“Alexa welcomed our two corgis into her home while we were out of town, this was the first time they have stayed with someone other than family. Her communication was great, and her and her husband certainly spoiled our dogs and loved on them just as if they were home with us. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!”
“Lavar & Amber provided me with wonderful photos of our dog having fun or enjoying a good ear rub. This service made me feel good about making the choice to leave our pup with them. Look forward to booking with them again!”
“Carla took my pets in last minute and was eager to do it. During my pets stay she sent me photos and lots of feedback on how they were doing and acting. I really appreciated that and I knew that they were being taken good care of. When I picked them up they were acting happy but normal, as if they never left. I would definitely use her again.”
“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Jackie did an amazing job of taking care of my dog. She kept me informed and sending plenty of picture updates which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“This was our puppies first time staying overnight withMelissa. She was there three nights. Everything went well. Melissa was great as usual and sent us pictures and video of Maya while we were away. So grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup Lucky had a blast. We had complete peace of mind while Lucky was with Carrie, her family, and pack. The yard is fenced, he made a friend, and is allowed to lay on the couch when relaxing. He also got great healthy food as a bonus, which I can only imagine how much he loved. I strongly recommend considering Carrie for sitting and plan to let Lucky return to see his new friends again.”
“We are so thankful for Candice and Matt, and their sweet children, for giving our two pups a fun, safe and loving vacation home while we were out of town! One of our pups has a severe allergy and Candice and Matt were very comfortable and had experience with how to handle a potential issue, which really put our minds at ease. We knew our pups were in the best hands! They also sent updates and photos every day, and we were so happy to see our pups running around their beautiful yard and fitting right into the family. We absolutely recommend Candice and Matt to care for your furbabies!”
“Season was a great dog-sitter for Latte while we were on vacation. Communication was prompt and friendly, we got some photos, and Latte had a great time while she was there. Highly recommended!”
“Cam and Koko were well cared for during their stay and came home happy and healthy. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Our dog is always so happy and loved with Erika & Erik! We get many smiling pictures while we’re away, which makes leaving her so much easier. Highly recommend!”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“Cody was great. He’s very welcoming from the beginning which eased the transition at first. He provided daily updates. I was at ease knowing my pup was with him. Highly recommend! He kept my doggy for more than a week.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Athendale
We had such a wonderful experience leaving Rocco with Kat! She was incredibly accommodating, even when we were running late, which we really appreciated. She sent us daily updates and pictures of Rocco, and it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and being well cared for. Rocco also enjoyed having the other pets around to keep him company, and we loved that he was taken on daily walks. It was clear that she made sure he felt comfortable, cared for, and right at home. He looked so happy throughout his stay! We would definitely trust her with Rocco again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Alex did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Morty, while we were away on vacation. From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. He made sure Morty was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, happy and comfortable in our absence. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing Morty was in such good hands. It was obvious that he genuinely cared and treated Morty like his own. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Alex again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
We had an excellent experience with Carla while she cared for our Maltipoo, Princess, overnight. We reached out at the last minute on New Years Eve and she was so accommodating! She took wonderful care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Princess was comfortable, happy, and in great hands. We truly appreciated the communication and care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

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 Athendale 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 Athendale.
<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 Athendale 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.
