About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. Growing up, I was surrounded by a wide variety of pets, including dogs, snakes and other animals, which gave me experience with different personalities, care routines, and needs. I currently own a large dog and serval reptiles. I have previously owned small dogs as well, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I am currently a full time student at Middle Tennessee Stste University. This allows me the flexibility to do multiple check ups throughout the day, walk pets as needed, and do house stays so your pet can have the best experience possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any special care requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.
About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’ve been an avid pet lover since I was a little girl and I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I know how special our pets are to us and I can’t wait to make your furry friend (s) feel special too! I have experience not only with pet sitting but as a volunteer at my local animal shelter too and have worked with all age ranges including seniors. I am currently a college student attending MTSU. I do not have a part time job however and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. My goal with every client is to make your pet feel safe and secure. I am more than happy to provide any service needed to accommodate your pets’ needs. I can feed, walk, and give medications any time. My goal is to minimize any stress and maintain routines.
“Ryland was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she great with my pets, she took very good care of my home. She is a most wonderful person and would trust her with taking care of my furr babies anytime.”
“Shaela was great! She was able to spend the night with my new puppy and definitely made me feel better knowing someone was with him. She’s prompt and a great communicator. Would definitely use her again!”
“Lisa was very responsive when I contacted her during my time away. She was kind enough to feed my fish, get the mail, and water the flowers in my absence. The dogs seemed calm and rested upon my return. I will definitely request Lisa to look after Lukas and Matteo in the future”
“Jolie was amazing. She has excellent communication skills and made sure our dogs were safe and cared for. I definitely recommend her and hope she is available to watch our dogs in the future.”
About: Loving Care for Your Dog, Peace of Mind for You! 🐾 I've loved dogs of all ages my entire life and have had the joy of caring for many of my own, as well as dogs belonging to family, friends, and acquaintances. I believe dogs are happiest when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and maintain the routines they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I'm attentive to the little details that matter! I carefully follow your instructions, whether that means maintaining specific feeding schedules, respecting dietary restrictions, giving supplements as directed, or simply making sure fresh water and clean bowls are always available. As a former dog owner, I understand that our pets are family. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for them with the same love, patience, and attention you would. From companionship and playtime to feeding and maintaining familiar routines, I'll treat your dog with the care and respect they deserve. Enjoy your time away knowing your beloved companion is in caring, dependable hands! I have the ability to arrange much of my workday around my commitments. This allows me to accommodate daytime drop-in visits as well as overnight stays when my schedule permits. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I make it a priority to coordinate visits around their established feeding, potty, and exercise routines. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can give your dog the attention they deserve before accepting a booking. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! I believe pets feel most secure in their own familiar surroundings, and I work hard to maintain the routines and environment they're accustomed to. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, supplements, dietary restrictions, walks, and any special needs. I'm attentive to details such as securely closing doors and gates, keeping fresh water available, and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe. I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted inside someone's home. I'll respect your privacy, care for your property, and leave your home clean and orderly. I also welcome detailed instructions and am happy to provide photos and updates throughout your time away, so you can feel confident that both your beloved dog and your home are in caring, responsible hands.
About: I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week including all holidays. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as I would a member of my own family. I can provide additional services if needed such as: Vet Office visits, pickup food & supplies, bathing and some light grooming if needed. If you feel your special friend needs a day of pampering but you just don't have the time to take them I can also provide delivery to some of the local spas. If you ever feel like your best friend is not getting the attention or care that they deserve due to your busy lifestyle I assure you I can assist you with this. I may even be able to provide tips of how you can spend more time with them depending on the situation. I want you to never feel like you have no options or choices when it comes to spending time with your dog('s). In the very near future I will be providing 24 hour surveillance and location (GPS) services to all of my clients for a small additional fee to cover equipment costs.
“Mary was great. She came by our house prior to watching our 2 dogs to meet and see the dogs and house. She was on time and professional. She stayed overnight at our house and watched the pups for 4 days. She sent us pictures of the dogs each day we were gone and when we came home she had a nice note on the counter and left homemade dog treats in the fridge. I will for sure be using Mary again.”
About: I’ve participated in taking care of animals since I was 5, and took on full responsibility since 11-12. My home has always been full of animals (mostly consisting of cats and dogs) and at most had 11! Usually it’s a pretty 50/50 split between the two. We’ve always rescued animals so they come to me in any shape or form, many kittens / puppies and many seniors! I would love to come by and see your fur babies! Sunrise to sunset, my schedule is very open to coming by and saying hello to any fur baby! I currently can’t work, so what better way to spend my time! Anything the client requests! I’m unable to host any animal visits, but I’m very open to traveling. The care will consist of any basic activities I’m needed to do, feeding, cleaning up any accidents in the home, managing the animals crate, playing with them and getting their energy out for a nice sleep afterwards, and anything else needed!
“Crystal was wonderful with my 2 pups. My puppy had injured herself a few days prior and had new special instructions and Crystal did wonderful keeping me posted on her care, keeping up with her medications and just overall making sure she was living her best life while recovering. It was a stress free trip knowing my pups were in great care.”
About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.
“Madeline recently did some pop in visits with my dog Dutch who had to be given some medicine every couple hours. Madeline was great! She gave me updates every visit with pictures and seemed to really enjoy her time with Dutch. Great communicator and positive attitude. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: All my life I’ve loved and cared for all different kinds of animals ranging from furry to scaly.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve cared for family pets (including our 100-pound “pup” and cross-eyed kitty!) as well as the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving each dog the attention and affection they deserve. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and accommodate a variety of schedules and needs. I’m able to provide consistent care for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murfreesboro
Hannah did an amazing job watching my sweet puppy and kitty! She gave amazing updates throughout the week on how our fur babies were doing. She also took such good care of our home and was very respectful and clean with our space. We will absolutely be using her in the future!
We absolutely adore Hanna, she took such good care of our 9wk old puppy while we were away. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our Maye with her and I wasn’t worried once knowing that Hanna had her! She truly is one of a kind!! She kept us updated with notes and pictures and followed the puppies “schedule” so well! Would recommend her to anyone!
Chandler was wonderful with our pup! She stayed overnight at our home for several days and did an excellent job. Our home was spotless when we returned and our dog was very happy. Chandler is responsible, professional, and kind and we highly recommend her services!
Taylor took such great care of our dog and cat, Mabel and Margot! She sent us daily updates with lots of pictures which is always appreciated. She was extremely thorough in making sure our babies were comfortable and happy. Taylor even went above and beyond and washed linens, ran the dishwasher, and made sure the house was tidy before she left!

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 Murfreesboro 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 Murfreesboro 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 Murfreesboro 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.
