“Would highly recommend Viviana to watch your pet. She was so friendly and easy to work with, and I know my dog was in the best of hands with her. Five stars!!”
“Jessica came through again. We had to leave a day early and Jessica flexed to take Sully. Then our return trip had unexpected delays and she stepped up last minute to keep our boy an extra night. We are so appreciative for her support. Our boy loves his time with Jessica and her family, especially his buddy Tucker!”
“Amazing Family! We brought our dogs with us to TN for the thanksgiving holiday and Cody and Rachel cared for them as we went to several family gatherings throughout our trip. They were so accommodating, even waiting up for us the night of drop off. If we ever bring them again, we will be sure to see if Cody and Rachel are available. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing ! And definitely willl be using her again if we go out of town ! She was very very great at updates about our boy with pictures and texts to let us know how he was eating or sleeping and was beyond accommodating when it came to his eating times and how he slept and made him beyond comfortable!! Our boy had so so so much fun with holly and her family and treated sawyer like one of their own ! I can’t express really how amazing she is and would highly recommend her to sit for you !!!!”
“We are so glad we found Nicole and Dexter! We were out of the country for three weeks and a bit anxious to leave our dog behind but we had a very good feeling during the meet and greet and the boarding experience with them was perfect! We got daily updates and pictures, they took great care of her during those three weeks and Yuki seemed really comfortable at their lovely and welcoming home. We definitely will be booking with them again!”
“I can not say enough good things about Asia. She watched my dog when I went out of town and it was my first time using rover. She updated me the entire time and sent pictures of my dog and how she was doing. I would highly recomend her to anyone, she took care of her like she was her own. Thank you again it was really a stress free experience.”

“Rachel is AWESOME! We’ve used her twice now and our dog got excited when we pulled up to her house this 2nd time! Tail was wagging and doggy couldn’t wait to get out of the car and run to her. That’s as close to a DOG’s review as you can get. She communicates well, is professional and sends photos and videos during the boarding to put our minds at ease. You can’t ask for more.”

Viviana took great care of my dog and provided many pictures of Goose exploring her property. I could tell that he was enjoying himself while staying with Viviana. She did an excellent job in communicating with me when I was delayed in my return. I will be using her when I go on my next adventure.
Jacob was amazing and we are so lucky to have found him to watch our boy, Monte! I picked Monte up after the visit and he almost didn't want to leave Jacob, which made me know that Jacob did a great job of loving and taking care of Monte! I'd recommend Jacob highly to anyone looking for pet care!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alcoa is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Alcoa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Alcoa 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 Alcoa.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alcoa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Alcoa 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
