“Sarah is always reliable and this trip, even though she got extremely sick, she kept us in the loop and received support instead of leaving our very sick cat who needs a house sitter instead of just drop ins. It was very scary to be far away with no backups, but Sarah hung in there and took care of our baby despite how sick she was.”
“Claire is a wonderful petsitter for our 1.5 year old golden retriever. She’s very personable to work with, considerate in her communications and highly conscientious about our pup’s needs, schedules and preferences. Both our pup and our home were well cared for while we were away.”
About: I am a clinical social worker for children and young adults! My love for animals came from being raised in an animal loving home. I worked in a private vet right after college and have not only prior knowledge from my own family animals but hands on experience in the fields. About 5 years ago I adopted my cat Athena. Im the type of care giver who will make sure not only are your fur babies are loved and safe but that their owners have the sense of security that their babies are in good hands with frequent updates. I have been working with Rover since I was 18 years old! This was my job as a student that I very much loved! Now that it’s been 10 years in the business this job is a passion of mine that fulfills a purpose and only bring me more joy and happiness. I have a job that is flexible with my hours and allows me to work for my clients for hours that are needed. I book clients that I know I will be able to provide exact care they are expecting and asking for. Animals are like children, you always have to be vigilant. Every animal is different, needing specific care that is geared to them. I make sure my clients get attention, love and care.
“Simone was very attentive and understanding of my dogs timid behavior and her routine for walks and potty breaks. She provided me with pictures and updates when I asked and was a great person to help take care of Reese during my trip out of town.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and home during a May 2026 trip to the beach. Her communications were outstanding and upon return, I could tell that my puppy had been well cared for. I would give Brooke the highest possible rating , 5 STARS for sure. Mitch G.”
“We could not be more pleased with how wonderful Paula was with our German Shepherd! We highly recommend Paula to anyone who needs an a pet sitter! Not too many people I know can handle a big German Shepherd and she did an amazing job, taking such good care of him! Our boy Maui loved her from the moment he met her and that says a lot, because if Maui doesn't like you, he will let you know! Paula also keeps you updated daily with professional looking photos, she has an eye for photography as well! What a relief it was for us to be able to find Paula, as we are newer to the area and do not have family close by to help. I would give her a 100 stars!”
“Shelly was amazing house sitting for my 2 cats and dog! She sent me daily pics and updates. She is a true animal lover and really takes extra care and attention in caring for them! We felt very comfortable in knowing our pets were being well taken care of! We feel lucky we found her!”
“Tara was great with the dogs. She was great with communication, sending pictures and letting me know exactly what was going on with my dogs at all times. Tara left our house better than we left it. I would definitely recommend.”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”
“Rachael was incredible! This was my first time using Rover for house sitting and Rachael made me feel really comfortable from the start. She kept me updated and spent more than enough time with my babies. My dogs loved her! Will definitely be using again :)”
“Our pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.”
“Ziggy loved Shelby! She was wondering, very trustworthy and took wonderful care of our 13 week old baby! She sent loads of pictures and updates and did tons of fun stuff with him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Chris was the absolute best! Our babies loved him. He took great care of them and left our place clean and tidy the way we had it. We will definitely rebook with him in the future! We can’t thank him enough!”
“Hailey was absolutely wonderful!!! She kept us up to date on all of the fun and snuggles our pets were having while we were away. We look forward to having her come back to watch our little ones.”
“Lexi was amazing! Ozzy is very particular about who watches her but she gave Lexi no problems at all! She gave me updates and photos of Ozzy throughout the days which I very much appreciate as someone who doesn’t like to leave their dog behind and misses her very much. Lexi was also able to work with me last minute as I had a previous sitter fall through very last minute. I would recommend Lexi to anyone who needs a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Goodlettsville
Amanda was great! She was able to help us out last minute, she sent lots of photos and updates, and our dog loved her! We also came home to a house so well taken care of, you wouldn’t even know she was here! We’ll definitely be utilizing Amanda’s services again in the future.
Victoria was honestly the best! She was so intentional with keeping me updated while we were gone and she took such good care of our two pups for us. It definitely was comforting to know that they were well taken care of and loved while we were away. I would definitely want to use Victoria again in the future!
Maddie was such a great sitter!! We were able to connect before the sit so she could meet the pups. She sent me daily updates and pics and Leo and London look like they had a great time. She was dependable and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Maddie and I hope I travel soon so i can use her again. ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abby was wonderful with my dog, Angel! She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing Angel was in such good hands while I was away. Abby kept me updated and treated Angel like her own. I couldn’t be happier and would definitely book with her again!
Daniela was a wonderful sitter! This was my first time using Rover for my dog Jelly and I couldn't be happier with my experience! Daniela stayed overnight for 5 days while I was out of town and was super communicative sending pictures and updates every day. She's definitely a dog lover, cuddling with Jelly every day and playing with her! I could tell Jelly was immediately comfortable with her and as a nice bonus she was tired out from her fun time when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Daniela to anyone in need of a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Goodlettsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goodlettsville on Rover is $54.39 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 2,406 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goodlettsville. 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 Goodlettsville 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 Goodlettsville 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 Goodlettsville 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.
