“Eva was wonderful! We had a relatively last minute request and I’m so thankful to have found her! She is incredibly professional, scheduling a FaceTime call ahead of time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure we’re on the same page. During the stay, she was so sweet and took great care of our fur baby. She is also extremely commutative, sharing thorough daily updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her and already looking forward to working with her again!”
“Ariel was great with Gemma for the long weekend I was away. She even stayed longer on the last day when my flight was delayed. I hope she will watch Gemma all the time!”
“11 out of 10. Ashley is an incredible dog and house sitter. She took amazing care of our senior pup and left our home better than she found it! What a dream to come home to a happy and clean pup in a house that was cleaner than we left it!”
About: Growing up I always had dogs and would constantly watch dogs 101 and vet shows. I learned their language to better connect with them especially if they have anxiety. Right now I am raising 3 cats and caring for my elderly dog who has seizures so I know how to handle a situation when it come to it along with schedule medications. My dog also only chooses me to cuddle with during thunderstorms so if your pup has a fear of storms while you're gone you can rest assure I'm making them feel as safe as possible. I have pretty big gaps between my day schedule, between school and work. I have time for morning, afternoon and night visits. I usually get out of work 830 the latest so medication will be able to be given before too late in the night In the client's home I would normally make sure I can see their pet at all times to guarantee no accidents happen on my watch. I also depending on the breed and personality of the dog will walk them or give them enrichment more often as needed.
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Sophia was a huge help watching our dogs for the second time while we were on our honeymoon. Unfortunately, my dog Blue got sprayed by a skunk while we were gone but Sophia made us feel much more at peace. She immediately notified us of the situation, took Blue to the vet, and bathed her. We were very grateful!”
“Wow! Can’t say enough good things about Bailey. One of our dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes and she was experienced with that easing my mind while I was on vacation! She kept me updated providing some cute pictures and was super easy to communicate with!!! All my fur babies fell in love with her! Can’t wait to book her again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. I am a dog mom of 3 and ready to share the love. I house trained my pups and taught them fun tricks. I even make them special treats because they deserve the best. I work full-time M-F however I have access to my home throughout the day, every 2 hours and I am available on the weekends. I also have a significant other that will be around to assist with care when needed. Your fur baby will be in great hands with us. My pets are my children, I care for them with love always. I will provide that same care for your fur baby as well. I have a large yard for your fur babies to do zoomies. I take my dogs to the dog park biweekly and I’d be more than happy to have your pups join. Any instructions or special situations you request for your fur baby will always be followed and never judged or neglected. We are an animal loving home and will treat your fur babies as if they are our own when they are with us.
About: Raised animals with lots of love most of life. Puppies all the way to seniors. My last two senior fur babies crossed the rainbow bridge recently so I am missing that thing only an animal could provide! Can't wait to be "walking on sunshine" with your babies! Being semi-retired, I have tons of free time to care for your sweet fur babies. I am available through the week, weekends and/or holidays. Love being with animals Right now, I am available for sitting in clients home only. Lots of love and cuddles, along with following any specific instructions to care for each pet
“Wow! Gisselle is an Angel. She stayed with my senior dog. She stayed In touch with me with daily pictures and text. I came home to a clean apartment and a happy dog.”
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I think I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.
“Tory has been such a blessing to our family. She kept in touch while we were gone with fun updates and gave our pets perfect care. We are excited to have her back and value her service. We highly recommend her.”

About: I genuinely treat every dog like my best friend. Full of the upmost love, care, and fun. Your pup isn’t just a pet, they’re family! As a college student with online classes, I love spending my free time with dogs. I have two beautiful huskies of my own back home, so caring for new pups brings me joy every day. I provide personalized care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I feed, walk, and play with dogs according to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I also many send updates, photos, and videos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving and reliable care. ❤️🐶 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and now that my child has started pre-K, I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for daytime drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and boarding. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if requested. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions carefully, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Turtle Bayou on Rover is $35.32 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Turtle Bayou. 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 Turtle Bayou 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 Turtle Bayou 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 Turtle Bayou 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 Turtle Bayou. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
