“She was really great with copper. Very responsive through text messages and also sent me updates. Was able to come prior to make sure she could access the building. Very nice and very good with copper. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”
“Leanne is the best. Makes me feel very secure leaving my precious baby with her. She leaves everything exactly like you left it…I can’t even tell she’s been here. You will never regret leaving your babies in her hands.”
“Lindsay was so great at communicating! She shared pics and updates everyday. I know our pups were in her very capable hands and were so glad they were well taken care of.”
“Lexi was amazing! Ozzy is very particular about who watches her but she gave Lexi no problems at all! She gave me updates and photos of Ozzy throughout the days which I very much appreciate as someone who doesn’t like to leave their dog behind and misses her very much. Lexi was also able to work with me last minute as I had a previous sitter fall through very last minute. I would recommend Lexi to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“I enjoyed Tiera looking after Diamond , She followed the minor instructions in caring for my Princess, She’s a wonderful sitter I know Diamond was pleased with her as well ….. Thank you so Much 😍”

“Rachel was just what we were looking for—genuinely into our adorable pets. She was communicative and took great care of our animals. She kept us updated while we were out of town with notes and pictures. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“Emily house sat for me and kept me updated and informed about Honey. I rarely use a sitter so it is overall very nerve racking for me. Overall great experience! Would recommend Emily and use her again!”
About: I grew up with 3 cats, and a rescue dog since I was a baby, and my grandfather was a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals my whole life! I ran a bed and breakfast for 8 years with 10 cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens, and indoor finches. I cared for them all, especially when the owners were away. I have experience in senior cat care (one cat lived to be 24!) I have some experience in administering medication and pills. (Insulin shots, hiding pills in meals/treats, etc) During the weekdays, I am available to check in around lunch time, and again after I get off work (at 4:30) One the weekends, I do have more flexibility, so let’s chat and see what might work best for you and your pet! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me, a stranger, in their own home and recognize that some animals take longer to warm up than others. I would love to discuss beforehand how your pet reacts, and if a meet and greet with you present would be helpful and/or necessary! For the shy ones, I do my best to read their body language and give them space, until they feel more comfortable around me. For the ones that are excited right off the bat, love that!! I’ll make sure they get some outdoor time, quality time, lots of pets and a treat or two, if that’s allowed. :)
“Veronica was amazing! She was super communicative & our pups were well taken care of. We even had an HVAC issue while we were gone, and she was gracious & helpful as we worked to get it fixed. We returned home to happy, healthy dogs and a house that was cleaner than we left it.”
“Emily was amazing! She kept me very updated with how things were going and it was a priority of hers to make sure the dogs were comfortable and happy. So grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again!!”
About: Hi! I'm Elaina. Most of my pet experience has been caring for my dog Bo, a sweet, goofy German Shepherd I adopted in 2016. We were best buddies for 10 years before he passed, and I miss him every day! He truly changed my life. I've also watched my friends' dogs for years, including mini poodles, beagles, Australian shepherds, pit bulls, multiple dogs at once, watching in my home and theirs. I also temporarily foster for a rescue sometimes. I have experience giving oral medications and subcutaneous injections to my dog, and oral meds to some of the rescue dogs I’ve temp fostered. I have multiple dog beds, bowls, and a large crate I can use if your dogs like a crate! I have a mostly fenced yard (open at the front, but I have a back section that closes and is fully fenced). I love walking every day, and I work a hybrid schedule, working from home three days a week. I live about 10 minutes from my office, so I can check in over lunch when I'm in the office. I love hanging out with dogs and I'm looking forward to making some new puppy friends! I'm a pretty easygoing and patient person. I understand dogs are different, some need different things, some might have accidents and might need to adjust to a new place. I'm here to help and make them feel safe and cared for and loved. My home can be their vacation home while you are away! I work from home three days a week and I'm in the office two days a week. I live 10 mins from my office so can come home over lunch. Currently the in-office days rotate each week, but I’m always home on Fridays. I take a good walk every morning, and maybe another in the afternoon or evening if the weather is nice! At my house I have a mostly fenced in yard (open at the front near the driveway, and fenced around the sides and back, with a section in the back that closes and is fully fenced, so there's an area they can run around). I have three dog beds I'll put out around the house, dog bowls, and a large crate I can put out if they use a crate. They're welcome on the couch and bed. I'll treat them like they're family! I'll stick to whatever feeding schedule and care instructions you provide.

Hannah did fantastic dealing with the chaos of our 3 dog household. They all seemed super comfortable with her from the start and she sent lots of pictures of them cuddled up with her while we were gone. Her communication while we were out of town was great and she left our home spotless. We couldn’t recommend her enough and will absolutely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter!
Rachel was such a great sitter for our home and our pups! She was able to help us out on very short notice. Our pups were loved on so well, our home was left in even better shape than when she arrived, she was very communicative and shared lots of photos with throughout her time with our girls. Highly recommend her and we would definitely book with her again!
Krystol was just wonderful. She took such great care of Pippa - taking her to the park, getting pup cups, 900 rounds of fetch. I felt so comfortable knowing she was at my home while I was away. I also unexpectedly had a plumbing issue while I was away and she dealt with it no problem.
Leanne is great! She is very communicative and sends updates along with pictures. She went above and beyond to pick-up our mail and give meds to our dog. She worked with us as our booking was last minute. Thanks Leanne. We did not have to worry about our baby as our dad was in the hospital.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nashville is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $105 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 2,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nashville. 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 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.
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 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 , 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.
