“I almost do not want to post a review for selfish reasons. Emma has watched our dogs twice and is fantastic! She is great with the dogs. She is our go to for house sitting!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have pet sit several times for neighbors and friends. I will cater my care towards your pet to ensure a happy and satisfied pet. Currently working full time but very flexible of a job. I have a dog myself and am super comfortable with all dogs and cats. I am happy to help with any of your pet needs! :) I have a crate if needed . Also I can provide you the space not to worry about your pet when they are away from home and will happily follow any additional instructions for a happy pet and happy owner!
“Jenni was so great with our puppers! We just recently moved to the area and we were nervous about leaving them with someone new as we have only ever left the dogs with our parents but she was great and our doggos were as happy as could be!”
“Allison did a great job sitting with our dog while we were on vacation. She asked questions and sent pictures to let us know our pup was ok. We will definitely use Allison 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!!!!”
“Kaylee did an amazing job! I get so anxious leaving my pups, but she made me feel so much better with regular updates and pictures. She showed up right on time, stayed for the full visit, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my dogs and making sure they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Adara is amazing! We typically have friends or family watch our furbabies so we stepped out of our comfort zone booking a pet sitter. Adara was great throughout the whole process! She is definitely our go to pet sitter now and were excited that we have someone local that we can trust. Our babies just love her and miss her already. Thank you for being awesome and accommodating, can't wait to book with you again!”
“Jodi was such a joy to connect with and she took phenomenal care of our sweet pup Goji while we were away! We’re lucky to have found her! We’re recommending her to all our friends & family!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!
“Taylor did an amazing job watching all our animals! I got a lot of updates and when we came back, our animals were happy and the house was immaculate! We will definitely be using him again to house sit for us!”
“Gracen did an excellent job pet sitting at our home. Our senior pup and 3 senior kitties adore her. Gracen communicates often and provides great feedback complete with photos. Thank you Gracen. Knowing our pet family is so well cared for allows us to take time away without worry. Appreciate you!”
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 have been house/pet sitting for my family for a number of years. This includes going on walks, feeding in the morning and night, bedtime routines, etc. I have started using Rover recently, and have had numerous gigs dropping in a couple times a day, going on walks, or even staying at the house through the duration of the trip. I do work a full time job so you can expect me to be gone about 8 hours during the day, but that doesn’t prevent me from providing care before and after work. I am currently able to provide dog walking or drop in visit services before and after I go to and get off from work! I am super excited to be able to do this I am pretty good at following instructions, so whatever your pet may need I can usually accommodate! Taking walks on their favorite path, playing with them in a fenced yard, crating them back up before I leave, cleaning up any messes, feeding them routinely, etc. Of course I will communicate regularly if you want me to as well, and will definitely ask questions if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Karns
MaShon is an excellent pet sitter. She took such good care of our dog and cat ❤️ She was very communicative and kept us updated with photos. When we left our dog wasn’t feeling well, but MaShon knew just what our dog needed to feel better:) The house was tidied up before we got home. When it comes to holistic care, she is a wealth of knowledge!! Will definitely use her services again!
Elle was truly a gift to our family! If I could give her 1000 stars I would! She treated our dog and piggies like her own and what a gift that is when you leave your babies. She sent many updates with photos that put my heart at ease! If you don’t book Elle, you will be sad! She is the best!!!
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!!!!
Jacey was an amazing sitter for my puppy Kieran! I had to go out of town last mine for a few days and while I was gone she sent me daily updates on how he was doing! The next time I need him watched I will 100 percent be booking with her first before anyone else!
Absolutely incredible pet sitter! She watched my two cats for 18 days and treated them like royalty. She learned their personalities instantly, sent me daily videos of their progress, and even slept in the same room so they never felt lonely. My shy cat opened up to her, my playful one was obsessed, and honestly… I think they’re a little disappointed I came back because they were living their best lives with her😆 If you want someone who brings pure heart, energy, and dedication, she’s the one. Five stars isn't enough🤩

The average cost of House Sitting in Karns is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 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 Karns 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 Karns 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 Karns 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Karns. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
