“Neyland had her first visit from Kimberly on 7/22, if she could talk, I'm sure she would have had many nice things to say. Kimberly was on time, picked up the packages from my porch, took them in and gave me peace of mind that my sweet girl wasn't alone all day. Will definitely let Kimberly drop in on Neyland in the future!”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
About: Although I don’t have any training experience with animals, I’m very experienced in loving them! We as people don’t deserve these amazing animals but I believe in trying to give them what they do deserve! I’m a teacher wanting to get a fur baby of my own! I’m hesitant because of my day to day life but i’d love to give cuddles, affection and attention to your babies especially now that it’s summer! I currently have the sweetest 3 year old silver lab! In addition, growing up i’ve always been around animals. I want your baby to feel safe and comfortable so i’m open to anything I can do to achieve that! No rules or “weird” quirks will bother me! My fur baby at home has plenty of those:)
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.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent photos every visit, and was very kind and understanding when I accidentally sent her on a wild goose chase to a wrong apartment on the other side of town. Will definitely hire her again! She was great with both of our kitties, and even cleaned the apartment a bit for us.”
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.
“I have 2 kitties, one being special needs with balance and mobility issues, and is also on medication daily. He requires a little extra care, so I am also concerned when using a new sitter. Nadine was phenominal!!! She asked all the right questions, during the meet and greet and was friendly with the kitties. You can definitely tell she genuinely loves animals. She sent lots of pictures, and sent me a visit report when the visit was done. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet boys!”
“Emily is wonderful with our sweet 6 month old golden retriever; it's obvious that she is a dog lover! She was really helpful Jackson was sick and unable to go to daycare. She has always been timely in her responses and flexible with scheduling. This particular visit was great because we are dogsitting for a friend and she did a great job of making sure both dogs needs were met. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker/sitter!”

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 have always had a special love for animals! I grew up on a farm and was constantly surrounded by dogs and cats, loving every moment of it! I am currently in between employment, so my schedule is extremely flexible to fit the needs of caring for your pets to ensure you have peace of mind while away. A detailed explanation of your pets needs that is easy to follow, will help me care for your pets like they are my own and meet their needs as if you never left.
“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!!”
“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 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
“Joslynne did a great job with my girls, they got lots of cuddles and I felt like they were in good hands. I'm very particular about who I get to care for my babies and I wasn't disappointed.”
About: I absolutely love animals of ALL kinds. I have 30+ years of experience caring for them. I have several references of people (friends) that have relied on me to care for their animals while they were away. Please let me know if you would like to meet and schedule today. I am currently not working so I can drop in to care for your pets 1-2 times a day. I always stay and give them pets/love because they miss their parents. We live in Ringgold (NE side) on 2 acres with a 6 foot privacy fence in the back yard. We currently have two Labs: Copper Ray, Abigale DeLaney “Abbie” and two cats Cassie Marie (Bobtail), and Oliver Patrick “Ollie” (Part Maine Coon) They all love laying on the couch together while inside. When they are outside they enjoy running, playing and hunting.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
To find sitters in Collegedale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
