“Emilie did a great job. Our pups were well taken care of and happy with her. She communicated well and quickly and I never felt like I couldn't get ahold of her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed their pets taken care of.”
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat, and often took neighborhood pet sitting jobs. I also worked with small animals on a local farm for several years, and currently live in a house with two dogs, who I help care for when their owners are away. Over the past six years or so, I’ve done pet and house sitting for various clients, and it’s been a fantastic experience! I look forward to meeting your pets and helping give you the time away you deserve! I work local to Chattanooga as a freelance editor and artist, so I’m able to work from anywhere! My schedule is flexible most days, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I have plenty of experience caring for big dogs, small dogs, and cats, and am counting down the days until I’m able to have one of my own. Sadly, I’m not in a position to bring any pets home to my current residence, but that means I have lots of extra attention I can give to your pets while you’re away! Your routines and specific-to-you needs regarding your home and pets are important, and my goal is to make sure those needs are provided for. Whether you’re gone for the night on business or spending a week on vacation, don’t hesitate to reach out! I prioritize open communication, and you will receive regular updates while you’re away. Excited to hear from you!
“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Abigail did a great job caring for all of my animals, my dog, 4 cats and my two horses. She was very attentive and caring with them. She stayed in touch and sent me pictures! My little dog Annie is very timid so she stayed at the house for me. I was so glad when she told me she was warming up and sleeping with her! I was gone for eight days and everyone was well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Abigail again!”
About: I bring the magic where ever I go, especially to visit the dogs and cats of Charleston. I love to take them on adventures to Hampton park, Magnolia Plantation, the island beaches, or around Colonial Lake. Some of my regulars include the 2 cutest Dachsunds downtown. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
“Nicole did amazing taking great care of my 2 dogs (1 with special needs)! She kept my updated with pictures and texts and the dogs were extremely well cared for. I will rebook with her again.”
About: Grew up with dogs. Worked in a daycare for 3 years. I have a certificate for canine nutrition and basic training. I understand each pet is different and would love to cater to their needs. I’m currently available most mornings until noon and typically after 5pm. Depending on circumstances I may become available any time. I am pretty flexible and can discuss needs based on the client. I am available to house sit at a clients home. If the client has a fenced area I can utilize that space. If there is not a fence I know many places to walk or run and play.
“Charish was incredibly professional and great with my two pups while we were away. The dogs were tired and the house showed no trace she was even there. I received plenty of updates and had no worries at all while they were in her care. I look forward to have her watch them in the future!”
“I highly recommend LaDonna and Chris.our dogs dont do well away from home being boarded.they were so happy when we got home because they were able to be in their own surroundings.plus Ladonna and chris loved them like their own.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!”
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“We needed to find the perfect person to watch our two four legged kids in our home for a long trip, and we absolutely met the one. Toni met our gregarious Newfoundland and our somewhat shy Bassett, and they all fell in love with each other. Toni stayed in our house (so the dogs were comfortable lol) and it couldn’t have worked out better…the pups were right at home, Toni was able to keep an eye on our place, and she left the house cleaner than when she got there. We are completely comfortable with Toni, so grateful for her communication (daily pics and videos !) and trust her with our fur babies and our home. Can’t say enough about how we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Toni had things handled at home. Strongly recommend Toni, we will be happily asking her to help us again for our next trip. Thank you Toni, and Walter sends his best howl to you ?❤️?”
“Bonnie came to visit before our trip so we could meet before we left. She sent a photo of the pets when she arrived and more photos each day we were gone. When we came home the house was as we left it and pets were happy. We never had to worry. We’ll definitely reach out to her first next time we need a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have always been someone friends, neighbors, and family can rely on to help care for their pets. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I aim to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8PM for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I also have weekend availability but I’ll have to discuss it with my future clients first. I also offer overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level. I enjoy building routines with pets and making sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I aim to be flexible, dependable, and communicative so both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and a safe, comforting environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending quality time with animals through play, walks, cuddles, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by owners to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable environment where pets feel cared for and safe.
“This was a first time experience. I am very particular about my Baby Dog. This was incredible! Denita went way beyond over the top. Just hope I can get her again for some trips next year! And my dog was not mad when we got home because we had been gone…so I know he was happy!?”
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at MTSU currently home for the summer, and I’m working part time at the moment. This means that I am available often! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I'm a dog Mom to two golden retrievers and I have experience with puppies as we've raised 2 litters so far! I can handle anything from puppies to geriatric dogs. I work from home so your pet will be given attention all day everyday! I am able to work around the animals schedule to fit their needs. We have a huge fenced in yard full of toys and ready for play time! They are given their own kennel, food and water bowls, blanket and daily treats! For home visits, I'll provide the owner updates along with pictures of their fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Howardville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 497 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Howardville. 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 Howardville 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 Howardville 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 Howardville 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.
