#1, Megan is a caring individual, weather concerning my Sadie or myself. She showed genuine interest from our first meeting. Sadie, on our return was content and calm, the house was spotless and all in order. We will defiantly use Megan again and again!

We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!

About: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!

We have been lucky to be able to get scheduled with Alex for a couple events so far and another coming up. Zero anxiety when we are away because we know the pups are in beyond capable hands. Thanks, Alex!!! Zep and LeeLoo had a ball!

About: As a veterinary technician at an ER clinic, I care for hundreds of dogs and cats each year and have hands-on experience with medication administration, injections, diabetic pets, seizure disorders, special-needs animals, post-operative care, anxious or fearful pets, training staff on protocols, and teaching fellow fosters as well as adopters on animal care and behavior. I am also an accomplished foster who has hosted everything from queen cats nursing kittens to weaned kittens, puppies, dogs, and senior animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities and I approach every animal with fear-free handling! Lifelong animal lover and former small business owner, I've spent years working with animals of all kinds through veterinary medicine, 4-H, fostering, and therapeutic horseback riding programs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me monitor pets whenever I'm away briefly. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and individualized attention. Located near nature trails and a large enclosed outdoor area, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your furry family members can relax, play, and feel right at home. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to take breaks as needed throughout my work days. I do not work on weekends, so I am always at home to attend to the critters! I am also available holidays. With experience caring for orphaned animals daily, including those requiring medications and specialized care, I prioritize your pet's health, safety, and happiness. My flexible schedule, attentive monitoring, and pet-friendly space with enrichment activities, cozy resting areas, and nearby outdoor access ensure your beloved companion receives compassionate, professional care while you're away. 🐾

About: In addition to pet sitting, I also offer a convenient pet transportation service—perfect for safely getting your pet to and from grooming appointments, vet visits, or even a fun day out. It’s all part of my commitment to providing full-service care for your furry family member. As a special thank you, the first client to complete 7 consecutive days of pet sitting with us will receive a free pet transport and free grooming service on us! Your pet gets pampered—and you get peace of mind. As a dedicated pet sitter and loving pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like family. I prioritize safety above all else, making sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you're away. With strong relationships with local groomers and vets, I’m well-connected and prepared for anything your pet may need. I offer personalized attention, dependable service, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in trusted hands. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because it’s not just a job—it’s my lifestyle. As a pet owner myself, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks. Adding another furry friend to the mix fits right in, and I’m always happy to give them the same love, attention, and structure I give my own dog. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with access to a secure backyard for play and potty breaks. I also take them on nearby trail walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They’ll have companionship from my friendly miniature schnauzer, Luna, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely—meals, walks, and favorite activities—to help them feel secure and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect.

Yordanos is so sweet & friendly, my dogs who are very aloof were comfortable with her almost instantly. She gave me constant updates with photos and kept my house nice and clean during her stay. When we got back from out of town, I needed an extra day for someone to watch the dogs, and re-booked her right away. Best dog sitter!!!

About: Hi! I’m Madi — a lifelong animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a senior cat and a dog, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, routines, and care needs that pets can have.I’m especially comfortable with cats (including shy or senior cats), but I also enjoy spending time with dogs who love walks, playtime, and outdoor time. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend meaningful time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines — whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more time with your pets I’m caring for rather than rushing through visits. It also means I’m able to check in during the day and be attentive to routines, feeding times, and any changes in behavior. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules closely, keep litter boxes clean, and spend time observing behavior to make sure cats are relaxed and healthy while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details like secure doors, safe spaces, and minimizing stress. I also work remotely, which gives me flexibility to spend meaningful time with pets during visits rather than rushing through tasks. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fentress

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Fentress on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fentress. 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 Fentress 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 Fentress 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 Fentress 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fentress. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
