty of updates/pictures of the dogs! She watched my two Great Danes and left the house so tidy! I would hire her again, and y’all should too.”

“We couldn't be happier with the overnight care Louann provided for our dog. Being new to town and nervous about onboarding someone new, she proved to be reliable, communicative, and flexible when our plans had to change last minute. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. We have already booked with her again and highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routines so they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s personality and energy level, making sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility during the day for drop-in visits and check-ins. I’m fully available after 4:30 on weekdays. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I can offer complete care during Saturday and Sunday. I follow care instructions closely, keep homes tidy, and make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for. I’m respectful of your space and will always communicate updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Kensington took great care of our sweet Penny girl. We just recused her so we were nervous about leaving her for the first time, but we felt comfortable leaving her with Kensington and knew she was given lots of love. We will definitely use Kensington again!”

“Alexa always does a great job! She is excellent at communication and always keeps me updated while we’re away. My dog and very shy cat adore her, and I appreciate how reliable she is!”

“I can’t say enough good things about June. I haven’t left my cat, who I consider my baby, alone in over two years. She’s become very attached to me lately so I was a bit anxious with leaving her with anyone. Before committing, I met with June and after a good meeting, my fears were completely gone. I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my Baba. June is a very responsible and caring person. She sent photos my cat daily and I could clearly see that my cat did NOT miss me. LOL. When I returned home, my house was better than when I left. Spotless and she even changed the sheets, washed them and made the bed. An added bonus, she knew exactly when I would be home and had the garage door open so all I had to do was pull in. I couldn’t have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend her to take care of your pet. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”

About: Hi! My name is Lex, and I've been pet sitting since I was 19 years old. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's personality. I've been lucky enough to have some of the same clients for over three years, which means a lot to me because it shows the trust we've built. I've also volunteered working with animals, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of pets, different temperaments, and different care needs. Big dogs, little dogs, cats, senior pets, shy pets, energetic pets—it doesn't matter to me. I honestly love them all! I'm currently in nursing school, so being responsible, patient, and paying attention to the little details comes naturally to me. Right now, I have a flexible schedule and open availability, so I'm happy to work around what you and your pet need. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm currently in nursing school, which gives me a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping pets company. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're already used to because I know that helps them feel the most comfortable. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, give them plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles (depending on what they enjoy), and make sure they get lots of attention. I'm happy to give medications if needed, clean litter boxes, pick up after dogs, and keep everything clean and tidy. I also like to send photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as stress-free as possible until you're back home.
“Nikki was fantastic with our three dogs! Oreo, Maggie, and Dillon all warmed up to her quickly and were happy and relaxed the entire time she was with them. She followed our instructions carefully, kept us updated with photos and messages, and treated the house with care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Nikki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter who really connects with dogs. Thank you, Nikki!”

“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”

“Connor did a great job in getting Bella comfortable with him for his first sit. He sent photos daily, promptly answered my messages and left the house in excellent condition. I will use his service again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tioga on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,095 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tioga. 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 Tioga 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 Tioga 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 Tioga 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 Tioga. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
