“I've used Lorna multiple times in the past. I totally trust her with keeping Jasper over night as I know she let's him sleep on her bed and he is treated like her own. I will continue to use her in the future.”
“Panda went for an overnight to see how he would do. It seems that he enjoyed the experience with exposure to the other animals. We heard he had a restful night and look forward to future visits.”

“We left our senior chihuahua (Jelli) with Shirley and Jeff for nearly 45 days - they are the only folks we can imagine leaving our girl with for such a long stay. They take such good care of her that we wonder if Jelli will want to come home with us when we return. I highly recommend Shirley and Jeff.”

“Carly is very sweet and caring. We felt very comfortable leaving our Yorkie, Sophia, with her for a long weekend. Sophia was well cared for. Carly sent us photos and updates on Sophia each day, which was comforting to us because we had never left her with other people before. We highly recommend Carly to care for your furry family member.”

“Repeat customer!! We love this entire family:) Our big boy is always well cared for. Jennifer keeps us updated and we get the cutest videos and photos. We will be back!”

“Amy and Jason are amazing!! Very welcoming!! Prepared; Mochi is part of their family when there, they treat her as one of their own! Could not have asked for more…Mochi returns home very calm and gets back into real life at home quickly. Thank you! If you are hesitant; don’t be!!”


About: Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I started dog sitting at people’s homes with my cousin when I was just 10 years old, and ever since then I’ve loved helping care for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently the Executive Assistant at Pawsitively Posh Pet Resort & Spa and the Rescue Coordinator at Pawsitively Posh Pet Rescue, where I work hands-on with animals every day. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs and understand the importance of routines, medications, and extra attention to their needs. Along with dogs, I’ve also helped care for horses and cows, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I have very flexible hours and will match your pet’s routine exactly. If you feed at 7–8am, I’ll do the same, and if dinner is at 6–7pm, I’ll follow that schedule too. If your pet needs medication, I’ll stay consistent with your timing as well. I don’t make your pet fit my schedule—I fit yours, so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free I have a safe, fenced yard and dogs of my own, so if your dog is friendly they’ll have a great companion—but if not, that’s completely okay too. I always adjust to your pet’s comfort level and needs, whether that means space, separation, or extra attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away.
“Brooke and her family are excellent caregivers for our dog. They love him and treat him as their own. He’s very anxious and it is so nice knowing he will be well loved when we are away!”

“Hannah and her family are so sweet! Cece really enjoys her time with them! We got the perfect amount of pictures and updates through out her stay. We will use Hannah every time we can from now on.”

“Jennifer was great!! I needed a last minute sitter and she was perfect. She did a great job keeping my baby boy and keeping me updated with pictures throughout his stay. Will definitely use her again when in the area!”

“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of our Goldendoodle Daphne for two nights. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we enjoyed a family vacation at Great Wolf. She was very communicative and friendly. We will definitely use her again when we return to GW! This was our first experience with Rover and our first experience with our dog being left in the care of someone else. Elizabeth helped keep our anxiety way down!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Sabrina is great. A great communicator and very understanding about my little Jada who is a bit anti social. She took perfect care and we would love to have her look after Jada again.”

“Rosaria was so great! She sent plenty of pictures of my dog while I was away. She even cooked fresh food to add to the pups meals. My dog definitely had his own little vacation with her while we were away!”

“Natalie was wonderful with my nervous boy. She took her time to get him acclimated and let him do this at his own pace. He was so happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a great time! Natalie also sent me a lot of videos and pictures during his stay. I would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Natalie!”

“Mikayla & Skyler we’re absolutely great with my Sheltie, North! I could tell from the time of drop-off to the pickup that they loved dogs and North got adjusted and settled right away. I received daily updates while I was away and was never concerned for a minute because North was in very good hands. I will definitely rebook with them for all my dog sitting needs!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Afton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Afton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Afton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Afton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Afton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Afton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
