“Jessica continues to ‘knock it out of the park’!! Our schedule became very dynamic the day prior to our drop off and Jessica was able to adjust her schedule to accommodate our boy coming early. Sounds like Sully even managed to sit in on a math class and maybe geography as well. Sully always come home a more rounded member of the pack for sure. Thank you so much Jessica!”

About: I am a proud dog mom of a 9 year old pit mix and a 4y old beagle mix. I've dog sit for all my friends for years. I've fostered several dogs and still volunteer every week at the local shelter, so I am comfortable with most breeds and sizes. All small to large breeds are welcome as long as they are friendly and potty trained. I can work remote and can have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend the first few days with a new dog to help get them adjusted to a new place, understand their routine and their needs until they feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs that can show them around. Also have a doggy door so your furry can have free acces to go outside and sunbathe on the couch, potty or run around and explore.

Becky let me come over for a meet and greet, was very flexible with my schedule and kept me updated with pictures and videos all throughout the day. It was very apparent that Baylee felt comfortable and was happy to be at Becky’s house. Thank you SO much Becky for making this a great experience! Will definitely be using you again! ❤️”

Truly cannot say enough good things about Melanie! She has a fantastic setup for all furry friends to have their own space, or to roam the fenced-in yard via the doggy door. But not only that, she is also very flexible and communicative, always sends the best pictures and videos, and we can really tell that she cares about and is so sweet to our Sasha girl which is the most important of all! Her own pups Buster and Jen are just the icing on the cake, and by how excited Sasha gets we know that whenever she goes to visit, she really is just part of the whole pack that is Melanie’s wonderful little family.

This was our first time using Rover and we had the best experience with Melanie! She is very accommodating and sent pictures and videos while we were away. Our dog Daisy had the best time playing with her dogs and using the doggie doors. Melanie took great care of Daisy and we highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Friendsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 386 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Friendsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

94% of sitters in Friendsville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Friendsville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Friendsville.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendsville. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

You and your Friendsville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
