“Danielle provided detailed follow-up and sent great pictures. She took extra care to make sure each of our cats were fed and taken care of, even when they were shy. We'd certainly book with her again.”
“Lauren was unbelievably kind and so professional! Each visit was prompt and gave us reassurance that our boys were taken care of. We are so grateful we found Lauren and will forever be using her services for our boys!”
“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”
“We recently booked Pam to do drop-in visits for our cat while out of town. She made sure to send pics of the visits and communicate daily. Also, Pam went above and beyond to let us know there was an issue with our HVAC system at the house she noticed during one of her daily visits. We highly recommend booking Pam to take care of your pets!”
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to four amazing dogs—one who has been with me for 14 years and three proud foster “wins.” Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication management, fearful or anxious pups, high-energy players, and sweet couch-loving companions. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to meet them where they are—whether that means a calm, reassuring walk, energetic playtime, or extra patience and gentle care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I am shifting to part-time work and will be flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m an early riser, ideal for morning walks, feedings, and medications. I offer walks, drop-ins, and longer visits, and I’m experienced with senior dogs, anxious pups, and energetic walkers. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including walks, feedings, medications, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust my care for older pets, dogs who need extra reassurance, and dogs who enjoy longer or more active walks. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Terezie took such good care of our animals and provided updates and photos for every check in. Making our trip worry free :) We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Skylar has watched our cats multiple times and has always been very reliable, which I appreciate. She takes great care of the cats which makes me feel much better about leaving our kitties for vacations.”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! ❤️”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
About: Hello! My name is Katlyn. With 10+ years in veterinary medicine, I know dogs inside and out! Whether it’s zoomies or slow strolls, I make sure every walk is safe, happy, and full of wag-worthy moments. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, so nothing fazes me. Your dog gets more than just exercise; they get a buddy who knows how to keep tails wagging. I’m available 3-4 days a week to help care for your baby! When I’m not working to help animals find new homes, I would love to be taking care of your pet in your home. I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule or routine that my clients have set for their pets. I’m experienced with administering medication in any form and will never rush your dog through potty breaks, meals, or play time.
“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: 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.
About: I love dogs. More importantly, dogs love me. Just know that I will be pouring my love into your furry friends as they wait for your return to them. I am an author currently work from home and have very flexible hours seven days a week so I will have plenty of time to love your furry friends I currently only accept jobs that are in the owners home and believe it is the best and most stress free experience for your furry friends.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in East Ridge is $20

We are so thankful to Abby for taking care of Daisy aka Kitoni. Abby was communicative and always there when she said she would be. She has helped us in the past and is a big reason we were able to take our family trip this year. Also she will spoil your pet (in a good way)!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Ridge on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 839 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Ridge. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
