“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“Gillian is a great dog sitter! She use her repeatedly throughout the year when traveling. She’s always flexible with end times due to flight delays. Our puppy loves her and misses her after every visit.”
“Jacee was an excellent sitter & kept me updated with daily photos while house sitting. My fur babies loved her & I definitely trust her to stay with them again in the future. :)”
“We loved having Abigayle stay with our pup! We’d never left him with a dog sitter and Abigayle was great at keeping us updated and taking great care of our dog. She definitely eased any worries we had. He clearly loved her and was having a great time!”
About: I absolutely adore both senior dogs and young puppies that might need extra attention, and have experience with both! I also have experience administering medication and have worked with elderly dogs who need very detailed attention❤️ I’m currently a college student working full time, but I am extremely flexible and can fit in time always throughout my days. I am available for almost all times of day excluding when I am working! I am unable to keep dogs here with me as I am living on campus, but I have experience house sitting along with dog sitting and also have house keeping experience if that is something of interest!
“We absolutely love Brigitte! This was our second time having her stay with our dog and watch our home. She always leaves it in great condition, and makes sure to send us a bunch of pics!”
“My husband and I had to go for a work related event for 4 days and had to find someone to take care of my two mini Aussies. I was very hesitant to leave them alone with someone else as we had never done it before and also my boys are very high energy dogs and they need a lot of exercise. Luckily, I found Justin and he worked very closely with me to ensure I was comfortable with leaving my boys by providing daycare service so my boys get comfortable being away from me for the day. When the time came for us to leave our boys, I provided instructions to Justin regarding their meal, walk etc. While we were away, he provided me regular updates, took my boys for walks, hikes and exposed them to other dogs, playtime. Let me tell you, they were VERY spoiled by Justin. He took care of their needs as if I would and more. Followed all the instructions to the T! I was very much at peace knowing my boys were in his care. I recommend him 10000000%! Very responsive. Flexible and amazing to work with. Thank you Justin for everything !”
“Laurie was fantastic! We have never had anyone but family watch our dogs so we were hesitant. We have 3 dogs- 2 are extremely active. Laurie came to meet them a few days before and we went through their routine. She arrived promptly on her scheduled day and sent pictures per request. The dogs were very happy! I highly recommend Laurie!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, and take care of their beloved pets. My own family consists of 4 dogs and a cat, which I frequently take care of for my parents or siblings. I would love to join your family’s list of reliable sitters to care for your pets well and offer them love! I am currently on summer vacation and my daily and weekly schedule is extremely flexible. I’d love to work with your family to find what routine works best for you! I want to give your pets the love, care, and attention they need! Every pet is different, and I’d love to take the time to learn your families’ routines in order to understand how to care for your pets well. I love spending quality time with pets, taking them on walks, sitting outside with them, and giving them lots of affection!
“Kathryn was very reliable and competent. She followed all of our instructions without any issues. She left the house in a clean state and I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed there. It is really refreshing coming home from a week long vacation seeing your happy and healthy pets and not having to pick up after someone. I hope we get to use her again in the future.”
“Jade was a wonderful choice for my four day trip. I specifically wanted in-home care that would be more than a five minute visit every 8 hours and Jade was great! She spent lots of time with my dog and checked in with me daily. Setting up the service was great and she communicated well.”
“Brittany did a great job, kept us updated all day long and I know the dogs were always happy to see her. Very responsive communication and so easy to work with. Will book again!”
About: I will love your pet, provide attentive care, follow routines, watch their health and safety, and make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and comfort. My schedule is flexible, and I’m free throughout the week. I can fit pet care into my day—morning, afternoon, or night—and am happy to work with your schedule. In the client’s home, I feed and water pets, clean bowls and litter, follow routines, provide exercise and play, give medications if needed, and maintain a safe environment.
About: I've been trusted to care for dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles starting around the age of 8. I have gone on to care for many special needs animals, and have no problem following any instructions to ensure the best care. I'm currently working part-time, and can easily accommodate most schedules. I am looking to make this more of a full time gig, and get away from delivery apps. Currently, I am unable to host pets in my residence but would have no problem follow any instruction or detail in a client's home. I am here for you!
About: My name is Joe, I have just recently moved to Chattanooga from Denver, CO. I have several years of dog watching experience. Currently im working on my dog training certification and hope to offer those services soon. My partner & I have a special needs dog, and am great at providing the specialized care she needs. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, and can provide that special extra touch to ensure your pup feels at home while away. I watch dogs full time, so my routine is centered around walks, playtime, naps, ,meals, and treats. I live close to a beautiful park. Its my job to provide maximum fun times. Safety is my biggest concern when watching your dog. We introduce them to the new environment slowly in a controlled manner to allow them to be comfortable in their surroundings.
“Dana is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and was a treat to meet. I can tell she cares deeply about animals of all kinds and followed my instructions perfectly. She's my hero and a great person all the way around would definitely use her again!”

The. BEST. Our regular sitter can’t always be here when we need her and we were having a hard time finding the perfect fit. Well, JESSIE IS PERFECT! She’s a breath of fresh air from the moment you meet her. She is darling! And she LOVED on our babies so well. Our cats can be a little standoffish with new people. Both of them LOVED her and even slept with her!!!!! Our boy, Eddie, was jolly and happy in all of the photos and she provided him with the activity and walks he needs. HIGHLY recommend Jessie!!! Couldn’t be more thrilled that we found her!!!
Destiny was fantastic for dog sitting. She communicated extremely well both before and during the stay. Before committing, she asked for Calliope’s schedule, which was really thoughtful, to ensure she was available to meet high-energy Calliope’s daily routine for walks and feeding. She shared her own schedule in advance and kept everything consistent. While she was sitting, she sent regular picture updates so I always knew that Calliope was happy. Destiny was reliable, thoughtful, and even left my place cleaner than when she arrived. We can all tell when our pups are happy. Most importantly, Calliope looks forward to Destiny’s care again.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Reagan! I’ve been using Rover sitters for over three years, and this is the first time I’ve come home to a house that was just as clean as I left it! More importantly, Reagan took such great care of Rosey. She spent time with her, took her on walks, and was genuinely sweet and loving toward her. It means so much to know Rosey was in such caring hands while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful to Reagan and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their home and their four-legged family member!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Chattanooga is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 480 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chattanooga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
