“I am a first time Rover user and my Chloe stayed with Shirley and Jeff all day yesterday to get acquainted with them and their home. All I can say is when I came to pick her up, she was relaxed, happy and didn't really care that I was there. You don't know how happy this made me. Thank you Shirley and Jeff for treating Chloe like your own. She'll be back for more love..... Donna & Guy”
“What a wonderful person! Rita's communication prior to, during and after Neeka's stay was excellent. She had the perfect set up and yard to care for our dogs visit. Rita's knowledge and handling of dogs shows by the way she details your pets history, how she introduces your dog to her home and her care for your pet. We highly recommend her for all you pet sitting needs. Thank you Rita.”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a child. I learned pet care responsibility early in my life and I teach my kids the same. My mom calls me the animal whisperer. Haha! I've had a special bond with all animals for a long time. Growing up and even now I have a heart to help the stray animals too. I love all pets and animals and I will take the utmost care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I am a stay home mom. I can accommodate any reasonable schedule. I cannot do overnights with small kids at home. Special circumstances are considered. I have a 5 year old well behaved pup to keep your dog(s) company. In my yard is a lead leash with plenty of room to run. If you need me to care for cats I can give them room to run in my home. I have one other indoor cat and she has her own space. If you have a routine you have for your fur baby just let me know. I will do my best to accommodate.
About: Recently relocated to TN from CT! I've taken care of animals my entire life. My parents got a German Shephard puppy essentially as I was born. She was my first dog, and we'd have many more dogs, cats, guinea pigs, even an iguana and a hedgehog over the years. My family bred pug puppies for 10-15 years and I helped out a lot with that, from helping deliver newborns, to taking care of rambunctious little puppies. I've always loved dogs, and love going for hikes and walks with a furry friend! I currently live with my family in Mohawk, TN. I make my own hours and have a very flexible schedule to fit any of your needs. Dogs usually take a liking to me right away. I always make sure to give them the time they need to say hi on their own terms. We have a good size property with lots of room to romp around and play.
“Amber did a great job taking care of our 10 lb poodle! She has a very friendly dog of her own and took special care introducing them to one another! Her home is clean, neat and cozy! We did doggy day care she walked Lucky 2 times in four hours! When we found out we’d be late on the pick up, she responded immediately and said no problem! We’ll definitely use her again should our need arise! Thank you Amber!”
“I was worried about leaving my Maggie with a stranger but as soon as I met Mikayla my worry disapaited. She clearly loves dogs and Maggie loved being there. She came home and slept for hours.”
“Melanie is awesome!! First time leaving my fur baby with a sitter outside my home, and I knew she’d be in good hands the minute Melanie greeted us! My Macie Harper was recovering from her spay, and I did not feel comfortable to leave her home alone in her crate for any extended period of time due to a prior complication as well as maintaining a medication schedule. Melanie was professional, incredibly sweet, and excellent with communication! Her house is perfectly equipped for pet safety & comfort. Will absolutely use Melanie’s services again!! Can’t thank her enough!! My baby girl greeted us with a smile and tail wagging and gave Melanie a million kisses!!”
About: I have been a pet lover most of my life! I have a very friendly beagle that would love to meet your dog! So would I! I do require all dogs that stay with me to come for a meet and greet, so that we can all get to know each other before their stay. Any dogs that stay for more than 3 days are required to do a mandatory paid overnight stay to make sure everyone gets along. Please keep this in mind when requesting to book I work from home full time, so your dog would have someone around most of the time. We have a relaxed home so dogs are welcome on the couch or to sleep in the bed. It's up to you! We have a fenced in backyard for maximum sniffs. Let me know how I can help. Millie and I would love to meet you. I work from home, so I can usually work with your schedule. I do some travel for work during the winter so please ask about availability before booking a time! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly beagle. I am happy to take care of your dog in the ways you need! I understand each dog is different!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Afton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Afton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TN. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
