“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.”
“Always kind and takes great care of Pepper. It's Pepper's.home away from home. She loves it on Jaime's farm and enjoys the dogs and other animals immensely. Jaime is always thoughtful with updates and pictures/videos. I'm completely confident that Jaime and her family take great care of Pepper, as if she werw part of their family. Thank you SO much!”
“My first time using Rover….so glad they have people like Kristen!! She put me at rest the first time we met and she was very responsive to all messaging. I loved that I received picture updates during my pups stay with her. ??”
“Angela was wonderful with our babies. She kept us well looped in while we were out of the country. Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way). The initial meeting went well, loved the fact her yard is fenced in. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for their kids.”

“Christina and Brent are absolutely wonderful! They are the ultimate dog sitters. They genuinely love dogs and treat their fur-friends as if they were their own. Mazie had a wonderful time at their house!!!! I received pictures and updates throughout her stay. I highly recommend and will definitely be using them again!!!”
“I can not say enough great things about Alora! This was my first time using Rover. My son got called out of town, I live in SC and his friend bailed on him. With in hours she was able to great his dog. She kept him in her home for 5 days. I received updates and pictures every day. He was well taken care of. I know my son will use her again and I recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter booked with her. I wish I could give 10 stars. Thanks to her my son and I had price of mind that Chief was in good hands.”
“I texted Megan when I heard the thunder last weekend to let her know we packed Barkley’s thunder shirt if he needed it. She said that she already had it on him and sent a picture. That meant a lot that she was looking out for him like that. We’ve used her several times and when we drop him off he looks happy to be there. It’s clear he likes being there and she is an excellent caregiver.”
“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our dogs! They were happy and engaged. We got lots of pictures and updates of them playing, relaxing and enjoying themselves. We would book again and definitely will!”

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.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in East Brainerd can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Brainerd. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
