“Avery provided excellent care for our elderly cat. Our cat is very shy but bonded with Avery as soon as Avery walked into the room. We received pictures and updates at every visit.”
“Terri was AMAZING. So communicative and went above and beyond. Super good with my very shy cat and extremely attentive to detail. Will rebook and absolutely recommend!!”
“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.”
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 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.”
“This is the second booking that I’ve had with Kari and will continue to book if she’s available. She’s fantastic, has great communication and is proactive. I refer to her as Aunt Kari to the cats. ♥️”
About: I have taken care of my family's dogs and cats from a young age. I also have extensive experience caring for family and friend's pets when they travel. Recently I have become a dog mom of Ginger, who is an energetic English Setter! I work 9-5 during the week but have lots of availability on weekends and after work hours to take good care of your furry friends! I will take great care of your pet and can be flexible to their needs. If your dog is sociable, I also have a friendly pup of my own to keep yours company! I am happy to feed your pets and administer any medications during my service. I also love walking dogs and/or playing fetch with them. I am used to dogs with high energy, as my own is very energetic, however I’m also more than happy to just relax with more mellow pets.
“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 copious experience caring with animals- anything from dogs and cats to rats and hamsters! Family and friends regularly trust me to care for their pets! I am very knowledgeable on different kinds of animal care, and I am excellent at keeping pet parents updated about their animals. :) I currently work part time! I am available all day on most any day I am off, usually weekdays. I am available after 5:15pm any day I work, usually on the weekends! I will do my best to help keep them to a routine that's comfortable for them! I am happy to walk them, play with them, feed them- anything! I have experience cleaning up after animals if something were to go wrong. I try to provide dogs plenty of time outdoors, or cats lots of enrichment!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all sizes! I have worked at a kennel for three years so I also have experience with senior dogs and puppies! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of peoples fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work anything into my schedule! I hope to provide a safe environment anywhere I can! I can crate when I leave, watch them in the backyard, or any other tasks I am asked!
About: I’ve grown up with lots of animals in my home and have a genuine love for them! My parents growing up did emergency fostering so I’ve always known how to love and take care of animals! I currently work as a nanny and my hours are roughly 9-1 so I have a lot of extra time in my day that I can help out! I am here for whatever you want and need! I can take you dogs on walks, sit with them for a while or whatever you may need during the day! Safety is my priority as I have my own pet and I would want others to be safe with him too.
“Meredith was very attentive to our baby girl and left detailed notes on what she did each day. We were very appreciative of her attention to detail. We’ll definitely ask her to watch our kitty again!”
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!”
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.
“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. 🙂”
“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”
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!
“Cayla is an excellent dog sitter and you should not hesitate to book her! I can’t recommend her enough. She is kind and gentle with our dogs, she takes great care of our home during her stay, she stays in touch with photos and updates, and she even uses her dog-training expertise to teach our dogs new tricks and always works with them to improve any challenging behaviors. We have come back to happy and better-behaved dogs each time Cayla dog-sits. Thank you Cayla!!”

We have used Justina couple of times now for drop-in visits for our miniature bull terrier (Otis) while traveling. Justin does a phenomenal job! His visits are timely, and he gets along really well with Otis. Otis did have some stomach issues on our latest trip which were no fault of Justin's. He went above and beyond to make sure Otis was well cared for while we were not there. He even spent extra time at our home making sure that Otis was receiving the proper food and liquids to make a full and speedy recovery. In addition, Justin's communications are always professional. I will absolutely use Justin again and would fully recommend him to others.
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.

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

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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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.
