“Teresa consistently goes above and beyond and it shows. She treats Wrigley like her own, buying him treats, even giving him a bath and cleaning out his ear bc he was itchy. My house was spotless and my laundry folded on my return. She always keeps me updated and has such a great attitude about things. I highly recommend.”
“Kristen did a great job looking after our girl. She would check in with me and let us know how our dog was doing. And if she had any additional questions, she would also reach out to me. I would hire her again in the future.”
“Penny kept our 15-week-old lab puppy and cat at our house for four days while we were out of town. Our pup is definitely in the puppy phase and is a real challenge to keep out of trouble. Penny did a great job in maintaining the consistency of his schedule and continued his training while we were away. I'm sure this was over the top from the normal sitting arrangements. She keeps a daily diary of what she and our pets did so she does an outstanding job of communicating. This was our first experience with having someone stay in our home and it worked out great. Penny is reliable, great with our animals and a great house guest. We will definitely rebook when the need arises and would highly recommend her to watch your pets.”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
“We appreciate that Lexi could come stay with our pups at our motel room while we attended a concert for a few hours. She did a great job and sent pics to us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone in/staying in the Spokane area. Thank you Lexi!”
About: Hi! I’m a PA student in Knoxville with over 8 years of experience dog sitting and house sitting. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and outgoing, and I love spending time outdoors, so your dog can count on plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to give you complete peace of mind through dependable care, regular updates, and lots of photos. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I’m a full-time PA student in Farragut and attend class Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. I do have a lunch break, so if you’re nearby, I’m happy to stop by for a midday potty break or walk. My evenings and weekends are very flexible since I typically study from home, making me available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and plenty of quality time with your pet! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable, compassionate hands.
“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Dana is AMAZING. She took care of our two cats for a week and they were treated like royalty. Dana went above and beyond to send photos and video, clean their litter, and even took out the trash and left flowers at the end of care.”
“Jack did a great job watching our dog Bella for a week over Thanksgiving! He provided us with pictures and gave us updates throughout the week. Would book with him again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve always been a fan of animals since a very young age and they tend to like me a lot so I’m hoping that you would give me a chance. I can make time for the animals before or after work, and I will be sure to spend time with them and enrich their lives. I will make sure that your pet feels like a part of the family, and if I am in your home, I will make sure that I treat it with respect.
About: I have cared for dogs personally for the majority of my life. I also gained professional experience working at a doggie daycare where I got to play and cuddle with a variety of dogs! At the doggie daycare, I learned some helpful methods on how to handle and evaluate a dog’s temperament for a group setting. I’m currently working part-time and am available on the weekends from 12 pm till 11 pm! Due to having classes during the week, my best time to work is the weekends. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and live just down the hill from a dog park. My roommate also has a dog to keep yours company!
About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.
“Great communication and did such a good job with the furry babies. She played with them constantly and they were so happy and healthy when we got home. She also cleaned up before we left which we don’t expect but always appreciate so much. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age such as walking neighbors pups and in the past 2 years overnight sitting dogs. I’m a loving, honest college student looking for extra jobs! I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! My availability is pretty much open all the time! However your pups prefer their daily routine do be I insure I stick to that! I make sure they are as comfortable as possible with a new face around!
About: I’ve grown up having dogs my whole life and always enjoy being around them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and giving them love! I currently work part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m usually available some mornings and some afternoons and will work with you to find a time that works best. I always walk my dogs on a leash and make sure they are safe and comfortable. They love playing outside, and I enjoy giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and love.
About: I have experience with many kinds of animals. I myself have my 13 year old dog Royal, a 11 year old leopard print gecko, and two hermit crabs who are about to turn 6 years old from their time in my care. I also regularly pet sit for my family and friends. A few examples are my friend who owns two Dobermans. My cousins 2 cats. Or occasionally my Mimi’s farm to feed and care for her 8 dogs, her cat, and a donkey and a horse. I don’t have a set schedule at this moment. I am very open, and can do pretty last minute bookings if I do not have other obligations. I unfortunately cannot provide in home services at this time, however in clients homes I will follow whatever rules, schedules and procedures that are given to me. I am also a very outdoorsy and energetic person so playing or being up will not be a problem.
“Madeline arrived on time and took great care of my pets. She spent time with them and cuddled with my dogs. I received pictures of them while she was staying with them. My house was left tidy and pets were happy. I would love for Madeline to house/pet sit for me any time.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. Some breeds that I’ve worked with include Great Danes, Pit Bulls, Border Collies, a Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and more! I have experience in dog training, positive reinforcement, aggressive or reactive dogs, and senior care, more specifically canine cognitive dysfunction (dementia), incontinence, and paralysis. Rest assured, I am prepared and honored to take on any task to ensure your fur baby is comfortable and safe. Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.
“Amber was absolutely amazing. I truly can’t say enough good things about her! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. It was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making sure Reese was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. While we were away, Amber went above and beyond by sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing Reese so relaxed and clearly living her best life gave us complete peace of mind. On top of that, Amber added thoughtful touches that really stood out. She even offered to water our plants, and we came home to a clean house and fresh flowers. That level of care and attention is rare and so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Amber again. She exceeded every expectation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 655 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Friendsville. 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 Friendsville 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 Friendsville 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 Friendsville 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.
