“Brandi is a great sitter! She takes great care of my pup and sends regular updates, including super cute photos. My pup had some special needs with his paws and Brandi was very attentive. My pup also gets along great with the rest of Brandi’s family and I know he feels comfortable in her home.”
“Destiny was fantastic! Communication was great, and we got daily updates/pictures of our dog. We were confident our pup was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be using her again 😊.”
“Our dog Lola had a great week with Pam!! We got updates and pictures most every day and Lola was so well cared for while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and leaving Lola in someone else’s care other than at home with family so we were so thrilled with how well everything went. We will definitely be using Pam again! Thanks!!”
“WOW! Barkfest at Tiffany’s was the perfect place for our furry BFF, Presley! We received regular updates with pictures, texts and videos assuring us that he did NOT miss us one bit as WE were missing him! Rest assured that you are leaving your pet in a great home where dogs are treated better than most people! ❤️”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Avery is such a great sitter for Pei! I always get pictures and updates and Pei adores her time with Avery. I am super thankful that I never have to worry when my pets are in Avery’s care.”
“Sonia and her family were absolutely fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she totally came through for us! I felt so comfortable having my pup stay with her and we got so many photos and updates! I would highly recommend using her services for your own pup!”
About: I’m experienced caring for all kinds of dogs, from high-energy breeds like GSPs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to laid-back pups who are happiest lounging by your side. I’m also comfortable caring for medically complex dogs, including dogs with seizures, injuries, and daily medication needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute pet care needs. I have a fenced-in yard and easy access to trails right behind my house, so pups can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether they’re up for a long adventure in the woods or just a quick romp around the yard. I’m happy to work with each dog’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and individual quirks or needs. Whether caring for a pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
“Di'Ara was amazing! She took my dogs last minute, (due to a previous sitter bailing on us) and was so understanding about our old boy. She gave them lots of love, sent pics frequently, and even had back up dishes, since ours fell out in the truck. She is awesome! Highly recommend. If we lived in the area, she'd be out go-to girl.”
About: Animals are my life. I’ve had pets since I was a baby and they mean everything to me. I love all and will care for them in any way they need and especially love seeing all the different personalities. I currently have two cats, and dog and a rabbit of my own. My dog does have special needs, which comes along with some anxiety, but he’s really good with other animals. I typically work from home throughout the week but do leave for meetings and showings (real estate agent). That being said, It is a pretty flexible job, so I can work with you to make sure something works out. Every morning my pets are the first task. Taking the dog out, giving my dog his medicine, feeding and making sure all pets have food water. I like to make sure that my pets, and others, are fed and let out on the schedule. If the schedule is a little different than normal, I like to make sure their needs are taken care of at an appropriate time. I don’t want them being hungry, need water or ever have to hold going to the bathroom too long.
“Jonathan kept my dog really well. We went away for 20 days, and I always felt confident that Watson was well looked after. When I picked my dog up he couldn't believe I still existed. He'd completely adjusted to his new life;) We'll happily use Jonathan again, and I'd recommend him to anyone.”
“Our dog had so much fun with Jaime and her crew! Jaime is definitely recommended she took great care of her and we will definitely be using her services again :). Highly recommended sitter!”
“Julia responded immediately to our needs and did a great job of taking care of our baby. I highly recommend her and we will be confident taking our girl back for boarding or day care.”
“Christina is absolutely wonderful. I would definitely leave my Ember with her anytime. Christina has a nice house (and yard) which Ember loved because she played fetch with the tennis ball in the house (video sent to me while on vacation). I really like that Christina lets dogs in her house where they get one-on-one time with a person, instead of outside in a kennel away from frequent human interaction. Communication was excellent.”

Gaby did a wonderful job taking care of my dog during my wedding festivities! She met up with us before the event to make sure my dog was comfortable with her and then she even picked him up and dropped him off multiple times to work with our wedding schedule (he was the ring bearer in our wedding and had to be there at the right time). Then she boarded him for a couple days. He seemed very happy and well taken care of when we picked him up. Thanks, Gaby, for helping make our wedding possible!
Sonia and her family were absolutely fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she totally came through for us! I felt so comfortable having my pup stay with her and we got so many photos and updates! I would highly recommend using her services for your own pup!
Joseph has gone above and beyond making Duke feel like part of the family and spoiling him rotten in my absence, all the while sending me constant updates and pics of Duke's progress. I could not have been more pleased to have found a better place to have left a part of my family with!!!
Tatiana made this trip so easy for us, I felt so at ease leaving our dog with her. She was very thorough and made sure dogs were comfortable with each other. And Livvy did great and had a blast with her pup friends! Would totally ask Tatiana again if we come back to Chatt!
Maggie suggested a meet and greet - our golden doodle, Daisy, with her golden doodle, Enzo. It went well, Daisy was a little testy due to the attention but very shortly both calmed down. I could tell that Maggie was special after talking with her - she truly has her "guest" doggies happiness in mind. She has a fenced back yard, takes walks in the neighborhood with them, and sends photos. We were very happy with Maggie, and beautiful Enzo, and will use them again in the future.
Tamia is a treasure! She took care of my two elderly mini dachshund boys for 5 nights, and they thrived with her and her little son. She is an awesome person, and I truly feel that I have found a friend. We could not have hired a better pet sitter, and I will definitely use her again. I recommend her without reservation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chattanooga is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chattanooga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in Chattanooga can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chattanooga. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Chattanooga 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
