“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.”
“Amanda was great and worked around my specific requests with timing and all of my dogs personalities. She sent updates and pictures and never delayed in response. My dogs seemed to like her and be comfortable with her so we will be booking for future stays. Thanks so much, Amanda.”
“Meredith is the best! She stayed with our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and brought us so much peace of mind. She sent regular pictures and updates, took special care with our anxious pup, and left the house in better shape than she found it. Highly recommend her for any pup needs!”
“Nishell, communicated really well. Sent updates and pictures throughout her stay. The pups seemed to like her. It was great to be able to go out of town and not worry about the dogs.”
About: Honestly, I don't think I've gone more than a few months of my life without a pet around. I grew up with dogs and have since lived with and looked after dobermans, beagles, doodles, pointers, and pitbulls, amongst others, so a big, strong, or stubborn dog doesn't throw me off, and neither does a nervous first-timer. I've also lived with cats for years, so I speak fluent "aloof but secretly obsessed with you." Along the way I've picked up a lot of the extra care stuff almost by accident: giving meds on a schedule, handling a dog with leash reactivity, sticking to a strict routine for an anxious pet, being patient with a senior pet who needs a little more help getting around. I'm not saying I've seen it all, but I've seen a lot, and I actually enjoy the pets who need a bit more thought and attention. They're usually the most rewarding ones to work with. I'm currently a full-time master's student, and don't currently have other part-time work, but I will communicate if that changes in the future. I do have evening classes that are online except for one. Otherwise, I'm available to spend time with your fur babies. I like sitting in your pet's own home when that's an option. It just tends to be less stressful for them than a strange new place. Every pet's a little different, so I'm not going in with a fixed routine; I'd rather figure out what actually works for your dog or cat and stick to that. If your pet needs meds, has a quirk, or gets nervous easily, that's not a dealbreaker for me, if anything, tell me more, because I want to get it right.
“Tavin was excellent with our dogs! He followed all of our directions about medicine and their quirky little preferences, and he was so thoughtful about everything. He sent regular updates about them, and asked questions when something wasn’t clear, which was great. We didn’t have to worry while we were away, because Tavin had everything under control. I genuinely think the dogs are missing him now that we are back home - They became great buddies and we’d love to have him again!”
“Stacie was great with our pups. She provided regular updates and made sure Bella was as comfortable as possible during a heavy rain storm. Would definitely recommend Stacie.”
“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.”
About: I have been a pet owner and sitter for many years! I just recently moved to the TN area and am getting started in my new home town. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, turtles, ducks, crawfish, and always open to learning more! I offer a nice welcoming home with safe and relaxing accommodations for your pets. My neighborhood has private sidewalks for walking dogs and I have a fully fenced backyard (it has a pool) with space to roam. My home offers 3 levels with gates, so I can accommodate any need to keep Pets separated if need be, and have two crates if needed. I’m comfortable offering medication to your pets if not too complex. I am a stay at home mom to three kiddos who are now all in school during the day which has left my schedule pretty open! My husband and I tag-team our nightly routines making my availably flexible most of the time to care for your pets. I treat my own pets like family members and they have a key role in our own family. This is how I plan to treat your pets, and offer them loving care, kindness, and patience.
“We love Brittany and the care that she provides for our pups while we are out of town! She is punctual and spends so much time loving on our pups. We never worry about the care that our pups are receiving while we are out of town when they are with Brittany. She even stayed late at our house to wait and make sure that our flight landed on time before she left our pups. We already rebooked our next trip with Brittany as soon as we knew we were going to be out of town again. Thanks Brittany for taking care of our pups and house-sitting while we are of town!”
“Claire was amazing! She made us feel comfortable leaving our pup, our pup loved her! Communication was timely and frequent. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“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!”
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
“Amazing!! She took very good care of my girls and they are a handful lol!! Great communication with calls/texts/videos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my place and babies were cared for 🥰.”
“Paula was so sweet with our cat and dog. My dog has separation issues with me, and after a day, he was coming out of his shell and following her around. Paula has great communication and sends nice quality photos of your pets during her stay. I felt very comfortable with Paula staying at our house and have already booked her for two more occasions!”

Meredith is the best! She stayed with our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and brought us so much peace of mind. She sent regular pictures and updates, took special care with our anxious pup, and left the house in better shape than she found it. Highly recommend her for any pup needs!
Wonderful, amazing, and compassionate. And that barely even scratches the surface of describing Madalyn. A part of me wants to leave a horrible review to keep her to myself, but that would be a disservice to the animals of our community. Madalyn took the best care of my animals which included a senior dog, an anxious puppy, and a defiant cat, and handled each unique personality with care. I will use her again and again and again.
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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goodlettsville on Rover is $55.5 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 2,381 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.

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.
