About: I’m a Licensed Vet tech and can take care of small animals. From older puppies to seniors. I’ll take care of them like my own dog. I’m looking towards working and can help out in many ways for your pets needs. From feeding to going out to go potty, and even naps! I walk them out the potty. And have 2 dogs to keep them company. I have crate to put them in at night, if needed.
About: My grandparents never allowed us to have any pets in our home. As soon as I turned 18, I got my first puppy. Since then, it's been quite an adventure for my spouse and I. With more than 12 years of dog fostering, transport, and walking, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments and he's been there along for the ride. Our rescues have taught us the importance of individualized care. I'm committed to providing a loving, fun, yet safe environment for your fur family member(s). We can't wait to meet your fur best friend! I’m currently a stay-at-home-mom taking online college courses. We are home (almost) all day to care for, play with and let out your loved pups! I am now offering boarding services in my home on Fort Campbell. Our rescues have since crossed rainbow bridge and we now have a pup that loves to play with others. Slow, monitored introductions are always done. I have three children, 10, 7.5 and almost 2, who've also gained a love for any and all animals, while also knowing to respect and give space when it is needed.
About: I have taken care of pet’s since I was a kid from family pet’s to friends to walking neighbors dogs. Whether your pup is wanting to take a nap on its bed, or chase squirrels in the back yard or take a stroll around the block I’m here to accommodate his/her needs. I work from home majority of the time, the most I’m out of the house is 4 hours consecutively. When I am away and at night I lock the pet’s in their own crate ( unless they have a “thunder-buddy”) to ensure their safety so no accidents happen. Your pet’s health and safety is my top concern. I have a child in home so his safety is also my concern. I know new places and people can give some pup/s anxiety and not all dogs do well with kids. If your doggo is anxious around kids please let me know so that way I can ensure my families safety while also accommodating and ensuring your pet is at ease while in my care. I have a fenced back yard for your pet to get adequate outside time, If your pet likes walks I am happy to take them for a stroll around the block, I am firm on sticking to your pet’s feeding times and will accommodate that to my best ability. I provide treats and toys to pets that are cared for in my home, if your pet requires any type of special care ( allergies, anxiety, food aggression, hyperactive, etc) please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure I am providing your baby the best service possible.
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”

About: I'm a stay at home mom looking to make extra money in a way that will be fun for my kids too! I have a 9 year old daughter, 6 year old son, 4 year old son, and 1 year old daughter. Our beloved dog of 5 years recently got attacked and killed by another dog and we are looking to mend our broken hearts by having other dogs enter our home again! We all love the companionship that dogs can bring. I worked at a dog kennel for 3 years and love spending time with well trained dogs! I have also offered dog sitting to friends and family in the past and of course have experience with the Dachshund Yorkie mix that we did own. I have previous experience with dog sitting and dog walking, but I'm very capable of offering exceptional doggy day care services and drop-in visits. My kids LOVE dogs and are very helpful and loving towards all dogs as well. Book with me today!! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am a stay at home mom with a fairly flexible schedule, so I will be available for bookings most hours of the day, aside from 4-8pm.

About: Hello, my name is Hailey and I am 26 years old. I’ve always had a huge love for all animals of all sorts and sizes. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small animals. I myself have 2 well behaved dogs around 3 years old and have a bird, but I’ve owned many different reptiles, and of course have had my fair share of small animals growing up(who hasn’t!). I have volunteered at the woods humane society where I have acquired many professional skills as well as some good pro tips on how to properly handle an animal that has a heavier weight. I’m very comfortable around all animals and know my way around potentially nervous habits and I’ve had experience with dogs needing medicine administered and have a little experience caring for a dog with diabetes. All around I think I have the skills and the compassion it takes to give your fur baby a dang good time! I also worked as an assistant manager at a family owned pet shop where we took care of a wide range of animals, caring for their needs as well as making sure they are handled and ready for forever homes! Feel free to message me at anytime if you have any questions, I’m very positive I’m a great match for your animal care needs ! I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 2 year old girl and am pregnant with my second so I’m often just home or running small errands so my availability is wide open ! I know what you’re thinking, pregnant and with a toddler!? But I promise after having my first I’m convinced I can do anything and at this point I’m very good and knowing what I can and can’t handle so please don’t be afraid to reach out ! This has been a perfect and very fun way for me to make some extra money for my family and have been doing it for 10 years, I don’t think there’s a better side job out there for a stay at home mom like me ! I currently have 2 dogs and a bird and a snake who are apart of my family ! The bird is caged when other animals are in the home and the snake is upstairs so no worries with either of them ! I used to house sit for a couple who had two dogs and two birds and two cats ! It was quite a zoo but it was so fun ! So I’m used to taking care of many animals at once and have experience in many areas including reptiles !
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all ages and personalities since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I'm patient, responsible, and comfortable with energetic pups, shy dogs, and seniors who need a gentler pace. Your pet's safety, routine, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'm active, organized, and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. With my flexible schedule, I can reliably stop by for visits, walks, or extended care. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I take safety and trust seriously in every home I enter. I follow your pet's routine exactly as you describe it, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes, and I always make sure pets feel calm and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I adjust to their needs and treat them with patience and care.

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 Dover 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.
