“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“JaNiya is an angel! She came to save the day when I was all the way in California and a sitter bailed on me. She came in and loved on my puppy, helped put my house back in order and get him on track with his meds. She gave me very helpful updates to ease my worry and also gave some flvery helpful insights as a new dog mom. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Wanda! She was so good with Jojo and Bella. She walked them twice a day and gave them so much love. We received pictures and texts about their day. We would highly recommend Wanda!”
“Cayla was the perfect sitter for my grumpy old man. He absolutely loved having her here and so did I. She gave him all of the attention and met his every need (and want). She sent me pictures every day of Smoke, and of the two of them interacting, and it made my vacation so much more relaxing. She knew exactly how to treat my almost 18 year old kitty and for that I am extremely grateful. I will definitely be calling her for my pet sitting needs in the future. If I could, I would have given her 10 stars.”
“Justin was so professional and communicative. Our pets all have special needs above average, and he was attentive to those details and kept me updated on how the needs were handled without me having to ask. We will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Lauren took great care of my babies and my house. She sent pictures every day and cleaned before she left. She definitely left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was great! She cared for our pug Percy for 5 days and provided lovely updates. We had many communications before the sit and during - Lindsay is quick with texts and communicates clearly. We arrived home to a happy pup and everything in the house left clean and orderly. Big plus is she will take amazing photos of your pets! We would welcome Lindsay back any time!!”
“I had a wonderful experience! She was very responsive and took the time to come for a meet and greet before my trip. While I was away, I received plenty of pictures and videos, which made me feel reassured that my little Teddy Bear was in great hands.”
“Jacee was an excellent sitter & kept me updated with daily photos while house sitting. My fur babies loved her & I definitely trust her to stay with them again in the future. :)”
“Kathryn was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog for a week and we were so nervous. Before we left our dog got sick and we almost cancelled our vacation but we told Kathryn what was going on and what we were going to need from her while she was watching him. When we met Kathryn, Jameson was so excited and was happy to have someone that was going to take great care of him. She updated us on everything and sent great pictures. When we came home a few days ago we could just tell that Jameson was the happiest puppy when we walked through our dog and was taken care of so well and feeling so much better! We will be using Kathryn again for our next getaway:)”
“Trey was great with my crew! I have 6 dogs and he handled them very well. Also, we had flooding here while I was out of town and I had water come in the house. He let me know about everything and put down blankets and towels and cleaned everything up.”
“Addisen was amazing! She came over prior to the visit to meet my pets and listened to all ramblings of instructions. She communicated and sent pictures everyday I was gone. I was so grateful to find her! Definitely would recommend her to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“As usual, Allie is a rockstar and we couldn’t be happier with her level of care for our frenchies and cats! She consistently goes above and beyond as a house/pet sitter. Our fur babies love her and it is evident she loves them too. We are incredibly thankful we found her and will continue to call upon her when we have the opportunity to travel.”
“Very pleased with Ryan once again he took stellar care of my Furry Kids! He sent pictures of them letting me know they were comfortable with him! All around great Vibe from Ryan, Ryan checked in with me making sure my travels brought me back on time before he departed! 100% positive will continue using Ryan!”
“Kaitlynn was wonderful! She stayed with my pup for a weekend that I had to be out of town. She was very professional and easy to get in touch with. She stayed in touch with me throughout the weekend and sent picture updates! My pup absolutely loved her and had a fantastic weekend. You won’t be disappointed if you work with Kaitlynn!”
“Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.”
“Shelby was wonderful and provided care above and beyond for my older dog and box turtle. She sent daily reports with updates to ease my mind while I was cruising on vacation. Additional feeding steps were needed to “entice” my dog to eat his food as he’s gotten pickier with age but Shelby handled it flawlessly all while leaving my house in a clean condition upon return. I would highly recommend Shelby for future house sitting jobs.”
“This was our first time using Abril and she did not disappoint. She sent us updates along with pictures and videos. Kingston was happy and his usual energetic self. Thank you Abril.”

JaNiya was awesome. This is the first time that she has kept my sweet puppy and it turned out great. She did everything I asked her to do for my little puppy and kept my house up for me. Very nice young lady and I would highly recommend her. I definitely will be calling her again.
Natalie was amazing! We were super nervous with this being the first time having a stranger stay in our house and with Squirrel, but she was so great and communicative! She sent us many updates, kept our home in the tidiest shape, and, most importantly, she gave Squirrel the best care and love. Would 1000% use her again and recommend her to anyone!
Rebooking was a no-brainer because he’s still the best sitter we’ve ever had. Our dogs absolutely love him — the kind of love where they barely notice we’re leaving. He kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and took them on long walks so they could catch up on all their neighborhood “pee-mails.” Always a relief to return to happy pups, even though they’re already plotting our next trip so they can get Jadarius to come back!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Chattanooga
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Chattanooga on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 479 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Chattanooga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Chattanooga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Chattanooga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Chattanooga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 95% 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.
