“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.”
“Addisen was great. It was not ideal to leave my shy cat but she took time with him, and kept me updated. She even brought in a delivery or two that came while I was gone.”
About: I provide dependable, personalized dog walking and drop in care for pet parents who want to know their animals are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a calm potty break, companionship, playtime, or a little extra patience, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs. I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and help your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology, as well as being Pet CPR/First Aid Certified and Fear Free Certified. I bring both knowledge and genuine care to every visit, with a commitment to providing thoughtful, respectful care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. You can expect reliable communication, visit updates, and photos so you can enjoy greater peace of mind throughout the day. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet and become someone you can confidently rely on for walks and drop in visits. I’m currently available on weekdays and weekends, including early mornings. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate regular visits, walks, and drop-in care as needed. I care for your pets in their own homes, where they can remain comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any household routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I let them set the pace. Some pets want lots of affection and interaction, while others need patience, quiet companionship, and space to warm up. My goal is to provide calm, dependable, and personalized care while keeping you updated with photos and visit notes for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and am my friends and families go-to dog sitter! Since starting Rover I have had the pleasure of meeting many new friends and establishing multiple returning clients and 5 star reviews. I have experience with multiple breeds and the variety of needs that come with that. I am a dog lover through and through. I genuinely care about the well being of all pets and will make sure any pet in my care is looked after like they were my own. I am home most of the time with my daughter and 6 year old cavapoo. I can be available whenever needed. Flexible schedule, reliable and trustworthy. I have a yard with a fence and also love to take dogs on walks. My cavapoo is an inside dog but we go for at least 2-3 walks a day.
About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.
About: I was a vet tech for 6 years. I know where dogs and cats like to be scratched and I am happy to provide scratching! I recently moved here and am semi retired. I love animals but my family member's are allergic to them. Coming to your home your pets will get my full attention and be happy as my fur fix! In coming to your home I will take care of all your pets needs whether picking up poop or scooping a box, feeding, walking, playing, and brushing. Happily wearing each other out with love and attention!
“Hailee is so great with our two kittles! She is communicative and responsible, and our cats always look forward to seeing her. Plus, she sends great photos and descriptions each visit. Will always trust her to take care of them while we are away!”
“Anna was excellent at communicating updates from her drop in visits while we were out of town. We came home to a very happy cat and we appreciate Anna taking such great care of him.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This is the second booking that I’ve had with Kari and will continue to book if she’s available. She’s fantastic, has great communication and is proactive. I refer to her as Aunt Kari to the cats. ♥️”
About: Hi! My name is Catherine, but I go by Victoria. Most people call me Victoria. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and helping family and friends with their pets. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Although I’m located outside the city, I regularly travel into Chattanooga for pet sitting and walks. I currently work a part-time job and usually have about three days off each week. I also do DoorDash, which allows me to choose my own schedule. This gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for pets. I love animals and would be happy to help take care of yours. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. I follow all instructions given by the owner, including feeding, walking, medications, and routines. I treat every home with respect and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“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.”
About: As an animal lover myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while away. I pride myself in being responsible and reliable, and I care for each animal as I would my own. Hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! Pet sitting is currently my only work obligation, but I don’t necessarily see it as work. It’s more so doing something I love while being able to make extra income while doing it. I currently do not have any pets in my home, but the two dogs I did own were both indoor dogs that I would take outside to help release energy. I show them attention and affection. I do not just feed and water them. I go beyond meeting their basic needs. I like to ensure pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need, along with a little extra love through pets.
“James did a great job caring for our cat Oliver while we weee out of town. He is great at communicating everyday and keeping you informed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with James again when needed.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and dog trainers. I’ve had cats my entire life. I work from home and live alone with 3 rescue dogs and two rescue cats. I own two Shih Tzus and one service dog that is a Schnauzer. All of my pets are dog and cat friendly. I own my own home, extra crates of all sizes for those that need crates. I have extra fences for inside and outside the home if someone doesn’t like to mingle. My fur babies are family and I’ll treat yours the same. I work from home 100% of the time. I have breaks on the hour for potty breaks and to go walk and care for your fur babies locally. I live alone with my rescues and my fur babies are my life. I work as a Professional Counselor and have a secondary Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. I was raised with a professional dog trainer and have a lifetime of experience. I have a fenced yard with extra barriers to keep everyone safe. My dogs are very friendly and playful and will keep your babies entertained. All of my animals are spayed or neutered with up to date full vaccinations and monthly plans with Banfield to keep them healthy. I have experience giving meds and giving subcutaneous fluids via IV if needed. Elderly and puppies always welcome. I can assist with potty training if needed.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Ridge
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! :)

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
