Brooke was amazing! She took such great care of our two very hyper corgis. She sent lots of updates with photos and thorough recaps of each day. We will absolutely be using her again.

She was great with our pups. One fairly energetic, but in need of calm because he was recovering from knee surgery, and the other a 17 year old diva who is mostly blind and mostly deaf. Will definitely book again.

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old. Our family has always had at least 2 to care for a time. When I’m sitting, I make sure we get ample time in the sun. We have a yard in our complex where neighborhood dogs like to play. I also like to take them to this quiet neighborhood across the street to get a nice long walk in. I’m always keeping dog treats around and have some toys for them as well. And I always like to get a few questions answers from owners, in the beginning, to make sure they’ll have everything they need. Are they okay around other dogs? Do they have special dietary needs or medications? Is there anything that discomforts them that I should be avoiding? Every dog is different and I want your pup to be as happy and comfy as possible in his/her time with me. I walk dogs almost 7 days a week depending on that given week. I’m most busy during the midday period, but have sale flexibility in the morning and late afternoon. I want to make sure firstly that the dog is engaged and active, I try to change up our routine as often as possible, to keep them experiencing something new while keeping in mind weather factors and the dog’s stamina.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have spent several years caring for dogs and other pets for friends and family. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm happy to care for most small pets as well. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away! I currently work part-time, so I'm available after 3 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The rest of the week, I have plenty of availability for daytime, evenings, and weekends. I keep my calendar updated, so you can always see my most current availability before booking. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away.

About: What sets me apart is my background as a nurse and my lifelong experience caring for animals. I've been around pets since I was 4 years old and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. As a dog owner myself, I'm comfortable caring for puppies, active dogs, and senior pets. I'm reliable, safety-focused, and will treat your pet like family while providing updates and plenty of love and attention during every visit. Hi! I'm a nurse who loves spending my days off with animals. I've been caring for animals since I was 4 years old and have had dogs my entire life. Caring for others is a big part of who I am, and that extends to pets as well. I'm an early riser, enjoy routines, and understand how important consistency is for keeping pets happy and comfortable. I also love staying active through walking and working out, so I'm always happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Whether it's a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more energetic walk, I'll make sure your pet gets the activity they need. My nursing schedule varies, which gives me flexibility and availability for drop-in visits throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help. I look forward to treating your pets like they're part of my own family! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I'll keep them safe and fed in your house while making sure they get there exercise! I'm a huge walker!

About: I have 7+ years experience with my moody fur baby. and have been actively sitting for my friend's dogs and cats. Its just me and my baby at home so your special one will get ample amount of love and attention. I am available at home 24hrs on Monday & Tuesday. (And occasionally on weekends) For any other days i am available only after 8PM . My own baby is very moody and requires a lot of attention .But i have trained her well. Pets have full freedom in my house and i allow them on my furnitures too. There have been times where my baby only ate when i fed her from my hand. Its the same feeling i get when I feed babies. That sense of motherly love is what I like to give to all fur babies too.

Brooke did an awesome job taking care of our dog while we were away. This is the first time we’ve come back from a trip in the past few years and our dog has not been super stressed and clingy. Brooke was also very professional throughout the process and took great care of our house. She will definitely be our first choice for a sitter the next time we go away.

This was our first time using Rover and to have someone stay at our home so safe to say we were a little apprehension. Our initial meeting with Cori really put us at ease. Cori quickly became besties with our younger, somewhat skiddish pup and our older pooch settled right in. She kept us updated and let us know if there were any issues. We'd highly recommend Cori and would certainly use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Towaco

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 18,025 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Towaco. 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 Towaco 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 Towaco 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 Towaco 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 Towaco. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
