About: I have taken care of dogs for 40 years on and off as people need me. I started with friends for free! I've volunteered at a local animal shelter. I've adopted dogs and 2 cats from local shelters. I took in my uncle's dog after he could no longer care for him. I've rescued dogs off the streets and taken them to local low-kill shelters! I actually love dogs and will greet them on the street before ever saying hi to their owners. I need to do better at that. Your dog will be cared for and looked after. I let them out 6-8 times a day in the fenced-in backyard Saturday-Monday. I am at work 4 days a week for 4 hours each day. So that is the longest they are left in the house. I have a housemate who loves dogs and helps take them outside as well. I enjoy them hanging around with me. If your pet needs to be in a crate at night, no problem. I have a large crate so you don't have to lug one around. If they don't need a crate, they are welcome to join my dog and me in my bed. If I have more than 2 visiting dogs, we all sleep on my 3 couches. Everyone gets their own space, even me! I also sit for friends, and most of my clients are by word of mouth, so they won't be listed on my Rover calendar. For example: Summer 2026: I've watched 5 visiting guest dogs. I'm getting 2 more in October. I have one dog of my own. I have one pretty mellow dog and one cat that likes dogs. My dog gets treats when I leave the house once or twice a day. Water bowls are always full. Dogs hang out wherever I am. If I am in my bedroom, the door is always open, they can come in. If I'm in the kitchen or living room or out back in the fenced yard, they are always welcome to be where I am. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard. I let the dogs go out as long as they want to be out. Usually, they don't want to come right in. I sit with them sometimes, or play ball and brush them. They are kept inside the house at night and most of the day, except for potty breaks. We are more careful in the summer heat, even though they seem to like being out there.
“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”
“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”

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.

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!
“This was our first time to ever use Rover or anyone other than family to take care of our fur babies. Amber took great care and loved on them daily. She sent daily pics and communicated with us as well to ease our minds on our time away. We will definitely use Amber again! Highly recommend her to take care of your pets too!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chattanooga Valley
So far my experience has been that Pilgrim, my spoiled 16 yr old with kidney problems, is in safe and trystworthy hands with Emilee. She follows instructions confidently, writes wonderful feedback about her visit, and takes great pictures for Pilgrim's Rover card. I feel very very lucky that Emilee lives close by and is my catsitter of choice! She is a thoughtful, mature, cheery young lady. Thanks!!!

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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
