“Heather was wonderful with our girls. We have a reactive pup and she worked so well with her. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying. Would absolutely rebook with Heather. Glad we found her!!!”
“We had Melanie keep our little man for the first time while we were out of town for 7 days. She sent us several pictures every day with an update on his wellbeing. The peace of mind we had while away was immeasurable and we cannot thank Melanie enough for taking wonderful care of our sweet baby! 🐾 Thank you again! 🩷🐾”
“Deborah was beyond phenomenal. I received multiple pictures and detailed updates every day my sweet Elle was away from home. I felt so relieved and there was no stress at all with Elle in her care. She is attentive to my dog and her dogs playing and is very consistent with commands when feeding and playing. She even brought the pups inside for rest breaks so they wouldn’t overheat. I will book every time I can with Deborah. 6 out of 5 stars.”
About: I've had my two dogs since they were puppies and they are now 7 years old. My Ella had puppies a few years ago so I have experience with all age ranges of dogs. I currently work part-time on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays nights. I'm currently pregnant so I plan to take this on full time and quit my current part job. I have a pretty big yard and I'm in a very calm and quiet neighborhood. I have two fur babies that would love to keep your dog company. I do own a large dog crate if it is needed. My home is animal friendly since I have dogs already.
“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Cosmo loved his stay at Becky's. He was so happy when I picked him up after our vacation. She sent me pictures of him romping and playing in her yard and I could tell that he was having a great stay.”
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can use: Hanna took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was loved, well cared for, and happy the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Hanna”
“Keith is awesome, my pup loves going to his Spa and spending the weekend there. She comes home nice and clean and she is always a happy camper. I can’t say enough good things about him but I appreciate him and he’s a great communicator with plenty of pictures and videos during the stay!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 24 years old and I like to give them an amazing experience. I can be very careful with old age. They always have their special time for each one. Dedicate myself 100% to take care of them and I do it with a lot of dedication and patience. I have enough time for them to never feel alone. I have a fenced garden and two little social dogs if you like me to have friends, I live in a farm and I will never be bored.
About: I grew up in a vet clinic having a father as a Veterinarian calling it my home away from home. I chose to stay in the animal field with the passion I have for animals and be that person that owners can trust when they leave their animals and have a peace of mind.I have tons of vet tech experience. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 sons,Beckett and Brooks,4 cats, and a dog.We are all enjoying summer at the house with tons of free time , so watching after animals will fit into my schedule perfectly. I have a fenced in back yard and let them out very frequently, several times during the day and of course first thing in the morning and right before bedtime.My house is very clean and there’s plenty of space for your pet.I will follow any instructions you leave me whether it’s feeding or medication.When they are at my home they are considered family.They can free roam, sleep in the bed with me, get on the couch, the whole point is I want them to feel comfortable and have fun!!
“100% trust Jenny with our fur-kids. She is so easy to work and communicate with. She gives our dogs as much attention if not more than we do. She sends daily updates so there’s never a question of how our dogs are doing. Will be using her again!”
About: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.
“Sidney takes such good care of Charlie, it gives us peace of mind. He gets plenty of outdoor time in her big back yard and he enjoys the company of her dog. We will definitely check with her first the next time we have to board Charlie!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elkton home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Elkton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Elkton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
