“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.”
“Reagan was so wonderful! My dog can is nervous around strangers and is a senior. Reagan was so patient and kind and it made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my pup. Reagan is definitely someone you can count on and she will treat your animal like her own!”
“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!”
“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: Accepting last minute bookings. 💕 Full time work from home, looking after your pet is my full time job! Professional house & dog sitter & cleaner 🏡 I have experience in house sitting and animal care while owners are on vacation or out of town. I have experience in watering plants and general upkeep & house cleaning. Located in Saint Elmo 🏔 ❤️ Exercise and fresh air is very important to me, so I can assure you that your dog will get plenty of exercise, sunshine, and fresh air! Have a fenced in back yard & close to walking trails. Plenty of frisbees and tennis balls. 🎾 I only take 1 client at a time to ensure quality time and no overcrowding. My family’s had dogs for about 12 years now, and I love taking care of them. I recently got my own dog 12 years ago, and it was the best decision of my life. I don’t view looking after a dog as a job, I look at it as a joy! ❤️ I also help participate in fundraising/crowd funding to help dogs and dog families in need. I strongly believe that all dogs deserve to be loved, no matter the case. I am a professional belly scratcher, pro fetcher, and and exceptional walker. I love getting exercise just as much as they do. My dog is very high strung and hyper, so I can handle “overly energized” dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs. Thanks for reading, I look forward to meeting your dogs! I take this very seriously, and I will ensure to keep you constantly updated with pictures! I am home quite often so I have created a schedule with the pups to keep them entertained and energized. Plenty of potty breaks and tennis balls. My home has a fenced in yard on a piece of land. This property is completely secure and safe, plenty of room to run and play.
“Justin’s care for our pup was amazing. He played lots with her, took her on walks and hikes and made sure to send pictures and communicate as needed. He even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed. Highly recommend.”
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!
“Kyle was great! He took such good care of our two dogs, taking them on multiple walks a day and giving them tons of affection while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our home, even washing and changing the guest room sheets before we returned. We definitely will use his services again. We highly recommend him.”
About: I am comfortable staying overnight as well as ensuring your animals feel comfortable with me. I have been professionally walking my friend’s dog five days a week for two years now. I will make sure to stick to their normal routines, so they are less stressed. I hope I can give your animals lot of love and pets! Im usually available, but even at my job—I am still able to drop in around my lunch. So I’ll make sure to drop in as much as possible I am not able to keep any animals at my home due to me not renting or owning a home ( I’m a college student ).
About: I've done in-home pet sitting for the past 10 years for friends and family. I think it is so much easier on you and your fur baby to stay in their own environment while you are away. I have volunteered at McCamey Animal Shelter working with both cats and dogs. I am reliable, responsible and aprovide attentive care. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you'll alway know how your furry family members are doing. I'm availble for short term visits or extended stays. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pets individual needs. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. All in your pets familiar surroundings, which helps reduces stress and keeps their routine as consistent as possible. I take great pride in caring for my clients’ homes and leaving them as I found them. I deeply respect your privacy and never snoop through personal rooms, belongings, or containers. If I need to find something that isn’t easily accessible, I’ll always ask first. I also respect boundaries around appliances, dishes, electronics, and anything else you prefer I not use. I’m quiet, responsible, and not a party person. I don’t drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs, and I never invite guests into a client’s home. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I would want to find it when returning home.
“It was our first time having anyone house-sit with our pups, and Brigitte was AMAZING! She was punctual and communicative, and while we were away, she provided so many updates and pictures of our pups! It gave us peace of mind to know that someone so reliable was with our pups, and we were able to enjoy our trip worry-free. I highly recommend Brigitte - she's professional, reliable, and showered our pups with love while we were away. Thank you, Brigitte!”
About: I kept friends dogs at my home for years while they traveled for work or play. I now have two cats I adore, but they don’t get along with dogs or I would still do it in my own home. I’ve supported and helped train several of my dogs and generally don’t have a problem holding the parents expectations for their fur kids, if that’s behaving on leash, rehearsing training, or making sure that they “do something” for treats, I’m happy to make sure they aren’t letting their manners slip around the new guy. I am a large man over 6ft and 230lb, and I have met a few pups who specifically didn’t seem comfortable around me, they were rescues and some warmed up with time. I would to meet your shy pet and see if they warm up, but I prefer being honest and if large men give your pet anxiety, I may not be the sitter for you. And that’s ok I’m a massage therapist, so while my schedule may change from day to day, I have time to swing by for walks, feedings, or even meds as long as you have specific instructions for the meds. I don’t take clients until 10, and i often have large breaks during the day to visit or check on the fur kids. I am not married nor do I have kids so i can be flexible with my time. I follow the clients instructions to the letter, and leave the space as I found it with happy sleepy pets. I’ve cared for kennels and champion hunting dogs, feral cats and the dogs they scared. I prioritize keeping them on their own schedule and stress free. I will let you know if and where I would need to deviate from their normal schedule if necessary. So that you can make the best choice for your pets health
“Jen is amazing! I am extremely particular about how my two cats are cared for and she did amazing. We were gone for 6 nights/7 days and I never had to worry. She sends plenty of photo updates and little notes through the day of how theyre doing. Will absolutely book Jen everytime we're away”
About: I’ve taken Care of all types of pets, I understand the importance of caring for them like my own and giving the pet owner a great peace of mind while they are apart I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule because of it, I’m an accountant for usxpress but due to my husbands knee injury in the marines and recent surgery he had I am trying to earn extra money that we need I do have a cat he is friendly and as usual when it comes to cats he does his own thing I understand the importance of what rules u set for them that I would do as well
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and other animals for 15 years. Neighbors, friends and family have chosen me to make sure their peta are well taken care of while they are away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies! I usually off on weekends so I'm free to check animals in the morning and walk them in the evening as well as house sit as needed. Currently we have an indoor cat that we keep safe inside. House can keep a small dog but do not currently have a yard. Animals very welcome
“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own two Bloodhounds, who each weigh around 115 pounds, and a Great Pyrenees. Caring for large breeds has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with farming and caring for animals, so I’m comfortable handling larger animals and working in outdoor environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I care for dogs every day, making sure they receive proper attention, exercise, food, water, and companionship. I also have experience cat-sitting for three cats each year, including feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m committed to being dependable and treating every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routines to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and a clean environment. For dogs, I provide regular walks, outdoor time, and companionship. For cats, I take care of feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
