“Wanda house and pet sat for my two dogs and three cats and was amazing! I did not love the idea of boarding my dogs over a long weekend and Wanda came to the rescue. My animals instantly loved her and one my cats who is very shy even warmed up to her. She gave constant updates and was wonderful with communication. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Wanda, for taking such great care of my furbabies.”
“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”
“Cayla was amazing with my Horde of three that count a stubborn Rhodesian and two Husky/Jack Russell mixes. They were so well cared for that they were happy to see me but fairly blase about me coming home. 🤣🤣”
“Gillian was responsive, professional, and easy! Sent lots to f pics. House was in perfect condition and the dogs were very well taken care of. Will contact her again for sure.”
“Joe is your peace-of-mind guy when it comes to pet sitting. He’s amazing! Awesome communication and updates and he’ll care for your pet like you would. Couldn’t be happier with his service for our in-home dog-sitting needs, we highly recommend Joe!”
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!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.
“Shelby was wonderful and provided care above and beyond for my older dog and box turtle. She sent daily reports with updates to ease my mind while I was cruising on vacation. Additional feeding steps were needed to “entice” my dog to eat his food as he’s gotten pickier with age but Shelby handled it flawlessly all while leaving my house in a clean condition upon return. I would highly recommend Shelby for future house sitting jobs.”
About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.
About: Hello, we are Mark & Natalie! We are an engaged couple that has over 5 years of petsitting experience! Our adventurous nature has taken us on petsits not only across the country, but across the world! We have done over 30 petsits across the UK & Europe, as well as sits in Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Oregon and of course Tennessee! We pride ourselves in giving expert-level care modeled to each individual pet. Our past sits have praised us for our attention to detail, adherence to instruction, prompt communication and cleanliness! We both work either part-time or remote jobs, so it is very easy to make sure at least one of us is on the house most times. If we have ever planned to be gone for a few hours in previous sits, we would always make sure to leave treats and toys for the pets, according to the pet owners instructions. We have happily accommodated pets in the past and scheduled days around coming back for potty breaks and feeding times. If there is ever a time where we are both out, we always make sure to schedule out time accordingly. We have always taken great care of our clients homes. Our previous reviews have left glowing remarks about our cleanliness. WE strive to leave a petsit as we found it. If we have time, we make the bed we stayed in up, but at the very least we try to get sheets in the washer/dryer. We do a deep clean of kitchens on our way out, arrange the appliances and silverware as we found it and remove all of our stuff. We do the basic sweep, swiffer/mop, clean the bathroom, etc. We always respect the privacy of our client and we do not snoop around in any personal rooms or containers. If there is a need to look for things not easily available, we always ask first. We respect boundaries for appliances, dishes, electronics. If you do not wish for us to use something then we simply won't use it. We have watched over plants and gardens as well. While neither of us is a green-thumb, we follow instructions and routines for your plants to ensure that they stay healthy and alive. We are not party people. We have never used a clients space for a party or to invite guests over without previous discussion and permission granted. We do not drink and do not engage in the smoking of tobacco or recreational drugs.
About: With over two years of experience house sitting for friends and family—often for extended periods—I’ve earned a strong reputation for being dependable, respectful, and truly dedicated to the pets I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to provide both companionship and specialized care, especially for older pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply offering comfort and snuggles, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I am currently working part-time! But my schedule is completely up to me and flexible. The good thing about the job I work at is I get to create my own schedule! As long as I am kept in the loop with the people I provide services for dog sitting, walking, and care will always be my top priority! I treat every home and pet I care for with the same respect I’d want for my own. I always follow routines closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, or giving medication—and make sure pets stay safe by double-checking doors, gates, and anything they might get into. I’m clean, organized, and careful to leave the home just as I found it. Most importantly, I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Trust and safety are always my top priorities!
“Jade was great. We would like to thank you so much for allowing us to be able to trust someone to stay at the house and take care if not only the dogs but other tasks while we were gone. We would definitely use her again.”
“Dominique cared for my two dogs over a weekend. She texted me with questions when needed and sent videos/pictures of the pups after each visit. The house was in great shape when I got home. Thanks for taking such good care of Sam and Poppy, Dominique!”
About: Grew up taking care of animals consistently Had a senior dog growing up Taken multiple puppy behavior/training courses Love training new skills and commands to dogs I have worked with many special needs animals I have a pretty flexible schedule through out the week, with more availability early mornings or any time after 4PM. My weekends are quiet and usually free for extra drop-ins or a nice walk. I have two cats that love other animals to play with. I have a smaller apartment so, I have to limit the size of the pets I allow in my home.
“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chattanooga
Justin has sat for us several times and he is always 100% dependable and makes our dogs all so happy. This time our power went out as soon as he got to our house and it was out for 4 or 5 hours. He never complained or expected restitution of any sort, just accepted that these things happen and made the dogs his top priority. I hesitantly recommend him (hesitant only because I dont want him getting booked all of the times we want to book him 😂) to anyone looking for a highly skilled dog sitter.
Kirstie did an excellent job taking care of our two male cats while we were away last week. During the meet and greet she took careful notes, asked questions to clarify certain points, and provided honest feedback. She came across as mature and trustworthy and proved that she was. During our time away, she provided daily updates and photos and let us know when one of our cats was gone longer than she thought he would be. All turned out well. I would definitely use Kirstie again!
Natalie was amazing! We were super nervous with this being the first time having a stranger stay in our house and with Squirrel, but she was so great and communicative! She sent us many updates, kept our home in the tidiest shape, and, most importantly, she gave Squirrel the best care and love. Would 1000% use her again and recommend her to anyone!
Kyle was an exceptional dog sitter to our 4 pups. He gave us updates on them from the first day we left, and then numerous times a day each day we were gone. He went above and beyond our expectations. He cleaned, did laundry , took out trash and even vacuumed floors. Couldn't ask for anything more. We would highly recommend Kyle to anyone needing his service!
Alex was very attentive and caring with all three of our pups, ranging in age from 11 months to 12 years old. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were all getting the attention, care, and patience they each needed based on their different ages and personalities. We received daily updates along with several pictures, which made being away from them much easier and showed they were in great hands. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chattanooga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chattanooga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
