“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica helped so much! She was so attentive to Cleo, and you can tell Cleo absolutely adores her and her family ☺️ She provided pictures and updates everyday! I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out!”
“Harvey loved his stay, a huge fenced in backyard, multiple walks per day, and Nugget was a great playmate. We received multiple photo updates each day. They were very accommodating with taking Harvey last minute and with pickups times. Highly recommended!”
“Joan is a very sweet lady. Cookie enjoyed her. We were traveling from TX to watched Alabama and Tennessee football game in TN. And Our reservation with Joan was done at the last minute. We were so blessed with Joan. She is flexible and very dependable sweet lady. If we ever return to Tennessee, will definitely utilize Joan again! Cookie was so excited first time meeting her!”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Holly was awesome. She genuinely cared about my dog Booger. She sent me updates with pictures and videos everyday. She made me feel safe and secure about leaving my Boogie for a week. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Kelley was very patient and caring with my two cats. It was a long stay and they were very shy at the start. She kept them safe and took care of their needs. She gave good updates on their progress and eventually gained their trust for some good pictures and belly rubs. I would recommend Kelley for boarding your pets. She does a great job!”
“Mort thoroughly enjoyed his time hanging with Dexter, Nicole & the rest of the gang. New to the area and happy to have found a great sitter with frequent updates to help alleviate any angst.”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our two large, high-energy labs had the best time with her. She kept them active, happy, and well cared for, and she sent us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in her care. Heather was also very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. We would gladly trust her with our pups again!”
“Katie was awesome with our Kingsley! Very organized, kept us updated throughout the trip, and posted lots of photos while we were gone. He had an absolute blast! We will definitely be back!”
“We were a first timer with Rover and decided to select Becky W as our sitter who agreed to take care of them at our home. Becky did an outstanding job caring for our two sweet Lhasa Apsos! We are forever grateful for the communication, sending photos and providing updates including videos during her time with them. It gave us great relief feeling that they were being well cared for. Thank you Becky for making this experience a great one! It truly reduced the stress and helped us have even a better time knowing our babies were in great hands. We will be sure to reach out again when we need a sitter! Thank you so much and God bless.”
“Jenny accepted a last minute booking and really helped us out of a bad situation. My mother in law fell and was in the hospital. We needed someone to take care of her dog. Jenny accepted the booking and took geeat care of Butter. She was accommodating and response. We really appreciate everything she did to help with Butter.”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Carrie and her family recently cared for our doggie for a week at their house, and I could not be happier. They provided amazing care for her and kept us up to date with photos and videos the entire time. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time and I'm sure she would be thrilled to go back and see Carrie anytime!”
“The absolute best! I was a little nervous leaving Mable, but Julianne kept me updated and sent lots of amazing pictures! So thankful for them! Mable came home and slept all afternoon from all the fun she had!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Chilhowee can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chilhowee home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chilhowee.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chilhowee. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
You and your Chilhowee sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
