“Kailyn was fantastic, sent us lots of photos and was great with our pets. She even made us fancy tomato soup from the vegetables in our garden - above and beyond!”
About: Nice to meet you— I go by Gracie, and I love animals! I’ve always had a dog in my house growing up, and I’ve volunteered at animal shelters in the past. I’m a recent college grad looking for additional income. My schedule is completely open since I graduated from college and moved back home! I’m available morning, noon and night to check up on your fur babies whenever you need! I stick to their schedule as closely as possible to make sure that they still keep their routine while you’re gone. Even if there isn’t a strict schedule, their time with me will be filled with fun!
“Lila is extremely reliable, respectful and responsible. My 2 dogs absolutely love her, she made sure they were properly cared for and given tons of attention. She truly goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Asheley was amazing with our senior dog and cats. Our dog got sick a few days into our trip and she was great about sending updates and making sure she was ok (and cleaning up a huge mess!). I would definitely recommend using her.”
“Jenna was so good with my quirky little guy!! She read all the notes and he warmed up to her really quickly. She also took great care of my place. We would love to book her again!”
“Daniel was amazing with the puppies! They were so happy and had the best time while we were away. Daniel was communicative, kind, and patient. He was overall great! Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Kelsey was awesome and took such good care of our fir babies while we gone. She was very flexible and great with communication. We will definitely be calling her again when we need a dog sitter again. Thank you Kelsey!!”
“Wonderful! Stella went above and beyond during her time with Arnie at our house. I love receiving photos and updates about how and what he was doing while we were gone. Even though we missed our sweet boy, we knew he was playing and getting lots of love from Stella. We will definitely book her again!”
“Jamie was great! She kept us updated on our dogs and sent pics and I know they were getting lots of love!! She’s extremely communicative and responds quickly! It was a 10/10 experience”
“Laurie went above and beyond in caring for my babies. They can be a handful (I have 3 cats and a dog), but she rose to the challenge and made sure they felt cared for and loved every single day for my extended house sitting request. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!”
About: I have experience with Dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, pigs and horses. I love taking care of all animals! I especially enjoy taking care of dogs because I want a dog one day! I work full time M-F but I work from anywhere and everywhere so travel is no problem for me! I can work sat & sun but I prefer to keep my weekends for personal time! I have two cats currently, I live in a nice wooded area with a big backyard, with easy access to walkable neighborhood and nature trails. I treat all my clients spaces as if they were my own.
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
“Hannah helped us out last minute and took care of our house and dogs and did such an incredible job. She came for a meet and greet and took detailed notes. She followed all our dog care instructions, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Dogs were very happy when we got home and all the sheets and towels had already been washed and put back. We got lots of great updates. We highly recommend her for pet care, and housesitting!”
“Abby was the best!! So sweet! Very dependable and our girls took to her right away! She’s so attentive to their needs and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care while we were away. Definitely intend to use Abby again! ??”
“Lily was so sweet, responsive, flexible, and most importantly caring to our dog! We are incredibly picky with sitters and I’m so happy we trusted Lily with our home and our pup. Will absolutely recommend her to my friends and will work with her again!”
“Blaise and Kendall were great with Betty. This was our first time using them after a recent move to a new part of town. It was comforting finding someone so close to home. They left our home in great shape. The bread and treats were a great gesture also. Will be using again.”
About: I haven taken care of dogs, cats, and even turtles since I was 14! I've helped out my neighbors with their pets since I was a little kid. I've walked, fed, sat, and checked in plenty of times for dogs and cats! One thing about me to know, is I will always make sure that lil fur baby has fresh water everyday as well, haha! Hydration station!! I currently am not working so I am free most days and nights! The main thing I have been doing is taking care of everyone around me and I would love to do the same with every and anybody I can. I definitely am more awake towards the end of the day/night! I am always here to communicate and see what works best for everyone though! :~) I've had cats my entire life and have walked/fed/house sat many many dogs in my life! Cats as well. I mean I just care about animals a lot. I think they deserve all the love, safety, and compassion in the world. I have always always had a connection to animals. They tend to get comfortable with me pretty quickly and I get comfortable with them even quicker haha!! I have always kept fur babies safe and feel loved.
“Taylor dogsat my two dogs for the first time while I was in Iceland and did an AMAZING job! Her updates and communication were perfect, and she sent lots of pictures which I loved. I could tell my dogs had a great time with her and I never worried about them while I was gone. Taylor even left a sweet note and left my apt in perfect condition. She will definitely be my new go-to Rover sitter. Thank you, Taylor!”

Kailyn took such good care of my 3 dogs. The two Germans are definitely a handful and she did a great job with them. My little dog is diabetic and she administered insulin twice a day to her! House was very clean and laundry done! Was nice to come home to, Definitely will use Kailyn again!
Francis was great! She took excellent care of my 3 pets. She sent videos and pictures during the week I was away and left my house neat and tidy. She went above and beyond with the house. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely have her sit again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arrington is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $35 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arrington. 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 Arrington 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 Arrington 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 Arrington 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
