“Olivia did a great job caring for our dog over the weekend while we went out of town. She came by for a meet and greet the weekend before, and stayed in touch before and during our trip. Olivia arrived on time and kept us updated with texts and pictures while we were away. We will definitely trust our fur baby to her care again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!
“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”
“Taylor is absolutely fantastic! We can’t recommend him enough. He’s great with communication, while also taking excellent care of our spirited pups. We’re thrilled to have him as our pup sitter :)”
About: I am back from a year long deployment overseas! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and grew up at a dog rescue. We have four of our own, a Labrador, a Goldendoodle, and a Blue Heeler and corgi, They love other animals! I am currently on leave right now so I am home all day other than when I am running errands so the animals usually chill with me. I have a huge fenced-in yard. The dogs can access as much play time as they need outside water, and toys galore and we can't forget about the sticks.
“Naomi was fantastic and took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were traveling. Kept everything very clean and neat highly recommend her for any time you need to travel and want to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of”
“Haley & her boyfriend Jaiden were so great from the beginning. We had a different rover cancel the night before our trip, and Haley & Jaiden went above and beyond to make sure our pups were taken care of. They accommodated our last minute request and provided updates while we were gone. Our house was well cared for, and the dogs absolutely loved them both- even my dog who is very picky! I highly recommend using them and would absolutely book again!”
About: In 2020 me and my family started fostering dogs. In that time we fostered over 10 and made sure they got to go to good homes! In that time we also ended up adopting one of the dogs as well. Since then I have always loved being around them. I am an active person and like to be outside and go on walks/runs. I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee. I would be able to fit in a pet care schedule well with my time. I currently only have one class on Monday and Wednesday and I have 3 on Tuesday and Thursday leaving my fridays wide open. Even without a pet right now I go on 2 walks/runs a day so bringing along a buddy to do so would be no problem! I know for pets especially being around a new person can be very stressful so I always think it is a good idea to meet the dog before actually agreeing to pet sit or talk it on walks to make sure that we are familiar with each other.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.
About: I have hands on experience working with animals and been around dogs my entire life! I’m confident in handling all types of personalities in animals. I’ve also helped in basic training with dogs. I have been a volunteer at oak ridge animal shelter in the past and also assisted k9 training here in Clinton, Tn. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and at home in good hands. I have taught my own dog how to sit, roll over, jump through my arms, speak, sit pretty, and spin I am still working on more commands. I would like to become a dog trainer in the future and have always loved dogs! I’m currently a nanny for a 4 year old who goes to school Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 am- 1:00pm. I pickup and drop off so i would have plenty of time throughout the day to stop by and care for your animal! I will follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and are stress free. In a clients home I will make sure to respect their space and follow all instructions. I can provide updates and pictures of your pets throughout the day as needed! If we are going on a walk I will make sure to keep them safe as if they were my own.
“Jill stayed with Tanner & Lucy for 2 nights while we were away. My husband was having surgery and we were stressed and nervous about the operation. We didn’t have to worry about Tanner and Lucy. Knowing Jill was with them gave us one less thing to worry about. This is the second time Jill has stayed with them. She takes very good care of our pups AND our home. We have already booked Jill for 4 nights next month! A++++ ❤️🐾🐾”
“Kristen took great care of Jack and Callie playing lots of fetch. We came back to a happy dog and cat and a house that looked like we never left. We will definitely book with Kristen again.”
“Shannon was great with our dogs and very communicative with us throughout the entire experience. One of our dogs is a little apprehensive with new people and he did a great job giving him time to warm up. He was also a wonderful house guest - left everything very clean, helped by watering the plants, taking out the trash, etc. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Alex was AMAZING! She stepped up and covered an eight day booking last minute when the original sitter cancel two days before our trip. She updated us with pictures several times a day. Our house was cleaned pups were happy when we got home. They liked her so much they keep going to the guest room door looking for her! We will definitely rebook her and give her the highest recommendation!!!!”
“Sarah was great with our 3 dogs, 2 birds and a turtle! She sent lots of pictures while we were away and gave regular updates on how everyone was doing. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and gave the dogs plenty of outside time every day. We would definitely use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Heiskell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 636 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Heiskell. 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 Heiskell 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 Heiskell 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 Heiskell 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
