“Lindsay was amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty (who gets very lonely when we are gone), sometimes hanging out with him for longer than the booked 30 minute visits. He immediately connected with her and was snuggling on the couch with her within days (he doesn’t do that for everyone). Lindsay was also super observant and attentive. I would definitely book her to watch our little guy again!”

“Sarah has been absolutely amazing to work with!! She is very responsive, punctual, and keeps me updated with each check-in visit. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my furry children are in such great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dependable and caring pet care!”

“Kristin is wonderful! Communicative, reliable, and shares little tid bits about our kitty’s general demeanor when she drops in. She always gets great photos of him playing! We super appreciate her.”

“Avery has been AWESOME!!! I have three DIFFICULT cats. One was diagnosed with FIP a month ago and he needs life-saving meds at the same time every day. On top of that, he is TERRIFIED of everyone except for me. My other two are also scaredy cats. Avery was able to work with all three cats, made sure my sick kitty got his meds every night (even though he refused to come out of hiding!!!), befriended the two shy kitties (including the spicy one!!!) Avery made sure to check in with me each day- before, during and after every visit! I am also a pet/house sitter so I'm picky and particular, especially with my own cats being SO tricky, and I'd give Avery a 10/10! Already have future petsitting dates requested! Thank you SO much, Avery!!! 🫶🏼”

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.
“Carrie was great with our mother and daughter shih-poos, including her flexibility with their special feeding requirements. The dogs loved her hour-long visits and her loving care!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 treat every pet like they’re my own, and I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. With years of hands on experience caring for a variety of dogs and cats, I’m confident in handling everything from high energy pups to shy or anxious pets who need a gentle touch. I currently work at a hair salon part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for evening visits, overnight care, and nighttime routines, and I can easily check in on pets during the day between clients. My job allows me to step out for drop-ins, walks, or feeding breaks, so your pet will never go long without attention. Because my schedule is consistent and flexible, I’m able to keep pets on their normal routine, whether that means midday potty breaks, after-work walks, or lots of evening snuggles. I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, exercise, and check-ins throughout the day. If you need someone reliable who can be there morning, midday, and night, I’ve got you covered! I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved, no matter which service you book. I adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. 🏠 Drop-In Visits During drop-ins, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule. I handle feeding, fresh water, medication (if needed), potty breaks, and playtime. I always take a few minutes to give them attention and comfort, so they don’t feel lonely between visits. You’ll receive photo and video updates every time I’m there. 🚶♀️ Dog Walks Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level whether they need a relaxing stroll, a good-paced walk, or extra sniff time. I make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need to feel content and calm afterward. Safety is my priority, so I keep a close eye on traffic, sidewalks, and other dogs during our walk. 🐶 Boarding in My Home When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and snuggles. I keep them on their regular feeding and potty schedule, and I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax. I only take pets I can safely manage, so each one gets lots of personal attention. 🏡 House Sitting in Your Home For house sitting, I make sure your pet is comfortable by staying in their familiar space. I follow your routines exactly meal times, walks, bedtime habits, crate routines, and any other special instructions. I also keep your home tidy, bring in mail/packages, and make sure everything is secure. Your pet gets constant companionship, which is especially helpful for anxious pets or those who need extra attention.
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: 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.

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 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. ♥️”

“My first time using Rover. Luckily I picked Grace. She was great about checking in with me for any instructions or extra tips on my pet Kitty. She sent 3 pictures from her visit/ check in with Kitty. I felt comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. Will definitely use service again!”

“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”

About: I have always been fascinated with animals and even planned on studying veterinary medicine! Life took a different route, but my love of all things furry stuck around. I have experience with animals of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and health. I have trained puppies, worked with senior animals, and have administered pet medication. I am in Chattanooga during the school year, and in Nashville for summer and holidays! I am an active college student, but am super flexible in the evenings, especially for housesitting. I have a super flexible schedule for taking care of your fur babies! I am available anytime before and after classes (roughly a 9am-3pm schedule), but I prefer afternoons-late nights for drop-ins. Weekends are completely available. I have experience with crates, leashes, and fenced yards- so I’m ready for whatever! I’ve also had my share of anxious, panicked, and even hyper dogs, so I know how to listen to their wants and needs. Rescue dogs and cats are my specialty, and I understand they need more patience and understanding when necessary.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in East Ridge is $20

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!

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.

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.

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.
