“Emily did a great job with our 3 Cockers and they can be a handful. We received pictures everyday and they looked worn out after. We will definitely work with Emily again.”
“Amanda is excellent with our Shiloh. Highly recommend her. We have used her twice and have had and excellent experience both times. Will definitely use her again if she is available as she books up quickly.”
“Susan did an outstanding job pet sitting for our 3 dogs and 5 cats for an overnight! She was very communicative with us and extremely responsive. The house looked great when we got home. Highly recommend!”
“Madeline was a great cat and dog sitter. We had never left our dog Henry with someone he did not know, and he is a rescue with baggage about being deserted. We are grateful to her for working through the problems he has and dealing with my stress about leaving him. She did a great job warming up to him and won him over! She stayed the course and after a few days, he was completely comfortable with her. Our cat needs medicating daily and she handled this beautifully! Our house was clean when we arrived home and well taken care of. We definitely want to have Madeline as our sitter again.”
“Constance is AMAZING! She took our pups on so many walks and sent a ton of videos. We felt so comfortable leaving our gang with her. Not only was she great at communication, she left our house cleaner than she found it. Absolutely will only be using Constance from now on!”
About: I grew up with dogs, mostly border collies and poodles, and one of the poodles is 15 now. I understand dogs need mental stimulation, activity, and older dogs need gentle care, frequent outside potty breaks, and specific food. Taking care of animals, especially dogs, is one of the only times where I can't think of anywhere else to be, or anything else I need to be doing. I'm currently a freelance writer/editor, so I can work from anywhere, and I create my own schedule when it comes to editing projects and clients. In my own home, there are two border collies and one old poodle. I do a lot of obedience training with the border collies. I also spend a lot of time with them outside so they get enough exercise and play. For the older poodle, I and my other family members, make her specific meals that keep her sensitive teeth and tummy in mind. She also needs to pee on the hour, so I always make sure I'm attentive to her schedule. I love my dogs and I love knowing their different quirks and personalities. I'm very good with other people's pets, especially dogs and cats.
About: Friends and family have depended on me since i was 13 to look after their fur babies, as well as taking care of my own my whole life! I have experience with all different breeds and ages as well as medication administration. I work as a hairstylist and regularly get off around 3/4 when i work. I have a semi inconsistent schedule and love to help where i can! I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while caring for them in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, reliable hands!
“Jessica did a fabulous job. I left detailed instructions and she accomplished each like a pro. This was only the second time I’ve used Rover, and she was gracious and welcoming to show me the ropes. She gave me valuable and insightful feedback when I asked. My dog is high energy, and she kept him busy went on, walks and played with him. I arrived back home to a happy doggie I will definitely book with Jessica again as she feels like part of my family.”
“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, and I bring a calm, intuitive approach to every pet I meet. I cared for my senior dog until he was 17 years old, so I’m very familiar with the slower routines, medication needs, and gentle patience older pets require. I currently have two six-month-old kittens and a senior cat at home, which means I’m comfortable with everything from rambunctious baby energy to the quiet, steady care that aging cats need. I’ve also cared for blind cats and deaf dogs, as well as pets with mobility or sensory challenges. I’m great at adjusting my pace, creating safe paths, and using sound and touch cues to help them feel secure. Honestly, I’ve been obsessed with animals since I was a kid. I used to carry a dog encyclopedia everywhere I went, and that curiosity has turned into a lifelong love of learning about different breeds, personalities, and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of experience, gentleness, and the ability to tune in to what each individual pet needs, whether that’s extra patience, structure, or simply a quiet, comforting presence. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s needs—walks, meals, playtime, or quiet time—while keeping everything consistent and reliable. When I’m caring for an animal, my priority is creating a calm, safe, and predictable environment. I’m patient, observant, and always let each pet set the pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I follow your routines exactly as you lay them out: feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise habits, enrichment activities, and any house rules you rely on. I’m very detail-oriented, so things like secure doors, gates, and safe spaces are always double-checked. Cleanliness and comfort matter to me, too. I keep water fresh, living areas tidy, and make sure your pet has a peaceful space where they can relax and feel secure. I also communicate regularly so you always know how your pet is doing. Overall, I aim to provide steady, reliable care that makes your pet feel safe and understood, and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have cared for my family and friends dogs and cats ever since I turned 16 and got my drivers license. Whether they went out of town, or just needed someone to come and let their fur baby out and play with them, I made myself available. My goal is for your pets to always be healthy and happy! I also have a passion for dog training, especially puppies, and have some experience in that field of work. I strive to always go the extra mile when it comes to their care and well being! I know all too well the stress that accompanies going out of town or leaving your pet in the care of someone other than you. That is why I want to offer my services in order to alleviate that stress. Each day you are gone I will send you updates and pictures of your fur baby. I’m always happy to be flexible and work with pet owners to accommodate their needs whenever possible! I generally prefer to accept bookings during the week, as I like to keep my weekends open to spend time with friends and family. However, I’m always willing to communicate and see what works best for everyone! I believe pets deserve lots of love, attention, and enrichment throughout the day! With my own dogs, I make sure they get daily walks where they can explore and sniff all the fun smells, as well as trips to the dog park to play fetch and run around. They get plenty of potty breaks throughout the day and a yummy breakfast to start their mornings. I treat my clients' pets with that same level of care and attention. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of affection, and keeping up with any training routines or specific instructions their owners provide. I also make sure cats get plenty of attention, companionship, and affection in whatever way they enjoy. My goal is always to make every animal feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away!
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Sarah and Jeff are exceptional dog sitters! I tend to get a little anxious about being apart from my dog Blue, but I felt super at ease because Sarah was so caring and so communicative. They went above and beyond to take Blue on adventures, give her love and attention, and were very gracious about her quirks too! Very grateful and would recommend 100%!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hendersonville
Laura was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Kona while we were away and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, kept everything tidy, and even cleaned up before we returned. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean house! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!
Mallory took such good care of our doggies and our house while we were away! She was very kind and understanding about our crazy, cuddly poochies and managed to have a good time with them. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week, which helped a lot with missing them. Definitely hoping to hire her again in the future!
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Caitlyn! From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how our dogs were doing, which meant the world to us. It was obvious they were in the best care while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, keeping everything clean and organized and even handling the house during an unexpected blizzard. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets, look no further. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Olivia was excellent. She took care of my three dogs and they seem to really love her. She gave them all a good walk in my neighborhood which has very steep hills . She was responsive, sent pictures of my pups. She came on Christmas Eve last minute.Definitely will use her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Hendersonville is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $105 per night.

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 Hendersonville 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 Hendersonville 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 Hendersonville 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.

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.
