“Leanne was great. She and our pup immediately felt comfortable with each other. She took care of him for several hours and when we got back our pup was relaxed. Leanne is very easy to talk to and was perfectly on time for our appointment. She was exactly what we needed for our night out.”
“Dannie did a wonderful job caring for my two large dogs and they returned home happy and well-cared for. I had an unexpected health emergency during the booking that severely impacted my sleep and ability to communicate normally, and I so appreciate Dannie’s patience and professionalism while dropping them off. They followed instructions perfectly, and I highly recommend them for their reliability and great care!”
“Teresa was incredible! She sent wonderful photos throughout her stay and was so flexible and good at communication! Would recommend her for any service.”
“Melissa was incredible with my babies! I know we were only gone for a couple of days, but by the first night, Cleo had warmed up to her and even cuddled on her lap. Rocket got lots of snuggles and walks. And Max got just the right amount of attention. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she asked questions if she was unsure about something (a huge must in my book). She even left a stocking of goodies for Max and Cleo from her own babies. We will definitely hire her again...”
“Zubin was so sweet and accommodating to a very last minute request! She took great care of my baby boy and I’m so grateful for her patience to sit with him and care for him while I was away! Would highly recommend and book again in the future 🥰”
“Elyssa is absolutely a fantastic sitter. She watched our golden retriever for the weekend while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving him post moving which always makes me nervous. Elyssa, though, was fantastic. At first contact, she set up a meet and greet to come meet us and Triton to make sure we were a good fit (which I appreciated a ton). It always makes me feel better meeting the person who will be taking care of my fur baby. She is great at communication and responds quickly with any updates. Triton got so much love and pets while we were gone and we were able to not worry of him while being gone. I’m really grateful for how well he was taken care of and the peace of mind we had leaving him in Elyssa’s hands!”
“Lindsey has been extremely accommodating with my crazy schedule. She is a kind, amicable pet sitter who I recommend. She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats effortlessly, and I promise they are quirky and come with a list of duties. She left the house spotless, and even moved in furniture boxes!! Have already rebooked.”
“So grateful for the time she took to care for my boy. She kept me updated with photos and let me know how their afternoon was going. I am so grateful and appreciative for her caring for my pup!”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”
“Aubrey was fantastic! We have never left our pets with anyone but family or friends, and we have a picky cattle dog and a free roam cat. She was great with both, and set us instantly at ease. She was very accommodating, communicative, and so at ease with our pets. She was so easy to work with, and we cannot recommend her enough.”
“Christian was wonderful. He sent pictures everyday and updates on how the dogs were doing, even through the intense storms we had. I would definitely recommend him for housesitting.”
“Kelly took great care of our cat and dog while we were out of town! She sent consistent updates and we never once worried about them while we were gone! Could not recommend her more!”
“We were on vacation in Nashville needing a sitter and not knowing anyone in the area made it difficult until I found the Rover App. I was able to do a video chat with Stephanie, which made me feel comfortable with hiring her. She is very pleasant and easy to deal with and to talk with. If we are ever in Nashville again, I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”
“Jabe is PHENOMENAL! Jabe handled 3 dogs while at his stay in my home. With one being 16 years old requiring a lot of attention and care. Jabe was able to go be attentive to all 3 of them. Jabe had to juggle several medications that were time sensitive, all while playing fetch with a 2 and 5 year old. He was very attentive and compassionate with my old girl. Jabe followed every intricate detail of direction that was needed. Jabe gave me the peace of mind I needed to be able to focus on work while away on a business trip. Communication is key for me and he was exceptional with details and pics too. I highly recommend Jabe! He is highly qualified and very committed to caring for you family while you’re away.”
“sydney is an absolute dream come true!!! she kept me up to date with my boys while i was gone, walked them, and even kept my house is great condition. the definition of stress free! will definitely use again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
I give Dannie my highest recommendation! This is not only based on how well he communicated, frequency of pictures, and his quick responses, but also on how quickly our boy Lucky settled in with him as a sitter. It was clear from the photos that Lucky trusted him quickly and felt comfortable while we were away for almost two weeks! Dannie will be the first person we reach out to the next time we need a sitter.
Krystol did such a great job! We needed a last minute sitter for our two dogs for our wedding weekend and she stepped in and watched our dogs and house. She is a great communicator and send lots of photos which were such a treat while we are out of town for our wedding missing our dogs.
Melissa took great care of pups cuddling and loving on them. Our pups have medicine and are picky eaters so feeding can be a chore. Melissa took care of all of that and more. Dixie is shy and has high anxiety and Melissa C. Won her heart immediately. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures of the pups! We have booked Melissa C. already for our next trip. We can rest assured knowing our pups are taken care of. Thank you!
I can’t say enough good things about Erica. She is considerate, respectful, caring, and truly loves our animals. She always gets the best and funniest pics of them to share while we’re away - which is always a treat when traveling and worrying about/missing fur babies. We are SO thankful for her. 100000/10 will always recommend 💕
Paige was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She was incredibly responsive throughout our stay and sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond taking such great care of both our dogs and our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely rebook with Paige!
Overall, we had a good experience and felt like our dogs were well cared for. The only thing I wish we had received was a little more communication throughout their stay. We would have loved more frequent updates and photos just to know how they were doing and have that extra peace of mind while we were away. Otherwise, we appreciated her taking care of them and willing to work with one of our anxious pup.
We had a great experience! He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We have three animals who each require separate care and have different needs, and he handled everything wonderfully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and would absolutely use him again!

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 Nashville 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 Nashville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Nashville 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

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.
