“Great experience - we will definitely hire her again! She was so thoughtful and patient with our pups who are both high maintenance and have anxiety. She was very reliable and left everything super clean and tidy! Thank you so much Kailyn!!!!”
“Ava is wonderful! She’s is spunky & reserved all rolled into one. She watched our cattle dog who is a lot of puppy (high energy & reactive) for a week and didn’t blink after meeting him. She stepped up to the challenge & met every expectation. She was fabulous+ on communication including pictures & videos of our baby blue. We could not rave about her enough! Thank you, Ava! 🩷”
“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.”
“Asheley was amazing with our senior dog and cats. Our dog got sick a few days into our trip and she was great about sending updates and making sure she was ok (and cleaning up a huge mess!). I would definitely recommend using her.”
About: Ever since I was little, I loved looking after animals big or small. I was the neighborhood kid to call if there was a need for pet care. I started at 10 doing as little as picking up poo from yards to growing up and staying over if the owner was out of town! I have experience with dogs, cats and yes fish at almost every stage of life. I have a long list of clients who would recommend me to look after your furry friend!! I am a part time employee at the moment so I have flexibility in my hours! Depending on the service needed I can make it work along with my schedule. I will be a local college student starting up in August but will continue to have an open schedule! I have a dog of my own and she is one of my top priority’s! When I stay at a clients home I ensure their furry friends have plenty of play and outdoor time. Walks are a non negotiable with my dog so I am very good with taking clients dogs out multiple times a day! Cats have the same priority, I ensure they have play time if that is up their alley or just a couch buddy! Every animal is different so I adjust accordingly!!
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated the entire time we were gone and did an amazing job with our dogs. We will absolutely be going through Sarah for future dog sitting!”
“Susie was amazing! Our dogs immediately loved her, she sent pics while we were gone, and left our house in better condition that we left it! She truly cares about our dogs, I highly recommend her, she's the best!”
“Shannon was awesome! Sent lots of pictures and updates of our pup! We came back to the house exactly as we left it and a very happy pup! Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you!!!!”
“First time the dog had an overnight sitter. Matt did a super job, the dog took to him quickly, never seemed to be anxious. He was a great house guest as well. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
“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!”
“Leigh-Ann was beyond wonderful and the perfect sitter for our 5 month old golden retriever Sonny! 10/10!! Her daily text, photo and video updates made me feel so at ease and allowed me to see the bond that Leigh-Ann and Sonny were forming. We could see that Sonny was so loved and throughly cared for the whole time he was under her care! He even learned some new tricks which Leigh-Ann so intuitively taught him while we were away with great success! I can’t say enough good things, we feel so lucky to have found Leigh-Ann and couldn’t recommend her enough to care for your fury family members!!”
“Jacey was great! Watched our 2 month old puppy overnight and she did a wonderful job! Kept us updated with pictures and videos and did everything she was asked to do! She also left my apartment beautiful, you wouldn’t have even known she was there! Will definitely book again! 💕”
“Natalie did a wonderful job taking care of my three dogs. She catered to each pups personality and needs. She also took great care of my home! I felt safe leaving my family in her care!!”
“Cinamon was great! Super friendly, easy to communicate with and schedule, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I will absolutely be inviting her back to take care of my dog in the future!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. Family friends have asked me for help multiple times and I love Doing it. I have experience with administering medication and with pills for cats and dogs. I’d love to treat your fur babies like my own! I work a full time job in downtown Nashville so it would mostly be for afternoon or overnight care. I also Have availability open up during the day on certain days it just depends, my schedule is pretty flexible. Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced. As someone who loves fitness, I happily provide energetic walks or runs tailored to your dog’s needs.
“We feel so fortunate to have had Hannah and Matt take such good care of our pet family this weekend. They are kind, detail oriented, and they checked in daily with lovely updates. They left the house even tidier than we left it, and they were an absolute pleasure to coordinate and communicate with. We will absolutely ask them to house/pet sit for us again soon!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Harpeth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Harpeth on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Harpeth. 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 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 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.
