“Jaci was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind, and was excellent in her communication. She took great care of my dog, and my dog clearly liked being with her and around her. I would highly recommend!”
“This was a first time experience. I am very particular about my Baby Dog. This was incredible! Denita went way beyond over the top. Just hope I can get her again for some trips next year! And my dog was not mad when we got home because we had been gone…so I know he was happy!?”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter. She kept me updated on my dogs wellbeing which was really appreciated and made my trip more enjoyable. The house was in perfect order when we returned home and Sydney gave her and her husband a thumbs up. I have already booked her for our next trip. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years. I have also been a part time dog groomer for a couple of years. I have experience with dogs as small as French Bulldogs to as large as Spanish Mastiffs and Bernese Mountain Dogs. I have experience with LOTS of dogs and cats. My mother is a dog breeder, so I have experience caring for puppies from birth all through the puppy and adult stages. I am a full time college student and volunteer soccer coach, so I will not be able to always stay at a home for hours at a time. I take top precautions when pet sitting in people's homes, sending pictures, messaging owners, and calling if there are any issues or uncertain about something.
“We had Jay stay in our house dogsitting for 2 weeks. We received frequent updates and when we arrived back the house was in immaculate condition and our dog Missy even received a final day bath. Very pleased with booking.”
“Ben’s service to our dog and our family was top-notch. He was prompt for the meet and greet meeting, he messaged ahead on the day of the booking to see if there was anything that needed changed. He went above and beyond with watching our dog: taking her for a walk and playtime in the backyard. He texted us photos and even a concern about a skin blemish with our dog. He cleaned up very well after himself, even laundering our guest bedroom bedding. We recommend his services to anyone who has need. And we will definitely be booking him again.”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds and can help with farm animals as well. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
“Bradishia did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs, one of which is a senior. She left the house clean and even started the washing machine for sheets and towels. I plan to utilize Bradishia's pet services for our next trip.”
About: Growing up, my family had a home rescue of 10 dogs and 6 cats. During my time there, I helped care for all the animals by walking, feeding, administering medication, cleaning, and of course keeping them company! Check-ins with your pet and dog walking: Anytime Pet sitting: Weekdays- I ask for a wi-fi connection to work remotely. Weekends-Anytime Boarding: I have 1 cat who will be kept in a separate room. Currently boarding cats only. Anytime. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of companionship. Growing up in a home rescue gave me lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. For pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedules while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also offer cat boarding in my home. Please note, I have one cat who will be kept in a separate room. I provide a calm, comfortable space where cats can settle in at their own pace, with regular care, playtime, and companionship. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Charish watched my little guy again while I traveled for my job. My pup was calm and happy when I got home and house was spotless! She even took care of some house stuff when weather was coming in. Thank you Charish for being the most awesome pet/house sitter!!”
“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”

I keep pets entertained, comfortable, and secure, ensuring they feel at home, whether it's in their own space or mine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watts Bar Dam
This was the first time we have ever had a pet sitter stay in our home. We were out of town at a family reunion. Denita did a wonderful job of keeping us informed through photos and texts while we were gone. I never worried for one minute. Both of our pups were totally comfortable with Denita. Our needy little miniature daschund Evie even slept with Denita--as she always does with us! In addition all of our mail was picked up and our plants were cared for as we had requested. We definitely plan to use Denita again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Watts Bar Dam
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Watts Bar Dam on Rover is $80.25 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 122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Watts Bar Dam. 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 Watts Bar Dam 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 Watts Bar Dam 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 Watts Bar Dam 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.

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.
