“Kim did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. She took the time to come out and meet them beforehand and get the dogs at ease with her. She stayed in our house with the dogs as they are very spoiled and love to have a sleeping buddy. She is very accommodating to individual schedules and will work with the client to give them what they need for their animals. All of the special requests we needed for our dogs she fulfilled with a cheerful disposable. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again..”
“Susan was wonderful. She was very prompt, took great care of our dog, kept us updated and provided photos while we were out. We highly recommend her and hope to be able to use her pet sitting services again!”

“She stayed at our house while we were away. She was at house with the dogs when she was scheduled to be there. She sent a picture and left our house in order. Seemed to genuinely care for our dogs”

“Absolutely fantastic! She took care of my fur babies while I attended a birthday party. Highly recommend her! Super calm personality keeps the dogs relaxed. They were happy and worn out when she left. If you need”

About: As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide plenty of attention, cuddles, exercise, and play throughout the day. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and secure while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. My schedule allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. I am fully available Monday through Friday for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and pet sitting. I can sit for your pets up to 7 days a week if needed. I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and affection they need. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each pet’s regular feeding, potty, and sleep schedule to help them feel comfortable and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and ensure their pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Karen has stayed with our pups several times including a 3 week stay. They love her! Sometimes I wonder if they even notice that we're gone. Karen took care of our home as well. Everything was perfect when we returned.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love and attention to their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or calm senior dogs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and give your pet plenty of attention and supervision. I’m flexible with scheduling and available most weekdays and weekends. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of care. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment complex with safe walking areas and green spaces nearby for regular walks and exercise. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize leash safety and supervised outdoor time. My home is calm and structured, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. I can crate if needed and will always treat your pet with love, patience, and responsibility
About: I've had pets my whole life and currently have 5 rescues, two of which are seniors. I'd love the chance to help out on days that you are busy by checking in and or walking your fur baby. I currently help my husband with his business but I spend most of my time with my 5 dogs and a few reptiles. I love them all dearly I can stop by for a check in and walk and give your pet all kinds of love and treats if allowed. Im available pretty much any day.
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”

About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
About: I’ve worked with dogs for many years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
About: I love dogs and I have lots of love to give your dog will get cuddles and doggie biscuits. I am a stay at home house wife so your babies will never be alone and I go to school from home. We will go on walks and take naps and have loads of fun. I look forward to being your doggies friend! I can brush them and bath them if you would like. I have dog sit alot. I wanted to do sog sitting now because I recently lost my baby to cancer she was old and she was a great Dane she was 16 so I understand the care for big needy dogs. I have also had little dogs. Your babies are in good hands!

About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.

“Leigh did an amazing job house sitting for our 2 dogs! She provided daily updates and photos. She left the house clean and tidy when we returned. Will definitely ask her to come back!”

About: As a student studying Bsc. Animal Science this isn't just any job for me. It's a job in which I can improve on my profession while doing something I absolutely love. I work part-time, which allows me to offer flexible and attentive pet care. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, as I can dedicate specific times for feeding, walking, and playing with your pets. My schedule is structured to ensure I provide consistent, high-quality care, adapting to your pet's needs and maintaining their routine while I’m on the job. In your home or mine, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for your pets. At my place, I ensure a pet-friendly space with secure, clean areas and plenty of enrichment. In your home, I maintain your pet's routine and surroundings while being vigilant about their safety and comfort. Whether at home or in yours, I create a secure, loving environment tailored to your pet's needs, building trust through consistent, compassionate care.
“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”

“Jataelynn was an amazing puppy sitter. She made us feel comfortable about leaving our 3 dogs with and took such great care of them. She communicated throughout the stay and asked questions, as needed. We would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to book her in the future!”

About: Growing up I’ve always owned dogs and I love taking care of my own dog who has high needs. I love walking dogs and always enjoy seeing new dogs roaming about. I have a very open schedule, and that is why I was ready to start with Rover to kind of control my own scheduling. My week is open for plenty of dog walks or dropping visits for pets. I am excited to start working with you. I have one dog and two cats. I walk my dog at least five times a day. She is a terrier and needs extra exercise. I have two cats who are indoor. I change their litter box weekly and scoop it daily. Keeping a good hygiene for cats is extremely important for your home so I value that very much. My pets names are Oreo for my dog Millie and pumpkin on my cats.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gatlinburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 342 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gatlinburg. 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 Gatlinburg 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 Gatlinburg 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 Gatlinburg 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.
