“What a great experience! She took great care of my dogs and my house on last minute notice when another sitter backed out 2 days before my vacation. Will be my go to from now on without hesitation. She is fabulous!!!!”
“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking 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 is awesome! As soon as my dogs met her they loved her. She stayed in contact throughout stay and sent pictures! Will def rebook again if we ever leave town. Thank you again Jolie!”
“From the first time I messaged Tonya, things went very smoothly. Tonya took great care of my dogs while I was away and I'm sure they enjoyed the daily walks they took with her. She did a great job of keeping me updated while I was away and, as a result, I enjoyed my vacation and did not worry about my dogs or my house. I came home to a neat home that included two, happy and well-cared for dogs! If you're looking for a responsible person to care for your pets, I highly recommend Tonya!”
“Nicole is fantastic! She is very energetic, and can tell she loves dogs. She was great about communication before and during her stay with Otis. I would 100% recommend Nicole!”
About: Hi! My name is Ava and I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and all kinds of other animals for the better part of my life. I've always loved working with animals and have switched between all the different animal related career fields :) I'm hoping to do this full time so I can give as much care as possible to your babies! I have experience with all different types of temperaments and personalities, and guarantee to always give dedicated time to each and every one of your pets. I promise to always take care of them like I would my own, and they'll receive the best care possible! I would love to do animal care full time, so I typically have a very open schedule! I'm free most days and nights, so just message me when you're looking for and I'll most likely be able to make it work! When caring for your pets in your home, I always take great care in making sure I respect the rules given and the space, as well as your fur baby! If they'll let me, I always make sure your fur baby doesn't miss out on ANY love. I love taking pictures or videos to send to parents and will provide regular updates, if needed! I promise to keep my eyes on your four legged friends and a phone on me at all times as well. If there is an emergency or complication, I will message you ASAP.
“Shaela provided photos while she puppy sat my 10 week old to ease my mind while I was away. Beyond that, she showed up right on time and left Snowy in her crate with music left on until I got back home. Will definitely book again 😊”
About: I have been around animals since I was 3 years old and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special abilities, including those with epilepsy, mobility challenges, and hip issues. While I can absolutely care for cats, I am mildly allergic to them, so I unfortunately can't give them as much hands-on affection as I would like. However, I am experienced with feeding cats, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they are happy and well cared for. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets like family while you're away. I'll also make sure to send you plenty of photo updates so you can see how your furry baby is doing! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My classes are balanced with independent study, giving me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and overnight care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, extra exercise, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in a familiar environment, so I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and ensure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special abilities, including those with epilepsy and mobility or hip issues, so I'm comfortable providing extra patience and care when needed. I'll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care that I would my own. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murfreesboro
This is our second time booking with Ayla and she’s amazing! She watched our two pups while we were out of town and she took great care of them and sent daily photos and updates about how they were doing. She went above and beyond to love on them, and also took wonderful care of our home and even tidied up and took our trash out! She’s so sweet and we’ll continue to book with her!
Hannah has watched our critters a couple times now and she’s awesome!! She’s a great communicator, very easy to work with and I always come back to some happy critters after Hannah leaves! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable, caring pet sitter.
Cydney is my favorite rover I’ve used so far. She stayed at my house for four days and watched my two dogs. I came home to a clean home with two happy, well fed doggies. She was so sweet, responsive, and followed my long list of detailed instructions. I was stress free my entire trip. I havn’t felt like that with other rovers. I will definitely be using Cyd again and referring her to my mother as well.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Murfreesboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murfreesboro on Rover is $39.96 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 1,426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murfreesboro. 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 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 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% 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.
