“Bethany and her family are the best place by far to leave your dog! She was able to accommodate us last minute for a long stay. Our puppy is only 4 months old and did wonderfully there. She kept up on her routine and helped train her in other areas. She also sent daily pictures and videos for our kids to see. Can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Excellent!! Kristen & Steven gave our little shitzu so much care and love. They sent pictures and touched base with us regularly. We were very nervous about leaving her anywhere and we now can go on trips since we found the best sitter’s in Cookeville . Already planning her next stay .she’s never been around dogs and their own dogs also were so gentle and kind tords her . I can’t say enough great things about the way they treated our pup !! We could not have had a better experience!! Thank you again Kristen and Steven . And Biscuit is missing you all .”
“This was our first experience with boarding our cat. Sharon, was extremely friendly and welcoming to us and our cat. Sharon sent us daily updates and multiple photos letting us know how our cat was doing. Hands down the best you will find to watch your animals. Highly recommended!!! We will definitely use her services again!”
“Jaden and Alyssa were great. They took care of Itsy like she was their own. They let her be the lap dog that she is and even let her sleep with them. Itsy was loved and well cared for. I highly recommend Jaden and Alyssa for excellent pet care.”
“You will find yourself very fortunate if you are able to book Drew for pet sitting. Her experience and knowledge of pet behavior really helped set my mind at ease. I just moved to the area from Colorado and I have a senior dog that has been my companion and has gone everywhere with me for the last 10 years. She is an indoor dog used to be pampered. This is the first time I was unable to take her on a road trip with me. You can imagine my stress, apprehension and uncertainty to leave her with someone I had just met. During my meet and greet session with Drew I had a new sense of reassurance. She listened to me validated me and followed all my instructions. She communicated with me several times a day including photos & videos. Drew was flexible with me during my uncertain schedule. My dog was taken care of very well. Drew was able to adjust to any issues that came up quickly and appropriately. She was also competent & confident administering medication’s as needed for my dog. I would highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels- I currently have 4 of my own. As an owner of an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I’m especially comfortable with dogs that require lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable: * Administering oral medications * Caring for senior dogs with special routines * Managing high-energy breeds * Following detailed care instructions * Safely introducing and separating dogs when needed * Providing individualized attention based on each dog’s personality and needs My goal is to give every dog a safe, fun, and relaxing stay while giving owners peace of mind through excellent communication and dependable care. I work from home full time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, regular exercise, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I do my best to maintain your dog’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime schedule, to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home offers nearly an acre of securely fenced outdoor space where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. As the owner of an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I’m experienced with high-energy breeds and understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and carefully following any special care instructions. If needed, I can safely separate dogs during meals, rest time, or throughout their stay to ensure everyone is comfortable. I treat every dog like a member of my own family and provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

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 Bethesda 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 Bethesda.
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 Bethesda 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.
