House Sitting Chickamauga

“I had a wonderful experience! She was very responsive and took the time to come for a meet and greet before my trip. While I was away, I received plenty of pictures and videos, which made me feel reassured that my little Teddy Bear was in great hands.”

“Cortney took amazing care of my pack of 3 dogs and a pig. She updated me throughout the weekend and I came home to happy fur babies and a clean house. I highly recommend Cortney.”

“Chas was awesome! One of my dog had a health issue while I was away and she was quick to spot it and even went to the store to get him the required medication. She definitely went above and beyond and I highly recommend booking her.”

“Ryan is a fantastic dog and house sitter who loved on my dog Brady and gave him great care. He is so calm and responsible that I didn’t have a care in the world while being away for two weeks. I walked into my home just as I had left it and I think an even calmer dog than when I left him in his care. My flight was cancelled and he even stayed another night and brought him to Pet Paradise for a day of play when asked. I highly recommend Ryan as you couldn’t ask for a more helpful and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks Ryan for everything!!”

“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I love animals and have always had a dog plus some fun family pets like gerbils, turtles, fish, chickens, a goat, and a cockatiel! I often care for my children’s pets when they are out of town: Mini Golden Doodle, Great Dane, Pitbull, Rottweiler, and a Lab with puppies. I’m comfortable providing your pet with any medications or following special instructions, because I know how important their health is to you. I’d be happy to care for any of your animals. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and can make most anytime work. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Currently, I am only taking 1 dog at a time unless they are from the same family. I have a fenced backyard for your dog to play in, a nice neighborhood to go for walks, and I currently have no pets at home.

“Beth went above & beyond caring for our furry baby in our home for a weekend! It is clear that Beth loves animals, and our dog loved her! She sent us photo updates multiple times each day, which made us feel more comfortable leaving her. We would definitely call on Beth again in the future.”

“I requested a last minute stay from Madison and she was able to save the day and watch our house and kitty cat. She sent photo updates of my kitty and was very nice house guest. She made sure to clean our home and asked questions when necessary.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.

“Anna was great! She helped us out last minute with a weekend booking. Showed up on time, took our dogs on a walk, and kept them happy. Would definitely book again!”

About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.

About: Your dog’s comfort and joy come first. I bring years of experience and a genuine love for pups to make every visit fun, safe, and worry free! As a stay at home mom, I love spending my days caring for pets, going on walks, and visiting the horse barn. Pets easily fit into my daily routine, and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether it’s in my home or yours. I follow routines, rules, provide food, water, supervision, and lots of play time. In your home I respect your space while giving updates to build trust.

“Christian was incredibly friendly and communicative. He made sure to ask the right questions to ensure Ellie was being taken care of well.”

Promo code: GENEVG49713 https://www.rover.com/sit/genevg49713 I work from home 2 days per week, and my partner is home working 3 days a week. Our roommate also works at a vet hospital and is currently in school to get her vet tech degree. She works 5 minutes from the house and comes home on lunch breaks to let the dogs outside so they never go more than 4 hours at a time during the work week without a potty break. I am off on weekends so I’ll be home with them majority of the time on weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard, plus 3 dogs myself that love to meet new friends and play. I always make sure the dog has the same feeding routine they do when you are home. I try not to change up their normal routine so that the stay is as stress free as possible for your dog.

About: My brother Zach and I have ample experience in animal care. We typically housesit for friends and family over extended vacations however we have decided to go out and try Rover. Zach has worked with just about any farm animal you can think of and I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats. Together we can take great care of your fur baby! Typically depending on the dogs routine, we will work our flexible day jobs around you puppy’s routine to ensure plenty of bathroom breaks and time to run around and get some exercise! We offer a variety of care depending on the needs from your specific puppy. We will stay overnight with them, we will give them all the bathroom breaks they need, and make sure they have a great time while you’re away!

About: I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and those with special needs, including mild-moderate reactivity. I, myself have a 10-year-old pup that we adopted from a shelter in 2018. I've fostered dogs in the past for a senior rescue non-profit in Monterey, CA where I cared for and assisted in the adoption placement of 6 dogs over the course of 1 year. You can rest easy on your business trip, family vacation, or wherever you are knowing that I will treat your four-legged family member as my own. Thank you very much for considering me! I'm currently working part-time as an after-school teacher, so I'm only away for 3-4 hours a few days a week. Outside of this, my daily schedule is fairly flexible so I can work around your pets' normal schedule! I like to keep to a regular schedule with the pets I'm caring for. I've found that by doing this, they warm up to me more quickly and it helps ease any potential stress of their family being away. A typical general day would include a morning walk, afternoon park visit, hike, or other similar high energy play-time, and an evening walk. I also love to include mental stimulation throughout the day such as mini-training sessions. I will always do a consultation before care begins to ensure I have a thorough understanding of the daily needs for your pet to adjust the schedule as needed.

“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”

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
