“I recommend Stephanie to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friend or someone just to drop by and make sure they are okay! She was very understanding, knowing I had a demanding job that changed my booking time. I was very appreciative for her accommodation.”

About: I am a loving, caring, and compassionate animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and farm animals. I understand the importance of providing pets with safe , attentive, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether walking dogs, feeding and caring for household pets, or assisting with the daily needs of farm animals, I am dedicated to ensuring animals feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. My genuine passion for animals, combined with my responsible and dependable nature, makes me a trustworthy caregiver for pets of all kinds. What truly sets me apart in dog care is my ability to provide adaptable, expert attention whether I am hosting your pup at my home, walking them in your neighborhood, or dropping by for a visit. I don't just watch your dog; I seamlessly sync with their unique lifestyle and daily routine. From managing high-energy leash pullers on active walks and patiently comforting an anxious rescue to providing a secure, engaging environment with my own dogs, I bring the exact same level of total dedication to every single service. Because I am home all day and deeply experienced with canine body language, your dog always gets focused supervision, the right balance of structure and play, and absolute physical safety. I bridge the gap between fun and reliability, ensuring your furry family member is happy, tired out, and well-cared for while giving you complete peace of mind through transparent updates. When you board your pet with me, they aren’t just getting a place to sleep—they are getting a loving home away from home where their safety and happiness are the top priorities. I treat every guest like a member of my own family, offering free-roam comfort, personalized attention, and a consistent routine that minimizes any separation anxiety.

Choosing me means choosing absolute peace of mind, because I work from home and am here to provide supervised, 5-star care all day long in a structured and loving environment. Your pup will enjoy the ultimate backyard vacation in my massive, securely fenced yard, where they can burn off energy and play safely alongside my own friendly dogs for built-in companionship. I prioritize both emotional comfort and physical safety, which is why my home is fully equipped to accommodate your dog’s specific routine—including the ability to comfortably crate them for meals, bedtime, or relaxing downtime if they prefer a quiet, secure space of their own. From constant companionship to tailored safety measures, I ensure your furry family member feels completely secure, happy, and right at home throughout their entire stay.
About: I am a stay at home mom. Our beloved dog cocoa passed away after 13 years with us. We have four children (9,7,5,3) they love helping me care for dogs we watch. They mostly help with giving lots of love and hugs. We have been helping folks through Rover for over a year and enjoy having many repeat dog watching requests. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. Your pet would have many loving arms to be loved with. Our family loves caring for pets. We plan on owning a pet of our own in the future. I have a fenced-in large yard to accommodate for outdoor time and close to dog park for walking. I feel comfortable around larger dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable.

About: I am an experienced animal owner and previous vet assistant. I have three dogs and two cats, and have experience with exotic and small/caged animals as well. I have worked with many types of special needs animals (aggressive, multiple medications, assisted walking, etc) so I am comfortable around ALL cat and dog types! I would love to just stop by or stay for extended visits. I am in the East Brainerd area but definitely willing to travel when needed. I run everyday with my dogs and could with yours too. Although, I would love to sit and watch some Netflix with your couch potato puppies too! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about stays or arrangements- I have flexible hours and availability at this time and would love to hear from you! Pet care is my life! I love animals and am willing to work hard for your fur family so you can rest easy while you are away. I am willing to clean after myself and your animals while you are away, just leave details, also happy to take care of small chores, like putting the garbage out and getting the mail.

About: I have taken care of animals for years. Pet sitting for friends and family. I went to school for animal science pre-vet and also worked in multiple veterinary hospitals as an assistant. I myself own a Saint Bernard and know what it takes to single handedly take care of a large breed dog. He is socialized, docile, kind, and loves other dogs. He doesn’t have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body thanks to all of my hard work and training and love. My best friend is a local vet and will always be there if anything happens. I have also pet sat for her and she trusts me with all 8 of her animals. I spoil animals but also read them very well and gain their trust. Your animals are safe and loved with me! I am more than willing to do a meet and greet before I officially do any service. If you want me to provide doggy day care or boarding I can bring my big guy to a park and we can meet eachother or I can come over and meet your dog and you before you book me for walking or just drop ins. Whatever makes you the most comfortable with me and your precious baby! I currently work remotely part time. I can add pet sitting to my routine easily. I can attend to any needs and have free time the majority of the time. I live in an apartment and have a dog that can keep your fur baby company. He is a Saint Bernard and neutered. He is docile and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. A professional trainer even said he is the most happy go lucky dog he’s ever seen. Your fur baby will have a great time playing with him. He is also great with cats. He has three cat siblings. My cats are good with other cats I just ask you confirm your cats are feline leukemia negative if you want your kitty to stay here. If you want your cat to stay here but not be with the other cats I can make arrangements so they don’t interact. My apartment is a one bedroom but spacious. The complex has a dog park and plenty of places to walk and enjoy time. The dog park is usually empty so it’ll just be yours and mine fur baby. I have a large and extra large crate so you don’t need to provide one if your dog is crate trained. My car is a Chevrolet blazer and large so it can carry large breed and small breed dogs safely. The community I live in is nice and not far from multiple parks I can take your dog too as well. I am home all the time and work remotely so I can pet sit and board.
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 or 5 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Collegedale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 850 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Collegedale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
