About: I have three pups of my own, (Roosevelt, 6 year old border collie, Sadie B, 5 year old dalmatian mix, and Chewbacca, 1 year old Carolina dog.) They are all rescues. I adore them, they are my babies. I would have many more if I had a farm and could talk my husband into it. I visit dog shelters regularly and become familiar with all the pups. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pups when you go out of town. Please contact me with your pet sitting needs. Thanks "Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes it." "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." "Be the person your dog thinks you are"
“Anna provided phenomenal care for my dog while I was away! She stayed overnight at my place, and left it in great shape, provided regular photos and updates of my pup, administered medications, and my pup seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend her!”
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!
“Erika took superb care of our elder dog, Allie! Our house was also well taken care of so clean when we got home. I highly recommend Erika to sit for all the pets! We will be contacting Erika again to sit for our girl ❤️”
“Blaise was great! She kept in contact with me and sent me multiple pictures. She followed all instructions for Athena’s care. We are so thankful that Athena was cared for by such a caring person. Athena absolutely loved Blaise!”
About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals with many different needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering owner-provided medications as directed, monitoring pets closely, and following veterinary instructions for pets that need extra attention. My animal experience also includes working at PetSmart and years of caring for my own dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m comfortable with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and individualized care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. Before and after work, I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, monitor, and spend one-on-one time with the pets staying with me. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication schedules, exercise restrictions, or other instructions provided by the owner. Safety is always my top priority. I have a spacious home and a large backyard where pets can have plenty of room to play, exercise, and relax. I closely supervise animals and can keep pets separated when needed based on their personality, size, comfort level, or medical needs. Because of my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also comfortable noticing changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, or general condition. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are away from home.
“Things were as we left them. She was Polite. Sweet and kind to all our animals. And she is a Christian women that I didn’t mind having in my HOUSE ….. When we got home the babies were happy and they got fed well. Thank you Carol for rescuing us from our sitter Troubles .. so nice to meet you MAAM . We are rebooking soon .”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.
“Tressyre was absolutely AMAZING with our boys! Not only did she make them comfortable in our home, she was also extremely communicative and timely in her responses! She is definitely or new sitter! My boys love her, and so do we!”
About: Hi! My name is Zoey, I am 19 and a current sophomore at Austin Peay State University studying g Veterinary Technology. I worked at a doggy daycare in Knoxville for just about 2 years! I am able to read body language, groom and care for dogs, and also bond with any dog regardless of temperaments! I care for a high energy dog of my own so my daily routine includes making sure my dog has plenty of exercise each day, while also making sure she has the right amount of rest. I always make sure to bond with a dog and make sure their comfort comes before mine! I never want a dog to feel scared or uncomfortable around me or my other animals.
“Alexis always takes amazing care of my pup, he loves playing with her and her dog Riley, they are the best of friends! She is courteous and respectful of my house and I always can travel worry free knowing my pup is in great hands until I come home. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Cydney is my favorite rover I’ve used so far. She stayed at my house for four days and watched my two dogs. I came home to a clean home with two happy, well fed doggies. She was so sweet, responsive, and followed my long list of detailed instructions. I was stress free my entire trip. I havn’t felt like that with other rovers. I will definitely be using Cyd again and referring her to my mother as well.”
About: I’ve almost always had dogs in the house growing up, and now I share my home with three friendly kitties who adore dogs. Animals have always been part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also volunteer with Wags & Walks, which has given me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That time has taught me how important patience, compassion, and consistency are when it comes to keeping pups happy and safe. What sets me apart is my reliability and genuine love for animals. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine—whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or special care for senior dogs. You can always expect plenty of love, attention, and updates while your pup is with me. Because I work for myself and mostly from home, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra company throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your pup or kitty’s routine so they stay happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have a calm, loving environment where they can feel secure and cared for. At home, I have three friendly cats who are used to being around dogs, and I always ensure proper introductions and supervision if pets are staying with me. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, and I always keep a close eye on details like locked doors, secure leashes, and clean water. My goal is to give both pets and their parents peace of mind—knowing their furry loved ones are safe, happy, and in good hands.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.
About: I’ve always been an advocate for animals. Their innocence, loyalty, and dedication to humans is unwavering so I try to give them love in return. I just left my 9-5 to per-sue what makes me happy and still make money. Caring for animals will give me the ability to spend more time with mine also. I have 3 dogs in my home so I would care for your pet in your home. Plus I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes. I have a live in dog sitter so my pets always have someone with them giving me the time to help other people with their pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Yellow Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yellow Creek. 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 Yellow Creek 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 Yellow Creek 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 Yellow Creek 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.

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.
