“Samantha, did a fantastic job of looking after our 10 month old Ragdoll kitten, and our home. She played with our kitten everyday and sent pictures and video of his exploits. He seemed very content while we were away. We will definitely book Samantha again.”
About: My family always had a dog while I was growing up. I love dogs, but I am not able to have a dog right now due to renting. That’s why when I go visit my friends and family, secretly I’m going so I can visit their dogs. I think they have caught on to this though. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and watch their dogs. Don’t be surprised if your dog ends up loving me more than you. 🙂 I work from home and am able to take breaks whenever I need to. Walking your dog benefits me as well because I need the breaks to get some movement. For home visits, I am able to feed and let your dog out to run around if needed, whether that be outside or just out of the crate for a while. I am very willing (and will very likely) give your dog some social interaction by playing fetch, tug-o-war, or with any other toys they might have.
“Sarah was amazing!! I cannot recommend her enough!! Our dog loved her and she kept us informed the whole time we were away. We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future!”
“Kim was very good with communicating and being very detail oriented with Bob’s routine. Bob enjoyed his weekend and so did I knowing that he was well taken care of! I will definitely book with Kim again!”
“Jonathan did an excellent job with our dogs. Duke can be a little standoff-ish with new people and Jonathan handled it perfectly. We will definitely use him again.”
“Alexa did an awesome job taking care of our pets while we were out of town. She came over ahead of time to make sure she was a good fit as a sitter and to get all of the care instructions. She communicated excellently morning and evening and sent pics too. 10 out of 10. Will definitely ask her to care for them again. Thank you Alexa!”
“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
“She was wonderful, trustworthy, on time. If I ever need anyone she will be the first one that I would call, anybody that does have an animal needs to try her because she's such a wonderful person love animals, good with animals. My dog Kiah is funny about people because it's just me and her, but there's something about Dannielle that my dog acted like she knew her for all of Kiah's life. She will b the only person I will ever get to watch Kiah.”
“Teresa stayed with our baby 3 nights and everything was wonderful! She is very responsive, caring and reliable. A great trip when you have a sitter you can trust and relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands 💕”
“Penny kept our 15-week-old lab puppy and cat at our house for four days while we were out of town. Our pup is definitely in the puppy phase and is a real challenge to keep out of trouble. Penny did a great job in maintaining the consistency of his schedule and continued his training while we were away. I'm sure this was over the top from the normal sitting arrangements. She keeps a daily diary of what she and our pets did so she does an outstanding job of communicating. This was our first experience with having someone stay in our home and it worked out great. Penny is reliable, great with our animals and a great house guest. We will definitely rebook when the need arises and would highly recommend her to watch your pets.”
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals and caring for them is more than just a job—it’s what I love. I live on a farm and have worked on multiple farms over the years, gaining hands-on experience with just about every kind of animal you can imagine. From dogs and cats to horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats, and ducks, I’ve cared for them all. With 9 years of hands-on experience in pet care, plus years of fostering dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every animal like family and always focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a full time student at UTK getting my bachelors degree in Agricultural Business. Most of my classes are online so I only go to campus two days a week. I work part time as a bartender. I work on the weekends, however my schedule is flexible. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and follow any special instructions you provide. Living and working on farms has taught me to stay alert, calm, and prepared in all situations. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, high-energy dogs, seniors, and animals that may need a little extra patience or care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never take risks with their well-being.
“Stephanie done a terrific job with all 4 of my babies. They all have a few quirks but she just jumped in and had all 4 attached to her hip. So happy I was able to find such a caring person to watch them while I was away. Highly recommend !”
About: I’m a vet tech that graduated from college last year. I work at a vet clinic full time and I know CPR. I know what to do in very needed times. I can take care of them before work, on my lunch break if needed, and after work. If they are well trained and small dogs, I can take them with me to work as well. I do need to know at least a week or two in advance as to plan. I also have other clients that schedule far out with me. I do not watch animals at my apartment. If I do, I have to pay the animal fee of $350. I do enjoy and like to watch animals at their house. I make sure they can’t get into anything while I’m gone and I also make sure the house is locked when I leave so no one else enters while I’m gone.
“Cheryl was amazing! She spoiled our 100 lb German shepherd and gave us lots of updates. We returned home to a super clean home and everything taken care of. Can’t wait to book Cheryl again, I think our dog had a better vacation than we did lol!”
“Kristen kept our pup and bunny while we were out of town. She did fantastic! Our animals were so excited to see us and had happy little faces and were so relaxed. Kristen also kept our home the same way we left it, clean. We most definitely will have her back to care for our pets when we have to go away again! Thank you!!”
About: As a nursing student, I'm highly attentive, responsible and comfortable following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs medication, a strict routine, or just of attention and playtime, I'll make sure they are well cared for while you're away! I am currently a nursing student at LMU. As a nursing student, I keep a structured schedule and am very organized with my time. Spending time with animals is also a great way for me to unwind and recharge outside of school, so I am more than happy to help you while you're away! I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am very detail oriented so I prioritize carefully follow feeding, walking, medication and care instructions provided by the owner. And if anything is ever unclear, I always communicate that to the owner! I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise (I love my daily walks!), playtime and affection, while also keeping their environment clean and safe.

Hayley sat for us over a three-day weekend, and was incredibly kind both with us and our pets! Our dogs loved her, and she even won over our shyest kitty. ❤️ She was also responsive to communication, and flexible for a last minute change. She left the house in perfect condition too! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Lenoir City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lenoir City on Rover is $51.36 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 677 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lenoir City. 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 Lenoir City 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 Lenoir City 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 Lenoir City 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.
