About: Worked at a vet clinic for 2 yrs! Loved being around animals all day! Never a time where I didn’t have a pet! Love them! Just moved to TN, currently no job so my schedule is completely open! I am very flexible and easy going. Your pet is my priority! I love going on walks and will take your pet for a good walk to get exercise and enjoy being outside! Open to accompany any needs!
“Tanya was incredible. She was in charge of Rue while me and my now wife were getting married. Rue is so important to us that we wanted her to be a part of our wedding as ring bearer. Rue was not allowed to be by herself at the venue and we had another Rover fall through a week before the wedding. Tanya came through for us in a clutch. Rue can be a little anxious around large groups of people, but Tanya made her feel safe and comfortable. Rue was excited to run back to Tanya after she brought us our rings. Tanya went above and beyond with her role. We didn’t have anything special for rue to wear, but Tanya stopped before the wedding and got rue the cutest white flower to wear without us even asking. It made me cry when I saw her running down the aisle to us. Tanya was attentive, punctual, and warm. We literally couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our sweet baby and be active in her role at our wedding. Will book again 1000%”
“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”
“LOVED having Kathryn stay with our precious pup!!! We are new to the area and haven't gone on a trip or even been away from our dog in over 2 yrs. After reading all the raving reviews about Kathryn and noticing her flexible schedule, we knew she'd be a perfect fit! She gave our dog tons of attention and took great care of her. She had such a blast with Kathryn. We look forward to using her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing. I truly can’t say enough good things about her! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. It was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making sure Reese was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. While we were away, Amber went above and beyond by sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing Reese so relaxed and clearly living her best life gave us complete peace of mind. On top of that, Amber added thoughtful touches that really stood out. She even offered to water our plants, and we came home to a clean house and fresh flowers. That level of care and attention is rare and so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Amber again. She exceeded every expectation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

At the moment I'm not accepting pets at my place. However, I would be glad to make the visit to your homes to watch or walk your pet!
“Michelle has watched our pets twice now, and we’ve been so happy with her both times! She’s very caring, attentive, and great about keeping us updated with pictures and messages. She always asks questions if she’s unsure about something and goes out of her way to make sure the pets are comfortable and happy. She’s very responsive and flexible. She was willing to stay an extra day when our flight was cancelled last minute, which was a huge relief. She’s also respectful of our home and always cleans up after herself. We feel really comfortable having Michelle watch our pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Kirstie did an excellent job taking care of our two male cats while we were away last week. During the meet and greet she took careful notes, asked questions to clarify certain points, and provided honest feedback. She came across as mature and trustworthy and proved that she was. During our time away, she provided daily updates and photos and let us know when one of our cats was gone longer than she thought he would be. All turned out well. I would definitely use Kirstie again!”
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.
“First time leaving my dog alone but Leilani made me not worry about it and focus on my work instead. She sends pictures and feedback about the pet(s) and cares for them as her own, you can tell.”
About: I have had cats as pets for my entire life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family throughout my childhood. As a wildlife biologist, I have love for all animals and understand what is most important for the health and safety of your pet. I am currently taking classes remotely so I have plenty of time throughout the week to feed, exercise and have fun with your furry friends I am available for drop in visits/house sitting, aa well as dog walking visits. I am able to administer any needed medications when provided with instructions.
“We recently went out of the country for 10 days and needed someone trustworthy to care for our dog, Kai. This was our first time using Rover, and trusting Rebecca with Kai was one of the best decisions we made! From the very beginning, Rebecca was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kai looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. When we returned, Kai was calm, well-cared for, and his usual playful self—Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure he was loved and comfortable while we were away. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated dog sitter, Rebecca is the one. She made our first Rover experience so easy, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Powells Crossroads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Powells Crossroads. 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 Powells Crossroads 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 Powells Crossroads 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 Powells Crossroads 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.
