Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.

This was the first time we used Beverly for house/dog sitting. She kept us informed daily on how our buddy was doing and sent daily photo updates. She also gave him a bath and trimmed up his nails! When we returned the house was in good shap and our little buddy was happy to see us! Over all excellent work by Beverly!

Naomi was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was available so last minute and we had to kept extending our days for a death in the family. It was a tall order because we have 4 dogs with all very different needs. Naomi handled it with ease, was flexible and accommodating, and updated us with pictures daily. We came home to a cleaner house than before, vacuumed floors, Amazon boxes stacked, laundry folded and the dogs were very happy! We could tell she did a great job with our babies!! I will 100% be rebooking with Naomi again. My husband and I are so impressed!!!!

We hired Angela for a four-day weekend to care for our two dogs, one of whom is older, while the other is three years old. We were absolutely delighted with her services. Angela stayed at our house, walked our dogs, and maintained everything perfectly. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. Thank you so much, Angela! We would definitely use her again in the future.

About: I have over 12 years of pet care experience, working with puppies all the way to attentive senior care. My expertise in puppy training allows me to instill good behavior and obedience from a young age, while my senior care skills ensure that older pets receive the extra love and attention they need. Pet owners have trusted me time and again to provide reliable and compassionate care for their beloved animals, making me a standout sitter in the community. While I'm currently unemployed and preparing for my upcoming move to a new job and apartment, I have ample time and flexibility in my daily routine to provide dedicated pet care. It's important to me to make the most of this transitional period by offering my services to pet owners who need assistance. I can give their pets the attention, care, and love they deserve during this time while I'm available. Once I start my new job and settle into the new apartment, I'll reassess my schedule and explore ways to continue supporting pet care For pet sitting in my home, I prioritize safety and comfort. I have a secure, pet-friendly environment with designated spaces for pets to play and rest. I ensure there are no hazardous items within their reach and provide regular supervision to avoid any accidents. Additionally, I follow any specific dietary or medical requirements your pet may have, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on creating a familiar and stress-free environment. I'll always adhere to their usual routines, such as feeding schedules, walks, and playtime activities, to maintain a sense of normalcy for the pets. I take extra precautions to secure the client's home during my visits, ensuring the safety of both the pets and the property.

Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.

Jill was fantastic. She made sure my babies were loved! My baby girl Willow gets UTIs bad and she suffers with chronic pancreatitis- she hadn’t been sick in a while but of course she got sick while I was out for just one night! Jill let me know and she was able to give her the meds she needed. Grateful she was comfortable with doing that bc I did not expect her to be sick! She sent pictures and updates, which was much appreciated! Thank you Jill!

Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!

Lindsey was all around amazing!!!! For anyone wanting someone who is going to stay in contact and always be there when you need her, she is your gal! This was my first time ever using rover and I can tell you I was so nervous. I have never left my 6 animals alone for more than a day so this was something new. She came and visited us before our trip just to meet us and the animals. After that, during our entire trip she sent pictures and kept me up to date with how they were doing. I have 3 big dogs and 3 big cats and we were gone for 5 days. She took care of them so well and I could not ask for anyone better to do the job.

Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alder Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 658 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alder Springs. 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 Alder Springs 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 Alder Springs 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 Alder Springs 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 Alder Springs. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
