“Jaime was amazing!! Pictures all the time!!! The dogs had so much playtime!! They weren’t just stuffed in a kennel till we got back. 10/10 would recommend amazing experience!”
“Best ROVER experience I have had. Wish I Could give this wonderful couple more than 5 stars. Great experience for me, but EVEN better experience from my pup. He was elated and exhausted. Perfect!”
“Alora was super great! My little old man had such a blast and is now pleasantly tired! She did well keeping me updated with lots of pictures! 10/10 Will be booking with her again!”
“Kristen took care of our golden retriever Gus for 10 days while we were out of the country. He typically goes on trips with us, but obviously not one like this. I wanted Gus to stay in a home that would feel safe and be fun for him…Kristen was PERFECT. She sent updates and treated Gus like her own. We came back to a happy, healthy, and very tired dog! We will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“I hate leaving Barkley when he is out of town but he seems really happy when he stays with Megan. She sends picture updates and it’s nice to know he is well taken care of and loved while we are out of town.”
“We are so grateful Bethani was able to watch our dogs on short notice when there were complications with our other sitter so we could go away for my husband's birthday. Our babies were returned safe and sound!”
“Jake and Caroline kept our Khloe Mae this past weekend and she had the best time (slept for hours when she got home) !! Drop off and pick up was very easy and they sent pictures every few hours and constantly gave us updates about her. Jake & Caroline’s kiddos and dog Ollie got along very well with Khloe and they all seemed to enjoy their visit together. They even took Khloe on a little walk/ water time in the creek. We plan on booking with them again in September!!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Crista is wonderful! She kept me updated on my puppy and sent pictures throughout the day. We will definitely be using Crista again in the future! Thank you Crista!”
“We dropped our dogs off for boarding while my partner and I raced in IM Chattanooga and are so thankful that Jaxen was able to watch them! They got to play a bunch and tired themselves out — and got a bath before being picked up. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while we raced.”
“Giulia and family were great! They sent daily pictures letting me know how Patch was doing and how spoiled he was. He even got to sleep in their bed (which he does with me). He came back happy and healthy. I felt very comfortable leaving him there when I left and will definitely use them again!”
“Joslynne was great. Orey was well cared for and had a great time. We got pictures so we knew our doggo was enjoying himself. He was happy to see us when we got back of course, but could tell as soon as he got home, that he was tired from having played with her dogs. Would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Crystal was so good and patient with my girl Trudy. Trudy has seizures and can apparently have some separation anxiety where she whines and howls. Crystal was so good with her and took excellent care of her. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to leave her with someone. Due to her medications and seizures. Crystal was great and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely love Cherish! She was so attentive to our pups they were missing her when we got home! She went way above and beyond! Highly recommend you reach out to her if you need someone to care for your pets while you are away! You just can’t have her when I need her! 😀”
About: I am an experienced animal owner and previous vet assistant. I have three dogs and two cats, and have experience with exotic and small/caged animals as well. I have worked with many types of special needs animals (aggressive, multiple medications, assisted walking, etc) so I am comfortable around ALL cat and dog types! I would love to just stop by or stay for extended visits. I am in the East Brainerd area but definitely willing to travel when needed. I run everyday with my dogs and could with yours too. Although, I would love to sit and watch some Netflix with your couch potato puppies too! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about stays or arrangements- I have flexible hours and availability at this time and would love to hear from you! Pet care is my life! I love animals and am willing to work hard for your fur family so you can rest easy while you are away. I am willing to clean after myself and your animals while you are away, just leave details, also happy to take care of small chores, like putting the garbage out and getting the mail.
“First time boarder for our puppy and it went wonderfully. Our puppy seemed right at home and had fun playing with Angela's puppy. She has a great fenced yard the dogs can play in as well. We will definitely use Angela again!”
About: I am a loving, caring, and compassionate animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and farm animals. I understand the importance of providing pets with safe , attentive, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether walking dogs, feeding and caring for household pets, or assisting with the daily needs of farm animals, I am dedicated to ensuring animals feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. My genuine passion for animals, combined with my responsible and dependable nature, makes me a trustworthy caregiver for pets of all kinds. What truly sets me apart in dog care is my ability to provide adaptable, expert attention whether I am hosting your pup at my home, walking them in your neighborhood, or dropping by for a visit. I don't just watch your dog; I seamlessly sync with their unique lifestyle and daily routine.

You will receive frequent photo updates and clear communication throughout their entire stay, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is safe, pampered, and having a five-star vacation of their own. Choosing me means choosing absolute peace of mind, because I work from home and am here to provide supervised, 5-star care all day long in a structured and loving environment. Your pup will enjoy the ultimate backyard vacation in my massive, securely fenced yard, where they can burn off energy and play safely alongside my own friendly dogs for built-in companionship. I prioritize both emotional comfort and physical safety, which is why my home is fully equipped to accommodate your dog’s specific routine—including the ability to comfortably crate them for meals, bedtime, or relaxing downtime if they prefer a quiet, secure space of their own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apison
We had an amazing experience leaving our 2 dogs with Nicole. We got regular updates and photos/videos. Our dogs looked very happy and comfortable in them. It seemed the whole family made our pups a part of their life and routine while we were away. We were super relaxed on our trip knowing the fur babies are doing good.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Apison is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $47 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 332 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Apison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Apison 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 Apison 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 Apison.
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.
You and your Apison 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.
