She took great care of Bingo, sending us pictures & updates on a regular basis. we were able to fully enjoy our 10 day trip, knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. We will definitely want Brooke back the next time we leave town.”

“Kayla was an awesome dog sitter! She stayed overnight with our two pups, and they loved her! Kayla sent great photos and updates, and had great communication throughout her stay with our pups. We will definitely book her to sit for us again!”
“Meredith always does a great job with our 4 dogs. When I come home the dogs are happy and act like I never left which is a great thing. We will continue to use her on a regular basis!”
“Savanah did an amazing job with our quirky pets! In fact, our normally anxious dog loved her so much, he even got the “zoomies” when she stopped by to return the garage door opener after we got back. She is calm, confident, and responsible. It meant so much to us not to have to worry about our fur babies while we were gone.”
“Amy was so pleasant and easy to work with! We loved getting pictures with updates from her during our vacation. Our home was clean, our plants were thriving, and most importantly, our girl was happy and well taken care of! Thanks Amy!!”
“Martha was super friendly, super communicative and I didn't have to worry one bit. She took care of all of the fur babies and the house while I was gone for a week in Europe. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats so it's no easy task. She's very sweet, polite and professional. I highly recommend using her for any pet needs!”
“Always takes great care of our pups! They love her, she sends just the right amount of updates, and the house is always spotless when we get home!”
“Ruby was fantastic with my dogs. It was easy to meet with her and explain their system and she took great care of them without a hitch. I came back to very happy boys. I would absolutely trust Ruby with my dogs and house again.”
“Brittany took excellent care of our dogs. Upon return, the house was neat and cleaned up. One of our dogs loved her so much, he was visibly disappointed when we returned...😆 We will be using her again!”
About: I have 4 years of experience as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was trained to care for dogs of various behavioral habits and energy levels. I also have experience caring for the pets of family friends with dogs and cats ranging from seniors with medicinal needs to high energy puppies. I'm comfortable and have cared for dogs of any size. I'm a recent college graduate with plans to start graduate school in the fall so I am free any times of the week for this summer. When entering a client's home, I will take special care to respect their property as well as their animals. I will pay close attention to a dog's behavior in their environment and work to make them as comfortable as possible with a new person.
“Our dogs like her better than us! She was a remarkable friend—she immediately felt like family and I feel 1000% better about any future travel knowing I have someone like Montserrat to watch our home and our fur babies. Love, love, love!!! 10/5 stars”
“I entrusted Ami with my fur babies while my husband and I went out of town for a few days and she was wonderful!! Ami took great care of my babies and sent me updates throughout her stay at our home with them. I would have her watch them again and again if the need arises she is absolutely fantastic and very sweet! She went above and beyond while she stayed and my house was exactly as we left it. Ami was even kind enough to bring in our trash bins once trash was picked up. Thank you again Ami I know I left them in good hands and it made my time away so much less stressful knowing they had you to keep them company 😊”
“Dimecia was wonderful with my girl Darcy! She came for a meet and greet before even on a last minute request! She sent pictures of her visit and updated me about my girl. She spent time snuggling and giving belly rubs in the evening just like my baby loves! I could tell Dracy felt the love and made a friend for life! I will definitely be using Dimecia again in the future .”
“Ty did an amazing job! We have quite a house full of dogs and cats and she was able to manage all of them beautifully. All my dogs couldn’t get enough love and attention from her while she was at our home. Ty has a natural gift when it comes to caring for animals and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone needing a house sitter for your fur babies!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Ariel was amazing with my pets this weekend! She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by helping care for my goldfish after his automatic feeder broke the night before we left and I didn’t have time to replace it. It was clear all my pets were well cared for and happy the entire time. I would definitely book with Ariel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Riley was amazing with our dogs, Phin and Cruiser! She cared for them over 4 days, sent regular photo updates, and made sure they got plenty of playtime and attention. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups. Super reliable and clearly loves dogs—highly recommend!
Aeriel was absolutely amazing with Isis! She treated her like family and kept me updated with pictures and messages the whole time, which really put me at ease. It was clear Isis was happy and comfortable with her, and that means the world to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — I’d 100% recommend Aeriel to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their fur baby like it’s their own.
Anna is a fantastic pet sitter. Our four fur babies were in good hands with her. Our dog, Sasha, especially loved being with Anna and very likely did not miss us at all! She was responsive, sent pics and videos, and took care of everything for 10 days. We would love to have her pet sit for us again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Germantown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 497 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Germantown. 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 Germantown 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 Germantown 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 Germantown 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.

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.
