“Megan was so caring to my cats, Kit and Rip! This was a last minute request that she honored so we didn’t have a meet and greet beforehand but she did great. Kit and Rip loved having her!”
“Christa is thoughtful and caring. She watched our two dogs through the Christmas holiday and they had a great time. We were delighted that Christa did a photo shoot on Christmas Eve - a great laugh - and just more evidence that she really gives 110% to the dogs in her care!”
“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”

“Caroline showed up on time and spent the full 30 minutes with our pups. She followed our instructions and sent updates throughout the stay. She was a great help and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Jessie and I have been pet sitting for around 14 years. It started off with watching the neighbor’s dogs and turned into a full time gig. I am a very active person so I love taking dogs on walks, hikes and runs. I also love love ;) Making your pets feel safe and loved is my priority! I can do drop in visits, overnights in your home, and also boarding. Whether it's a walk or a week trip away, I will prioritize your animals as well as taking care of the house so its ready for you to come home. I have two amazing dogs and I believe that dogs are the best best friends and should be treated as such. I can’t wait to love on your animals and make sure they are well taken care of :) I work from home currently so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your pet/pets. I also have availability to spend overnights with them! In your home, I give your pets as much exercise as they want as well as all of the snuggles and enrichment to make them feel safe & comfortable. If boarding at my place... I have a super high fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company!

Whether it's a nervous doggo, young pup, or a cat that needs some extra companionship and care, I'll be there when you can't! From raising my first puppy, to caring for each of the following 10+ doggos. From being my friends' go-to pet sitter for a wide array of pets to helping feed horses and muck stalls. I've been around animals my whole life. I have also been trained in basic dog obedience and have been around many service dogs in training. I am honest and reliable and would treat your pet like they were my own! I currently work from home and can drop in on your fur baby during the afternoon/evening. I am looking to stay within a 15 minute drive of my apartment Ensuring your pet's safety and wellbeing is always my number one priority. I am constantly monitoring the area to avoid any interactions with unknown pets or people while I'm walking dogs. Additionally, I am working on my Fear Free certification through the animal shelter.

“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight every single night , I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine!

“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
“Gabby is fantastic! I have a very shy dog and she did amazing with her! Appreciated the help last minute and over a holiday weekend! Just the best and her daughter is adorable and a great helper too! Highly recommend 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. On my 18th birthday, I got an English Bulldog, which taught me the importance of understanding breed-specific needs, health concerns, and proper care. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours researching dog behavior, nutrition, exercise requirements, and overall wellness. I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires extra patience and attention, I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is very flexible this summer while I’m waiting for school to start back, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and follow the owner’s instructions closely. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular feeding schedules. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live directly across from a park and make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time and activity. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family. For house sitting, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while also respecting and caring for the owner’s home. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the attention and activity they need. No matter the service, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their well-being my top priority.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time ever having someone other than family take care of my Tori girl, so I was definitely nervous! Malinda was wonderful from the very beginning. She met with us twice before our scheduled day so Tori could get to know her, and I felt so much better knowing Tori was comfortable with her before I left. She was sweet and patient with my girl, followed everything I asked, and kept me updated throughout both visits. Being able to enjoy my day away without worrying about Tori meant more to me than she probably realizes. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy, and I will absolutely be calling Malinda again! ❤️
Lauren always goes above and beyond with our dogs! She checks in, send the best updates/pictures, and even goes as far as to brush them / vacuum their hair / clean any accidents. She always checks in with us before doing anything and we feel so comfortable and confident while she watches our boys! Highly recommend!
Alyssa was wonderful with my animals! Even for just a quick drop-in visit, she took my dog on a walk and gave attention to both my dog and cat too! Alyssa is super communicative and sent lots of pictures of my animals throughout the visit, as well as sent a detailed rundown of the trip. I would absolutely trust her to watch my animals again- I highly recommend booking with her! :)
Madeline really saved our butts when our original planned pet sitter chose not to answer her phone the day before we were leaving town, leaving us scrambling for coverage for 11 hours in the middle of the day. Madeline did not know us and still agreed at 11:30 PM the night before our 4 AM flight. She updated us throughout the day, played with the dogs, and honestly I think they were sad when we came home. She saved us again when our last flight into Chattanooga was canceled due to weather. Despite it being a holiday, she came back to feed and walk them again without hesitation. We will absolutely be using her again and recommending her to everyone we know.
Sarah was an amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of my dogs and cats and treated them like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and reliable hands. I came home to very happy pets and would absolutely trust her to watch them again. Highly recommend!

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 Ridge 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!

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.
