“Raye is AWESOME!!! This was our second time requesting her services. She was great with our fur babies and we did not have to worry about anything while on vacation. We will definitely be requesting her again and highly recommend her! Thank you again Raye!! :)”
About: I worked at two different holistic pet stores for two years combined, so I have extensive knowledge on pets, pet products and know several emergency vets and pet services in the Chattanooga and Nashville area. I have pet sat since I was 10 years old and done overnight house sitting stays since I was 17. I have had three dogs in my lifetime, and each one lived a long and happy life, including my 6 year old lab who stays with my parents in the Nashville area. I trained all my dogs, and my 6 year old lab has seperation anxiety, so I am aware of the quirks that dogs can have! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats, which I'm sure transfers pretty well to dogs. I have cared for my own senior dogs, sold products to benefit senior dogs, and am fit enough to lift any dog that needs assistance getting into the house or car! I am very knowledgeable, responsible and very easy to get along with! I’m currently unemployed and trying to fill the gap while I look for something full-time. I have a husband that can take care of my animals so I can fully invest in pet-sitting right now! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m the type of person who will cross a street just to pet a cute dog or a stray cat. I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like, or that didn’t like me (which to me is the best testament to my character!)
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. An they had my own when I was grown. I love an treat them like family I work a 40 hour week but I come home for lunch so there never alone long... An after work an before work I give em walks an play time baths whatever they need I do better w pets primarily indoor .I have a semi fenced yard an when I go out I put them on a run an watch them or take them for walks on a leash
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs. We ❤️ dog psychology and behavior. We provide supervision, exercise and play. Your dog will be interacting with our “pack” of friendly dogs and family. Manners and house training will be enforced in a positive atmosphere. We have a fenced in yard, indoor fencing and gates to separate dogs if needed. We offer meet & greets, as well as curb side drop off and pickup. You don’t even have to get out of your car if you prefer! We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!
“Rhonda is wonderful! It's been nearly a year and a half since we've gone away for a vacation or long weekend. Our last pet sitter moved away, and we're kind of picky when it comes to someone watching our babies. We knew we had found a gem when our 2 girls who are shy and standoffish went right up to greet Rhonda when she came out to meet us and our dogs. She kept us updated while we were away, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worrying. We already have two more stays scheduled with Rhonda and hope to add more!”
“I can not say enough great things about Rachel. This was my first time using someone from here to watch my fur baby so I was a bit nervous. This young lady is beyond professional, attentive and kind. She made me feel at ease within a few minutes of speaking with her . She kept me updated on all things involving my little Ace and he liked her immediately. I plan on using her again and again and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been an advocate for animals. Their innocence, loyalty, and dedication to humans is unwavering so I try to give them love in return. I just left my 9-5 to per-sue what makes me happy and still make money. Caring for animals will give me the ability to spend more time with mine also. I have 3 dogs in my home so I would care for your pet in your home. Plus I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes. I have a live in dog sitter so my pets always have someone with them giving me the time to help other people with their pets.
“Hailee was great! Very responsible and loved on our babies. Also communicated a lot throughout our absence and made me feel very comfortable about leaving our animals behind. Would definitely use her again!”
“Emily was the best with our 7mo old Weimaraner, Dodger, while we took a week-long vacation. She was consistent, reliable, sent us pictures/updates and walked him daily. We would absolutely recommend Emily and plan to use her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, so I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail oriented. I provide regular updates, photos, and check ins so owners feel reassured knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is not just to watch your pets, but to genuinely care for them like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already have experience caring for my own cat and am very comfortable around both cats and dogs. I understand how important consistency, attention, exercise, and companionship are for pets of all personalities and energy levels. During the summer, I work full time but get off at 4 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the evenings for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication routines if needed, and quality one-on-one attention. I also have weekends completely free, allowing for flexible scheduling, extended visits, or overnight care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up after dogs during walks, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I have extensive experience in caring for dogs, ensuring they lead happy and healthy lives. Along with providing balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and grooming, I also have a strong background in dog training and animal behavior. I’m skilled at understanding different dog personalities, whether they’re energetic puppies or calm adults, and I tailor care to meet their individual needs. My training experience includes teaching basic commands, addressing behavioral issues, and fostering positive habits. Building trust and creating a loving environment for dogs is my priority, and I take pride in giving them the attention, affection, and guidance they deserve. If you would also be interested in dog training please message me. If anything changes I will communicate with you about times and try my best to find the perfect time to get with you and your fur-babies. 😊 Sunday: 3pm-6pm [Church Day] Monday: 8am-6pm Tuesday: 8am-6pm Wednesday: 8am-6pm [Personal Day] [Intermittent] Thursday: 8am-6pm Friday: 8am-6pm Saturday: 8am-6pm If your dog bullies other animals in the house they will be crated or put in a time-out. I am an AKC Certified [dog trainer/evaluator] and animal behaviorist in training. So I know how dogs think. And if your dog tries to bully me, I know how to handle it with force-free methods since I am a force-free dog trainer. I have two corgis at home who pick fights with each other and when they do, they are separated and crated for about 5 minutes before release to calm down.
About: I have had dogs of my own for my entire life, and dog-sat for many friends, family & neighbors over the years. I also have tons of experience with horses and goats! I am traveling right now as I search for another full time job. In the interim, I am looking for animals to care for, walk, groom- whatever is needed- to make some money & stay afloat! I love to snuggle & play with all of the fur babies! I give great scratches and am a worthy tug-of-war opponent. I will ensure that your house is always locked, safe & secure, and that your companions are happy & healthy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clifty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 211 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clifty. 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 Clifty 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 Clifty 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 Clifty 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.
