“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Austin was wonderful with our two doggies. He is very attuned to dogs and their communication styles and emotional states. After four days away we returned to a clean house and two very happy, well cared, for pups. We will definitely use Austin again.”
“Simply wonderful. Courtney took great care of our Great Dane, Marty— even took care of things we forgot to tell her! She stayed at our house and it was such a comfort knowing she was there with our big guy. Would recommend Courtney to anyone needing her pet sitting services. Exceptional!”
“Alexis did great on our 3 day trip away with our pup, Archie. She came and played with him and even socialized with her own pups after she asked if that was okay. Felt like our boy got taken care of whilst we were away.”
“Martha was perfect! She stayed the night with my chocolate lab and she did everything I asked. If you need a responsible person that you trust this is your girl. Will definitely use her again and refer her! I picked Martha because she was not the cheapest and knows the value of her time when you do a honest good job. Most comfortable I have ever felt. Thank you again!”
About: I treat every pet like family whether it's training a playful puppy or giving extra care to a senior pet. I'm experienced, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. From medication to playtime, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and spend most days at home which means your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and companionship. I love having animals around and build my day around their needs, whether that’s walks, feeding, or just being a calm presence. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do it’s part of my everyday life. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, and a calm environment tailored to their needs. I follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual schedule including feeding, walks, and medications.I will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands, no matter where they are.
About: Hi I'm Julia! I've taken care of and watched dogs of all sizes since childhood including Akitas, Doberman Pinschers, Pit bulls, Pugs, Beagles, Huskies, Dachshunds, etc. I also have experience with horses, so I'm no stranger to handling large animals. I have a deep love for animals and a lot of patience, your dog(s) will be in great hands and get all of the activity they need. I will be extremely diligent and you can trust me with any directions or preferences. I will be extremely respectful of your space should you require that service, and I don't smoke or drink. When it comes to walks I will make sure you get your money's worth, and you and your pet will be satisfied! I work remote and very often around on weekends so you can get the vacation you need! I'm happy to drop in or spend the night with your babies. I am a very active outdoors person and go on several long walks or runs a day, so you and your dog will definitely get your money's worth (however very aware of outside temperatures and potential for heatstroke)! I am extremely respectful of your spaces and have watched dogs overnight at their own homes many times. I have experience with aggressive, highly anxious, senior dogs, puppies, highly active breeds, and larger animals such as horses. I do not smoke or drink.
“Leah was fabulous! She was so patient and willing to work with my feisty puppy who just turned a year old. With her background she was gracious with his anxiety and they connected beautifully!!! Leah kept me in the loop and sent great pictures so I could be worry-free and enjoy my trip. I will definitely use Leah’s services again and again!!”
“Madison is amazing. The dogs and ducks were well cared for and she is extremely tidy. Our neighbor really liked her as well when Louie escaped and Madison had to retrieve him. We will 1000% be asking Madison to stay in our home with our animals again!”
“I used Savannah to be at the house while I had to be at work all day and she did a great job! I definitely know I’m a super overbearing dog mom to my fur baby but Savannah was super understanding and kept my pup on his usual routine! She also sent so many cute picks all day which was great. Sent updated of what they were doing and when they went on walks etc. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who particular about who takes care of their pup or if your a neurotic dog mom like me ? thanks Savannah!”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!
“Anita was AMAZING!!! Not only did she take excellent care of our stubborn furry baby, she kept watch over our home and we returned to a clean and happy house!! Peace of mind is what you’ll get by hiring her. We cannot recommend her enough. ???”
About: OUT OF STATE SITTING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. I've cared for domestic and farm animals of all kinds. Patience and kindness toward an unfamiliar animal give them time to adjust and feel safe, which ultimately brings them happiness while you're away. I'm semi-retired, so I have flexibility. My primary interest is in extended house-sitting, and pet sitting engagements, such as weekly or longer stays. I can stay for a month if needed. My home location is in Columbia, TN, but I'm also available to TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. Taking care of your home and animals are my priority. I care for each home and animal as I do with my own. Every animal has a routine and familiar places within your home. Keeping this rhythm keeps them happy, healthy and safe until you return.
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.
About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
“Lindsey did a great job. I have a senior dog who doesn't always eat as well as I'd like. Lindsey offered suggestions on how to get her to eat better, brought several cans of food over to entice her to eat, and kept me informed on how she was doing everyday. I couldn't have asked for better. I also have a senior cat who takes multiple medications everyday. Lindsey took care of that with no problem. She stayed at my house while we were away, and she left left it spotless. I highly recommend Lindsey and plan to use her again.”
About: I have been around and had animals most of my life. The love they can give you is compared to none. I enjoy taking care of a variety of animals. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks Sunday through Saturday. And for overnight stays in your home, I am available Sunday through Saturday. I am meticulous in providing amazing, loving care in your home. No need to worry about a thing. My family has a cat so I would not be able to care for pets at my home. But I do think animals are less stressed staying in their own environment.

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 Ashwood 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 Ashwood 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ashwood 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.
