“Tara did a great job with my mini Aussie, Freddy. He was happy when I got home and the house was clean and picked up. This is the 2nd time Tara has kept Freddy for me, and it won;'t be the last. I never hesitate to leave my Freddy with Tara!”
“Meredith was the best! She sent us lots of photos of our boys, was super communicative, and the dogs and house were very well taken care of! Can’t recommend enough!”
“Ami was great. Great communication in a timely manner. Any questions Answered right away. Pups had a great time with her and will definitely use her in the future. Sent pics of the babies and updates. House looked just the way we left it. Pups were definitely well loved while we were away.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience with many different pets. I’m also studying veterinary care in college, so I have special knowledge about puppy training and senior pet care. This makes me confident in providing the best care tailored to each pet’s needs. Balancing school at Volstate and work, I make sure to set aside regular time each day and week for pet care. I prioritize feeding, playtime, and cleaning, fitting these tasks into my routine so pets get consistent attention and care even with a busy schedule. I provide loving care by feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and giving medications if needed, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Cassie does a great job with our elderly cat. She also was GREAT with my daughter's rescue cat who can be unpredictable, especially with new people! Both cats were happy campers when we returned home!”
“Jemima was our in-home dog sitter during a two-week trip overseas, and we were so fortunate to find her. Our dog instantly bonded with Jemima, so we knew she’d be happy during our time away. She sent us regular photos and videos of our dog’s activities. Jemima also helped diagnose and treat our dog’s nausea over a couple of nights, which promptly got resolved. She’s a true dog lover and was super attentive. She took our dog on walks, spent time with her outside in the grass, played tug-of-war, and otherwise kept our dog entertained throughout the visit. We’ll definitely be booking Jemima again!”
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
“Amber did an extremely wonderful job taking care of our dog! She also communicated well throughout the week, and went above and beyond with regard to keeping our home clean while she was here for the week. We returned and it was if she hadn’t been there. We will definitely use her again!”
“Denver was great, and we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. He took pictures, gave updates, and made sure the dogs weren’t chewing up anything they weren’t supposed to. When we got home, the dogs were all relaxed and happy. Thank you, Denver!”
“Lauren is great! She kept in constant communication with us. She was prompt for both our meet and greet and stay. We felt very comfortable with her, especially with our dogs and their high needs. Definitely recommend Lauren!”
“Nishell, communicated really well. Sent updates and pictures throughout her stay. The pups seemed to like her. It was great to be able to go out of town and not worry about the dogs.”
“Elyssa did an amazing job with my fur babies. My dog even needed to go to the vet while I was gone, and she worked with me to get her seen and cared for asap. I'll definitely rebook her whenever I travel and would recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I have one puppy and she is working on becoming service dog who will love more friends to play with I work part time as a delivery driver. I will have plenty of time to walk and spend time with your babies including taking them to the park and baths. I will watch your babies in my house which I prefer because I have two small child. One who needs to have a schedule and does not do well with random people.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Jackie’s care for our dog, Maggie! She’s been absolutely amazing—sending us regular updates, taking Maggie on long walks, and providing such loving attention. Maggie adores her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such great hands. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Jackie, for going above and beyond!”
About: I currently have a 2 year old great pyrenees mix and I have had dogs in my household ever since I can remember. Over the years I have taken my own dogs for walks, house sat dogs for friends and family, and offered to provide care to anyone that needed it for their pets. I love animals and I will treat your dog(s) like they're my own! I currently have a great pyrenees mix, age 2 and he is the sweetest boy. I am highly inclined with medium and large breed dogs, but love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I work remote so I am able to spend all the time needed with your fur baby. I have a crate if needed for sleep or some time to decompress but I allow my dog on the couch and to sleep where he wants and the same for your dog. I am able to let the dogs out in the morning, during my afternoon break, and during the evening as well. I always have an afternoon break Monday though Friday. I treat a clients dog as if they are my own. We have a yard at the house but it's easier for me to stop at a client's house for their pets.
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job caring for our two pets while we were away on vacation! We could tell our big Great Pyrenees and older kitten enjoyed their time with her and she treated them with love and gave them lots of exercise!”
About: Ive been a pet parent for my entire life. Moving to Tennessee, I dreamed of having a hobby farm. Animals are very special to our family and also very therapeutic. My human children are in school full time, and I want to keep myself busy. I am also a caregiver for the seniors in our community. I understand how important exercise and interaction is for our pets and I would love to help with any needs you require. We live on 5 acres in Hendersonville. We have a fenced in area for our farm animals and partial fenced in area for our dogs. I am available for care in your home. Just reach out and we can come up with a plan.
About: caring for animals has always been something I’ve genuinely enjoyed.I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow care instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident while they’re away, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s needs. Schedule I’m currently a college student and attend classes during the mornings. Because I don’t have another job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s care. How I Care for Pets As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. I currently care for dogs, cats, and a rabbit, so I’m familiar with the different needs and routines each species requires. When caring for clients’ pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every pet has unique preferences and needs. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Sarabeth was very knowledgeable and did a great job with Jasmine and Jasper and left the house just as it was when we left. She even came earlier than planned at the last moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Cottontown is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $129 per night.

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 Cottontown 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 Cottontown 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 Cottontown 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.

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.
