“Hannah was great with our fur babies and they all loved her! She sent us pictures and videos throughout her stay which made us feel better about leaving them with someone new. She went above and beyond dealing with an accident with one of the pups on her first day and handled everything while we were gone. We recommend Hannah for pet sitting. She took wonderful care of our fur babies and treated our home with l respect. You can trust her with your furry family members.”

About: My name is Luke, I am a CATCH Canine Trainer Academy certified dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement to encourage and maintain behaviors. I have always had a passion for working with dogs but after losing one of my rescues to cancer only 2 months after saving her my passion grew. This had inspired me to help owners and their dogs learn and grow together. I am a Co owner of a food truck which we are only operating part time. On the opposite days I have open availability to help support you and your current fur baby. I am unable to offer boarding for animals at this time. I am certified in pet cpr and first aid through ProPetHero by Pro Trainings

“JaNiya is an angel! She came to save the day when I was all the way in California and a sitter bailed on me. She came in and loved on my puppy, helped put my house back in order and get him on track with his meds. She gave me very helpful updates to ease my worry and also gave some flvery helpful insights as a new dog mom. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.

About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.

About: I have taken care of animals in many forms for over 20 years. I have an acre of fenced-in yard with two dogs that are dog friendly, up to date on shots, and either spayed or neutered. ~ Your fur baby will enjoy their time playing with my dogs, or with me staying at your home and treating your home and your fur baby as one of my own. ~PSI Member and working on basic First Aid and Emergency Care for Animals. ~Willing to provide medications and injections to those babies in need. I work from home so your pet will get any amount of attention it needs. My husband is also a Rover approved sitter, so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times, for those rare times I need to run an errand. If I come to your home your pet will receive the same care and respect as work allows for flexibility to be there with them, giving them full attention. I have an acre fenced yard with outside toys as well as a drinking fountain and plenty of room inside for them to take naps and stay cool and dry on rainy days. We usually go out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks and play time.

About: I have years of experience dog sitting through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also spent a summer volunteering at a local animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant. I only work MIDS on Fridays (normally 12:30-8:30) and Sunday mornings. Any other days I have full flexibility. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I adjust my care to fit their needs. Some pets want lots of playtime and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and space. I also make sure owners stay updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I also tend to stay very close to the house. I like to stay with the animals.

About: When I was young I used to accompany my aunt to her pet sitting jobs, my favorite gig she had was taking care of three dogs: Harley, Kramer and Jax. Two Minature Schanuzers and a Jack Russell Terrier. My only recent sitting job was feeding, scooping litter, giving pets to 4 friendly felines and 1 cute dog named Luna. Luna had a 6 step feeding regiment and was at first very unsure of me being a new person, but I quickly gained her trust. I'm currently taking time off from working so I have complete open-availability. Monday - Sunday 24/7 365. If I'm needed and I don't have any withstanding appointments, I can be there. I have too many pets for a comfortable home-stay, but I'm always available for a quick visit or single day or multiple day visits. I could probably stay full time at someone's residence if needed. I always double, triple check that a key is hidden or placed well. I'm very attentive using doors, checking multiple times if I lock and watch the doors going in and out. I can follow very specific feeding or diet instructions if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sewanee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Sewanee on Rover is $50 per night as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $63 per night. 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 September 2026, there are 121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sewanee. 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 Sewanee 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 Sewanee 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 Sewanee 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
