“Alexa was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and accommodating when I reached out with a last-minute request to watch my Basset Hound puppy. She didn’t hesitate to help, and I truly appreciated her flexibility.She took such great care of my puppy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful for her willingness to help on short notice and for the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Alexa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for their pets! ❤️🐾”

“Jennifer and family went above and beyond watching our pet for 2 weeks as we traveled to the west coast. We did an initial meet-and-greet and knew immediately that this was the warm, inviting, caring family just right for our new pup. Floki fit right in and we left assured he would be loved on for the entire trip. Jennifer is a very kindhearted care giver and kept us in the loop with texts and photos. We will certainly use her again for our dog care:) Do not hesitate to hire her! A+. top tier.”

“Lilly and her family were just what my 2 pups needed for our 2 day trip. She was respectful of our requests (no pups on furniture), and offered the right amount and frequency of communication while we were away to assure us our kiddos were behaving, safe, and happy. Her small female dog was also seemingly acclimated to having 'guests'. Would definitely recommend.”

Ken took the absolute best care of my old English sheep dog! He is quick to respond, extremely communicative, and such a great person. You can tell when someone is a true dog / animal lover and Ken is just that - he radiates love to his own dogs and all the dogs he watches. I received photos and videos everyday and could tell my dog was having an absolute blast and being completely spoiled by Ken and his lovely wife. Thank you!!

Would highly recommend Jennifer. She is super friendly and looked care of my pet (Zeus) wonderfully. She was also super flexible on the first meet and greet and also on the drop-off and pickup. Will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips.

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 Bristol 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 Bristol.

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 Bristol 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.
