“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”

“Wow, just wow!!! I reached out to Morgan last minute, she accommodated me for two whole weeks. She was very communicative and kind! She took such good care of my babies! I got lots of pictures. I will most definitely be booking Morgan again, she is amazing!! She went over & beyond, she took out the trash, cleaned, cleaned out the litter boxes. She is seriously the best!! Thank you Morgan.”

About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.

“Aspen took amazing care of our house and pets while we were away. Her communication is excellent and she is so thoughtful and considerate! We would book her again anytime and highly recommend her!”

About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! 1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. 2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.
“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!”

This includes providing regular feeding schedules tailored to their dietary needs, ensuring access to fresh water at all times, and maintaining a clean living space. I engage pets in enriching activities such as playtime, walks, and interactive toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Additionally, I adhere to any specific care instructions provided by pet owners, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. Above all, I approach pet care with love, patience, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of each animal in my care.
“Emma watched my dogs in my home and she provided exceptional care. She kept me updated with photos and videos and daily updates. The care she provided was 10/10, 5 ⭐️ I will be using her for future care and highly recommend her for your pets.”

“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! My husband is off (Fri. - Sun.) so he helps me on weekends which are my busiest. We’re a team! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.
“Shayla is probably one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Attentive, communicative, respectful and caring! Samson and Dotty were truly spoiled with her here and I know they were very happy with all the attention from their new friend!”
About: Growing up with dogs—from my childhood Yellow Lab, Chili, to my German Shepherd, Jaylee—instilled in me a lifelong love and deep respect for pets. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for years, handling everything from daily walks to overnight care. As a college student, caring for dogs isn't just a side job for me; it’s something I truly enjoy. I take pride in providing a safe, attentive, and fun environment where your pup feels right at home. As a biochemistry major with a double minor in math and biology, I’m used to staying organized and focused. I intentionally manage my workload so I never take on pet care unless I can give your dog the full time and attention they deserve. My busiest day is Thursday during my lab, but because most of my coursework is online, I’m home study-buddy style with your pets during the week. Plus, I keep my Saturdays completely free for fun trips to the park or Starbucks pup cup runs! When caring for your pet in your home, trust and safety are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet is kept supervised and out of harm’s way by keeping all hazardous items completely out of reach. I also believe that clear communication brings peace of mind, so I send frequent updates and photos throughout the visit to keep you connected with your pet every step of the way!
“Ashlyn was an angel who not only did an exceptional job caring for our babies while we were at our son’s wedding, she acted quickly and decisively when our golden retriever had a medical emergency. When you are away from your animals the last thing you would want is an emergency call from your pet sitter. Well, we had an early morning call from Ashlyn who was not only calm, she had already contacted the emergency vet service and explained that our dog had a seizure. From beginning to end, Ashlyn not only communicated everything to us, she also, stayed with our dog until he was ready to come home. I was so blown away by her kindness, concern, and compassion that she had for our poor dog who was having health issues and scared. She treated our dogs as if they were her own, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you, Ashlyn. We will never be able to thank you enough for making sure our dog was ok. It was the most stressful few hours not being able to be with our dog, but also comforting that Ashlyn was communicating and loving him in our place! I would highly recommended Ashlyn. She is mature, responsible and an animal lover. I just can’t say enough good things about her stay with our 4 dogs.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for many years. I have helped watch dogs for my friends’ business around the holidays and busy seasons, as well. I have a large dog and a cat of my own, and I have had pets since I was a kid. I love dogs and cats, and I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to check in whenever needed. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to check on your pets whenever needed. My weekends are typically free, as well, which could allow for an occasional overnight visit. I can drop in to feed your pets, let them out, give them love, and walk them if needed. Occasionally, I may be available for overnight visits for older or more anxious pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 246 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Acuff. 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 Acuff 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 Acuff 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 Acuff 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 Acuff. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
