About: Hi! Iâm a dog mom who takes pet care seriously and understands that every pet has unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, enrichment, supplements, medications, special feeding routines, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. Iâm especially knowledgeable about caring for small dogs and pets with mobility concerns. Through caring for my own dog, Iâve learned the importance of preventative care, safe exercise, elevated feeding setups when appropriate, joint health support, and following veterinarian recommendations closely. Iâm comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether that means preparing bone broth toppers, adding supplements, maintaining medication schedules, monitoring food intake, or sticking to a specific routine. I know that small details matter when it comes to keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so Iâll keep you updated with photos and notes while youâre away. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention, and peace of mind that Iâd want for my own dog. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a little extra support, or somewhere in between, theyâll be treated like family. Iâm currently searching for full-time work opportunities, so I and have daily availability to spend great outdoors time with your pup at any time of day. Safety comes first in everything I do. I carefully follow feeding routines, medication schedules, supplement instructions, exercise restrictions, and any veterinarian recommendations provided by owners. Iâm especially attentive to pets with mobility concerns, senior pets, or pets with special routines. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, hydration, and overall well-being and will communicate regularly so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while youâre away.

âMy dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!â

âAustin was great with Mara! He sent detailed updates and great photos. She also had an ear infection and he was on top of giving her meds as well. Will definitely use him again.â

About: I have dog sat many times for friends and family over the years. The most in depth experience iâve had is my parents 11 year old rescue with a few health issues that i helped take care of the last year before moving to Nashville. I am a musician so my schedule is very flexible and i can plan my days around pet care since i usually work at night. i live on a farm, so if you need me to watch your pets at my house they will have a lot of outdoor safe space and a nice spot in my cozy home.
âMadelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.â

âElyssa was a wonderful sitter. We have two cats and I admit, I leave a lot of notes. She came for a walkthrough and I could tell our boys liked her. She was great communicating updates and sent us photos even though it was a short visit. I would love for her to be our go to sitterâ

âEric took such great care of my two dogs for the week I was out of town. He was so kind and understanding when my flight got cancelled and stayed with them. I highly recommend him. I donât leave my dogs with just anyone and he was incredible with them.â

âAs hard as it was for us to even consider leaving our fur babies with someone other than family, Lindsey has changed our view! She took great care of both our pups and our house (which was spotless for our return and we truly appreciated). Lindsey sent daily updates and provided us pics of our girls. Both times Lindsey has sat for us she did an excellent job of shoveling the snowfall in both the back and front yards. We will definitely use Lindsey in the future.â

âOur pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.â

About: I am a clinical social worker for children and young adults! My love for animals came from being raised in an animal loving home. I worked in a private vet right after college and have not only prior knowledge from my own family animals but hands on experience in the fields. About 5 years ago I adopted my cat Athena. Im the type of care giver who will make sure not only are your fur babies are loved and safe but that their owners have the sense of security that their babies are in good hands with frequent updates. I have been working with Rover since I was 18 years old! This was my job as a student that I very much loved! Now that itâs been 10 years in the business this job is a passion of mine that fulfills a purpose and only bring me more joy and happiness. I have a job that is flexible with my hours and allows me to work for my clients for hours that are needed. I book clients that I know I will be able to provide exact care they are expecting and asking for. Animals are like children, you always have to be vigilant. Every animal is different, needing specific care that is geared to them. I make sure my clients get attention, love and care.
âNicole is awesome! She was incredibly attentive to my dogs during her stay, and sent daily updates and pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs got plenty of attention, walks etc, and also made me feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care for an extended period of time. I would absolutely use Nicole for future house /dog sitting, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and taking care of them. Thank you so much!!â

About: I have 20+ years experience caring for my own dogs, pet sitting, and fostering for dog rescues, including experience with senior dogs, puppies, and medical cases. I work from home so I can provide your pet with plenty of love and attention and have very flexible scheduling for services within my home or within your home. For services within my home: I have a large, adult, fixed male dog who is great with other dogs and is very calm. I have two acres of unfenced property with beautiful mature trees and surrounded by farmland. My dog and I frequently sit on the back patio and enjoy the sounds of nature. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can take them on our regular walk to the nearby park (about 1.5miles total, 1-3x per day) or shorter walks around the property. For services in your home: I understand the importance of your dog's routine and I have the flexibility to offer services so that they won't skip a beat when you're out of town.
âI absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!â

âSydney was so accommodating when I needed a last minute sitter. She provided updates and was super sweet to my little guy. Look forward to using her again in the future :)â

âAlexis was great with the dogs and the house! She sent plenty of pictures, played with the dogs and kept me updated every step of the way. Will definitely use her again!â

âDawn was amazing! She was super communicative before, during, and after. She supplied us with photos of our sweet babies and always made sure we knew things were good. Would definitely have her sit in the future.â

âPaula was fantastic and our fur babies loved her!! They received lots of exercise and porch time. Her communication was excellent and she provided lots of pics during our time away. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming pet/house sitting needs.â


âTaylor was great! Kept us updated with them each day. House looked great when we came back and made the process easiest for us. Would definitely have her come back to watch the pups again!â

Alesha took very good care of our pups and our house while we were out of town for the holidays. She even made sure to run the dishwasher and put the guest bed sheets in the wash for us, which we appreciated! She also regularly provided updates and videos, and took the boys out on daily walks. They seemed to love her! There was a misunderstanding around what time to show up on the first morning (second day), leaving our boys home alone longer than they should have been, but all was good after that. This did cause a bit of a stressful scramble for us trying to find someone else to possibly fill in during that time which we were unable to do. Only reason for the 4 star. I know time gets lost around the holidays, and I would still recommend Alesha and will use her in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Joelton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Joelton on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,493 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joelton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Joelton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Joelton 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Joelton 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.
