“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”
“This is the second time I’ve hired Journey to take care of my kitties and she did not disappoint! She is always on time and really pays attention to all my notes, which can be a lot. She takes great pictures and always leaves notes for me after each visit.”
“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”
“Lindsay was amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty (who gets very lonely when we are gone), sometimes hanging out with him for longer than the booked 30 minute visits. He immediately connected with her and was snuggling on the couch with her within days (he doesn’t do that for everyone). Lindsay was also super observant and attentive. I would definitely book her to watch our little guy again!”
“Baylee was so awesome taking care of our cat children! Very communicative. The updates were detailed and we loved getting photos of the cats in their various favorite lounging spots. We felt comforted knowing our pets were well cared for in our absence.”
About: I have had pets my entire life (cats, dogs, ducks). I’ve taken care of many friends and family’s pets, from daily walks to over night stays. I have also had an anxious and reactive dog for the past 5.5 years, so I know how to adjust to an animals needs and make them happy and comfortable. I have open availability during mornings and afternoons for long walks, short/ long runs, hiking adventures, or sessions of fetch with your furry friends. Over night stays available with notice. I have an anxious dog in my home so I will only be able to do drop ins, walking, or overnight sitting at the clients home. I love to go on long walks with my dog, hikes, or runs (for the highly active pups).
“Kristin is wonderful! Communicative, reliable, and shares little tid bits about our kitty’s general demeanor when she drops in. She always gets great photos of him playing! We super appreciate her.”
About: I was a vet tech for 6 years. I know where dogs and cats like to be scratched and I am happy to provide scratching! I recently moved here and am semi retired. I love animals but my family member's are allergic to them. Coming to your home your pets will get my full attention and be happy as my fur fix! In coming to your home I will take care of all your pets needs whether picking up poop or scooping a box, feeding, walking, playing, and brushing. Happily wearing each other out with love and attention!
“Jordan was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter to help me while I was in town and she answered me so quickly. Called and well and provided excellent care. It really gave me such a peace of mind!”
“Hailee is so great with our two kittles! She is communicative and responsible, and our cats always look forward to seeing her. Plus, she sends great photos and descriptions each visit. Will always trust her to take care of them while we are away!”
“Addisen is more than proficient in her care for animals and knowledge. In top of that she was so responsive, professional and truly loves animals. Our cats loved her. She took the time to know them and understand their unique personalities and routines. She took such excellent care of our cats and home. We are so appreciative of her and will always book with her as long as she is available! Her help was invaluable leaving your little loves and home to someone who is so caring and trustworthy is invaluable!”
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to four amazing dogs—one who has been with me for 14 years and three proud foster “wins.” Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication management, fearful or anxious pups, high-energy players, and sweet couch-loving companions. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to meet them where they are—whether that means a calm, reassuring walk, energetic playtime, or extra patience and gentle care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I am shifting to part-time work and will be flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m an early riser, ideal for morning walks, feedings, and medications. I offer walks, drop-ins, and longer visits, and I’m experienced with senior dogs, anxious pups, and energetic walkers. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including walks, feedings, medications, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust my care for older pets, dogs who need extra reassurance, and dogs who enjoy longer or more active walks. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love them so much!! I took care of my neighbors dogs often and always did activities with them to keep the busy so when they went home they were tired enough to relax. I work part time at a coffee shop and I miss my dogs from home so much! I would love to hangout with your pups since I have tons of free time during the week. I unfortunately can’t have dogs in my apartment but if I walk them or watch them they will be safe and walk them in safe areas!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. On my 18th birthday, I got an English Bulldog, which taught me the importance of understanding breed-specific needs, health concerns, and proper care. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours researching dog behavior, nutrition, exercise requirements, and overall wellness. I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires extra patience and attention, I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is very flexible this summer while I’m waiting for school to start back, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and follow the owner’s instructions closely. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular feeding schedules. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live directly across from a park and make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time and activity. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family. For house sitting, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while also respecting and caring for the owner’s home. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the attention and activity they need. No matter the service, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their well-being my top priority.
“Sonja and Yolanda were great! I had a last minute overnight trip to a funeral and they gladly agreed to come look in on our two dogs. I did drop-in visits since our dogs are used to being at home, but will certainly consider an overnight with them when we have a need again. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies!”

Alyssa was wonderful with my animals! Even for just a quick drop-in visit, she took my dog on a walk and gave attention to both my dog and cat too! Alyssa is super communicative and sent lots of pictures of my animals throughout the visit, as well as sent a detailed rundown of the trip. I would absolutely trust her to watch my animals again- I highly recommend booking with her! :)
Sarah has been absolutely amazing to work with!! She is very responsive, punctual, and keeps me updated with each check-in visit. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my furry children are in such great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dependable and caring pet care!
Lisa did an amazing job caring for our pets and my daughter’s pets, as well. We were visiting for my daughter’s wedding and Lisa managed care throughout the day letting my dogs out and feeding them as well as transporting two dogs to and from the wedding venue for pictures. Lisa visited beforehand to be clear on our needs for the day. She was very responsible, on time for everything, and left the house spotless. She also communicated well about situations like one of our dogs not wanting to eat his food. Overall, Lisa made us very comfortable with the dogs in her care and because of this we were able to relax and enjoy our daughter’s wedding. I would highly recommend her.
Martha stepped in on short notice and immediately put me at ease knowing Waylon was in good hands. She spent real time with him, walked him, loved on him, and kept me updated with photos and clear communication. Couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend.
Cierra has sat for us a couple of time now and we are very happy with her service. Our pets are always happy when we come home and we can tell she gives them lots of love. She is very friendly, responsive and professional. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
Giovani is a ROCK STAR...And I don't mean one of those old and fading rockstars that you kinda remember their one hit...I mean bonafide 20 Stadium Selling-out America/European/Asia Touring ROCKSTAR!!! Giovanni was able to help us out over a stretch with very short notice flawlessly. Our dog is a challenge to say the least but Giovani was able to get Woody to warm up to him and actually act like a pretty likable pettable dog! He kept us up to date and sent daily reports and pics that reassured us that Woody was in Great Hands and doing well. Thanks G...Good to meet you and get to know you. - Ken Christy & Woody

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chattanooga stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chattanooga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Chattanooga with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
