“Amber was so wonderful! She made us feel so much better about leaving our kitten for a few days because she sent many pictures and long descriptions of what our kitten was up to. She genuinely cares about your pet & we would 100% use her again!”
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at MTSU currently home for the summer, and I’m working part time at the moment. This means that I am available often! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was nine years old and have years of personal hands-on experience. My experience comes from being a pet owner and helping care for animals as part of everyday life so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each pet’s individual personality. I currently work independently, which gives me the flexibility to arrange my schedule around the pets in my care because I manage my own weekly routine. I have plenty of time to provide walks playtime, feeding companionship, and individual tension without your pet feeling rushed or overlooked. I provide pet care in my clients homes or pets can remain in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding walking playtime medication‘s routines in any household rules provided by the pet parents safety, and trust are very important to me. I will keep doors, gates, crates and secure supervise pets appropriately and never allow unfamiliar people around your pet or inside your home. I will also respect your property. Keep the pet’s area clean and leave your home just as I found it.
About: Hi! I’m Taylor - a dependable, animal-loving sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. While I’m newer to Rover as a platform, I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and referrals, and I come with strong personal references and repeat clients outside the app. I understand that every pet is different. Some need high energy playtime and long walks, while others just want a calm, comforting presence and a good cuddle. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, which helps me adapt my care style to your pet’s needs. I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs with separation anxiety • Puppies and senior dogs • Administering basic medications • Maintaining routines and schedules • High-energy breeds that need structured activity I treat every pet as if they’re my own - with love, safety, and respect always coming first. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (EST). I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, and sitting around your pet’s routine. For weekday bookings, I do best with: • Morning visits before work • Evening visits after 5 PM • Overnight care with morning & evening routines • Weekend stays and extended care I’m communicative and reliable, and I’ll always be upfront about availability so there are no surprises. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine. In Your Home I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and bedtime routine. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing well. This option is especially great for pets with separation anxiety, seniors, or pets who prefer their own space. In My Home Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m mindful of routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I only take on pets I can fully care for, ensuring your pet gets individualized attention—not just supervision. I prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions at all times.
“Alora was amazing!! We hired her short notice and she was so flexible. Our animals were very well taken care of. She kept in contact with us the entire 2 weeks we were gone. I will certainly be hiring her again. I would recommend that you hire her to care for your fur babies!!”
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals of any kind and have been consistently watching and taking care of the pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have special experience in the care of senior and disabled animals. I’m currently working part time, so for daytime care I will be available on week days from 2:30 pm - 9 pm. On weekends I will be available all day. I will do everything I can to ensure that your animal feels comfortable and at home, regardless of the services I am providing. I will take any instructions into careful consideration to provide the utmost sense of normalcy for your furry friends!
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover through and through, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I work as a veterinary assistant, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in a medical setting and know how important it is to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member! I do work a full time job, M-F but am available to let the dogs out on my lunch break; provide walks or physical activity before and after. On the weekends I’m typically a home body! I have a fenced in area for puppies to run around in behind my house; I personally take my dog in the fenced area multiple times throughout the day to ensure enough exercise.. I have indoor cameras to ensure safety while I am at work. Dogs are allowed in all parts of the house and furniture! Safety and comfort are my main priority for the fur babies and their parents!
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
About: Grew up with dogs. Worked in a daycare for 3 years. I have a certificate for canine nutrition and basic training. I understand each pet is different and would love to cater to their needs. I’m currently available most mornings until noon and typically after 5pm. Depending on circumstances I may become available any time. I am pretty flexible and can discuss needs based on the client. I am available to house sit at a clients home. If the client has a fenced area I can utilize that space. If there is not a fence I know many places to walk or run and play.
About: I am an outdoorsy, Pre-PT student in undergrad. I love pets and house sitting, the extra cash really helps with school! My family has raised several puppies and has 8 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all ages and sizes and it brings me a lot of joy to have some pets to look after every once and a while! Reach out and I’d love to coordinate with ya. :) I am a Pre-PT college student in her senior year! Looking to make some extra cash doing something I love. I am free most evenings and don’t mind an early morning. I have worked with dogs for quite a while in a variety of different housing situations. I have experience with anything from a fenced-in yard to an invisible fence. I am happy to administer medicine to dogs and follow through on any feeding schedule or preferences. I love to play with, walk, and interact with dogs and am able to establish boundaries with them confidently.
About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog
“Emily was great. She came by for drop-ins for our dog and our mom’s dog who is super finicky. She made sure that our mom’s dog had the right conditions to go and made sure both dogs had some love and attention. Thanks Emily!”
“Elizabeth was so kind. Fell right into the routine, and made quick friends with my girl cat. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again!! Thank you for providing peace of mind to pet owners!!”
About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“Tommy did a wonderful job watching my girl Sadie. He did drop ins twice a day for me at my apartment while I was out of town recently since my dog does not do well boarding or around some other dogs and he always kept me posted with updates and pictures. Highly recommend Tommy as he follows up and is a big time dog lover.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life. Currently, we own two German Shepherd dogs. I understand how scary it is to leave them under someone else’s care. I am a teacher so I’m am currently out for the summer. I am early to rise so I could walk your dog in the morning. My schedule will change in August. I could not house another dog because we have an invisible fence and crates for our two dogs. I would be happy to come and feed, walk and play with your pets at their home.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Collegedale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Collegedale 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
