“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”

About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of compassion, responsibility and trust when caring for pets. I volunteered for 10 years fostering lost and or abandoned pets. Fostering gave me valuable experience of understanding routines, medication instructions, providing companionship and attention to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take pride in being responsible and trustworthy. Pets are safe, cared for and treated like family. Available full time! Retired, no children. Neighborhood park within walking distance. Feeding schedules and medication instructions followed. Photos of your pet provided during your absence.i do not use crates unless the owner request one to be used. Pets are allowed on the furniture so let me know if you do not allow them at your home. Dog beds are provided unless you prefer your own. Feel free to bring a personal article of your clothing if your dog has separation anxiety or a thunder shirt. Fenced yard. Child free home. Crate provided if requested by the owner. Retired, now spending the next chapter of my life doing something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about-caring for animals. Fresh water provided all day. I keep dogs on feeding schedules as provided.
“This is our second time using Shanina, and she is absolutely awesome with my Cherish! 🐶❤️ I always feel at ease knowing my fur baby is in good hands. She’s caring, dependable, and Cherish is comfortable with her. We’ll definitely be booking with Shanina again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren and her daughters were absolutely amazing with our Rover! They welcomed him into their home and truly made him part of their family. He was loved, spoiled, and cared for as if he were their own. He was never crated or confined, but free to roam, play, and enjoy all the love and attention they gave him. And honestly, that’s what matters most to us. Knowing Rover was so happy, comfortable, and loved gave us such peace of mind. He was a happy camper, and so were we! Thank you so much, Lauren and fam, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Derek is hands down the best sitter for my Beagle - Herman who is not usually able to handle new circumstances ! Derek was awesome sent pictures. Kept me updated while I was away. I have used his service twice and for sure will use Derek in the future .”
“Shabnam was wonderful! She gave us daily picture updates and was always quick to respond to messages. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times and our dogs have been so sleepy since being home so I know she kept them busy. Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa & Dustin were wonderful caregivers to our beloved dog Poppy!! They went above and beyond to take care of her and to make her comfortable. They are so good with their pups and w/Poppy. We will definitely hire them again, and would highly recommend them!!”
“Mike took very good care of our dog when we needed to go out of the country. It was 8 nights. What I really appreciated was that he sent us photos of him every few days showing that he was content and getting along well. I would certainly recommend Mike to any friend or family member and my dog was way less stressed than being kennel boarded.”
“Tara is so friendly and easy to communicate with. My dog loves staying with her and has stayed with her several times. She is the only person I leave my dog with! Highly recommend.”
“Alayna and her family took great care of my boy ? she has kept me updated with pictures and reassured me that he was having a great time. Thank you so much and we will be back ?”
“Hope is friendly, very approachable and above all nice to my puppy which matters the most. She’s moderately priced. We left our puppy for the first time & we’re very nervous about it. She not only kept us updating about our puppy, but kept sending pictures and videos. When our flight got delayed, she was very understandable about it. I’m certainly going to entrust her again for my puppy’s care & I highly recommend her.”
“Bethanie was amazing with my two dogs. Dogs always know who they can trust and both of mine, including my little 8 lb terrier who is a bit skittish, immediately took to Bethanie. For the whole time, during their stay, Bethanie posted pictures to show me how well they had settled into her home. She also texted me a couple of times to put my mind at rest. My dogs had a great time with Bethanie and her two dogs and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a trustworthy and nice person to leave your dogs with. Great experience. Thank you.”
About: I have 20 years of experience from taking care of my own dogs to taking care of my children’s pets. I am very patient and kind with pets I am retired. I can fully dedicate my time. With being retired? I can make easier arrangements if my time to be flexible! I am happy to be of service. I have a fenced yard and a den area that dogs will be able to run around in and play all day! There is air conditioning as well inside my home and tv for them to watch shows.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with breeds of all sizes, from energetic German Shepherds and Mastiffs to smaller companion dogs. Growing up around large breeds taught me how to confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll provide the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make a priority. My fiancé and I work together to ensure every pet receives plenty of attention, fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. If your pet has medications or a special routine, we’ll carefully follow your instructions so they can stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and thoroughly sanitize between stays. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can provide individualized care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Akins Corner home-away-from-home, 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 Akins Corner.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Akins Corner 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 , 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 .
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.
