“I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies with Leah! She came to meet them before we left for our trip and were very welcoming with her. That’s a good sign in my book! We got daily pictures and videos which was my favorite! Will be requesting her to house/pet sit again in the future!!”
“Stella was wonderful! We received daily updates with pictures of our very happy pets and she left the house spotless! We were blessed to have her watch our three puppies, two of which are elderly, as she took excellent care of them. I would highly recommend Stella.”
About: I genuinely love caring for my friends’ and family’s pets. Animals have always brought me a lot of joy, and I take their comfort, routine, and well being seriously. I love spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while my loved ones are away. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention, care, and play they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Because my schedule is more open right now, I’m able to be very attentive, present, and engaged with your pets rather than rushing through their care. I’m very gentle, patient, and loving with pets, and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. I know every animal has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, so I take my time earning their trust and making sure they feel cared for. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or high energy, I approach them with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love.
“She is so amazing. She takes wonderful care of 2 dogs and cat. Lot pictures and communication. She is en left a pictures of each pet that looks hand done. She great artist.”
About: A lifetime of loving animals—messy paws, big personalities, and all! 🐾❤️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from tiny kittens and wild puppies to big dogs and senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve experienced it all—the zoomies, the accidents, the big messes, the little messes, and most importantly, all the love that comes with them! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Big or small, young or old, energetic or a total couch potato—I love them all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a chiropractor in Franklin: Monday: 8:30-5 Tuesday: 1-6:45 Wednesday: 8:30-1:30 Thursday: 9:30-6 Friday: 8:30-1:30 I am off on the weekends and major holidays. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m respectful of your home and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks,, and any house or pet-care preferences you have.

“Sarah was so kind to help us at last minute notice spend a Friday night with our Frankie! She came over the day before to meet him and get house instructions. Such a sweet girl, very professional and obvious animal lover! Frankie was happy to be in the comfort of his own home! Thank you for your help Sarah!”
“Janine was great taking care of Camden while we were away. She sent us updates every day with plenty of pictures and Camden had so much fun. We appreciate everything she did to make Camden’s time so much fun and we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dependable dog sitter or walker. She’s fantastic!”

“Austin did a great job caring for my sweet Axel. He communicated well and kept me updated regularly giving me peace of mind while I was away. Axel was even looking for him when I got home so that told me that Axel truly enjoyed his time with Austin. He is trustworthy and responsible.”
“Michael was wonderful with our dog, Bear, and we would absolutely recommend him\. He came over about a week before our trip to meet Bear and go over everything with us, which we really appreciated\. From the beginning, he was kind, respectful, trustworthy, and great with Bear\. Michael stayed at our home for three nights and was very good about sending us updates while we were away\. Unfortunately, Bear got sick and threw up one of the days, and Michael handled it so well\. He let us know right away, kept us updated, and cleaned everything up\. When we got home, the house was very clean and Bear was happy and well cared for\. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing both Bear and our home were in such good hands\. Michael is a genuinely nice, respectful guy, and we would definitely use him again\. Highly recommend\!”
“Damian did a great job taking care of my dog and house sitting while I was on an extended trip. My dog got along great with Damian. He took Finn for a walk at the park and in the neighborhood. While house sitting and providing dog care, Damian swept the floor, rain the dishwasher, and laundered the towels before leaving. He was trustworthy and respectful in my home. I recommend Damian highly.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I dog sat for neighbors, friends, and more. I have cared for a variety of ages and types of dogs. I also have some experience caring for cats as well! I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to make pet care work in any capacity. I am available weekdays or weekends whether it’s dog walking, in home care, or boarding! I will follow whatever preferences or boundaries you have! I do not have any pets currently in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that tends to stay pretty empty if the dog is more active.
“Elyssa was wonderful! I received daily pictures and updates as to how my animals were doing. And I appreciated both. It made my vacation much more relaxing, not to have to worry about my babies while I was gone. I would highly recommend Elyssa and I will be using her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs since the day I was born and love animals with my whole heart. I’ve worked with small, medium, and large dogs and have experience with both shy cats and cuddly cats. I love them all! I work about 25 hours a week at my day job but I’m usually home by about 2pm. I spend most of my time at home so I’d be able to spend lots of time with your pet! I’m very respectful of the home and love making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own house. I will keep your house tidy and clean and accommodate your unique pet care needs!
“Jericho was great! She sent updates and photos regularly. My sweet boy was happy and relaxed when I returned home and the house as left in good shape. Will book again!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Peytonsville is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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.

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 Peytonsville 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 Peytonsville 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 Peytonsville 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.
