“Crista was really good with out three babies. They enjoyed their time with her and were well loved while we were gone. Would definitely use her again! So glad to have found her!”
“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.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! ❤️”
“Gabby is fantastic! I have a very shy dog and she did amazing with her! Appreciated the help last minute and over a holiday weekend! Just the best and her daughter is adorable and a great helper too! Highly recommend 😊”
“Skylar was so great with my three cats over the week that I was gone! My boys can be a bit rowdy and have some special needs, but she handled them perfectly and even sent me cute photos of them throughout the period. I will definitely choose Skylar again the next time I'm out of town :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 40 years on and off as people need me. I started with friends for free! I've volunteered at a local animal shelter. I've adopted dogs and 2 cats from local shelters. I took in my uncle's dog after he could no longer care for him. I've rescued dogs off the streets and taken them to local low-kill shelters! I actually love dogs and will greet them on the street before ever saying hi to their owners. I need to do better at that. Your dog will be cared for and looked after. I let them out 6-8 times a day in the fenced-in backyard Saturday-Monday. I am at work 4 days a week for 4 hours each day. So that is the longest they are left in the house. I have a housemate who loves dogs and helps take them outside as well. I enjoy them hanging around with me. If your pet needs to be in a crate at night, no problem. I have a large crate so you don't have to lug one around. If they don't need a crate, they are welcome to join my dog and me in my bed. If I have more than 2 visiting dogs, we all sleep on my 3 couches. Everyone gets their own space, even me! I also sit for friends, and most of my clients are by word of mouth, so they won't be listed on my Rover calendar. For example: Summer 2026: I've watched 5 visiting guest dogs. I'm getting 2 more in October. I have one dog of my own. I have one pretty mellow dog and one cat that likes dogs. My dog gets treats when I leave the house once or twice a day. Water bowls are always full. Dogs hang out wherever I am. If I am in my bedroom, the door is always open, they can come in. If I'm in the kitchen or living room or out back in the fenced yard, they are always welcome to be where I am. I have a secure, fenced-in backyard. I let the dogs go out as long as they want to be out. Usually, they don't want to come right in. I sit with them sometimes, or play ball and brush them. They are kept inside the house at night and most of the day, except for potty breaks. We are more careful in the summer heat, even though they seem to like being out there.
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
“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.”
About: Kept owners updated with daily messages, photos, and behavior notes,Passionate about feline well-being; treat every pet as if they were my own. Would love to meet ya soon! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. While I do work full time, I finish work at 4:00 PM, which allows me to dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet care 🐾. On weekdays, I’m available after work for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Evenings are focused on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get their potty breaks, and have time to relax and feel comfortable. On weekends and days off, I have more flexibility for longer visits, extended walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule carefully so pets always receive consistent, reliable care and never feel rushed. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for—no matter how busy my week is. 💕🐶🐱 In my client’s home: Following the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible Feeding, walks, litter box or potty clean-ups as instructed Playtime, exercise, and companionship Administering medications if needed Keeping the home tidy and secure while you’re away No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. 💕
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’m available for pet care during the hours listed on my schedule. I’m available in the mornings and have a consistent weekly routine. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I’m available from 6 AM to 11 AM. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m available from 6 AM to 10 AM. These are the hours I’m available to provide reliable and attentive care for pets. 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 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.
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.

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 Fort Oglethorpe 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 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 .
