About: I absolutely love dogs!!! I have a dog niece and dog nephew who I absolutely adore, and watch whenever I get the chance. I connect super well with every dog I watch, and genuinely care for each puppy. I make sure every pup is happy and taken care of. I am currently a nursing student here in Nashville, so my schedule is pretty open for the most part! My classes are online, so it makes for a flexible schedule! I ensure to follow the owners instructions very carefully, and check in with them as much as possible! I also make sure the pups feeling well, and stay in contact with owners as far as that goes.

About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
About: I genuinely love caring for my friends’ and family’s pets. Animals have always brought me a lot of joy, and I take their comfort, routine, and well being seriously. I love spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while my loved ones are away. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention, care, and play they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Because my schedule is more open right now, I’m able to be very attentive, present, and engaged with your pets rather than rushing through their care. I’m very gentle, patient, and loving with pets, and I always want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. I know every animal has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, so I take my time earning their trust and making sure they feel cared for. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or high energy, I approach them with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love.
“Courtney was great! Communicative and reliable. Followed instructions I left. And went above and beyond taking care of the house. Came home to happy healthy dogs! Would and will use her again.”
“Hannah helped us out last minute and took care of our house and dogs and did such an incredible job. She came for a meet and greet and took detailed notes. She followed all our dog care instructions, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Dogs were very happy when we got home and all the sheets and towels had already been washed and put back. We got lots of great updates. We highly recommend her for pet care, and housesitting!”
“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. Samantha was prompt, even flexible with me, and took such good care of my home and my girl. I got pictures and funny stories the whole time I was gone! Will absolutely be a repeat customer. Couldn't have been a better match!”
“Michael was wonderful with our dog, Bear, and we would absolutely recommend him\. He came over about a week before our trip to meet Bear and go over everything with us, which we really appreciated\. From the beginning, he was kind, respectful, trustworthy, and great with Bear\. Michael stayed at our home for three nights and was very good about sending us updates while we were away\. Unfortunately, Bear got sick and threw up one of the days, and Michael handled it so well\. He let us know right away, kept us updated, and cleaned everything up\. When we got home, the house was very clean and Bear was happy and well cared for\. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing both Bear and our home were in such good hands\. Michael is a genuinely nice, respectful guy, and we would definitely use him again\. Highly recommend\!”
About: Whether it’s my own family pup and cat, or a friend in need, taking care of our furry friends is a responsibility and a privilege! I want to give pet owners peace of mind and reassurance that their pet is cared for by me just as they would. I currently work nights, which leave my days open for morning and evening visits around work! I am happy to accommodate for overnight sits if I can! My home is safely located, with a fenced in backyard and park down the street! I have one furry roommate, our husky Klea, who is quite timid and friendly!
“Courtney was great! We were gone for 11 days and it was such a relief to know our fur baby was well taken care of, even when he had a run in with a skunk. She handled it like a champ! I highly recommend her.”
“Grayson was absolutely amazing! She stayed with Piper for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is so sweet, an amazing communicator, and sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. Piper was OBSESSED with her and clearly had the best time! 🥰 She also left my place incredibly clean and took such great care of everything while I was gone. I felt completely at ease knowing Piper was in such good hands. I would 100% recommend Grayson to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs. We will definitely be using her again!! 🤍”
About: I’ve taken care of hundreds of dogs over the past 2 years, all of different ages and sizes, with different needs. From walking, transporting, playing, supervising playtime, cuddling, cleaning, and assisting those in need, I am capable of doing just about anything you need for your fur baby. (Worked at Greymont kennel services and Chasing Tail Pet Farm, have done pet sitting off of rover, and have owned multiple dogs of different age/size, with different limitations) I have work from 0500-1630 but I’m still available on weekends can still work around those times I just need to be able to make it to work on time!! In your home, your pets comfort and safety are a top priority, as is respecting your space. Your home will always be left as it was found if not better, and your pets won’t be lonely with me around!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!
About: I haven taken care of dogs, cats, and even turtles since I was 14! I've helped out my neighbors with their pets since I was a little kid. I've walked, fed, sat, and checked in plenty of times for dogs and cats! One thing about me to know, is I will always make sure that lil fur baby has fresh water everyday as well, haha! Hydration station!! I currently am not working so I am free most days and nights! The main thing I have been doing is taking care of everyone around me and I would love to do the same with every and anybody I can. I definitely am more awake towards the end of the day/night! I am always here to communicate and see what works best for everyone though! :~) I've had cats my entire life and have walked/fed/house sat many many dogs in my life! Cats as well. I mean I just care about animals a lot. I think they deserve all the love, safety, and compassion in the world. I have always always had a connection to animals. They tend to get comfortable with me pretty quickly and I get comfortable with them even quicker haha!! I have always kept fur babies safe and feel loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Harpeth
Rienna was an amazing dog sitter and house guest while we were out of town! Our dogs are older and have their individual needs from daily medication, daily diapers and non slip socks and she was so patient and caring with them. She went above and beyond and would hire her again and again!
Anna is AMAZING! She booked with us last minute to stay at our home and take care of our 2 dogs and cat while we went out of town. She is quick to respond, very punctual, and followed every instruction perfectly. Our pets loved her and she sent us several photos of them while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her and give her 5 stars all the way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Harpeth is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $103 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.

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 West Harpeth 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 West Harpeth 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 West Harpeth 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.
