About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.
“Rowan was absolutely fantastic for our cats! Very prompt, and kept us updated throughout the visits. All of our pets (including our scaly one) we're very well cared for, and we will absolutely recommend Rowan for future care.”
About: My mom used to run an in home pet sitting service, and I always enjoyed helping take care of the dogs and cats. I have three shih-poos at home, and I love getting to meet all kinds of dogs. I’m a junior at UTC, and I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I live in the area and frequently go on long walks for fun. I always make sure that an animal’s collar is properly fitted, inspect the leash for rips, and make sure to lock and shut the door securely behind me.
About: Hi! My name is Jessie and I have been pet sitting for around 14 years. It started off with watching the neighbor’s dogs and turned into a full time gig. I am a very active person so I love taking dogs on walks, hikes and runs. I also love love ;) Making your pets feel safe and loved is my priority! I can do drop in visits, overnights in your home, and also boarding. Whether it's a walk or a week trip away, I will prioritize your animals as well as taking care of the house so its ready for you to come home. I have two amazing dogs and I believe that dogs are the best best friends and should be treated as such. I can’t wait to love on your animals and make sure they are well taken care of :) I work from home currently so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your pet/pets. I also have availability to spend overnights with them! In your home, I give your pets as much exercise as they want as well as all of the snuggles and enrichment to make them feel safe & comfortable. If boarding at my place... I have a super high fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company!
“Was gone for 6 days and Sarah took great care of my kitties, going above and beyond. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again!”
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.
“This was my first experience using Rover and in general it was my first time leaving my cats with someone who wasn't family or friends. Skylar was great with them and followed their care instructions perfectly. The pictures I got with every visit went a long way in helping ease my anxiety and at the end I was even left with a sweet note and cute drawings of my cats. I'll definitely be reaching out in the future if I need someone to take care of them when I'm gone and can't recommend Skylar enough!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and would love visit, walk, play, bathe, and stay overnight with your pets as needed. While I have a soft spot in my heart for cats, and foster kittens through HES, I've also worked as a dog grooming assistant in the past and know nuances to ALL dog breeds. My friends rely on me for their pet sitting needs and I'm looking to expand my furry friends! I am available most days. I can sit and work from your home or simply stop in and walk dogs. Just ask and I can probably accommodate! I'm a clean guest and respect other people's space. I also love to bake (at my own home) so I may leave some sweet treats for you before I leave!
“Lauren is extremely communicative, flexible, reliable, and kind—I highly recommend her for any pet care services! I will continue booking services with her for as long as she is available. Thank you for everything Lauren!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized dog walking and drop in care for pet parents who want to know their animals are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a calm potty break, companionship, playtime, or a little extra patience, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs. I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and help your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology, as well as being Pet CPR/First Aid Certified and Fear Free Certified. I bring both knowledge and genuine care to every visit, with a commitment to providing thoughtful, respectful care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. You can expect reliable communication, visit updates, and photos so you can enjoy greater peace of mind throughout the day. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet and become someone you can confidently rely on for walks and drop in visits. I’m currently available on weekdays and weekends, including early mornings. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate regular visits, walks, and drop-in care as needed. I care for your pets in their own homes, where they can remain comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any household routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I let them set the pace. Some pets want lots of affection and interaction, while others need patience, quiet companionship, and space to warm up. My goal is to provide calm, dependable, and personalized care while keeping you updated with photos and visit notes for peace of mind.
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).
“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!”
“Gabby is fantastic! I have a very shy dog and she did amazing with her! Appreciated the help last minute and over a holiday weekend! Just the best and her daughter is adorable and a great helper too! Highly recommend 😊”
About: I love dogs. More importantly, dogs love me. Just know that I will be pouring my love into your furry friends as they wait for your return to them. I am an author currently work from home and have very flexible hours seven days a week so I will have plenty of time to love your furry friends I currently only accept jobs that are in the owners home and believe it is the best and most stress free experience for your furry friends.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Debbee. We have two very particular dogs and this was our first time using Rover. Debbee was so communicative and on the ball. We spoke prior to her getting there, as she was sure to make sure she had an understanding of both dogs. She was inconstant communication while visiting them as well. Sent photos, gave us updates about their eating (both dogs eat less when we’re away). I could not have asked for someone better to take care of our fur babies!! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Debbee!! <3”
“Terri is incredibly professional, timely and organized. She is a great communicator and send great pictures and updates on our 2 dogs during her visit. Our dogs absolutely adore her and calm presence. She spoils them with belly rubs and games of fetch while giving us peace of mind for their care while we are at work. We could not recommend Terri enough!”
“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!”
“Sydney was great with our two spoiled cats. She arrived on time and provided thorough recaps of her visits with adorable photos. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was looking in on them and that they were happy to see her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I became a teenager. I’ve also house sat in addition to pet sat for 8 years now, and have reliable references. Pet sitting is currently a side gig alongside my full time job, but I’d love to help with any pet care I can! I currently work 9-6 M-F at a daycare, so I will have mornings and evenings (plus a lunch break from work) and weekends to check in, feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pet. I ensure leads and harnesses are properly put on pets when walks are needed, I ensure a clean house so that pets do not eat anything off the floor, tables, countertops, etc., I ensure doors are locked at all times
“Thank you, Kirsten, for looking after my dear companion in my absence. The daily notes and images really helped me feel at ease. Kirsten is personable, competent and, above all, reliable. My kitty warmed to her immediately.”

Sarah was incredible for my dog’s drop-in visit! She was so accommodating and willing to help us out last minute. She was easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and I felt very comfortable trusting her with Presley and in my home. I really appreciated that she set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, too! Presley was very well taken care of, and we both highly recommend Sarah. I’ll definitely be using her again for any of our future needs! 💓🐾
Meridith was absolutely amazing with Presley’s doggy drop in!! She was so accommodating of my last minute request, provided a meet and greet, had the best communication, and sent the cutest pictures of my dog while I was away at work. I felt so comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again in the future! Presley and I highly recommend her for all your pet needs 💓🐾
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! :)
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

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
