“Brandi was excellent and our pup loved her. She went above and beyond and sent sweet pictures of our girl running around in her fenced back yard. She is very convenient if you’re in downtown Chattanooga. I would highly recommend her.”
“Karie was a wonderful choice for boarding our cat and pup during our longer trip. Her home is welcoming with a safe backyard. She loved on my babies and gave them full freedom just as they are used to at home. Her dog was a sweetheart playmate that instantly hit it off with my pup and was equally respectful of my cat. In each picture she sent, my pets looked so at peace and well taken care of. I hope to book with Karie again in the future!”
“I would recommend Carrie. She was great at communicating and sharing updates about our dog,Winnie’s, visit. Carie made Winnie feel right at home from the first moment of meeting her. Winnie had a great week with Carrie!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Megan was so great with my dog Oreo. She sent pictures and reassured me that things were going great. I think my dog has a new best friend with her dog. They had a wonderful play date/sleep over. I highly recommend Megan, and I know I will be working with her again.”
“Joseph was amazing taking care of Trixie, we recently got her, so he gave me a few tips on how to train her properly which I really appreciated. He is an excellent sitter and if I ever need to board Trixie again, I will definitely be asking him to take her again. He also sent daily updates with photos and videos and I really loved that because it lets me see from the distance that she is happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Kristen is amazing and my Coco loves her. She sends pictures while Coco is in her care and gives frequent updates via the Rover app. We couldn’t ask for better care for our girl while we are away.”
“Taylor [& her husband] were amazing! They took such great care of my dog / 2-year-old puppy! And their dog Maggie was lovely too. I know Archie had a fabulous time as after I picked him up in the morning - he literally napped all day! I will definitely have Archie stay with them again!”
“Sara is the best! I recently left my sweet boy Leo with Sara while I traveled across the country for over a week. Due to flight delays and massive storm my trip was extended and I was delayed getting home. Sara gladly kept Leo longer and made sure I received updates and photos while I was away and missing my pup. I’m so grateful for Sara and the amazing care and love she provided to Leo while I was away. Sara is our #1 go-to anytime Leo needs to be cared for in my absence in the future. Thank you, Sara!”
“Kept me informed about my little Boston daily. With pictures and videos, I didn't feel as isolated from him as I had anticipated I would be.I saw he was enjoying his walks and cuddling and visiting the outdoors. Boston was on medications and Terri kept me informed of his progress. Thanks!”
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
About: Animals are my life. I’ve had pets since I was a baby and they mean everything to me. I love all and will care for them in any way they need and especially love seeing all the different personalities. I currently have two cats, and dog and a rabbit of my own. My dog does have special needs, which comes along with some anxiety, but he’s really good with other animals. I typically work from home throughout the week but do leave for meetings and showings (real estate agent). That being said, It is a pretty flexible job, so I can work with you to make sure something works out. Every morning my pets are the first task. Taking the dog out, giving my dog his medicine, feeding and making sure all pets have food water. I like to make sure that my pets, and others, are fed and let out on the schedule. If the schedule is a little different than normal, I like to make sure their needs are taken care of at an appropriate time. I don’t want them being hungry, need water or ever have to hold going to the bathroom too long.
About: I have been a dog sitter for senior pets, as well as puppies. I'm familiar with training practices for puppies, and an adequate diet based on dog size needed to sustain their well-being. I love being active and can sustain the energy to keep your furry baby moving. I am available in the mornings and early afternoons to check in and care for pets. I can also board for occasional overnight stays, while you are out of town or away on vacation. In the client's home, I maintain boundaries of where the owner wants the pet to roam. I will clean up any messes or dirt the animal gets into, and will assure to care for your pet as I would my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and just adopted my two (from photo) back in 2020. After years of just fostering and caring for a variety of dogs and volunteering at local shelters. I started doing petsits around the same time and I love it. I usually work 8am to 5pm, and am off on weekends. I am able to do lunch drop ins and check on your dog as regurlarly as you need me to. I have two small dogs of my own, they are very shy and usually get along with any dog, maybe also because they usually just ignore them and sleep. they are around 13yo (rescue dogs)
“Staysha is awesome! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. BB was well taken care of and we think a little sad to leave. Staysha sends tons of pictures and updates. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Dominique and her family welcomed our two dogs with open and loving arms. The dogs clearly had a great time. Great communication. Lots of photos and lots of walks. We really appreciate it!”
“My mom and I just moved to Chattanooga to be closer to our family up towards Nashville and we were in need of a dog sitter so we could visit them a few weekends ago and Abigail was so helpful. She took such good care of my German shepherd and kept us updated. We also arrived back in town pretty late and she was willing to keep her till we could get back. We really appreciate you, thank you!”
“Nash had a super great experience with Ivey (and Milo). We had a last minute change to our trip and she was more than willing to help us. Nash made himself right at home and was very well taken care of. We are so thankful and appreciative for finding Ivey.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Ridge
Pam was amazing! You can tell she was good with animals just at our first interaction. London wasn't anxious when she came home and she can be after leaving a vet, sitter, hair cut etc. London's is almost blind and almost deaf and 15 so I was a little nervous leaving her. I'm glad I did. she worked with my schedule and sent me pics of my baby while I was away. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!
We have used Crista multiple times to watch our pup Leonard. He loves when he gets to stay with her and always comes home happy and tired for playing! She is always very communicative. She sends daily updates with pictures and videos. If your dog loves to play and hang with other dogs Crista is the right option. I would recommend Crista to anyone.
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.
Tamia is a treasure! She took care of my two elderly mini dachshund boys for 5 nights, and they thrived with her and her little son. She is an awesome person, and I truly feel that I have found a friend. We could not have hired a better pet sitter, and I will definitely use her again. I recommend her without reservation.
Our girls Kaly and Vega had a blast at Whitley’s! They looked soo happy in all of the pictures and videos he sent. They loved his pups as well as all the friends they made during their stay. Whitley communicated frequently throughout their stay which we really appreciated. We can tell he loves dogs and doing whatever he can to bring them joy.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in East Ridge is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge.
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.
You and your East Ridge 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.
