“She’s a pro!! Stayed at our house with our 10 month old Yorkie who started with diarrhea the day before we were suppose to leave for Disney!! ? Not many would have been willing to watch a sick little guy. Carol is very self sufficient, didn’t need all of my instructions and she made everything super easy for us. I also loved that she did a meet and greet before we left. Oh and a bonus...she brought in all of our packages and mail while we were gone. We had never had anyone stay in our house before. Our pup and our house were very well cared for! Will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in-home sitter! She was so attentive to our two sweet boys and super communicative during our trip. She gave me peace of mind so I could actually enjoy my trip without any worry. She was also very respectful of our home and even washed the sheets/towels before she left which was so kind. We will definitely be rebooking her for our next trip!!!”
“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: 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.
“Jenna has a remarkable memory. Between our meet and greet visit, and to the day before Jenna was to start staying with my dog, she remembered flawlessly everything I had told her about my dog and house. She arrived on time and kept me informed of Diamond's welfare throughout the day. Jenna sent pictures to confirm all was well without me asking her to do so. From my experience, Jenna is an asset to Rover. She was everything I hoped for in a dog/house sitter, and I would be grateful if she agreed to help me out in the future. You can't go wrong with this young woman.”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Austin was wonderful with our two doggies. He is very attuned to dogs and their communication styles and emotional states. After four days away we returned to a clean house and two very happy, well cared, for pups. We will definitely use Austin again.”
About: A lifetime of loving animals—messy paws, big personalities, and all! 🐾❤️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from tiny kittens and wild puppies to big dogs and senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve experienced it all—the zoomies, the accidents, the big messes, the little messes, and most importantly, all the love that comes with them! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Big or small, young or old, energetic or a total couch potato—I love them all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a chiropractor in Franklin: Monday: 8:30-5 Tuesday: 1-6:45 Wednesday: 8:30-1:30 Thursday: 9:30-6 Friday: 8:30-1:30 I am off on the weekends and major holidays. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m respectful of your home and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks,, and any house or pet-care preferences you have.
“Jamie was great! She kept us updated on our dogs and sent pics and I know they were getting lots of love!! She’s extremely communicative and responds quickly! It was a 10/10 experience”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I currently work as a full time veterinary technician at general practice animal hospital where I am pursuing my degree in veterinary technology. I also have previous experience working in veterinary vaccination clinics, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with animal handling, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, following detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have pets of my own, including a large dog and three cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide every pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, both at home and through my work as a veterinary technician. I fit bookings around my work schedule and confirm availability beforehand so each pet gets the time and attention they need. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and care, keep doors and gates secure, and respect your home. You can also expect updates and photos while you’re away!
“Casey took care of our two dogs and cat for a week while we were traveling. She came to our house to meet the “boys” about a week before we left and all three of them took an instant liking to her! She stayed at our house so the boys could be in familiar surroundings and kept us in the loop with photos and texts while we were traveling so we could see what a good time they were having back at home. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. It was a great experience for our boys and for us.”
“Anita was AMAZING!!! Not only did she take excellent care of our stubborn furry baby, she kept watch over our home and we returned to a clean and happy house!! Peace of mind is what you’ll get by hiring her. We cannot recommend her enough. ???”
“Meaghan was an excellent caregiving for our dogs and for our home while we were out of town. She was super easy-going and very responsive to messages and updates. She gave our dogs plenty of play time and exercise and followed all care instructions. Our house was left extremely clean. We will definitely be using Meaghan for house-sitting again!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I dog sat for neighbors, friends, and more. I have cared for a variety of ages and types of dogs. I also have some experience caring for cats as well! I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to make pet care work in any capacity. I am available weekdays or weekends whether it’s dog walking, in home care, or boarding! I will follow whatever preferences or boundaries you have! I do not have any pets currently in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that tends to stay pretty empty if the dog is more active.
“Elyssa was fantastic. Followed my instructions perfectly, provided great updates and always made me feel that my pup was in good hands. Will look forward to booking again!”
“Jen was absolutely fantastic with our boys. We could tell from the meet & greet that she is a natural with animals. We have schnauzers. They both took to her immediately. We needed someone to stay at the house with them. She left the house just as we left it. She even washed their daily food plates! She was great with communication & provided timely updates & photos. We would book Jen again without hesitation.”

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.

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.

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.
