“We could not have been happier with Kayla! My wife and I took an international trip for more than a week and entrusted Kayla with both our home and our two large dogs, Ragnar and Rollo. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving everything in her care. Kayla was friendly, professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive to detail. She clearly loves dogs, and it showed in every interaction. We especially appreciated the photos and updates she sent, including some wonderful pictures of her playing with Ragnar and Rollo, making sure they got plenty of exercise, attention, and, of course, belly rubs. When you’re traveling overseas, peace of mind is priceless, and Kayla gave us exactly that. We never worried about the dogs or the house because we knew they were in capable hands. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely book Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Ragnar and Rollo clearly loved their time with her, and so did we.”
“Emma was fantastic with our dogs, our cats and our home. She is very sweet and great with the animals. We will definitely request her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Great care staying with our dogs. He kept us informed and even repaired a freeze handle I had neglected to fix before we left home. I will definitely use Mark in the future to take care of our pups.”
About: 26 yr Bridgemill Resident: To me our pets are a cherished part our family. I will always love being a dog and cat dad. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid. I am a 26 year Bridgemill resident, retired, that has pet sitter for many of my neighbors and friends. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves now and each has their own personality and needs and wants. You will find I am a very experienced in dog and cat care as well as other types of pets. To help the dog or cat mom, I always take pictures of your furry family member and send them to you while you are away. I can provide references if needed. I am currently retired and stay active with our pets daily with walks, camping trips and, playtime. Our dogs love camping. Miss Kitty and Kai are our cats and they will aways want the same or more time spent with them as with the dogs. The cats make sure we know this. Also still pet sitting for our neighbors and friends. My dogs have a fenced in yard, get their nightly walk to their favorite sniff spots. Our pets all get along and sometimes play with each other. I will always make sure to take multiple pictures of your pets and send them to you to keep up with their unique activities and to help you stay connected with them. I know you miss them as much as they miss you when you are gone, even if its only a trip to the grocery store.
“It was our first time having Karissa watch our girls. She was very attentive to our instructions and responded very quickly to any questions we had. She kept us apprised of how our girls were doing with lots of pictures. The girls seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely reach out to Karissa for future dog sitting needs.”
“Mollie was such a great overnight sitter for Maggie and Milo. She did great with checking in and was very responsible to our house. The dogs loved having a companion while we were away on vacation. Mollie was punctual with the dogs medicines and made sure they were well taken care of. While we were away Mollie took them to the dog park and gave them lots of cuddles as if they were her own. Mollie is a fantastic sitter and would so lucky to have her back again.”
“Summer is amazing! She took fabulous care of our three dogs (and our house) while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative, and all of our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Jackie was awesome. I have no doubt our dogs had a great time with her! She spent tons of time with them and managed our special needs dog very well. Will continue to book with her!”
“Cheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life but especially since i was 12. The past 3 years I worked as a Veterinary technician and got to learn how take care of and treat all pups. When dogs boarded at my old clinic I would feed, medicate (if needed), water, potty, and especially love on the pups. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very open for dog walks, pet sitting, etc. I do have one dog of my own who i take care of everyday! I personally would not board or pet sit at my house but can come over and walk/ pet sit your pups no problem! I can come over and feed, walk, play, and of course love on your pups.
“Patricia has been watching my babies off and on before she joined Rover. now it’s good to have a platform to schedule the times! I must say one of my dogs love her more than me hahaha. She treats them like her own babies! Given I have two large dogs it’s nice she has a huge yard for them To run around in and they feel like she’s their second mom. Could not say enough nice things about her and how happy my dogs are with her. I think they have so much fun they don’t want to come home 😔. 5 stars!”
“We booked Alyssa for house sitting over a few nights, and she took great care of our two dogs! She was consistent with communication, sent daily updates with plenty of photos and videos, and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. She was respectful of our home, followed our house rules, and stuck to the instructions we provided. Our boys were happy and well cared for. We’re grateful for her care and will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Avary was just amazing. She treated my girl dogs with great love and care. I will definitely use Avary again. My house looked amazing upon my return, I am so happy to have found Avary.”
“We had never left our senior dog with anyone except family, so I was very nervous using Rover. Trent did a great job with Ginger, getting her outside to potty and getting her to take her meds and eat her food. We will definitely use Trent again if we need someone to watch our sweet old lady!”
“Absolutely hands down the best care we could have asked for. The pups were treated like their own by Mai and Jonathan. Daily updates and photos of the dogs were sent. And they cleaned the house before they left. Which was absolutely not necessary but much appreciated. Highly recommend them, and will definitely use them in the future.”
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hickory Flat
Jenna took great care of our little senior Yorkie. We were very pleased to come home and find that our baby was well and healthy with no signs of any anxiety. It’s like we didn’t even leave. Our Yorkie is 14 years old with quite a few medical issues, that require special diet and medication, and if anybody ever had a Yorkie you know how difficult it is to get them to eat (super super picky) and take their medication. Jenna was amazing, she handled the feeding and medication with no problems at all. Every day we received a beautiful picture of our baby and we knew that he was in good hands. I totally recommend Jenna, specially if you have a doggie with special needs. We will certainly book her again in the future.
We had a fantastic experience with Deven! She was incredibly meticulous and caring, she making sure every detail of the routine was followed perfectly. What really stood out was her genuine nature, you can tell she has a soft heart and love for animals. She provided pictures and updates along the way, and it might be safe to say our dog looked disappointed when we got home! We would absolutely book her again, she is a true gem!
Taylor was a great dog sitter for my pups and you can tell she really cares for your fur babies. She was really good at reaching out to figure out why one of my pups was acting weird and made sure she figured out exactly what she needed to do to help calm her anxiety down. She really cares for your animals and sends pics of them consistently. She cared for my pups like they were her own. Would highly recommend. 10/10 pup sitter

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 Hickory Flat 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 Hickory Flat 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 Hickory Flat 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
