“Vivien did an excellent job caring for my aging feline on the 4th of July when I had to be away from her. Throughout the evening of fireworks explosions, Vivien kept my Kitty calm and soothed her so that she felt safe. She stayed with her overnight and left when all was well the next morning. The peace of mind this gave me was tremendous. Her communication with me was excellent and she left my home in the same great condition that she found it. I definitely recommend Vivien for you Feline or Canine pet sitting needs and for overnight stays if necessary. I will definitely be calling on Vivian again for her pet care services.”

About: Hi! I’m a homeschool mama to two kids, a small business owner, and a lifelong animal lover. My kids love animals and enjoy having furry friends around, too! Our home is a warm, family-centered place where pets are welcomed with plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I provide a safe, loving, clean, and non-smoking home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. ❤️ I have years of experience with pet sitting and house sitting through Rover, along with a lifetime of caring for my own pets since I was a little girl. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for many friends’ and family members’ pets and can provide references upon request. I’ve also cared for several special-needs dogs and am comfortable administering medications and following individual care routines. We understand how much your pets mean to you because they’re family to us, too. We’ll follow their routines, give them lots of affection, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy some peace of mind while your pets are in our care. 🐶🐱💕 Come as a guest, leave as family. 🐾 I’m a homeschool mama, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m able to work walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and medication into our daily schedule without pets being left alone for long periods. Our family genuinely enjoys having animals around, so caring for pets feels like a natural part of our everyday life. 🐾❤️ Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, meals, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine and instructions closely, while also keeping their home clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Luna usually isn’t super friendly/interact with other people; however Luna was playing with Shelby. She is also reactive towards other dogs, and she walked her with no incidents. She made sure that Luna ate and took her medications (pill and chew) which she does not like to do when I’m gone. Shelby also sent me pictures and videos of Luna while I was gone. I will 100% be booking with her again if I ever go out of town; it brought me a lot of comfort she was being patient with Luna and got her to have some fun while I was gone! (Luna is a GSD for reference)”

(I don't do snakes. I'm sorry! I am terrified) I fostered res ue dogs in the past so my animals are use to new animals coming in and staying for a while. My two boys are really playful. I am hoping to get our backyard to be a scent garden once winter is through. I have experience with: - senior care -Giving oral medication -puppy care -Dogs that have mobility issues I strongly believe that everyone's fur babies should be treated with love and care So, they will always be treated just like my own when you are away I keep my calendar pretty updated. there are times where I am not available the longest is 2 weeks usually. I will always make sure to communicate that to my clients. ****Excluding clients I have met previously. I do require more than a 24 hour notice. Just for safety**** ***I also do not accept unaltered pets for boarding due to safety concerns*** My client's pets are treated like family. We will have play time based of dog's energy level, walks, feeding, and lots of belly rubs. I really want my clients fur babies to be happy when their owners are away.

About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs since I was a child, so working with animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have seven dogs of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes, energy levels, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding and maintaining routines, walking and exercise, potty breaks, crate routines, playtime and enrichment, basic oral medications, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Managing a large pack has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog’s behavior, comfort level, and personality. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work as an independent DoorDash driver, which allows me to create my own schedule and gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. I can plan my DoorDash hours around my Rover bookings, allowing me to prioritize the pets in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and extended care. Because my work schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s normal routine and needs. I also care for my own dogs daily, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I understand the importance of consistency, regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention. My goal is to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible, rather than expecting your pet to adjust to mine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I have a fully fenced-in backyard with three security cameras, which provides additional monitoring and peace of mind. Dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have seven dogs of my own, so I’m experienced with managing a multi-dog household and paying attention to each dog’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level. Introductions are handled carefully, and dogs can be separated when needed so everyone has their own safe and comfortable space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their normal routine and follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household or safety rules. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and closely supervised environment where every pet is treated like family.

About: Hi! I am an avid animal lover and pet owner. Mom to 3 dogs ranging in size from Lab/Shepherd mix to dachshund. I have great sized yard with plenty of room for walks and exercise. I have a separate kennel area if your pets need to be separated from mine. My dogs get along well with other dogs, they are both inside and outside and are welcome on furniture, beds, etc. Although born and raised a country girl in AL, I lived in San Diego CA for 15 years where I got lots of experience being a dog sitter. It is something I have always enjoyed. Your dog will have a great time roaming with us! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m organized and dependable, and I understand that pet owners need someone they can trust to maintain their pets’ routines while they’re away. Pet care isn’t just a task for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I provide loving, attentive care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions if needed, and preferred playtime and cuddle time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their fur babies are in good hands. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their own family.

She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !

Vivien did an exceptional job caring for my dog Poppy and went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and loved. Her communication was excellent, and I especially appreciated receiving daily pictures and updates. What really stood out to me was how well she understands dog behavior and body language. She recognized when my dog was feeling nervous and knew exactly how to comfort and reassure her. She even took her to the front office to visit her friends, which I thought was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog’s happiness and well-being. Knowing my sweet Pops was in such attentive, caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own!

We love having Savannah watch our fur children! She’s very communicative and makes us feel so reassured that they are in the beat of hands. We’re even pretty convinced our youngest dog sees her as one of his best friends. Savannah will always be our go to when we’re looking for a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tanner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Tanner is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tanner. 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 Tanner 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 Tanner 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 Tanner 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 with handling special pet needs in Tanner. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
