“Attentive, thorough, communicative, professional, and caring!!!! Bethany is a natural. She clearly loves animals and cared for our two older girls like they were her own. We’d love to have her care for them again next time we’re out of town.”
About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.
“We so appreciate how they went above and beyond with house visits for our pups. Great communication too! They’re dog lovers and took wonderful care of our fur babies. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dogsitting since I graduated college about a decade ago. I love spending time with dogs and getting to spoil and love on them! I’m currently working part time and have good open availability to meet your needs for a home stay or dog walk. I do best later in the week and over weekends. I don’t have the ability to host in my home, and therefore prefer home stays or dog walks. I love to spend time playing and walking dogs, I feel like I get to see their personalities.
“If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly pet sitter who can cozy up to even the shyest kitty, Angela is your sitter. She goes above and beyond and even brings in the mail and waters your plants. Will be contacting her for future pet sitting needs.”
About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“Emma did great and Champ loved her. She was super reliable and took time out of her Thanksgiving to come visit and take care of Champ. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will book her in the future if I need a sitter.”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
“I have booked Jazzy twice and she has been amazing with my two cats ! She communicated with me when checking on them, sent me pictures, and made sure that they were taken care of. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kim was great and my fur babies seemed to love them! She was very responsive and answered all communications quickly. I will defeintly use Kim in the future to help me watch my babies.”
“Wonderful pet (cat) sitter! Olive was very comfortable with Olivia. Maybe too comfortable bossing her around begging for treats and scratches. 😹 Great communication and pics/videos sent to us too! Will book again. 👍🏻”
About: As a former teacher, I’m used to creating routines, following specific instructions, and making sure each individual feels safe and supported. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning a routine, a senior pet needing extra patience, or a shy animal who needs time to warm up, I take the time to build trust and provide calm, dependable care. I am currently between jobs, so I have a completely open schedule! I’m happy to drop in while you’re at work, on vacation, or any time you need I provide dependable, loving care while following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets from hamsters to great danes! neighbors, family, & friends have relied on me to take care of their pets by walking, feeding, cuddling, playing, or bathing them! I've always had a pet in my life to love and take care of I currently work as a nanny so my schedule is pretty flexible! I also go on walks daily so adding a little friend would be nothing but extra fun! I am happy to cater to any needs or schedule and help however I can! I am comfortable around all pets and am super excited!

Cassandra is great with communicating, very prompt and professional. She accommodated a last minute request and left me feeling at ease with my pets. She sent updated photos throughout her drop in and was even willing to do a meet and greet prior to her drop in, so my dogs would know what to expect. Will 100% be booking with her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alcoa 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alcoa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alcoa with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
