About: Hi! I’m Hannah and I’ve been an avid pet lover since I was a little girl and I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I know how special our pets are to us and I can’t wait to make your furry friend (s) feel special too! I have experience not only with pet sitting but as a volunteer at my local animal shelter too and have worked with all age ranges including seniors. I am currently a college student attending MTSU. I do not have a part time job however and my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. My goal with every client is to make your pet feel safe and secure. I am more than happy to provide any service needed to accommodate your pets’ needs. I can feed, walk, and give medications any time. My goal is to minimize any stress and maintain routines.
“Jillian did a fantastic job and Anya was so peaceful and relaxed when I got home. She kept in touch and sent me photos of my girl. The house was left in perfect shape. Wouldn't hesitate to have her take care of Anya again!”
“Chandler was wonderful with our pup! She stayed overnight at our home for several days and did an excellent job. Our home was spotless when we returned and our dog was very happy. Chandler is responsible, professional, and kind and we highly recommend her services!”
“We had such a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Janelle followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and treated our dogs like they were her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups and a house that was just as we left it—which is truly the best feeling after being away! We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Alexis did wonderful with watching my animals in my home!!! She sent pictures and kept me updated with how they were doing the whole time, which I really appreciated!! I would absolutely book her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week including all holidays. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as I would a member of my own family. I can provide additional services if needed such as: Vet Office visits, pickup food & supplies, bathing and some light grooming if needed. If you feel your special friend needs a day of pampering but you just don't have the time to take them I can also provide delivery to some of the local spas. If you ever feel like your best friend is not getting the attention or care that they deserve due to your busy lifestyle I assure you I can assist you with this. I may even be able to provide tips of how you can spend more time with them depending on the situation. I want you to never feel like you have no options or choices when it comes to spending time with your dog('s). In the very near future I will be providing 24 hour surveillance and location (GPS) services to all of my clients for a small additional fee to cover equipment costs.
“Hanna was fantastic! She took great care of our senior boy and made sure he was comfy and happy. She checked in with us and sent lots of pictures. If she’s available, we will be booking her every time we go out of town!”
“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”

“Samantha was so professional and a huge help! I had a family emergency alongside a wedding I had already RSVP'd to, so everything was last minute.

Couldn't have been a better match!”

Nathan was great! He was kind and communicative; kept us updated with our pups, and sent us pics throughout the sitting. Nathan was gracious to accommodate our schedule change when weather delayed our flight home, which helped ease panic with 2 pups at home! Will definitely use Nathan again!

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 Walterhill 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 Walterhill 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 Walterhill 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.
