“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.”
“Jenny and her husband were exceptional caregivers for our chihuahua, Scout this weekend. They provided communication and photos multiple times each day, following instructions regarding Scout's medications, feeding, walking, and food. Although this was our first experience with Jenny, we look forward to returning when we need weekend help with Scout. They are a delightful couple who take pride in loving and caring for your pet. We were pleased that Scout was the only pet they were keeping. We enthusiastically recommend Jenny & husband! A++”

“What a pleasant experience! This was our first time boarding our cat Clovis. Devin and Delisa were the best! Clovis got the best care and I got the best feedback while away! I super recommend them and will be booking with them next time for sure! Thank you so much!”
“This was our second time using Jordyn as a sitter. She has been super easy to work with and I can tell that my dog is in great hands! Ginger was so excited when we pulled in the driveway and could not get in the door fast enough which says a lot!!! Thank you!!!”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Becca was fantastic with Milly and has a great setup for dogs. She has a fenced in yard and cameras set up so she can check on your baby during the day. I highly recommend Becca!!”

“Kaylee took great care of my dog. I wasn’t worried at all while we were gone! We got daily updates and while my dog can sometimes be scared and take a while to warm up to a new place, he settled down quickly with Kaylee. The daily pictures she sent to update me on how he’s doing helped put me at ease.”
“Alexis was very easy to work with and has good communities. She sent me pictures and videos of my pup during her stay. My dog, Sigrid, had a blast playing all weekend and going to the dog park. She was worn out when I brought her home. Thanks you for taking good care of my Siggy girl, Alexis!”
“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!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
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.
