“Great dog sitter! Teresa kept me updated throughout my whole weekend away. She sent pictures and took my dog on hikes. She took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend Teresa as a dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out if I need a dog sitter again. Thanks Teresa!!”
“Chas was awesome! One of my dog had a health issue while I was away and she was quick to spot it and even went to the store to get him the required medication. She definitely went above and beyond and I highly recommend booking her.”
“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”
About: Accepting last minute bookings. 💕 Full time work from home, looking after your pet is my full time job! Professional house & dog sitter & cleaner 🏡 I have experience in house sitting and animal care while owners are on vacation or out of town. I have experience in watering plants and general upkeep & house cleaning. Located in Saint Elmo 🏔 ❤️ Exercise and fresh air is very important to me, so I can assure you that your dog will get plenty of exercise, sunshine, and fresh air! Have a fenced in back yard & close to walking trails. Plenty of frisbees and tennis balls. 🎾 I only take 1 client at a time to ensure quality time and no overcrowding. My family’s had dogs for about 12 years now, and I love taking care of them. I recently got my own dog 12 years ago, and it was the best decision of my life. I don’t view looking after a dog as a job, I look at it as a joy! ❤️ I also help participate in fundraising/crowd funding to help dogs and dog families in need. I strongly believe that all dogs deserve to be loved, no matter the case. I am a professional belly scratcher, pro fetcher, and and exceptional walker. I love getting exercise just as much as they do. My dog is very high strung and hyper, so I can handle “overly energized” dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs. Thanks for reading, I look forward to meeting your dogs! I take this very seriously, and I will ensure to keep you constantly updated with pictures! I am home quite often so I have created a schedule with the pups to keep them entertained and energized. Plenty of potty breaks and tennis balls. My home has a fenced in yard on a piece of land. This property is completely secure and safe, plenty of room to run and play.
“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 13. I’m comfortable with all different sizes, from Rottweilers to Shih Tzus! I am available all day on the weekends, during the week I work part-time at a 50% remote/50% in office job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to let them outside, take them for walks, and make sure they are safe and happy! I always make sure to respect the space that I’m in, and I make sure that the dogs routine is maintained and needs are met!
“Justin was wonderful with our sweet senior girl. He came over for the meet and greet and she loved him instantly. He was prompt and sent us pictures of their time together. We will definitely request Justin again as we travel over the summer months.”
About: I am comfortable staying overnight as well as ensuring your animals feel comfortable with me. I have been professionally walking my friend’s dog five days a week for two years now. I will make sure to stick to their normal routines, so they are less stressed. I hope I can give your animals lot of love and pets! Im usually available, but even at my job—I am still able to drop in around my lunch. So I’ll make sure to drop in as much as possible I am not able to keep any animals at my home due to me not renting or owning a home ( I’m a college student ).
“I am very particular when it comes to my puppy baby and this was by far the BEST experience I have had using rover. Shelby sent me updates, pictures, and followed my pups schedule to a tee. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be using Shelby again.”
“Toni did a great job house and dog sitting for us! She sent pics, is very kind, conscientious, and clean! She made sure the dogs were happy in our absence. We could tell they had a good week when we got home. I highly recommend Toni, and we would absolutely use her again.”
“Laurie was fantastic! We have never had anyone but family watch our dogs so we were hesitant. We have 3 dogs- 2 are extremely active. Laurie came to meet them a few days before and we went through their routine. She arrived promptly on her scheduled day and sent pictures per request. The dogs were very happy! I highly recommend Laurie!”
About: With over two years of experience house sitting for friends and family—often for extended periods—I’ve earned a strong reputation for being dependable, respectful, and truly dedicated to the pets I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to provide both companionship and specialized care, especially for older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply offering comfort and snuggles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time! But my schedule is completely up to me and flexible. The good thing about the job I work at is I get to create my own schedule! As long as I am kept in the loop with the people I provide services for dog sitting, walking, and care will always be my top priority! I treat every home and pet I care for with the same respect I’d want for my own. I always follow routines closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving medication—and make sure pets stay safe by double-checking doors, gates, and anything they might get into. I’m clean, organized, and careful to leave the home just as I found it. Most importantly, I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Trust and safety are always my top priorities!
“Ami did a great job for us. The dogs were happy and content when we arrived at home. Our house was as we left it and she took care of things like taking the garbage out while we were gone. She was polite, thorough, and did an excellent job for us. We would use her again for sure.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rossville is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rossville
Lauren was wonderful! She was extremely responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of what I was comfortable with and what I wanted out of Hope’s stay. I absolutely loved all the updates and pictures she sent, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She even left our house better than she found it! Hope can be a bit of a nervous dog, but she seemed so happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home. It was such a great feeling knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Lauren and would happily book with her again!
Kyle was an exceptional dog sitter to our 4 pups. He gave us updates on them from the first day we left, and then numerous times a day each day we were gone. He went above and beyond our expectations. He cleaned, did laundry , took out trash and even vacuumed floors. Couldn't ask for anything more. We would highly recommend Kyle to anyone needing his service!
So grateful for Melissa jumping in last minute to help us out. Never have used Rover before so was hesitant to get a stranger to look after our pups, but Melissa was relaxed yet attentive immediately from the moment I met her. The girls weren’t anxious at all upon us getting home and that’s saying a lot. Will definitely be using Melissa again!
Rebooking was a no-brainer because he’s still the best sitter we’ve ever had. Our dogs absolutely love him — the kind of love where they barely notice we’re leaving. He kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and took them on long walks so they could catch up on all their neighborhood “pee-mails.” Always a relief to return to happy pups, even though they’re already plotting our next trip so they can get Jadarius to come back!

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 Rossville 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 Rossville 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 Rossville 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.
