“Carrie was…. Simply amazing. It had been years since I left my fur baby with anyone and she made me feel so comfortable and confident from the moment we made contact. She updated me often with pics on how my baby was doing, and you can tell she truly loves the pups. I couldn’t possibly recommend her enough and am so grateful to have found her. I will DEFINITELY be using her more often.”
“Jay was great with our elderly dog, Coco. Many people are nervous about caring for such an old pup but Jay was very kind to Coco and took great care of him. He also accommodated our pups diapers and special diet with no complaints or issues. He sent us regular updates so that we could feel comforted knowing our baby was well taken care of. Thank you so much Jay.”
“Kristen has been our go-to pet sitter for two years. When our pups stay with her, we know they’ll get plenty of love and interaction. It’s a fun vacation for them, and we rest easy knowing they are in good hands. She is always great about sending us pictures and updates. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a sitter. 🐶”
“This was our second time leaving our boys with Stephanie and I can’t recommend her more! She’s very communicative and sends nightly messages with photos and videos of what they did for the day. We will continue to use her for our boarding needs.”
“Christina is our #1 choice, hands-down; we don’t want to use anyone else! Our Ben is so excited when he sees them, plays & thrives while there & returns to us a happy, healthy pup. I cannot day enough about positive, welcoming energy there.”
“We had an amazing experience. Crista took our two big dogs in when we were out of town and our original sitter had to take care of an emergency. She picked them up from the other home and gave us regular updates with pics which helped us relax in this stressful situation. Great caring place for fur babies !”
“We were nervous about introducing our elderly pup, Bear, to a new boarding situation but with his mobility issues, taking him on trips just isn’t feasible any more, Jaxen assuaged those fears quickly, and took such fantastic care of him! Apparently, the specialized in elderly dog care. Bear was a happy, relaxed boy when we came back. We will definitely be utilizing Jaxen again.”
“Alora was super great! My little old man had such a blast and is now pleasantly tired! She did well keeping me updated with lots of pictures! 10/10 Will be booking with her again!”
“Destiny was fantastic! Communication was great, and we got daily updates/pictures of our dog. We were confident our pup was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be using her again 😊.”
“I have an American Pit bull named Roxy, She doesn’t like everyone but she seemed comfortable in the home of Megan and Jeff, I haven’t noticed any behavioral issues after Roxy returned home as I have with other dogs and other boarding places. I felt very comfortable leaving Roxy with Megan. My only fear was that Roxy may not have wanted to leave when I returned from my trip… Stephen Anderson”
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. Whether your pup is a high-energy player who thrives on structured exercise or a gentle soul who prefers quiet couch snuggles, I tailor my environment to fit their specific needs. You will receive frequent photo updates and clear communication throughout their entire stay, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is safe, pampered, and having a five-star vacation of their own. 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.
“Our puppy Darla stayed at Joslynne's for a night and we loved the entire experience; from a smooth drop off/check in, to the updates we received! We will 100% use Joslynne again for an overnight booking. We also reached back out to use her for daycare and that too was so good! Thank you Joslynne! Darla will be back soon!!”
“Marluce and her family were great. You can tell they love animals. Bella was in good hands. She took Bella for walks and threw the ball with her in their fenced backyard. Bella got along fine with their dog Cassie and we got lots of pics. We will definitely have Bella stay with her again, in fact she is staying with her again this week! Thanks Marluce and family!”
“Chad was great with Scout. We had her board Scout at our house while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates to let us know how he was doing. We returned to find a clean house and a happy pup.”
“Rachel was absolutely fantastic and I am very lucky to have found her to watch my kitty while I was out of town. She sent me unprompted photos daily which I really appreciated. It was so nice to be away knowing my cat was in good hands. The next time I go out of town, she will be the first person I’d reach out to if I need a pet sitter.”
“Jake and Caroline kept our Khloe Mae this past weekend and she had the best time (slept for hours when she got home) !! Drop off and pick up was very easy and they sent pictures every few hours and constantly gave us updates about her. Jake & Caroline’s kiddos and dog Ollie got along very well with Khloe and they all seemed to enjoy their visit together. They even took Khloe on a little walk/ water time in the creek. We plan on booking with them again in September!!”
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’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Brainerd
Kayley has been the BEST for boarding my girl Tessa while I’m out of town. She is patient and responsive; excellent with specific medication and/or diet details. I know my girl is going to get to run around outside, hang with other dogs, and get loving attention from humans when she is with Kayley. The photos and updates during Tessa’s stay give me peace of mind that she is being well cared for.
Abigail and her husband were exceptional in caring for Miley. They were very communicative throughout the entire boarding, sending pictures and regular updates, and were flexible with the pickup time. Miley’s mood was great returning home and she seems to have thoroughly enjoyed her time with Abigail’s family. We are looking forward to our next stay!
Vanessa is truly a blessing to our family. I was able to relax and travel without a single worry about our baby getting the same spoiled care he gets at home. She never complained about all his odd demand's. He was loved and safe from drop off to pick up. Thank you for giving my baby a vacation he loved.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their East Brainerd home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your East Brainerd.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your East Brainerd sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
