“Ana did an amazing job watching our dogs (and home) while we were away. We came home to a cleaner house than we left with! Thank you!! We will definitely use you again in the future!”
“Elaina was amazing with our pups! She did an awesome job taking care of them and loving on them and sent just the right amount of pictures. They loved her too! She also left our house clean, which was nice! Would highly recommend!”
“Alondra was wonderful! She made sure she fully understood my dogs and my needs before she accepted our booking request. She was always on time and was great at reaching out to me with pupdates along the way. We will gladly be a returning client and are happy to have Alondra as part of our dogs care team. She absolutely gave me peace of mind while traveling without my doggo by my side.”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I absolutely love animals of ALL kinds. I have 30+ years of experience caring for them. I have several references of people (friends) that have relied on me to care for their animals while they were away. Please let me know if you would like to meet and schedule today. I am currently not working so I can drop in to care for your pets 1-2 times a day. I always stay and give them pets/love because they miss their parents. We live in Ringgold (NE side) on 2 acres with a 6 foot privacy fence in the back yard. We currently have two Labs: Copper Ray, Abigale DeLaney “Abbie” and two cats Cassie Marie (Bobtail), and Oliver Patrick “Ollie” (Part Maine Coon) They all love laying on the couch together while inside. When they are outside they enjoy running, playing and hunting.
“Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!”
“Emilie did a great job. Our pups were well taken care of and happy with her. She communicated well and quickly and I never felt like I couldn't get ahold of her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed their pets taken care of.”
“Abigail did a great job caring for all of my animals, my dog, 4 cats and my two horses. She was very attentive and caring with them. She stayed in touch and sent me pictures! My little dog Annie is very timid so she stayed at the house for me. I was so glad when she told me she was warming up and sleeping with her! I was gone for eight days and everyone was well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely be using Abigail again!”
“Chas was a wonderful house-sitter and pet watcher! We returned home to super relaxed, happy pets and a clean home...and communication throughout our trip was exactly what we were looking for in order to rest assured that all was well. What a treat to go away and know that your pets and home are in good hands! Thank you, Chas!”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pet while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and potty routine while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for scheduled visits throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate each pet’s established routine. My calendar will always be kept updated so pet owners can confidently book the dates they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each owner. I keep pets supervised, secure doors and gates, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“Toni was absolutely fantastic to work with and did an outstanding job caring for our pets. Communication was thorough and prompt at all times. Toni continuously went above and beyond to make sure Ari & Boss (and our home!) were all exceptionally well cared for. She even navigated an off-leash dog encounter and managed to keep all pets safe, like a total pro. We have full trust in Toni after this experience and will happily book her again whenever possible! Highly recommend!!”
About: Hello, my name is Anna! I am a registered nurse in Chattanooga. With my extra time, I would love to help take care of animals in our community while their parents are away. I have worked and volunteered with animals for years. Shoot me a message and we can get to know each other! I work Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm and have free time on most Saturdays and Sunday's. During the week I could do check-ins at 6am or after 5:45 pm. I am available many weekends. Our family has loved many cats over the years, and our latest kitty required fluid injections every other day and medications and ear ointment. I am used to providing detailed care and lots of love and play too. I am very organized, and that has been useful when pet sitting.
“We are so grateful that Keelee was able to accept our dog and house sitting job on last minute notice! She was very communicative and I felt completely comfortable with her in my home and with my pups. We just moved to town and I am so thankful to have found Keelee!”
“Cherish is exceptional. This was our first time using a service like this and leaving our two young, high energy cattle dog mixes with a sitter. Historically we do boarding with day care. Our dogs loved her. It was evident in the meet and greet and further emphasized in the numerous videos, pictures and updates we received throughout our six night vacation. The peace of mind versus boarding is unmatched. Charish is responsive, thoughtful and tidy. Our house looked better than we left it! We are thankful we have found her and would highly recommend to anyone nervous about leaving your pets. You get to enjoy your trip knowing your pups are being loved and having fun. 10/10.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Varnell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Varnell on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Varnell. 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 Varnell 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 Varnell 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 Varnell 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Varnell. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
