“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 😊”
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
“Skylar was so great with my three cats over the week that I was gone! My boys can be a bit rowdy and have some special needs, but she handled them perfectly and even sent me cute photos of them throughout the period. I will definitely choose Skylar again the next time I'm out of town :)”
“Jordan was great with our dogs! We’ve got an anxious boy and he took to her immediately. She was attentive to them and kept us up to date with any concerns. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”
“What a blessing Gregory has been to us and our kitties. You can be sure that this is the person we will ask for the next time we go out of town, for he dealt with having multiple kitties to care for beautifully. We had never used Rover before, and had a terrible experience with someone in the neighborhood just not showing up to take care of our kitties, so getting the updates, the pictures, was true piece of mind. He even alerted us to an issue we had with our irrigation system, outdoors! Amazing.”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time ever having someone other than family take care of my Tori girl, so I was definitely nervous! Malinda was wonderful from the very beginning. She met with us twice before our scheduled day so Tori could get to know her, and I felt so much better knowing Tori was comfortable with her before I left. She was sweet and patient with my girl, followed everything I asked, and kept me updated throughout both visits. Being able to enjoy my day away without worrying about Tori meant more to me than she probably realizes. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy, and I will absolutely be calling Malinda again! ❤️”
About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties while I was away. She provided detailed daily feedback and pictures and truly went above and beyond and I am so thankful for her hard work taking care of my cats!”
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!
“Laura always does a great job with our kitties! I know they are in good hands when we go out of town. She provides detailed updates and photos at each visit. We already have her booked for the next trip.”
“Hailee was great and our cat absolutely loved having them around! We would happily book again. Hailee provided prompt messaging, plenty of updates with photos, and above all, was able to keep the little guy happy.”
“Lauren was unbelievably kind and so professional! Each visit was prompt and gave us reassurance that our boys were taken care of. We are so grateful we found Lauren and will forever be using her services for our boys!”
About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy. I have worked with training him and walking him on a leash. I am a big fan of smaller dogs but can work with larger dogs as well. I am currently working an office job from 8AM to 4PM. I am available on weekdays after 4PM. On fridays, I am available after noon. On weekends, I am available anytime! I love being outdoors and walking with your pet! I will work to keep pace with your dog and give their legs a good stretch. I am good with following instructions and listening to your advice about what is best for your dog.

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

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 Chattanooga 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.
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. 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.
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.

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.
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.
