“DeAnna stayed overnight with my pup Rex. I loved seeing him chilling out on the patio. He was calm and content when I got home, so I know he had a great time. DeAnna is easy to communicate with and has lots of doggie experience. I can't wait to book her again to stay with Rex!”
About: 12+ years of professional pet and farm sitting experience. I offer tailored care to dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I specialize in caring for senior animals and pets with medical or complex care needs. I care for your animals like they are my own and offer compassionate, patient care that meets your pets full range of needs. My love for animals began at the age of 2 by bringing home a garter snake and over the years I've had dogs, cats, a horse, birds and other fuzzy critters that I've loved dearly. A meet and greet is required for first time clients to allow me to get to know your pets and their routine to ensure they receive the best care possible. 💛🐱🐕 I am a full-time pet and farm sitter. I work 7 days a week and holidays, when available. I'm often booked several weeks in advance. I care for your animals in your home where they are most comfortable. I am detail oriented and aim to leave your home clean and cared for just like your pets. I have plenty of references and I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about care, my background and my process.
“We love Emma, and so do our dogs! I always feel comfortable leaving my home in her hands, and she treats it with great care. She sends daily photos and updates on the pups which I love!”
About: I have experience caring for cats, including those with anxiety and overgrooming. I currently care for my own cat and focus on keeping a calm, consistent environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, and paying attention to behavior changes. I take time to build trust with each cat and always provide updates and photos. I also grew up with puppies. I have experienced walking, going potty, and playing! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I have a consistent schedule and am available Wednesday through Friday in the evenings and Saturdays during the day. I already care for my own cat daily, so feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with pets is something I’m used to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. In a client’s home, I follow your cat’s normal routine to keep things as stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat’s personality. I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I also monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Elizabeth is SO sweet and took great care of my sweet fur baby! He was so happy and so loved on while I was away. My buddy has separation anxiety and knowing that sweet Elizabeth was loving on him while I was away made me feel a million times better!! We’ve already booked her again and Spade can’t wait for more snuggles!”
About: I have a 2 year old Labrador retriever and German shepherd , we love all pets. I am very flexible with hours and very patient, here for all pet needs. The Weekends work best for me, but can be more flexible if need! Excited to meet you and yours pets! Barli would love to meet them too! I’m currently only offering pet walking services, but if in a pitch I can also feed and play with your pets or be available to any other service.
“Kai is amazing. He was attentive and caring with our babies. He gave them lots of love & snuggles. We will def be using him for our travel out of town. 100% recommend Kai! He sent us lots of pictures and daily multiple updates.”
About: We're Kelly and David, a Nashville couple who grew up around dogs and have been caring for them our whole lives. We love to travel, and house sitting has become a fun way to get a little of that same variety right here in our own city — a new neighborhood, a new routine, a new dog to hang out with. We'll keep your pets on their normal schedule, stick to the instructions you leave rather than improvising, and handle the small stuff while you're gone: mail in, plants watered, trash out on the right day. You'll get photos and a quick check-in each day so you actually know how things are going, and you'll come home to a house that's been looked after. We work for ourselves managing rental properties around Nashville, so our schedule is flexible and we're not tied to an office all day. That means when we're staying at your place, your pets aren't alone for long stretches — one of us is usually around, and we plan our days around their walks, meals, and medication times rather than squeezing them in. We take house sitting jobs one at a time so we're not running between houses, and we treat your home as our home base for the stay, not a place we stop by. We only offer house sitting, so everything happens in your home on your pets' normal terms. Before the stay we do a meet-and-greet to walk through feeding amounts and times, where everything lives, walk routes, any medications, and how your pets do with strangers, other dogs, and time on their own. During the stay we keep that schedule as close to exactly as you left it as we can — same food, same walk times, same spot on the couch if that's allowed. We give your pets our full attention and stay in touch with photos and a short daily update, and we check with you first on anything you haven't already covered. We also keep up the house while we're there — mail and packages in, plants watered, trash and recycling out, thermostat where you like it — and we clean up and wash the linens before we go, so the place looks the way it did when you left.
“I can not recommend Kori enough! She house-sat for our (very rambunctious) english bulldog puppy and was very attentive to both our puppy and our house! You can tell she is naturally wonderful with dogs, but she expands upon that with a level of concern and care for them that actually allowed me to my enjoy my trip and minimized my mom-guilt :) I plan to use Kori for all future trips and would recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful companion for their pet!”
“I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs a pet sitter. I had no worries about my babies well being while under his care. He kept me updated on how they were doing and even included pictures of Pedy and Gianni. Our dog Pedy is 11 and has diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. It was such a relief that Brendan was experienced at injections. I want to thank Brendan for agreeing to watch our babies on such short notice after the other sitter we booked cancelled. I really hope Brendan is available next year when we go away to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.
About: Will love and care for your animal as it was my own. Years of pet care experience combined with my own personal experience with pets. High level of attention to details. Will do any and everything to make sure your pet is getting the best experience away from you. I am open and flexible to all times and hours for pet care. There is not a time too early or too late where I can be available. I care with pets with the upmost respect and care. There is not a request or requirement or too specific to ensure the animal is as comfortable as it can be.
About: Hey there! We are Kelbie & Seth! We have been pet sitting for over 9 years. While I am finishing my masters program I will be home for full time pet sitting availability! We have 4 highly trained pets of our own who love to make friends. As a former kennel attendant I was trained in safe techniques to get your furbaby to eat if they aren't interested, proper leashing, basic first aid, and how to administer all forms of medication for both cats & dogs. Our 2 friendly border collies love to tagalong to house sittings when allowed, this also allows both Seth & I to come stay. Having such smart dogs, we are also skilled in some dog & trick training. We have taught our boys all that they know & Dexter has received his Novice Trick Title. We also have 2 cats who are very dog friendly so just let us know if your dog gets along with cats. I will be working from home on our businesses as I finish up my master's so when I'm not crafting, you'll catch us cuddled up on the couch or outside playing! Unfortunately our rental got sold in Murfreesboro so we are now living back with family in White House & will primarily be availbile for house sitting, drop ins, and walking for Sumner & Robertson County! We try our best to stick to your fur babies normal routine! Rather they need medicine, an extra walk, have high energy, or are a senior, you can ensure they will be in loving care with us! We are also insured professionals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lyles
Overall, I was pleased with the care of my home. The care of the pups was lackluster. I found poop and pee in the cage, on the rug by the garage and through the yard. Water bowls were empty in the bedroom, outside and cage. Based on the photos from the garage and the doorbell, frequency of care visits were not as requested (about 4-5 hours apart). These are senior pups and one with issues with her hind legs which also impacts her ability to squat. Overall, as I said, I was happy to leave and know someone was looking after them. I just wish my expectations and the care were more aligned.

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 Lyles 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 Lyles 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 Lyles 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
