About: I’ve taken care of dogs every chance I’ve gotten. At my church every knows I’m up for a dog watching gig at their house or my own at any time. I really love animals :) I’m a student and tennis player at Howard Payne university home for the summer and would love the opportunity to get to know you and your dogs and have a little buddy to hang out with! My goal isn’t just to take great care of your dogs, but to give them the time of their life! Lots of cuddles, walks, and attention! I’ll feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and out to use the bathroom whenever needed of course.
“Haleigh was very concerned about our elderly dog’s health. She made sure she knew how to exactly give her medicine. She took pictures and videos and you just know she is providing excelellent care to our dog. I will definitely use her again!”
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”
“Just finished a 4 night 5 day booking with Nichole, and I can not say enough good things about the experience! Five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+++ With permission she brought her daughter, which was one more to love and care for our terribly spoiled miniature dachshunds, with lots of “ extras” Upon return, the house was immaculate, and our privacy honored. We will be using Nichole for all our future sitting needs. I highly recommend Nichole!”
About: We have had pets for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals brings me so much peace and joy, I am definitely the type of girl to pick up any dog or cat from the side of the road and take care of it!! I currently work part-time as a Licensed Esthetician. I just started in January, so my books aren’t quite as full as I need them to be, but I know that comes with time. I’m wanting to start dog/cat sitting to help me with my financial struggles and fill any extra time I have in my schedule! My dogs aren’t very sweet when it comes to meeting strangers pups, but when I’m watching puppers at clients houses I allow them to run their little tails off for a good amount of time outside (if there is a fenced in yard of course). I am definitely an outside girl so I love to just grab a book and sit outside with them, no matter the weather. If walks are needed, all I need is my Crime Junkie podcast and I’m good to go!
“Amanda took away the guilt of going away on vacation and leaving our dogs at home. It was so nice to know that they were in their favorite spots instead of being boarded. They were so well cared for, and we are so grateful!”
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our 2 pups while we took a mini vacation. She stayed with them in our home overnight and when we returned the pups were happy and the house looked fabulous. We highly recommend her as someone trustworthy to care for your pup family members.”
“UTTERLY AMAZING!!! My pup got a little sick when I was gone and suzanne took AMAZING care of him, forever thankful for you!! She even vacuumed for me! Suzanne you are a Godsend and I would 10000% trust you with my baby again, thank you so much for everything. Suzanne went above and beyond!”
About: I've spent my whole life around dogs and other animals and nothing brings me more joy than taking care of animals and seeing them happy and healthy and loved. I am currently working part-time my schedule is a little all over the place at the moment I'm working on getting it more consistent my main days off are Tuesdays and Wednesdays if you need more information feel free to contact me I love and take care of each animal as if they were my own and do my best to follow their original routines that you have had set for your animals
“Alesia was an excellent sitter. She communicated promptly, sent pics and took exceptional care of our two senior dogs. House was clean and watered plants during her stay. We highly recommend her for your dog and house sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I’m Taylor P, I’m 20 years old and have been house sitting for over a year now with two amazing clients. I care for both dogs and cats and have grown up around them my whole life. I also have two special needs cats of my own, so I’m very patient, attentive, and detail-oriented when it comes to care. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Yes, pet care fits well into my daily schedule. I balance work and school while house sitting, and I always plan my days around the pets in my care. I make sure they are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get exercise and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe. Since I have experience with special needs pets, I’m very attentive to behavior changes and comfortable giving medications or extra care if needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of sweet pups for awhile. They deserve good company (& treats;) I have two mini Aussies and they are my children, so I know exactly how i’d want them to be treated while I was gone! With my own dogs I have weekly and daily routines. I do work at the hospital once a week, so on those days routine changes. We make it work!! Walks and treats are important, as well as just being their company. While they are missing you, I will do my best to keep them occupied with lots of love and fun.
“My first time trying house sitting and Carly made me a HUGE fan. She followed all of my instructions and was so respectful of my home. She left my house exactly like I left it and even washed all of the guest bedding before she left. My dog, Echo, was so happy when I got home. She did so well with his shyness with strangers and sent me lots of updates. I will absolutely be using Carly again!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! I can bathe, walk, feed and , play with your fur baby!! I will live them as my own I am a student in college and I work part time, all of my classes are in the morning so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I will always keep an eye on the pet especially when taking them outside to go potty of taking a walk to always make sure they are safe.
“Andrea is wonderful. She doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Very comfortable with her right off the bat at the meet and greet. Sent pics and keep me posted. Definitely will use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Troup
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Troup. 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 Troup 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 Troup 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 Troup 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
