“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Beverly stayed in our home for two weeks while caring for our three Golden Retrievers, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. She made sure they were well-fed, exercised, groomed, and received all of their medication, and it was clear they were happy and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding. She sent us updates and photos at least twice a day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and care. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, and we would absolutely book her again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dogs and our home!”
“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”

“Naomi took care of two emotional dogs. She came early to meet them and communicated when arriving and leaving our house. She also ran the dishwasher and stripped her bedding before leaving! Thanks, Naomi of taking care of them!”
“Jill was wonderful! She agreed to watch our girls on short notice and was so accommodating with any changes along the way. She's very friendly, easy to communicate with, and took such great care of our pets. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“Patricia was an excellent dog sitter. She was conscientious and loving with my dogs. She kept in consistent communication with me. She left my house in good order. I was very pleased.”
About: I was raised caring for cats & dogs and have always had pets in my home. I have been a foster mom for a local animal shelter for the past 11 years. I have cared for young and older pets. My family & friends often reach out to me for assistance with their pets. I am known for my love of dogs. I am good with cleaning up accidents as needed I work from home which allows me time to be with my pets daily. I am their primary caregiver due to my work from home status. I provide all of their care needs. And at times I may have fosters in my home that I care for. I have a fenced in yard for my pets with a doggy door. I am comfortable with crating a pet if it is the pet parents’ preference. I utilize baby gates to limit pets access to areas as a training tool. I have a blind dog & have learned that she needs additional supervision gor her safety.
“Stephanie has been phenomenal with the dogs!! They almost seem disappointed when I walk in the door after a trip because it’s not Stephanie! 😂 she keeps me updated with pictures and is completely professional and courteous.”
About: If you’re looking for someone to adore your pet and build special trust with them then I am here! I am a lifelong animal lover. I have cared for close friends’ animals for years, as well as housesat for coworkers. I currently have one cat who has been with me for 8 years. My former roommate has an Australian cattle dog and I would often take care of him when she was gone! I also frequently house and dogsat for another friend with a lovely black lab mix and energetic dachshund. Plenty of experience taking care of cats as well. No matter the situation I look forward to meeting your babies and putting your worries at ease while you’re away I am working part time in healthcare Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I work 9-6 pm and am available for early morning and evening walks and check ins. On my off days I will be dedicated to your babies and would enjoy getting outside with them too! I am happy to care for them in your home where they feel most comfortable! I am unable to house any additional pets in my home at this time
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“Caitlyn watched our pup while we were on vacation for almost a week. Our house looks spotless upon returning and our pup was so happy to see us. We got daily updates which were great and gave us peace of mind knowing that he was well taken care of!”
“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.”
“Stephanie once again left Pocket well loved and taken care of, she is the best pet sitter we have ever hired. She even vacuumed before she left and Pockets will miss all the attention.”
About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours volunteering in the community (Knoxville), which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and a few hours of companionship, and I’m also open to overnight stays in a clean and comfortable home. I typically work during the day for about 7 hours, usually from 6 AM–1 PM or 8 AM–3 PM, but I’m happy to stop by before and after work to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they need. I’m respectful of your home, your instructions, and your pet’s boundaries. My experience has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant, and prepared, especially in situations where someone is depending on me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. P.s - MY dog is a RUNNER so don’t worry I know how to make sure they stay inside.

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.

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.
