“Ayla was great! We knew instantly that she was the best fit for our special needs dog. She came over to introduce herself and get acquainted before our pet sitting dates and seemed to understand dog psychology and how interact to our highly anxious, deaf pit bull. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Megan was awesome! Our dog got sick a few days before the holiday and we were stressed with having to cancel our original plans.

We will be using Megan again in the future.”

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 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.
About: I have been around pets all of my life, dogs and cats alike. I have also had my own pets that I’ve taken care of. I have 3 years of experience privately sitting for friends and acquaintances. I strive to follow the pets routine and respect all boundaries your pat may have. I am available after before 8 am and after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends I am available all day. I do not board in my own home as. I have cats who like their space. When I am taking care of pets I always make sure they have a clean environment including food and water bowls. I speak softly and kindly to pet and show them the attention they need or give them space when they need it due to nerves.
“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.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Murfreesboro is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,377 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 , 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.
