About: Growing up my mom and I always fostered dogs. I’ve grown up with experience walking and taking care of dogs! I have helped with special needs dogs, pregnant dogs, hyper, and senior dogs. I currently have two dogs, and still foster dogs to this day! I am attending online school and I have plenty of time to come walk your doggies! I have a part time flexible job as well! I take my time making sure all walking equipment is on properly and make sure they get the attention they need!! I pay a lot of attention to detail and schedules for your dogs.
“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
About: I've always had a connection with animals. I know how to give medications as needed. I've always been asked to pet sit since I was 10. I used to own my pet sitting business but life happened and COVID happened so I had to go back to work full-time. I have been wanting to pick back up pet sitting because it made me happy. I, now, do side gigs and am free most of the time. I do have my own animals so I'd like to be able to have some time with them if I stay at your place. I will follow whatever instructions you leave me. Plus, help them feel loved while you're away. There will be no worry because they will be in good care.
About: I have always loved dogs and other animals. My dream is to own my own rescue. I have pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. Big or small. Furry or bald. I am a work at home and my 5 dogs are my co-workers most of the time. Looking for more opportunities to get out of the house and do something I have a passion for. I know the stress of leaving your pets for vacations or emergencies and want to be a dependable source for others I have a big back yard fenced in. I put an above ground pool up for some of my dogs in the summer who swim and play during the hot days. We love to play fetch with the younger dogs and let the others lounge or sleep. On weekends with nice weather we enjoy walks at the local parks and creeks.

The most I have watched is three. However when I was a kennel tech I was in charge of a lot. I have my own transportation and loving animals is one of my passions in life and always will be. I do have a full time job however, most of my clients have no problem with me staying at their house while pet sitting. However, it's all up to whatever you want to do. If you prefer I can also drop in and take care of them as well. I have no trouble doing both jobs. Your pup will get plenty of time with me still and it will be properly taken care of. I have been house/pet sitting for some time now and have had no problems at it. I make sure that I have plenty of time to take care of everything that needs to be done.

If you have a less active pup no worries we will have a chill time just taking it easy.
“I can’t say enough good things about Ana! Monroe is not just my dog; she’s family. She’s an older girl who needs a little extra care, and I’m very particular about who I trust with her, especially when I’m away and can’t bring her along with us like I normally do. I took a chance on Ana initially, not knowing her, but the moment we met, I had a really good feeling. She was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, and Monroe took to her right away. Seeing the natural connection between them immediately put me at ease. Ana has been wonderful ever since. She keeps me updated, sends photos, and makes sure Monroe is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also have complete peace of mind knowing that my home is in good hands while I’m away. It means so much to be able to travel and know that my girl is being cared for by someone I genuinely trust. Ana has earned that trust, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with kindness and care. ❤️”

I use positive reinforcement and a patient, individualized approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, and pets of different ages and personalities. Currently, I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, tailored to each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I prioritize positive reinforcement, secure environments, and following your care instructions. I’ll treat your pet and home with patience and respect.

“Accepted request last minute for the holidays, was very informative with updates and even went out of her way to assist with providing a necessity for my pup! Very pleased and will hopefully be using in the future!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Before I was 8, I had two amazing dogs and three precious and crazy cats. Since then (almost 20 years), I have cared for so many wonderful animals, from my own pets to professionally caring for dogs and cats through sitting and through dog walking. I love dogs of all size, and have experience caring for dogs as small as chihuahuas and dachshunds, to large labs, retrievers, doodles, mastiffs, and pitbulls. I've cared for puppies all the way to senior pups, including sick pets who I've administered medications to and prepared specialized diets for, including my own sweet pup who fought cancer several years ago. I have also fostered dogs with medical needs who were not able do well in shelter due to their conditions. I'm totally comfortable with multi pet homes. I love animals so much and treat each animal as if they're my own beloved pet. Nothing makes me happier than caring for animals and making them feel safe, happy, healthy, and loved. My work schedule changes week to week, but for the most part I make my own schedule and have flexibility to take as many breaks as possible in between appointments. I generally work more in the late afternoons and evenings, and my mornings especially are often completely free. Weekends are also free with enough notice! At this time I offer pet sitting services at the pet owners home, as well as additionally offering dog walking, and/or pet care drop ins throughout the day.
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are out of town. I’m currently working part-time from 4am-8am and I have plenty of free time to give your pet the love that they deserve when you are at work or on vacation. From my house to your house your pet will be loved and taken care of. I love hikes or just seating at home and petting your loved one.
About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am a 24 year old veterinary assistant who loves animals and ensuring owners that their pets are in the best hands possible while they are away. I have been a veterinary nurse for 7 years and have been pet sitting for 10 years. I am able to properly medicate or administer injections (insulin for example) to pets if they are prescribed any medications. I like to meet with owners prior to their trip that way if there are any special needs or medications for the pet that I am aware of them. I have experience working with all ages of pets and am confident that I make sure your pet is comfortable and in safe hands while you are away. The most important part of being a pet sitter is ensuring that the pet I am watching feels safe, happy and that the stay is as low stress as possible. I currently work part time at an animal hospital and part time at a restaurant. A couple days out of the week I am working 11 hour shifts. As a sitter my goal is to keep your pet safe, stress free, and comfortable. In order to make that happen I like to communicate with my clients and learn more about their fur baby. I also am happy to communicate with the client while on their trip if they prefer that with photos and updates.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Apison 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
