“Our pups were obviously happy and spoiled while at Jessica's. Jessica sent pictures and updates as promised and I know the dogs enjoyed the fenced in backyard to romp a bit and the accommodating indoors for lounging. They came home happy and well cared for.”
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Ashley kept on constant contact with us during our vacation and sent pics of Disco throughout ! We are so thankful for her care and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her services !”
“Mary and her husband are absolutely wonderful with my dog, Millie! They’re both so kind, patient, and truly treat her like their own. It’s such a comfort knowing Millie is getting lots of love and attention while I’m away. She’s always excited to see them, which says it all! I’m so grateful to have found such caring sitters.”
“Kristy was a god send to our situation. She is so kind and cares deeply about you and your pet. I was a little stressed having a baby on the way and no one nearby to watch our Pepper. I reached out to Kristy about it, because you never know when baby will be coming so it is hard to plan but she was willing to work with us and be open. We even had a trial run prior and she sent pictures and updates to makes us feel at ease with the process. She herself has an adorable dog who seems to get along with all the others. Kristy even told me about all of her regulars, their personalities, etc. She has a big couch that I know Pepper loved to be on and a high fenced in yard that I didn't need to worry she would escape from. When it came to the big day, Kristy dropped what she was doing (I say this bc of the unknown date of it all) to come pick up Pepper and even brought her back when we got home. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants your dog to feel loved and taken care of while you are away. We will definitely be using her again when needed in the future. Thank you for everything ❤️”
“Asia was truly an amazing and engaged sitter that treated our pup Ruby like she was her very own. She kept us updated daily with pictures and ensured we knew our Ruby was in good hands. We will be leaving our pup with Asia next time we are in the area. Thanks so much Asia.”
“Joan watched our miniature dachshund for a few nights and we are so grateful! We forgot to bring toys with us and she went out of her way to go get him one almost immediately, she sent pictures and always assured us that he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kaylee was amazing! Constantly kept me updated and sent so many pics! I felt so comfortable and felt like my pet was taken such great care of. Definitely will be rebooking!”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
“Ashley was great with Remy! This was my first time leaving him after only have gotten him a month prior and she made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. We ended up getting stuck in Wyoming an extra day due to cancelled flights and she was so accommodating with that and was no problem at all to have him stay an extra day. Will definitely be having him stay again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Frankie! He came home absolutely tuckered out and exhausted, so I know he had a fantastic time playing and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciate your great communication and care especiallysince this was a bit of a last minute booking. If the need arises, we will definitely be looking to book again!”
“Lucas was great! He was accommodating, kind, and Mia seemed super happy to have Lucas’s dog as a friend ❤️Also had a backyard where the dogs could run in and out of the house. Thanks!”
“Macy was awesome and took great care of the dogs, I highly recommend her for anyone who needs to have their pets looked after. She communicated well, sent pictures and spent good time with my dogs!”
“Our dog Cowboy has loved staying with Becca! She has been so accommodating of last minutes boarding requests and takes such great care of him. We get tons of updates and pictures throughout the stay and feel great knowing that he’s in good hands. He definitely enjoys running around in her fenced backyard and playing with her pup! Thanks Becca!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Amherst
Allyson and Tyler were very communicative! We have never left our boys for more than a week before, and it was so nice to receive photos and updates as to how they were doing. They were also very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we weren't sure if we would be back by our pickup time. Overall, we had a very positive experience!
Asia was truly an amazing and engaged sitter that treated our pup Ruby like she was her very own. She kept us updated daily with pictures and ensured we knew our Ruby was in good hands. We will be leaving our pup with Asia next time we are in the area. Thanks so much Asia.
Sandra took great care of our two Shih Tzu dogs. She was very responsive and communicated frequently with pictures to let us know the girls were adapting and doing well. She has a wonderful environment with a fenced back yard just right for small dogs. Sandra made sure they were treated like we treat them at home during the day and she also helped make their night time experience as close to home-like as possible. We will definitely ask Sandra to keep them again because of her efforts to provide a safe and familiar experience for our girls😊

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 Amherst 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 Amherst.
<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 Amherst 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.
