“I can’t recommend Austin enough! He sent regular updates, communicated clearly, and was really tuned in to how Bear was feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Bear was in such thoughtful hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Susie is a fantastic find. Love getting the updates on our pets including pictures out and about on walks. Several times things have come up while we have been out of town and she’s communicated clearly and gone above and beyond. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Natalie did a wonderful job taking care of my three dogs. She catered to each pups personality and needs. She also took great care of my home! I felt safe leaving my family in her care!!”
“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Leah has done housesitting for our 50-pound, high-energy dog several times now, and we love having her every time! It's clear she cares about him from the photos and videos she sends, and he has gotten very comfortable with Leah as well, resulting in less stress when we get home! She also leaves our home in fantastic shape every time she stays as well. This trip, we had to ask her some followup questions after we returned as well, and she was responsive and helpful then as well. We definitely recommend Leah!”
“Asheley was amazing with our senior dog and cats. Our dog got sick a few days into our trip and she was great about sending updates and making sure she was ok (and cleaning up a huge mess!). I would definitely recommend using her.”
“Stella was great. Took care of my two boys in my home which made me feel so much better that they could be out and not alone for longer periods. Also plenty of updates and available when I needed to talk to her. I really appreciate it and could tell my pups were comfortable. Thank you Stella!!!”
About: Lived with cats my whole life and can help and adapt to whatever pet needs care. I’ve taken care of mostly cats and some dogs over the years. I work as a gig worker for Convention Production Rigging and I take jobs as they are given. Some of their jobs they give me may be last minute, but I will only take them if it doesn’t conflict with a booking. I have 2 cats at home and they live a very comfy life. We have an automatic litter box that I perform maintenance on when necessary, dry food always available and wet food at night. They have cat trees for climbing and plenty of soft seats and beds for resting.
About: Hi pet parents! I know it can be tough to travel or make plans when you have pets at home, but I’m here to help so you don’t have to worry! I love spending time with dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable caring for multi-pet homes. I also have experience with pets who need a little extra care, including special needs and medication routines. While you’re away, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease and stay connected. I’m easy to reach and always happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your furry family soon! Pet sitting is my primary career for 10+ years. I have a genuine love for cat, dogs, and many other animals like elephants and turtles! I love being able to be a pets second favorite human I’ll even take third place if I must. For the cat lovers, if I get a head butt, I will consider myself honored! I always keep pets within sight and make their safety a priority. If they prefer space, I check in on them regularly in a calm and comfortable way. I follow feeding schedules closely, ensure fresh water is always available, and help reduce stress while you’re away. For outdoor time, I quickly scan the area for safety, make sure gates are secure, and use any requested collars or harnesses. I’m also happy to put on booties or bring extra water for hot or cold weather when needed.
“Carol was patient and caring, sitting for our cat while we were away. Cats usually don't require much attention, especially ours. He feels more secure when someone is present rather than left alone, and his behavior shows this. Carol kindly and patiently adjusted to our wishes by spending time at our home to care for him. We very much appreciated her help while we were away.”
“Frankie was great! The dogs had fun, the house was in good shape, and Frankie did everything I asked, including sending frequent pictures. Would definitely book with them again!”
About: OUT OF STATE SITTING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. I've cared for domestic and farm animals of all kinds. Patience and kindness toward an unfamiliar animal give them time to adjust and feel safe, which ultimately brings them happiness while you're away. I'm semi-retired, so I have flexibility. My primary interest is in extended house-sitting, and pet sitting engagements, such as weekly or longer stays. I can stay for a month if needed. My home location is in Columbia, TN, but I'm also available to TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. Taking care of your home and animals are my priority. I care for each home and animal as I do with my own. Every animal has a routine and familiar places within your home. Keeping this rhythm keeps them happy, healthy and safe until you return.
About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

About: I love dogs and have had my own for nearly 10 years. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to taking care of dogs of all ages and energy levels. I'm experienced with administering all types of medications as well. Please feel free to reach out if you're looking for a reliable and flexible sitter! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility during the day to assist with whatever is needed, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. My priority will always be to keep the pet as comfortable as possible by sticking to their normal routines for meals, walks, play time, etc. I'm no stranger to that in my personal life with my own pet.
“Anita was AMAZING!!! Not only did she take excellent care of our stubborn furry baby, she kept watch over our home and we returned to a clean and happy house!! Peace of mind is what you’ll get by hiring her. We cannot recommend her enough. ???”

Austin was AWESOME! So thankful to have found him. He will be my go to sitter anytime I have to leave town. My pets were well taken care of, communication was great and my house was clean upon returning. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my four legged friends.
Simply wonderful. Courtney took great care of our Great Dane, Marty— even took care of things we forgot to tell her! She stayed at our house and it was such a comfort knowing she was there with our big guy. Would recommend Courtney to anyone needing her pet sitting services. Exceptional!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lanton on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,589 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanton. 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 Lanton 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 Lanton 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 Lanton 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
