“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
“Wow- we will absolutely be requesting Joy’s help again! One of our dogs can be a little difficult but it didn’t phase Joy at all. She sent a ton a photos and videos, and clearly took spending time with the seriously.”
“Abby was excellent with my two rescue dogs! They are each 50 lbs with two different personalities and she handled them perfectly. She was easy-going with them and made them feel comfortable in the house while I was away. She kept up on their medicine schedule and even swept up all their hair! I highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
“Jayne was excellent! She was professional, was patient with my skittish pup, took great care of my senior dog recovering from TPLO surgery, and was considerate of our house and my requests. I hope she’ll be able to come stay with Warren and Kristen again! Thanks, Jayne!”
“Teddy Bear Loved Cheyenne! She sent us pics of him enjoying her company and when we returned home he was centered and happy verses angry at us for leaving him. Cheyenne also left our home spotless. You would not even know she had been here. I will definitely use her again!”
“So glad we found Melissa! I’m actually hesitant to leave a good review because I don’t want her to ever be booked up if we need her! LOL We were nervous to leave our baby with anyone but after meeting Melissa we knew he was going to be well taken care of. She sent us updates and pictures every day. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for loving our fur baby and taking care of our home. Five stars is not enough! 🌟”
“Allison did a great job sitting with our dog while we were on vacation. She asked questions and sent pictures to let us know our pup was ok. We will definitely use Allison again.”
About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others throughout my life. I am familiar with dogs, cats and small animals! I will make sure that your companion has everything they need as well as lots of affection and play time. Capable of providing senior care, but no experience administering medication. I am currently working part-time Wednesday through Friday. I am completely unavailable those days except a morning/night check-in. Saturday-Tuesday I have an open schedule and can be on property as long as needed. Not only will I take care of your fuzzy friend exactly how they need, I am also a great house guest and will ensure your home is in the same condition when you arrive back. I will alert you to anything that may seem wrong on the property and will take care of any pet related messes.
“This is the second time we have booked with Collette for dog sitting. They were well taken care of. It gave us piece of mind to know she was with them. We have already booked with her again for a future trip.”
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“I would give Anna & Patrick a 5 star review! We have a 3 senior fur babies all with completely different personalities and needs and we were so nervous having to leave them. Anna & Patrick were kind and caring not only to our fur babies but were also very understanding of our stressors and they did everything to make our trip successful. When we returned home our babies were not stressed at all! That is a HUGE reassurance that they were well taken care of while we were away. Our home was also in better shape than when we left it. We are so grateful to have found such wonderful, trustworthy, and caring people. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely rebook.”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching all our animals! I got a lot of updates and when we came back, our animals were happy and the house was immaculate! We will definitely be using him again to house sit for us!”
“Sophie was fantastic! She communicated well & was very responsive! Went above & beyond!! This was my first experience using Rover - I’m so glad she made it a great first experience!”
About: I’m a college student at UTK who loves animals and wants to spend more time around them! I’ve pet sit mostly for my family, friends, or coworkers and love meeting new pets! I’m a full time college student so I’ll be primarily open on weekends! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’m available after 4pm, Tuesday 12:30, and Thursday 6pm! I can follow a list of directions easily and feel comfortable communicating any issues or questions I have! All furbabies will be extra loved on and treated with the utmost respect and care in their homes! :)
About: I have healthcare experience in the hospital and with nursing school at UTK. I am quick to problem solve and can figure out solutions in high stress environments. I am passionate, caring, and loving toward animals and can deliver thorough care through patience and adjusting to accommodate the needs of the certain pet. Over the summer, I have occasional trips for my rowing team and occasional plans, but my days are mostly free until August 15th. Once school starts back up in the fall, I will have a more clear schedule of availability. I have 4 cats of my own who have plenty of room to roam around the house. Their litter boxes are cleaned at least once a day, and they are fed at least once a day according to each of their specific diets. They are also thoroughly brushed to get excess dander off, areas of the house are regularly cleaned, and are given plenty of loving attention. I also have a dog, who is a medium sized pit mix rescue, who is fed twice a day and let out of the house to roam and use the bathroom - she is a very tame dog and does not personally need fencing.
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
About: I’m experienced in walking and playing with dogs in the evening. Don’t stress about leaving a dog in my care. They will be in excellent care and thoroughly entertained. I’m available after 5:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I have more flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a part-timer on Rover. I can walk, fed, and entertain your pet to make sure they are satisfied. My home is unfortunately not suitable for boarding pets on the regular. I am able to stay with the pet overnight at their home upon request.
About: In 2020 me and my family started fostering dogs. In that time we fostered over 10 and made sure they got to go to good homes! In that time we also ended up adopting one of the dogs as well. Since then I have always loved being around them. I am an active person and like to be outside and go on walks/runs. I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee. I would be able to fit in a pet care schedule well with my time. I currently only have one class on Monday and Wednesday and I have 3 on Tuesday and Thursday leaving my fridays wide open. Even without a pet right now I go on 2 walks/runs a day so bringing along a buddy to do so would be no problem! I know for pets especially being around a new person can be very stressful so I always think it is a good idea to meet the dog before actually agreeing to pet sit or talk it on walks to make sure that we are familiar with each other.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wooddale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wooddale
Ashley is amazing! We had an emergency situation and sent her a same day request, she responded so quickly, with kindness and empathy. I immediately felt comfortable leaving our pup with her, even without getting to meet her. She was communicative, flexible, and send regular updates and pictures so we knew our boy was well taken care of. Ashley will be a first choice in the future for us! Thank you Ashley!
Tatum took such amazing care of our puppy, Walter, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. He’s still young and very routine-oriented, and she handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. It was clear she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated, was wonderful to communicate with, and treated Walter like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for puppy, which means everything to us. We are so grateful for the care she gave Walter and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in a heartbeat. I would highly, highly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter!

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 Wooddale 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 Wooddale 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 Wooddale 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.
