“Samantha was so professional and a huge help! I had a family emergency alongside a wedding I had already RSVP'd to, so everything was last minute. Samantha was prompt, even flexible with me, and took such good care of my home and my girl. I got pictures and funny stories the whole time I was gone! Will absolutely be a repeat customer. Couldn't have been a better match!”
About: I genuinely love caring for my friends’ and family’s pets. Animals have always brought me a lot of joy, and I take their comfort, routine, and well being seriously. I love spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while my loved ones are away. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention, care, and play they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Because my schedule is more open right now, I’m able to be very attentive, present, and engaged with your pets rather than rushing through their care. I’m very gentle, patient, and loving with pets, and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. I know every animal has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, so I take my time earning their trust and making sure they feel cared for. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or high energy, I approach them with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love.
“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”

“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
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!
“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: 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: I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week including all holidays. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as I would a member of my own family. I can provide additional services if needed such as: Vet Office visits, pickup food & supplies, bathing and some light grooming if needed. If you feel your special friend needs a day of pampering but you just don't have the time to take them I can also provide delivery to some of the local spas. If you ever feel like your best friend is not getting the attention or care that they deserve due to your busy lifestyle I assure you I can assist you with this. I may even be able to provide tips of how you can spend more time with them depending on the situation. I want you to never feel like you have no options or choices when it comes to spending time with your dog('s). In the very near future I will be providing 24 hour surveillance and location (GPS) services to all of my clients for a small additional fee to cover equipment costs.
“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Michael was wonderful with our dog, Bear, and we would absolutely recommend him\. He came over about a week before our trip to meet Bear and go over everything with us, which we really appreciated\. From the beginning, he was kind, respectful, trustworthy, and great with Bear\. Michael stayed at our home for three nights and was very good about sending us updates while we were away\. Unfortunately, Bear got sick and threw up one of the days, and Michael handled it so well\. He let us know right away, kept us updated, and cleaned everything up\. When we got home, the house was very clean and Bear was happy and well cared for\. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing both Bear and our home were in such good hands\. Michael is a genuinely nice, respectful guy, and we would definitely use him again\. Highly recommend\!”
About: I have experience with many animals including dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals! I’m an aspiring veterinarian and a part time veterinary assistant at a mixed practice animal hospital. I have hundreds of hours of experience with my local veterinarian, dog walking at my local animal shelter, and pet sitting. I was trained at the Williamson County Animal Center to work with dogs showing early signs of severe behavioral issues. I have experience with wary, unsure dogs who need time to warm up. I have experience with disabled animals including those with spinal injuries, cerebral hypoplasia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, age related problems, and more. I have raised and cared for several puppies, but I also care for many seniors. I have an 11 year old dog myself! I’m currently a commuting college student who has availability before/after school that allows me to take care of pets in the Franklin, TN area in my free time! I am very vigilant when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of the animals in my care. I treat your babies like my own and am quick to alert you if something feels wrong!
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.
“Elyssa was incredible with our American Bulldog Gotti and our cat Mary Lou. She helped Gotti take his medicine, and sent us updates every day. We look forward to booking her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life, having grown up on a farm in Alabama which was home to various stray (then adopted) animals! I was a doggie mom for 13 years to a handsome Jack Russell Shi Tzu mix who passed away last year. I would be honored to care for your pet while you're away! Please note: Ideal for dogs who are comfortable while their owners are at work or who can be left alone during the day. I work full-time Monday–Friday, so I accept house sits that fit around my work schedule while providing attentive morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care. Ideal for dogs who are comfortable while their owners are at work or who can be left alone during the day.

I can also provide light cleaning, watering plants, and bring in the mail during my stay.
“Sophie is the best. I know this review will now make it harder for me to book her again because everyone else will be booking her. She loves animals and is a true kind spirit. Very responsible and clean. Her care of my house equaled the care of my dogs. She’s very communicative too. A++ rating.”
“Casey was AMAZING! I was so nervous leaving my 9 month old puppy with her for an entire weekend but she was so reassuring and sent updates and pictures along the way. My pup even looked around the house for her when we got back because they had such a great time together! Will definitely book her again!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,441 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Grove. 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 College Grove 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 College Grove 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 College Grove 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

- 97% 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.
