“Jake was exceptional! He graciously agreed to help us at the 11th hour when another sitter fell through before our week away. Jake was prompt, followed directions perfectly, and so sweetly went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and tidy when we got home. He actually spent extra time with our little guy, which was such a relief to us (we all know the degree of self-torture we go through when leaving a pet at home), and we could really tell that Jake is an animal lover. He sent us awesome pics and updates-it helped us enjoy our week away. Jake was generous with his time and effort, and we will absolutely be asking him to sit for us again!”
“Brittney was really great taking care of our two cats while we were away. She's dependable, detail-oriented and caring. We loved getting photos each day. Definitely recommended!”
“Meghan was great! I needed someone to make drop in while I was gone for a few days and Meghan did a great job of taking care of my dog. She’s very kind and respectful. I’d be using her services again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.
“Gwen was amazing with our cat! We could see by the great photos she sent that he was truly enjoying her visits and playtime with her. This was our first time using a petsitter and because of Gwen we could enjoy our vacation knowing he was safe, happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Gwen if you need someone to care for your furbabies!”
“Sarah is amazing! She is very responsive to messages, is very attentive to all of those little instructions we express about our fur babies and- most of all- they love her! Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was excellent with Chase. She followed his routine carefully, communicated clearly, and handled everything with confidence. Chase is a senior tripod and needs a bit of extra support, and she managed his let‑outs, feeding, medications, and mobility needs without any issues. We had an unexpected power outage during our booking, and Sarah immediately stepped in with solutions to keep Chase safe and comfortable. She was flexible, dependable, and proactive throughout the entire situation. Chase was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Shannon was an exceptional cat sitter for our cat, Ghost! She was prepared and was incredibly thorough at our first meeting. She asked important questions and took notes to ensure she had all the info she needed prior to starting the job. For every visit with Ghost she provided check in summaries as well as photos of him. Usually when we go away for a period of time Ghost is anxious or skittish when we get back - but when we came home from this trip, Ghost was as happy as ever! Shannon clearly took great care of him while we were away. We cannot recommend her enough - she was amazing!!”
“Kristine did a great job with Bo. She is very caring, detailed and thorough. He is a hound and of course found a piece of dead squirrel and would not let go. Kristine reacted perfectly and has a lot of knowledge and way with animals. She is very conscientious and handled the situation well. We are thankful that she is so caring and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve always had a pet in my house! I cared for my mother’s dog full-time during long recovery from back surgery! I have always had deep connections to animals and am patient but eager to gain their trust. I have accommodated for a wide range of furry personalities and I am excited to meet more animals over the summer. I am a college student home from campus all summer so I’m looking forward to spending some time in the sun getting some energy out with your pets! I am available Monday-Friday though weekends may vary! I can accommodate for a variety of environments. I have played with a group of dogs in a wide fenced in yard, as well as taking them to the dog park. I have a large fenced in yard with a deck to soak up the sun and get our sillies out. I also have a scenic park at the end of my cul-de-sac perfect for stimulation! I am happy to utilize whatever accessories and environments you find most suitable and comfortable for your pet! I am comfortable dressing your dogs in their harness and leash with ease and engaging in their favorite locations to explore!
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”
“This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!”
“Ryan was great with our very energetic five month old German Shorthair Pointer. He spent lots of time outside with him and sent lots of pictures. He was flexible with adjusting timing when our plans changed slightly.”
“Liv was absolutely fantastic with my big boy! He cried at windows when she left and he hasn't done that with anyone but me. She actually played with him when she was over and he was SO happy and relaxed after she left. I will most definitely be using her again when I need pet care again!”
“Mike immediately was one of Freddy’s favorite humans. He had a natural positive energy when he met Freddy for the first time and it’s still like that. He’s communicative and shows up on time. It’s great to have someone reliable to take care of our furry family member while we’re working.”

I understand how important it is for dog parents—whether commuting to work or working from home—to have a reliable, consistent person they can trust with their dog’s daily routine. My background in teaching and coaching has helped me develop a patient and attentive approach to caregiving. I take pride in being punctual, communicative, and fully present with every dog in my care. I treat each pet as if they were my own and focus on building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners.

About: Part time remote worker here who is able to give all the care and love your furry friends need while you're away. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years — everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and curious kittens. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in adapting my care to each one. Insured and bonded for your pet's protection! For cats, I bring 13 years of first hand experience as a devoted cat mom, including caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and love. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, monitoring appetite and hydration, and creating a calm environment that keeps pets feeling safe and loved. I’ve also worked with rescue animals and shy pets who need extra time to warm up. My calm, nurturing energy helps them build trust quickly. Whether it’s a long walk, gentle play, brushing sessions, or making sure litter boxes are fresh and spotless, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. When I’m pet sitting, I make sure each visit gets my full attention. I build my days around your pet’s routine — whether that means early morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles. I love the calm rhythm of spending time with animals and giving them consistent care and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s care plan closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication needs. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise and positive attention, while cats receive patient care, a clean litter box, and affection at their own pace. I’m experienced in recognizing behavioral or appetite changes and responding with gentle attention and communication. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a tidy environment, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.
“They are great! Always willing to help even with short notice, they genuinely love the animals and it shows. I’ve had their help a few times now and will likely continue to. Would 100% recommend to other people!”

Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,296 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Califon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Califon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Califon. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
