“Ms. Carol saved the day and goes above and beyond! Our home is in the middle of a renovation, no wifi or tv. Carol was willing to forgoe her comfort to help us out. I will be forever grateful and Pé and Kal love her, too!”
“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!!!!”
“Susie was great and took really good care of our pets. Lots of walks and pictures helped us feel confident things were going well when we were away. Will definitely use her and Rover again. First time rover user here and happy with the experience.”
“Janine is amazing! We moved to the area a few months ago, and one of my biggest worries has been what to do with our pets when we travel. We have a cat and an anxious dog we've never boarded so I wanted to find a sitter that would stay at our house. Janine was perfect! She has such a calm demeanor and was happy to accomodate anything we asked. While we were gone, she sent tons of pictures of our pets. She gave me complete peace of mind. We will be booking her again!!”
“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! 🩷”
“She is so amazing. She takes wonderful care of 2 dogs and cat. Lot pictures and communication. She is en left a pictures of each pet that looks hand done. She great artist.”
“David was amazing. He communicated and sent pics all throughout his stay. The house was maintained perfectly and it seemed that one of our dogs was actually disappointed to see us instead of David when we arrived home because they had bonded so strongly. David is a kind man and our dogs were instantly accepting of him. It’s hard for me to leave our home and fur babies in the care of someone we don’t know, but David did not disappoint. We will definitely ask him back!”
“I can’t recommend Austin enough! He sent regular updates, communicated clearly, and was really tuned in to how Bear was feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Bear was in such thoughtful hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We've had amazing experiences with Rover dog/house sitters, but Taylor was, by far, the best we've ever used. She was an amazing communicator prior to the job and especially while we were away. She was easily able to meet prior to the job and took notes as we walked around the house and as she met Layla. She was kind and friendly and easy to get to know. We got detailed reports each day and photos throughout the day while we were gone. Layla is an elderly dog who requires frequent "potty breaks" and some medicine. Taylor was on top of it and made sure our anxious old girl was very relaxed and got exactly what she needed. She also took great care of our home- bringing packages in and making sure to bring her sheets & towels to wash before she left. We'd be honored to have Taylor back any time!”
“Blaise and Kendall were great with Betty. This was our first time using them after a recent move to a new part of town. It was comforting finding someone so close to home. They left our home in great shape. The bread and treats were a great gesture also. Will be using again.”
“We absolutely loved Jamie and would definitely use her again to care for our fur babies. We were out of the country for two weeks and she did an incredible job feeding, giving snuggles, exercising and providing lots of good quality time with our cavapoo pup and Siamese kitten. Jamie sent us tons of pictures while we were gone and kept us very updated on how everyone was doing, and she took wonderful care of our home as well, keeping it clean and bringing in the mail. We loved Jamie and so did our pets!”
“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!”
“Matthew did a great job taking care of our dog. He showed up on time, made sure Hank got his walk, and gave him the special care that you would expect from a family member. We highly recommend him.”
About: Growing up always having dogs and cats, lizards, fish and even a tarantula, I am no stranger to pet care. I have previously worked at a vet clinic as a kennel technician, gaining lots of knowledge of pet care there along with learning a lot about pet health. I also used to work at a dog boarding facility that ran a tight schedule, so I am used to following the schedule needs of every pet. As I am now back in school, I would love to take care of your pets the environment that they are used to. My schedule may vary, so don’t be afraid to send me a message to double check!! I have classes from 11am-1pm Mondays-Thursdays this semester and my weekends (Friday-Sunday) are completely free. Wednesdays my schedule is full due to personal reasons, thank you. I can feed, walk, play, supervise, take potty, and administer medication like insulin shots, etc. I can watch over them and take care of pets if the owner is out of town as well.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Harpeth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Harpeth on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,416 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Harpeth. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
