“This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.”
“EXCELLENT dog and house sitter! He watched my dogs for 3 nights and 4 days. Bryce took excellent care of my house and dogs. He was very communicative and gave excellent, precise information. He walked both dogs, gave medication and went above and beyond. Awesome sitter”
“Lily was an absolute gem of a house sitter for us while on vacation. I was immediately struck by her level of care and commitment to my furry family. She was timely, communicative, and overall a superstar with superb attention to detail. She handled four animals (two cats, two dogs) without any hesitation. Our geriatric cat who requires multiple medications and special food can be intimidating, but Lily took care of her like a champ. I could not have been more impressed with the service she provided, and I will DEFINITELY be booking with Lily again in the future.”
“Erin was amazing with Tilly! She gave great updates and took great care of her and our home while we were away. Will definitely be re-booking in the future and would recommend her to anyone 😊”
About: Hello, my name is Nick and I’m a life-long dog owner (22 years) and serial animal shelter volunteer. As someone who is going through the process returning to higher education later in life, I find myself in the peculiar place of not being able to have my own little companion! So here I am on Rover 😁 Recently, I have been involved as a puppy socialisation teacher, big dog play group facilitator, dog enrichment programming, cat socialisation and shelter medicine associate roles with the San Francisco SPCA. I have training in handling both shy / fearful and jumpy, mouthy and energetic animals. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some highly knowledgeable animal behaviour specialists, shelter medicine staff and all-round-animal lovers, who have instructed me in the power of positive behavioural approaches to animal training. In short - you can rest easy knowing that your little fur baby will be in the hands of a knowledgeable, well-trained and compassionate animal lover who is always trying to increase positive animal behaviours while developing a loving and supportive bond! My full-time job is a sports coach / fitness trainer so I’m relatively flexible during the day and required for 3 hours in the evenings to coach training sessions in person. I believe that consistency is key when it comes to quality pet care. Your animals will be used to you, your care routine and approach to care generally so I do my best to align with myself to this. That being said, I’ve been trained in a fear-free approach which aims to reduce fear, stress and anxiety by becoming aware of each animals unique disposition and subsequent triggers/stressors, removing/altering the animals immediate environment to curb any negative effects and lastly using mindful handling techniques that cater to the animals specific needs. Simply put - I’ll make sure your doggies will be happy pups whilst you’re away!
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Rachel was a wonderful in-home dog sitter. In addition to being a perfect house guest, she was so kind and caring to my senior pup. She was communicative and left everything in perfect order. Ziggy says he would highly recommend her and would give her 6 stars if he could!”
“Autumn and Addie were great and very communicative! They sent pictures everyday and we could see that the pets were in good hands. I was especially nervous about leaving my anxious dog, but they made a point to take her to the park often and spend time with her and the cats. I felt much better after receiving their first updates. They took good care of the house as well. Will definitely call them next time!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for years now. Mostly walking and playing with them, but occasionally administering medication as well. Super detail oriented so happy to follow the needs of your pets! I am currently in grad school once or twice a week at night while working part time. It gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to hang with your babies. My kitties are spoiled with lots of toys and trees and scratching posts. Any dog I see will be greeted and played with immediately when permitted by the owner. Truly just want any pet to know they are cared for and valued.
“Shannon went so above and beyond and could not recommend more!! Extremely great with our two (cute but anxious) dogs, very communicative, and was able to work with our really hectic schedule. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.
About: Dog owner since 1970. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front, and one in back, with a gate in between if needed. Dogs love me and I love them. ❤️ I have an older service dog as well, and am able to help train a dog if needed. I'm semi-retired, so it's rare that your dog would be left alone at all, but if you're dog enjoys being left alone, that's always an option as well. Communication is the key.... feeding times, special needs, etc. I have everything needed to pet sit. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front and one in back with a gate in between. My home has whole house ac and vinyl flooring. I have 3 dogs to keep your dog company, or those two seperate fenced yards if requested or needed. I also have crates for dogs that enjoy that den feeling.
“We had a great experience with Sarah for a 5 day getaway. She asked appropriate questions, was very communicative and sent photos, kept the house clean and took great care of our dogs while we were away. Its such a relief to have someone trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely book her again!”
“Sydney did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone. She followed all the instructions we left and kept her company at night as well. She sent so many updates and pictures and was so accommodating!”
About: Experience & Background: Hands-On Fostering & Rescue Experience. My understanding of canine behavior comes from my experience as a dog foster. Fostering taught me how to support dogs of all personalities—from rescue pups adjusting to new environments, to high-energy dogs needing structured outlets, to timid pets requiring extra patience and gentle encouragement. Fostering trained me to read subtle dog body language, manage different temperaments safely, and strictly follow customized care plans, feeding schedules, and medication routines. Yes, I can give insulin if needed. Safety-First Approach & Dog Handling: Your dog’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. In addition to my rescue experience, I practice strict safety protocols during every visit and walk: Leash & Gear Awareness: Double-checking harnesses, collars, and leashes before every walk to prevent escapes or gear failures. My well maintained fenced yard has ample amount of room to catch some sunlight and run and play. Proactive Walking Habits: Maintaining full environmental awareness on walks—avoiding unwanted off-leash dog encounters, staying clear of busy street hazards, and pacing walks to match your dog's fitness level and the weather. Routine & Structure: Following your home rules and training cues consistently so your dog maintains their normal routine without unnecessary stress. Tailored Care for Every Stage of Life Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk, structured mental enrichment and playtime, or gentle companionship for a senior pet, I adapt my care to their exact physical and emotional needs. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I currently work overnights and have all day availability. I can provide last minute drop ins, 30+60 minute outdoor walks and high energy runs Hi, I’m Ryan! Whether you need active daily walks, structured drop-in visits, or attentiveness while you’re away, my goal is to give your dog a safe, fun, and fulfilling experience—and give you complete peace of mind. - High-Attention & Structured Care: I understand that every dog has different needs—from high-energy breeds that need solid physical exercise to timid pups that require patience and gentle encouragement. - Safety & Reliability First: I practice proper leash etiquette, maintain total awareness on walks, and follow your home and feeding routines to the letter. - Clear & Consistent Updates: You will receive daily updates with photos and videos as well as details on feeding, bathroom breaks, and activities after every visit or walk. - Dog Walking: Tailored to your pup's energy level, whether that means a fast-paced fitness walk or a leisurely one. I handle leash manners with care and always double-check secure gear before heading out. - Drop-In Visits & Sitting: Includes fresh water, scheduled meals, playtime/enrichment, mental stimulation, and any medication administration your pet requires. - Daily Routine: I stick strictly to the house rules you’ve established so your dog stays on their normal, comfortable schedule. - I do not take unvetted dogs off-leash in un-fenced areas. - I am comfortable managing specific feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and special care instructions.
“Had previously used Kaitlyn for a drop in for 3 little dogs who have pea sized bladders and require walks every 3 hours. They also don't always agree on routing which is to say they are not necessarily easy to walk. This time, she stayed at our home for 4 days. All went perfectly. Kaitlyn is meticulous about following directions give and is genuinely concerned about providing the same level of care that pups get from their owners. We give Kaitlyn 12 paws up and plan to use her often.”

We are so lucky to have met Erin. She did an excellent job taking care of our babies (stberdoodle dog and cat). We were given regular updates and pictures that helped us relax and enjoy the vacation knowing they were safe and being loved. She made sure the medications were given. She didn’t mind all of our instructions with our babies crazy routines of treats and meals. I would highly recommend Erin to care for your furry family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Turtle Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,387 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Turtle Creek. 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 Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek 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.
