“Arlayna is an excellent cat sitter! Our cat Kyle can be wildly energetic and playful and she does an incredible job of taking care of him & getting his energy out. She’s also very reliable, great communicator, and detail oriented with her updates.”
“Laurie is an excellent dog sitter. She is extremely dependable and fantastic with my two dogs. I never worried one time while out of town. Laurie sent pictures and kept me updated on each visit. Will definitely use Laurie’s services again.”
“Journey was amazing to work with! Great communication, kept me updated with lots of pics, clearly took great care of my fur babies while I was away. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I have had cats as pets for my entire life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family throughout my childhood. As a wildlife biologist, I have love for all animals and understand what is most important for the health and safety of your pet. I am currently taking classes remotely so I have plenty of time throughout the week to feed, exercise and have fun with your furry friends I am available for drop in visits/house sitting, aa well as dog walking visits. I am able to administer any needed medications when provided with instructions.
About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I am a college student that is home for the summer working and internship! My schedule is somewhat flexible but on my work days they run pretty long. Dog walking in the morning or early afternoon is something that would work with my schedule. Any house sitting needs work during the week, and can be a little different on the weekend but it can still work! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Debbee. We have two very particular dogs and this was our first time using Rover. Debbee was so communicative and on the ball. We spoke prior to her getting there, as she was sure to make sure she had an understanding of both dogs. She was inconstant communication while visiting them as well. Sent photos, gave us updates about their eating (both dogs eat less when we’re away). I could not have asked for someone better to take care of our fur babies!! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Debbee!! <3”
About: I’ve cared for pets big and small, and I always focus on giving each one the respectful, attentive, and joyful experience they deserve. I know how important our pets are to us, so I make sure to follow their cues, support their comfort, and keep things fun and positive. You can count on me to provide reliable care that makes your pet feel genuinely understood and well loved. That’s a promise! I’m a teacher with afternoons free, living by a park with a backyard. My simple, independent lifestyle allows me to give pets focused, attentive, and fun care. I provide pets a safe, comfortable space indoors with easy outdoor access for playtime. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I offer consistent, loving, and attentive care.
“Kristie was wonderful and very reliable! She did a great job watching our cat and giving her a pill every morning. She was very attentive, thorough, quick to respond, and provided frequent updates. I would 100% recommend her care and if I need a future sitter, I will go to Kristie. Thank you!”
“Accepted request last minute for the holidays, was very informative with updates and even went out of her way to assist with providing a necessity for my pup! Very pleased and will hopefully be using in the future!”
“Was very punctual and respectful. Always great with response time and did so in a professional way. Was great with my cats and would highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Shelby tool care of our two cats while we were gone on vacation and she did a great job. She sent updates for everyday she checked in with our cats and she's very responsive and polite. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Presley and I had a bit of a hiccup to start so I was unsure how things would go this first time. Well, let assure you I had no need to worry, as she has proven to be a superior pet care provider. In the many years I have been using Rover.com to identify pet sitters, I have never known anyone to write up such informative, upbeat, thorough daily reports. These missives were a delight to receive. As a result, I always felt confident my Ali was being well cared for. Thank you, Presley!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, I’ve been a pet sitter for a very long time, I love love animals. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats myself and love them all dearly. I’m currently working in the mornings and I’m off on the weekends so I have the whole afternoon/weekends to play with pups/kitties. I will always make sure the doors are locked the animals can’t make an escape when I leave, and when we go on walks I’ll make sure to keep them leashed or play in the backyard with them
About: With 10+ years of hands-on pet care experience and over 6 years in pet-care management, I bring both expertise and genuine love to every furry friend I meet. From energetic pups to shy seniors, I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home ❤️ I work full time my work schedule during the week is typically Monday, Tuesday, Friday 6-2p. I am pretty open on Wednesdays with a little bit of notice! I can’t wait to meet your babies! 🐾 I live in an apartment with a large fenced in dog park right next to my building, and lots of sidewalks for more adventure! I have a large selection of toys to choose from as well! Of course, if I come to your home, I can tailor the itinerary to your pets’ desires!
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, medication administration, and providing extra support for older pets who need a slower pace or more attention. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a college student and work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I only have about one hour of class Monday through Thursday and work one to two days per week for several hours at a time. This allows me plenty of availability for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure pets receive consistent, attentive care and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and house rules, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide a clean, comfortable space. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal routine, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in East Ridge is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 806 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
