“We just got home from our trip and I couldn’t be happier! Susie took wonderful care of my fur babies. We had a wedding to go to across the country this weekend. I have a farm and have left a farm sitter in charge of my livestock when going out of town before, but I have 3 dogs who have never been boarded…they normally stay with family (they were also out of town). One of my guys is a 16 year old Pomeranian with lymphoma and some other health issues. I was actually considering skipping the trip to the wedding bc I didn’t want to leave my 3 alone. I am so glad I found Susie. She came out before I booked to meet my pets and ensure we were all familiar with each other. She listened about the needs of each pet and agreed to stay at my home with them to see to their needs (my husband works from home so they are used to having someone around). This weekend she send frequent updates including photos and video. She even managed to win my cat over (I figured she would never even see the cat). When my farm sitter was late getting here Saturday, Susie even fed and watered my pot bellied pig for me ??? without being asked. To top it off, she washed the sheets in the guest room where she stayed and remade the bed for me this evening before we got home. I didn’t expect that but certainly appreciated it. I came home to my house in better condition than when I left. Susie is a class act all the way around and I would definitely book her again if we need a house or pet sitter. I recommend her without reservation!”
“Kailyn was fantastic, sent us lots of photos and was great with our pets. She even made us fancy tomato soup from the vegetables in our garden - above and beyond!”
“Elizabeth watched our pets, 2 dogs and 1 cat, for 4 nights in our home. She was fantastic! Everyone was happy when we got home and she left the house tidy. Our cat, who sleeps with our son regularly and doesn’t sleep with me even when my son is gone, slept with Elizabeth in my room! He’s a little selective about people so I’m impressed that she won him over.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Natalie was so attentive and kind to my little one! She stayed in touch with me in my absence. My chi is very offish to almost everyone, but she took to Natalie right away. I couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely ask her back!”
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.
“Leah was fabulous! She was so patient and willing to work with my feisty puppy who just turned a year old. With her background she was gracious with his anxiety and they connected beautifully!!! Leah kept me in the loop and sent great pictures so I could be worry-free and enjoy my trip. I will definitely use Leah’s services 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!!”
“Lauren was the best dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout the week , took great care of my Coco and they had a great time together. Walked him 3 times a day and played with him all day as well as cuddles! She has a lot of experience with pets and I highly recommend her , she also stayed at my place and took great care of it. Thank you from me and Coco🫶🏻”
“Jenna was fantastic! She stayed at our house with our two girls for over a week. She took great care of them with walks and comforted them during the thunderstorms. She gave our older girl medication when needed. She even made sure all of our outdoor plants were watered, especially the tomatoes! Jenna is also a talented artist and she painted a portrait of the girls as a gift which was amazing. Most importantly, she gave us peace of mind while were gone and the girls and our house were exactly as we had left them. We would highly recommend Jenna and will definitely use her again!”
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 have grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for house, farm, and hunting dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Being around so many different types of dogs has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic care, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own and always make reliability, attention, and communication a priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available from mornings through after dinner for walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care. Because of my flexible routine, I’m able to adjust to a pet’s normal schedule and make sure they stay comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep a clean, secure environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels relaxed and cared for while they’re away. I also keep owners updated with daily messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and in good hands.
“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.”
“Gwen went above and beyond. Got regular pics of the dogs who seemed to be loving their time. She followed instructions really well and kept us informed. Good experience and treated the dogs and the house like her own. Will definitely be using 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!”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
