“Abigayle has watched our dog 4 times now, and she is the best! Our dog had tummy issues and without being asked Abigayle washed her dog bowls after each feeding. She keeps me updated, is super kind, and helpful. I’ll always request Abigayle!”
“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!”
“Bonnie was fabulous with our cat Rory. We had a very long extended trip planned before Rory jouned our family and we were nervous leaving him. She was so sweet to play with him and keep us updated all the way. Rory has daily medication and she was 100 percent dependable. I know Rory will miss her daily visits. She is a great pet sitter!”
“Showed up last minute, super late at night with a huge smile and made an instant friend with my dog. She was such a HUGE relief being so readily available to jump in and help out when other plans fell through. Couldn't recommend her enough!!”
“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.”
“Jordan takes amazing photos of your animals. They are so happy and bright eyes that you absolutely know how well she is taking care of them while you are away. We also have a super shy dog that almost immediately felt comfortable with her. 10/10 will recommend and book again when needed.”
“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 have taken care of cats and dogs for most of my life; my dog passed away last year at 16 years old. I have experience in taking care of older animals. I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time to devote to your pet. I’m happy to work out a schedule that works for you and your pet. I have a (small) fenced yard and live near a dog park. I also have a boston terrier that gets along best with small dogs.
About: If you asked any of my closest friends, they would tell you I have a huge heart for animals. Since I can remember I have walked and watched friends and families dogs when they needed. I would love to do the same for you! I am currently a college student at UTC. I am only in class for a small portion of the day M-Th and am completely available F-Sun. I have lots of free time! I try to keep your pets routine similar, so I would love to get details on their favorite toys, walks, etc. This is in hopes of making their humans being gone a little less hard on them.
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!
“Taylor is absolutely amazing! Having a dog from the shelter can be challenging.. especially making new friends and pet sitters. So glad my girl loves Taylor! She always sends pictures and always lets us know how she is doing. We have used her for doggy walks, and overnight, we are so happy and grateful for all that Taylor does!”
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
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! My schedule is versatile from week to week but I love to work pet sitting in. Depending on the day, I may not be able to accommodate dogs that need to be let out within 6hours or less, but I will do my best to work within your schedule and timing! 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!
“Presley and I had a bit of a hiccup to start so I was unsure how things would go this first time. Well, let assure you I had no need to worry, as she has proven to be a superior pet care provider. In the many years I have been using Rover.com to identify pet sitters, I have never known anyone to write up such informative, upbeat, thorough daily reports. These missives were a delight to receive. As a result, I always felt confident my Ali was being well cared for. Thank you, Presley!”
“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!”

I was facing a tough health situation in which I would be out of town for a month. Immediately, Justin provided care and relief for my two cats while I was away. He was communicative, reliable, and fluid as my treatment continued. When I returned, I found my cats well taken care of, and most importantly, came back to peace of mind. I recommend him highly to anyone seeking for short term or long term care. Fantastic guy
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! :)
Kirstie is amazing! Felt very worry free while we were gone that Graves would be taken care of and happy. She took the time to really look after him for a hour a day which I know can be a lot. She even noticed my dying plant outside and watered it. I highly recommend Kirstie to look after your pets. She was thorough and communicative and will definitely hire again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chattanooga is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $40 per visit. 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 824 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chattanooga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chattanooga. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
