“Amy was an outstanding sitter for my senior pup! She built trust with him quickly - including with his insulin injections - and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Amy was a great communicator, provided wonderful updates, and was a respectful house guest. We look forward to having Amy over again!”
“Simply wonderful. Courtney took great care of our Great Dane, Marty— even took care of things we forgot to tell her! She stayed at our house and it was such a comfort knowing she was there with our big guy. Would recommend Courtney to anyone needing her pet sitting services. Exceptional!”
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 a very flexible schedule, but I do have to be available for school drop off and pick up. (0700 then again at 1500) 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!
“Carol was patient and caring, sitting for our cat while we were away. Cats usually don't require much attention, especially ours. He feels more secure when someone is present rather than left alone, and his behavior shows this. Carol kindly and patiently adjusted to our wishes by spending time at our home to care for him. We very much appreciated her help while we were away.”
“Madison was absolutely amazing!! She kept me updated the whole time I was out of town, and my pup Bandit had the best time with her!!! I can’t wait for Madison to stay with Bandit again sometime, and I would highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I had a pet-sitting service for 15 years, and then I started caring for dogs in my home through Dog Vacay. I took a break to care for my ailing mother and then I became a Nanny to a newborn boy. He is now 4 years old and my services are no longer needed. I am also a missionary to Uganda. I've been helping with a woman's ministry since 2007. I can not be idle, so I'm reactivating my Rover profile. I’m available for Drop-In visits or House Sitting. I am retiring as a Nanny and I am reactivating my Rover account. I’m not taking care of pets in my home, but I can come to you; Drop-Ins and House Sitting. While I am in your home, I will also bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, and bring in or take out your trash bins. I can come to you, Drop-Ins or House Sitting. While I’m there with your pets, I will also bring in your mail, trash in & out, water your plants, etc.

About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!
“Stella was great. Took care of my two boys in my home which made me feel so much better that they could be out and not alone for longer periods. Also plenty of updates and available when I needed to talk to her. I really appreciate it and could tell my pups were comfortable. Thank you Stella!!!”
About: Lived with cats my whole life and can help and adapt to whatever pet needs care. I’ve taken care of mostly cats and some dogs over the years. I work as a gig worker for Convention Production Rigging and I take jobs as they are given. Some of their jobs they give me may be last minute, but I will only take them if it doesn’t conflict with a booking. I have 2 cats at home and they live a very comfy life. We have an automatic litter box that I perform maintenance on when necessary, dry food always available and wet food at night. They have cat trees for climbing and plenty of soft seats and beds for resting.
“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL. Elizabeth is kind & sweet and I know she gave loving care to Billy. Elizabeth sent us pictures everyday with updates as to how the day went. Which was always a good day with Billy. Elizabeth is responsible caring not only for our dog Billy but also our home. Highly recommend Elizabeth, oh, our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left.”
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.
“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. ???”
“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.”
“Frankie was great! The dogs had fun, the house was in good shape, and Frankie did everything I asked, including sending frequent pictures. Would definitely book with them again!”
About: I have experience with many animals including dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals! I’m an aspiring veterinarian and a part time veterinary assistant at a mixed practice animal hospital. I have hundreds of hours of experience with my local veterinarian, dog walking at my local animal shelter, and pet sitting. I was trained at the Williamson County Animal Center to work with dogs showing early signs of severe behavioral issues. I have experience with wary, unsure dogs who need time to warm up. I have experience with disabled animals including those with spinal injuries, cerebral hypoplasia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, age related problems, and more. I have raised and cared for several puppies, but I also care for many seniors. I have an 11 year old dog myself! I’m currently a commuting college student who has availability before/after school that allows me to take care of pets in the Franklin, TN area in my free time! I am very vigilant when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of the animals in my care. I treat your babies like my own and am quick to alert you if something feels wrong!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whiteoak
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,361 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whiteoak. 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 Whiteoak 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 Whiteoak 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 Whiteoak 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.
