“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve also pet and house sat for numerous families, caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. My husband and I currently have three dogs of our own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Since my husband works from home, our dogs are well cared for while I’m able to dedicate my time and attention to your furry family members. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I strive to provide the same love, consistency, and care that your pets receive when you’re home. Having had a few disappointing experiences with pet sitters myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I’m committed to providing dependable communication, treating your home with respect, and making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and ensure your pets are excited to see me every time I visit. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they can stick to their normal routine and receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or overnight companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, going for walks, or giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it. I’ll make sure doors and gates are locked and pets are safely leashed or contained when needed. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pets are doing well while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention they’re used to at home.
“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.”
“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.”
“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job house sitting for us. We are so thankful that she was available for us last minute for a weekend trip. She checked in with us every day, sent photos, and kept us updated on our pets while we were gone. It was a great experience. 100% recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs/cats for family and friends ever since I was 10. I adopted the sweetest pitty 6 years ago, she is great with all other animals and loves to have playdates! I am very reliable when it comes to going on walks or making a trip to the bark park! I am currently a full time graduate student. I have plenty of time in the afternoons on weekdays, and all day on the weekends to spend time with your furry friends! I am available to take care of your furry friends at home, and will maintain a healthy and safe environment for you and your pets!
“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”
“Lindsey was great house-sitting at our home with our two kitties. One of our cats is elderly and requires medication and the other is young and needs a lot of attention. Lindsey gave us lots of photo and text updates while we were gone and the cats seemed happy and relaxed with her. Thank you Lindsey!!”
“Jenni was so great with our puppers! We just recently moved to the area and we were nervous about leaving them with someone new as we have only ever left the dogs with our parents but she was great and our doggos were as happy as could be!”
“Elaina was amazing and took great care of our elderly pups. She checked in and sent some pictures throughout the week and we knew they were both happy and content. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Caitlyn watched our pup while we were on vacation for almost a week. Our house looks spotless upon returning and our pup was so happy to see us. We got daily updates which were great and gave us peace of mind knowing that he was well taken care of!”
“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.”
“Patricia was an excellent dog sitter. She was conscientious and loving with my dogs. She kept in consistent communication with me. She left my house in good order. I was very pleased.”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours volunteering in the community (Knoxville), which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and a few hours of companionship, and I’m also open to overnight stays in a clean and comfortable home. I typically work during the day for about 7 hours, usually from 6 AM–1 PM or 8 AM–3 PM, but I’m happy to stop by before and after work to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they need. I’m respectful of your home, your instructions, and your pet’s boundaries. My experience has taught me the importance of being responsible, observant, and prepared, especially in situations where someone is depending on me. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. P.s - MY dog is a RUNNER so don’t worry I know how to make sure they stay inside.
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Zacharytown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zacharytown. 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 Zacharytown 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 Zacharytown 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 Zacharytown 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.
