“Addisen is more than proficient in her care for animals and knowledge. In top of that she was so responsive, professional and truly loves animals. Our cats loved her. She took the time to know them and understand their unique personalities and routines. She took such excellent care of our cats and home. We are so appreciative of her and will always book with her as long as she is available! Her help was invaluable leaving your little loves and home to someone who is so caring and trustworthy is invaluable!”

“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 :)”
“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: Hi! Scarlett Kelc, and caring for animals has always been one of my biggest passions. I truly love all animals, no matter their breed, size, age, or personality. If I could, I would probably adopt every animal I meet! I have spent my entire life around pets and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own, and we recently welcomed our second dog into the family. We strongly believe in adopting from shelters and giving animals loving homes whenever possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide them with plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know leaving your pet can be stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through dependable communication, regular updates, and lots of love for your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your amazing animals! My routine for my animals is every day after school I come home feed them take them out. Once every two weeks I give my dog a bath clipper nails. With still being in school I would make sure that any free time I have I would give all my attention to them. I am at school from eight to 3 o’clock every day weekends I’m completely free. I believe that a safe environment is very important. I feel like whoever I am sitting or whatever animal take care of their owner should be able to trust me. I would want the same for if anyone was doing that with my dog or animal. I want everything to be safe and I want it to feel like they are at home and there’s not a stranger in their home. I will take care of the pet like I’ll take care of my own pet.
“Greg is a superstore. Great guy. Loves animals. And he even got my dog to like him and my dog doesn’t like ANYBODY… Except me, and now Greg. I’m sure Woody is looking forward to the next time and we are looking forward to the next time when we have to trust somebody with our 16-year-old four leggedroommate!”
“Journey was very thorough, communicative, and kind to my fur babies. She took lots of super cute photos and I’m so glad I had her to watch them while I was away!”
“Cayla came and saved the day with a very last minute request. I cannot thank her enough for being my hero! She was very sweet to my dog and thoughtful about his care.”
“Baylee was so awesome taking care of our cat children! Very communicative. The updates were detailed and we loved getting photos of the cats in their various favorite lounging spots. We felt comforted knowing our pets were well cared for in our absence.”
“Emma’s love for animals is apparent when you meet her, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is being cared for and loved on! Emma is highly professional and has no problem assisting dogs with special needs.”
“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!”
“Emilee has been a pleasure to work with and I definitely will hire her again. She was thorough, punctual, and very warm towards our sweet kitties. She also takes great photos!”

We are so thankful to Abby for taking care of Daisy aka Kitoni. Abby was communicative and always there when she said she would be. She has helped us in the past and is a big reason we were able to take our family trip this year. Also she will spoil your pet (in a good way)!
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! :)
Avery has been AWESOME!!! I have three DIFFICULT cats. One was diagnosed with FIP a month ago and he needs life-saving meds at the same time every day. On top of that, he is TERRIFIED of everyone except for me. My other two are also scaredy cats. Avery was able to work with all three cats, made sure my sick kitty got his meds every night (even though he refused to come out of hiding!!!), befriended the two shy kitties (including the spicy one!!!) Avery made sure to check in with me each day- before, during and after every visit! I am also a pet/house sitter so I'm picky and particular, especially with my own cats being SO tricky, and I'd give Avery a 10/10! Already have future petsitting dates requested! Thank you SO much, Avery!!! 🫶🏼
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!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chattanooga on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 843 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chattanooga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
