“Tara was amazing, again. Our pups blankets got damp over night & she hung them up to dry and put them back in their houses when she came for her evening drop in. Our pups LOVE her! We feel so safe leaving them in her care.”
About: I’ve had pets of every kind since childhood- dogs, cats, chickens, a donkey- but dogs are my special buddies. I’ve raised 5 exceptionally great dogs in my lifetime and have attended multiple pet training courses. I believe long walks are good for the soul! We have a spacious, sunny house with a fenced in back yard and a 5 year female old blue heeler who loves to play and romp with other dogs. She is good about being gentle with older and younger dogs. I believe long walks and a steady diet of new, stimulating smells make for a great (and tired!) dog. My husband, Jason, and I would love to care for your fur baby while you’re travelling, riding the Creeper trail, or just want your pup to have some social time. I take dogs on walks several times per day at the speed at which I am requested by the owner. We can do speed walks or slow, smell the roses walks. I have small fenced area in huge back yard and am very careful to keep dogs leashed when walking outside of the fence. I am also familiar with harnesses of all kinds and am a dog trainer.
“Thank you so much Hannah for caring for our Holston. Hannah does exactly as you ask. Our main goal was to accomplish a pooty break and she went above and beyond to make that happen. We hope to have you care for him again soon, Hannah!”

Let me know if you’d like your dog to become my new sidekick I’m available most days and would love to help keep your dog happy and healthy. I can assure you your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Never worry about leaving them home alone ever again 💕 I am available weekdays and weekends for walks or check ins and at anytime on weekends. Park playtimes are also available if requested in advance. Your pet would be cared for as if they were my own. When house sitting I would make sure they have all needs met and are being stimulated through playtime, cuddles and any training practices you are doing.
“Kimberly did an excellent job of taking care of my outdoor cat. She checked in on time and sent daily pictures, and updates as needed. Once when she did not see Janie during her visit, she went back that evening to check on her without being asked. Would highly recommend Kimberly for your pet care needs.”
“Sam did a great job with our babies. She is very prompt, dependable, and communicated very well, including pictures, to update us while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their precious pets 😁.”
“We have three large dogs so it can be quite difficult to find a good dog sitter. She was great everyone got their potty breaks and play time, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have always had dogs growing up and all my adulthood. Also gold fish and a bearded dragon. Pets are part of the family and should be taken care of as family. My availability is quite flexible. I am a private caterer and book my parties out by at least a month. I enjoy the pups and would treat them as my own! I enjoy walks and love taking my dog with me. I have had a crate trained dog before and can adapt to what your puppers is used to.
About: I have been trusted to take care of my sister’s service dog and her other large dog. They are both high activity and need lots of attention! I will provide lots of outdoor exercise. I am currently working remotely, so I can devote a lot of time to pet care. It will be very easy for me to adjust my schedule. I can follow directions set for me very easily, but I can also go with the flow. I am very excited to meet your pet!
“Hannah is an angel. Thanks to her my little one was happy and healthy when I returned home. She even took her to the vet when she got an ear infection. I won’t travel unless she is available to take care of my baby.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was thirteen. I’ve been trusted with man’s best friends for month long trips to weekend trips! I am always available by text for any concerns you have and will make sure to keep the owner very update on the daily life of their pets. I currently work full time during the week which is why my schedule is limited to before or after work on the weekdays. However, during the weekend I can spend as much time as needed and stealing all the dog and cat kisses! I want to give the best attention to the pets and devote my free time to them! I do not have a fence, but have a neighborhood that is great for long walks. I also can work from home so they never are left alone for long.
“I'm new to the area and no longer have my best friend to cat sit. I wanted to travel to spend Christmas with family so turned to Rover. I felt confident leaving them in Ken's care even before I left. He lives up to his rating!”
“Emily was fantastic with our 5 cats for the past week. She took care of everything as described and kept everyone very happy. What started with only 2 cats wanting to hang out at the beginning of the week, ended with Emily winning everyone's trust by the end. Would highly recommend!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Abingdon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
