“We left our two small dogs with Della for a few hours while we were doing a local tour on vacation. She said she took them out often, she was friendly, and they seemed very comfortable approaching her. She was waiting with them outside when we drove up to pick them up and both dogs were smiling! - that told me with the looks on their faces that they were comfortable, well cared for, and also happy and having fun. I would most definitely recommend her! And I’m very grateful that she was able to do this for us!”
About: With two years at a dog shop, I've mastered boarding, grooming basics, and playtime. Growing up with dogs, now owning a Frenchton and Shih Tzu, I offer hands-on, loving care beyond the basics! I’m currently working part time at another job! So I’ll have plenty of time in the afternoons and weekends for all your fur babies needs! In my home and clients homes, I ensure pets have been feed, fresh water, and exercise. I maintain a clean environment, provide companionship, and follow specific care instructions from their owners.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for decades, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. My experience goes well beyond simply loving dogs and cats. Over the years, I have cared for my own animals as well as pets and livestock belonging to others, including dogs of different ages and personalities, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits and a variety of farm animals. I currently provide professional drop-in animal care through my own local farm and pet-care business, where I care for clients’ animals in their homes and follow the routines their families have established for them. One of the things I believe matters most when caring for someone else’s animal is paying attention. I take the time to notice an animal’s normal behavior, appetite, mobility, surroundings and general demeanor. If something seems unusual, I communicate with the owner rather than simply completing the visit and moving on. I’m comfortable with senior animals, young and energetic pets, multiple-pet households and animals that simply need a little extra patience while they get comfortable with someone new. During visits, I believe pets deserve more than food in a bowl and a quick trip outside. I enjoy spending time with them, giving them attention, playing, walking, providing plenty of affection when they want it, and helping maintain the routine they’re accustomed to while their family is away. I also understand how important communication is when you’re trusting someone with your animals and your home. I provide updates so you’ll know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat the animals entrusted to me the way I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, kindness, attention and respect. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to incorporate pet-care visits throughout my workday. I already provide recurring drop-in care for clients and plan my schedule around their established routines whenever possible. I’m available for both recurring weekday visits and occasional care when families are working, traveling or simply need an extra set of hands. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate morning, midday and afternoon visits with advance notice. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, water, potty routines, walks, medications when appropriate, doors, gates, crates and household access. I pay close attention to both your pet and their surroundings during every visit. If I notice a change in behavior, appetite, mobility or anything else that concerns me, I will communicate with you promptly. I also respect that every animal is different—some want lots of attention and affection, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security and clear communication with you are always priorities during my visits.
“Christina was awesome. She was good with Maggie and communicated frequently with me. Maggie was perfectly happy staying with her and got along well with her dogs. I will definitely use Christina again when we return to the area.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Decherd commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
