“DeAnna provided excellent care to our dog, Guinea pig, and chickens! From the start she was a great communicator and we felt at ease being gone from our critters. Our dog got lots of walks and play time. We highly recommend DeAnna!”
About: I have three pups of my own, (Roosevelt, 6 year old border collie, Sadie B, 5 year old dalmatian mix, and Chewbacca, 1 year old Carolina dog.) They are all rescues. I adore them, they are my babies. I would have many more if I had a farm and could talk my husband into it. I visit dog shelters regularly and become familiar with all the pups. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pups when you go out of town. Please contact me with your pet sitting needs. Thanks "Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes it." "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." "Be the person your dog thinks you are"
About: 12+ years of professional pet and farm sitting experience. I offer tailored care to dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I specialize in caring for senior animals and pets with medical or complex care needs. I care for your animals like they are my own and offer compassionate, patient care that meets your pets full range of needs. My love for animals began at the age of 2 by bringing home a garter snake and over the years I've had dogs, cats, a horse, birds and other fuzzy critters that I've loved dearly. A meet and greet is required for first time clients to allow me to get to know your pets and their routine to ensure they receive the best care possible. 💛🐱🐕 I am a full-time pet and farm sitter. I work 7 days a week and holidays, when available. I'm often booked several weeks in advance. I care for your animals in your home where they are most comfortable. I am detail oriented and aim to leave your home clean and cared for just like your pets. I have plenty of references and I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about care, my background and my process.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
“Elyssa was fantastic. Followed my instructions perfectly, provided great updates and always made me feel that my pup was in good hands. Will look forward to booking again!”
“Alexis was fantastic. She stayed with our dogs for a few days. We got great updates. But most importantly, when a series of bad storms swept through our town, she was there to comfort the nervous puppies.”
“This is the second time Dania has watched my dog and house sat while I was gone, she’s great and I’ll always check to see if she’s available when I need some. Dania is very responsive and sends plenty of pictures of your pet while you’re away and respects house rules.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was nine. In the past three years I’ve recently become a cat mom and now have 12 cats on my own with my fiancé. We live on a farm and we’ve been using the 11 acres we have to offer homes to pets that need new environments or random cats we found and neutered in the local stray colony. Through this process I’ve learned a lot about veterinary animal care, from getting care for small cuts and abrasions to CPR to recovering from surgery and so much more. I have cared for cows and horses, though it has been a few years so I would need a refresher course. I love animals and I love caring for them and would love to care for yours as well. I’m currently working from home as a freelancer. My schedule and time are very flexible as I can work from pretty much anywhere with the Wi-Fi signal. I do occasionally have work calls throughout the day, but nothing that usually disrupts any feeding schedule. I have a lot of experience of caring for pets in other people’s homes/ as I’m house sitting at the same time. As I have a home filled with animals, it seems to an environment that might be overwhelming to some pets. I have a lot of experience with animals that need medical attention as I have taken care of many strays. I can handle pretty much any age level from kitten to senior cat, from puppy to senior dog, etc. When I housesit, I usually clean the entire place, including the bathroom and kitchen areas unless otherwise requested. Of course, cleaning any litter boxes needed as well as general tidying, such as vacuuming or sweeping.
“Hannah was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our pups while we visited family. The house was left in excellent condition and our dogs were very happy to spend time with her! Thanks again, Hannah!!”
“Caleb was an awesome dog sitter! He got along great with our dog Snickers. He was attentive and always kept her on her routine. She loved playing fetch with Caleb. He stayed at our home and kept it very clean. I would highly recommend Caleb!”
“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
“Kai is amazing. He was attentive and caring with our babies. He gave them lots of love & snuggles. We will def be using him for our travel out of town. 100% recommend Kai! He sent us lots of pictures and daily multiple updates.”
About: We're Kelly and David, a Nashville couple who grew up around dogs and have been caring for them our whole lives. We love to travel, and house sitting has become a fun way to get a little of that same variety right here in our own city — a new neighborhood, a new routine, a new dog to hang out with. We'll keep your pets on their normal schedule, stick to the instructions you leave rather than improvising, and handle the small stuff while you're gone: mail in, plants watered, trash out on the right day. You'll get photos and a quick check-in each day so you actually know how things are going, and you'll come home to a house that's been looked after. We work for ourselves managing rental properties around Nashville, so our schedule is flexible and we're not tied to an office all day. That means when we're staying at your place, your pets aren't alone for long stretches — one of us is usually around, and we plan our days around their walks, meals, and medication times rather than squeezing them in. We take house sitting jobs one at a time so we're not running between houses, and we treat your home as our home base for the stay, not a place we stop by. We only offer house sitting, so everything happens in your home on your pets' normal terms. Before the stay we do a meet-and-greet to walk through feeding amounts and times, where everything lives, walk routes, any medications, and how your pets do with strangers, other dogs, and time on their own. During the stay we keep that schedule as close to exactly as you left it as we can — same food, same walk times, same spot on the couch if that's allowed. We give your pets our full attention and stay in touch with photos and a short daily update, and we check with you first on anything you haven't already covered. We also keep up the house while we're there — mail and packages in, plants watered, trash and recycling out, thermostat where you like it — and we clean up and wash the linens before we go, so the place looks the way it did when you left.
“Erika took superb care of our elder dog, Allie! Our house was also well taken care of so clean when we got home. I highly recommend Erika to sit for all the pets! We will be contacting Erika again to sit for our girl ❤️”
“Giovanni has house sat for us 3 times now, which includes taking care of a big dog and two cats, and he's the best! Stays in communication, plenty of picks, the house is always pristine when we return, and the animals are always happy to see him. Thank you!”
“I can not recommend Kori enough! She house-sat for our (very rambunctious) english bulldog puppy and was very attentive to both our puppy and our house! You can tell she is naturally wonderful with dogs, but she expands upon that with a level of concern and care for them that actually allowed me to my enjoy my trip and minimized my mom-guilt :) I plan to use Kori for all future trips and would recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful companion for their pet!”

David is amazing! We do not travel much so our 3 dogs were not used to a sitter. David did a meet-and-greet twice to get to know them. He was super patient and worked daily when he stayed to ensure their comfort level. I would highly recommend David especially for anyone who may have first time jitters about leaving their pet

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 Burns 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 Burns 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 Burns 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
