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.
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.
“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 grew up always having a family dog in our house. My cousins would also have pets and, later on, My Grandparents would have pets too. It never felt right without the pitter patter of paws following you wherever you go. As I got older, I was given more responsibilities taking care of our pets. When my family goes somewhere, I'll be in charge of taking care of the dog and the house. I would even go with my cousin, when she would be pet sitting, and help her out while having fun. I would never refuse to see a cutie pie. Now I'm pet sitting for family friends too. I work from home, so it is very easy for me to get up and go. If you need me to even stay over to care for your babies, I'm open to that as well! Once I get there, I would love to have a chat with you about your home and your pet's need. Notes are recommended to give to me about important things. If not, I'll write them down for myself. Of course I will respect your belongings and follow your house rules. If I'm staying for a while, I will bring my own food, I will just need some fridge space for it. I will also clean up the spaces I use before I leave.
“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.”

“Michelle did an amazing job pet sitting/housesitting while we were gone for about 16 days. She would check in with us and send us pictures and videos and made us feel very reassured while we were gone. Even handled the chaos well when things went wrong with our water pump. Very kind and dependable and I would definitely recommend her!”


About: I’ve always been around pets , i love caring for them i think they’re the most innocent babies in the world that deserve all the love & attention. I’ve always had pets of my own & also care for my sisters animals as well. I’ve always been the go to for all the cleaning & caring. I treat every animal as i would my own, with respect. :) I have a very flexible schedule & I am able to work with most availability. Both weekdays & weekends are okay with me , just always willing to work with anything :) I have a secure back fence , plenty of inside room. I have extra dog kennels just in case. I’ll always be around to keep them company or still can offer a room for them if they’re nervous or anxious that’s not a problem & totally understandable. Anything animal related i’m there to take care of. I’ll feed them, clean their bowls , outside activities , & baths if needed. Great communication & understanding skills.
“What a great relief to have a wonderful and responsible caregiver of our dog and house! Penny loved having Gigi visiting and clearly missed Gigi when they left. We felt like we could leave and relax on vacation and not worry a bit about what was happening at home.”

About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.
“Could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Ashlee was absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was away for a week. She stayed at my house, took incredible care of everything, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was on vacation. Most importantly, she went above and beyond with my senior dog by making sure he received his medication every single day. That meant so much to me and made it so much easier to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Ashlee was also extremely responsive throughout the entire stay and sent me multiple pictures of the dogs each day. Seeing them looking so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away was honestly the best. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and wasn’t just there to do a job. She was responsible, communicative, trustworthy, and incredibly attentive—not only to my dogs but to my home as well. I came back to happy dogs and a home that was exactly as I left it. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and their home. I will absolutely be booking her again! ❤️”

To ensure your furry one safety I would like to go down what your most comfortable me doing in certain difficult situations or any other situations your most convened about I will never do anything that I wouldn’t do to my own pets or wouldn’t like others to do so communicate is key 🔑
About: I’ve been caring for pets through house sitting (several platforms) and personal referrals for over 3 years, including dogs and cats with a variety of needs and personalities including medication distribution. I’m experienced with overnight stays, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and providing a calm, consistent environment while owners are away. I also work remotely, so I’m able to be present in the home for extended periods, giving pets more attention, supervision, and stability compared to sitters who are in and out throughout the day. Most of my experience has come from repeat sits and trusted referrals, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home for extended periods throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings when needed. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort, and I keep spaces clean and secure at all times. Since I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can provide regular updates for peace of mind.
“Cher was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She communicated with me while I was gone on a regular base, sent me pictures of my cats and left my apartment possible cleaner than I had it before I left. She is a wonderful person and share kind words and support during a difficult time/trip for me. I will definitely contact her again when I need a cat sitter and highly recommended her. Thank you again for everything!!!!”
About: I am a veterinarian,I have 30 years of experience as a veterinarian, I've worked in clinics, I live in a place where I have several animals, it's my passion. I have experience with different types of pets. In my daily routine, they are the most important thing, as I live with several pets in my home. I am very patient and dedicated to them every day. I like to observe the animals' behavior daily so I can monitor their health. I prefer to provide care at the client's home, as recommended by the veterinarian; it's better not to take the pet out of its familiar environment.
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals. With cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I'm comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra gentleness and patience. Beyond cats and dogs, I have experience with small animals including ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. I understand that each species has unique needs — ferrets need supervised playtime and mental stimulation, rabbits require a calm environment and proper diet, and rodents need safe handling and clean, comfortable spaces. I'm experienced in medicating animals of all kinds, including oral medications, drops, and topical treatments — even with pets that can be resistant. Please note that I'm not able to accommodate aggressive large or extra large dogs, as safety is my top priority for all animals in my care. No matter the species, I approach every animal with patience, love, and respect. Your pet is in caring, knowledgeable hands. Pet care is not just something I do — it’s a natural part of who I am. I currently care for multiple pets of my own daily, so feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and check-ins are already built into my day from morning to night. My routine starts early with morning feedings and care, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs — so visiting or hosting your pet fits seamlessly into what I already do every single day. I’m home frequently, which means pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. On a weekly basis I stay on top of clean environments, health monitoring, and making sure every animal is happy and thriving. Pet care is my passion and my lifestyle — not just a side task. I care for pets in my own clean, cozy, and pet-friendly home where they receive 24/7 love, supervision, and attention. I provide a safe, calm space and follow their routines closely. I send frequent updates so you always feel connected and confident.

The average cost of House Sitting in Turtle Bayou is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $35 per night.

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 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.
