“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!”
“Had such a great experience, this was our first time using rover, Natalie and Todd kept us updated with text and pictures, even went above and beyond looking after our bunnies. Will definitely use again.”
“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!!!”
“Susie was great and took really good care of our pets. Lots of walks and pictures helped us feel confident things were going well when we were away. Will definitely use her and Rover again. First time rover user here and happy with the experience.”
“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!”
“Ava is wonderful! She’s is spunky & reserved all rolled into one. She watched our cattle dog who is a lot of puppy (high energy & reactive) for a week and didn’t blink after meeting him. She stepped up to the challenge & met every expectation. She was fabulous+ on communication including pictures & videos of our baby blue. We could not rave about her enough! Thank you, Ava! 🩷”
About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I started learning about dog training when I was around 10 years old, checking out books and videos from the library because I was fascinated by how dogs communicate and respond to people. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
About: Ever since I was little, I loved looking after animals big or small. I was the neighborhood kid to call if there was a need for pet care. I started at 10 doing as little as picking up poo from yards to growing up and staying over if the owner was out of town! I have experience with dogs, cats and yes fish at almost every stage of life. I have a long list of clients who would recommend me to look after your furry friend!! I am a part time employee at the moment so I have flexibility in my hours! Depending on the service needed I can make it work along with my schedule. I will be a local college student starting up in August but will continue to have an open schedule! I have a dog of my own and she is one of my top priority’s! When I stay at a clients home I ensure their furry friends have plenty of play and outdoor time. Walks are a non negotiable with my dog so I am very good with taking clients dogs out multiple times a day! Cats have the same priority, I ensure they have play time if that is up their alley or just a couch buddy! Every animal is different so I adjust accordingly!!
“If I could give Debra 6 stars I would. Don't hesitate to book her. She was the best dog sitter I ever had. She even cleaned up my apartment and left the bed made. I was truly impressed with her service and shall be booking her again soon!”
“Ms. Carol saved the day and goes above and beyond! Our home is in the middle of a renovation, no wifi or tv. Carol was willing to forgoe her comfort to help us out. I will be forever grateful and Pé and Kal love her, too!”
“Rayana was great. She sent me tons of pics and kept me updated via text while she watched my kitties. She was comfortable with a hybrid schedule of overnight/drop-ins. I highly recommend her.”
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.
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated the entire time we were gone and did an amazing job with our dogs. We will absolutely be going through Sarah for future dog sitting!”
“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. ???”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. Family friends have asked me for help multiple times and I love Doing it. I have experience with administering medication and with pills for cats and dogs. I’d love to treat your fur babies like my own! I work a full time job in downtown Nashville so it would mostly be for afternoon or overnight care. I also Have availability open up during the day on certain days it just depends, my schedule is pretty flexible. Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced. As someone who loves fitness, I happily provide energetic walks or runs tailored to your dog’s needs.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,611 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lanton. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
