“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”

“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”

About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.

About: I've volunteered at animal shelters along with having my own family pets. I am used to bigger breeds of dogs but I do adore smaller breeds as well. I’ve trained my own dog! Currently I can do a daily or weekly routine! If things were to change I would let people know a week ahead of time along with prioritizing clients and working my schedule around them! First thing I do when I’m taking care of my or anyone’s dog is to take them outside and then refresh their water bowl.

“Thank you so much, Adam!! This was our first time using a service like this and we were so hesitant. Adam made us feel at ease leaving our fur babies with someone else. He sent us videos and pictures everyday. Our cats typically hide in the presence of someone other than us but he sent us photos of them coming out and relaxing with him and the puppers. His schedule fit perfectly for us and he was so flexible. He respected our home and loved on our fur babies, that is all we can ask for. Thank you so much again, we will definitely have Adam on speed dial whenever we need a sitter in the future!!”

About: ⭐️ Pet sitting professionally since 2016 ⭐️ Experience with dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles and open to all kinds of new fuzzy & scaley friends! ⭐️ Detailed updates and lots of photos ⭐️ Reliable communication and flexible schedule I love what I do and take pride in the quality care I provide my clients and their pets. I always make sure to keep an open line of communication, and fill out the Rover card thoroughly, so you have all the information possible about how your pet is doing while you’re away! ✨️DROP-IN CARE:✨️ Tailored care for your pet including food, water, potty breaks, oral medications, and as much love and play time as they are comfortable with! Drop Ins can be scheduled anytime between the hours of 7am and 8pm. My service radius is 15 minutes from my home, located near Camp Bow Wow. I do my best to try to create a bond with your pet(s) while you’re away to earn their trust and help them enjoy our visits a little bit more. The first few visits will likely begin with some treats just to get a little more acquainted. If your pet has any allergies or sensitive tummy issues, please let me know! If there are any other expectations when I stop by, feel free to ask so I can confirm those services. For safety and comfort, I do require a Meet and Greet to be completed before every new client’s booking begins. After our Meet and Greet, I will send you a link to my LinkTree where you can access my Drop In Questionnaire. It will cover most things we talk about during the Meet and Greet, along with some extras like emergency contact info, and photo release so I can use my favorite photos for my Rover Instagram if you’re comfortable with that! ✨HOUSE SITTING:✨ During house sitting stays, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of affection. In addition to caring for your pets, I can also help with basic home care tasks such as bringing in mail or packages, watering plants, taking out trash bins, or other small household tasks. If there is something else you would like done while you are away, feel free to ask so I can confirm those services. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your trip so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Every booking includes daily updates and overnight care from approximately 9pm–6am, along with daytime visits and plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. Because I maintain an active pet sitting business and family schedule, I may occasionally leave the home for drop-in visits, errands, appointments, or other obligations. If your pet has specific companionship needs or limitations on how long they can be left alone, please let me know so we can determine if we're a good fit. You may notice my profile says "Brenda & Skyler." Rover originally required Skyler to be added to my profile when I offered in-home boarding. While he remains listed on the account, I personally complete all drop-in visits, housesitting services and client communication. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! If you’d like to follow our adventures on Instagram, Facebook or Tik Tok, you can find all our Rover social media links here: linktree. com/roverwithbrendag I am a stay at home mom to teens, so I'm not tied down to nap schedules anymore. 😉 I have an open schedule that allows for lots of flexibility! Safety is my number one priority. During visits, I always make sure to watch my feet, especially while going in or out of exterior doors, and make sure to stick to your house rules to ensure pets safety. For example, I cared for a cat who liked to eat plastic bags, so I followed their house rule to put away all plastic bags in the closet after I was done scooping the litter.

“Jason is a wonderful house sitter. He took amazing care of our home, our 2 dogs and pet fish. Great communication from start to finish, getting regular photos and check ins really made us feel at ease. I’ve had some nightmare pet sitter experiences in the past, and I’m thrilled to say that is all behind me. My family and I will book trips knowing we have an awesome, trusted person who treats our dogs as his own. We took a 10 day trip to see family and I didn’t spend one second worrying, it was fantastic! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. Thank you Jason!!!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, including anxious, sensitive, high-energy, senior, and medically complex pets. I’m calm, observant, and very attentive to behavioral changes, body language, and routines. I know how important consistency and emotional safety are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m also experienced with administering medications, reinforcing routines, long walks, enrichment/play, and providing patient companionship for pets who need a slower or more thoughtful approach. Cleanliness, communication, and reliability are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pets and home with care and respect. I work part-time remotely as a psychologist, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the week. Fridays through Mondays are generally my most open days for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Tuesdays through Thursdays tend to be my busier workdays, so during those days I’m best suited for overnight care, house sitting where I can work remotely from your home, or boarding/day care in my home for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work nearby. I still prioritize regular walks, enrichment, affection, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about only taking bookings I can genuinely show up well for, and I value consistency, communication, and helping pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and attentiveness are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, temperament, triggers, exercise needs, and comfort level so I can provide care that feels consistent and supportive for them. In my home, pets are always supervised carefully and kept on leash outside. I prioritize safe walks, enrichment, play, companionship, and calm structure rather than simply letting dogs loose in a yard. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral changes, and environmental safety, especially for anxious, senior, or sensitive pets. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, communicative, and mindful of maintaining the routines and environment pets are already comfortable with.

About: I connect with pets in a playful way so they have a fun and enjoyable experience, feel less lonely, and are excited and engaged during their day. I am retired and play pickleball regularly, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet while you’re away. I will visit your pet in your home, feed and play with them, give them their meds and keep them company. I will walk your dog so they can explore and engage in their surroundings.

Valerie was incredible! We have two spoiled pugs and one of them is not well mannered, barks non stop and has separation anxiety/issues. He is great with his parents but we were very concerned with having someone else watch him for 2 days. She was very patient and understanding of his needs, very punctual and communicative. We got update pictures and texts and the house was left perfectly. Would definitely rebook if we ever had another event we could not have our pups. And absolutely would recommend!! 11/10

FAQs for House Sitting - Tracyton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Tracyton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night. 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 7,527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tracyton. 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 Tracyton 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 Tracyton 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 Tracyton 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
