“Mary and her husband Bob were so very wonderful for my little guy! My dog is an anxious little guy but was sleeping on Bob’s lap when I got there to pick him up. Seeing Graham “comfortable” enough to take a nap, made my Mama heart so happy. Mary sent numerous pictures and updates throughout the stay. Such a wonderful feeling to know your pup is well loved and taken care of of if you have to leave them.”

“My old guy loved staying with Melissa. After our initial meet-and-greet, he went straight up to Melissa and leaned against her for some love the morning I dropped him off. She is very attentive, easy to communicate with, and provides a great home for dogs. I 100% recommend Melissa if you need to find someone to watch your pup.”

They provided amazing care for her and kept us up to date with photos and videos the entire time. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time and I'm sure she would be thrilled to go back and see Carrie anytime!”

About: We have both grown up with dogs since birth! Our families have always owned them. <3 We have experience walking, bathing, feeding, & giving oral medications to dogs of all breeds, ages, & sizes. We have owned dogs with our families before marriage & have each dog sat for friends & family.🐶Avery has experience taking care of her family’s senior shitzu including taking him on walks in a doggie stroller, walks in grippy socks, & exercising him in a bathtub because it’s good for his joints. (: 🛁🐾 Layton is blessed to work from home so he is able to watch, hangout, & play with your fur baby all day! No need to worry about your pup having anxiety away from a human or being lonely. Avery gets home from grad school in the evenings. We are both home at night and on the weekends as well, we have very flexible schedules. We live in a dog friendly, gated apartment complex with a dog park, sidewalks, and lots of space so we can get our exercise in💪🐶🏃‍♀️. We do not own any pets so you do not have to worry about your dog getting along with another animal or vice versa. (: We do not own any crates and feel no need to, we love letting our previous pets and dogs we’ve sat for roam freely with us and get as many pets & scratches as they please. We allow dogs on our furniture, just let us know if they are prone to accidents/not fully potty trained. We can’t wait to make your fur baby feel right at home when you’re away!

About: My English Bulldog is my world. Anyone who knows me knows she’s spoiled, adored, and at the center of just about everything I do. She absolutely loves having canine friends around, and while I’m not quite ready to add another dog to our family permanently, I love the idea of giving her the occasional playmate. That’s what inspired me to join Rover. Because of that, my dog’s happiness and safety will always come first. I’m intentional about only accepting dogs who will be a good personality match for her. When the dogs genuinely enjoy each other, everyone has a better experience—including you, knowing your pup is having just as much fun as mine. I work full-time, so I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and date-night dog sitting. I’m not looking to build a large dog-sitting business—I’m simply hoping to create a safe, fun environment for a few wonderful dogs who become familiar faces. As a fellow dog parent, I’m also always searching for someone I trust to care for my own dog when we have plans or travel. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. That’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. While I welcome friendly dogs of all breeds, English Bulldogs will always have VIP status in my home. As a Bulldog mom myself, there’s just something special about the breed. I understand their unique personalities, quirks, and care needs. I work full-time, so my availability is primarily geared toward drop-in visits, evening care, weekend care, and date nights. My goal isn’t to become a full-time pet sitter—it’s to help fellow dog parents when they need someone they can trust while giving my own pup the opportunity to make some great canine friends. Your dog will be treated like one of the family while they’re in my home. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and play, and inside they’re welcome to relax on the furniture right alongside us (if that’s what they’re used to at home!). I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. Because my English Bulldog lives here too, I’ll only accept dogs who are a good personality match so everyone feels safe, comfortable, and has fun together. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with friends—not just being watched

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve had a Labrador Retriever, a Golden Retriever, and a cat, so I have personal experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services in my hometown, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving pets attention, and keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your furry family members like my own! I’m a full-time pet sitter available on weekends and weekdays after 3 PM. I love spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible and will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover and full-time pet sitter, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in loving and dependable hands.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for them. Over the past five years, I’ve trained two puppies for my family and regularly help care for the pets of friends and relatives. At home, I have two friendly dogs and two older children who are wonderful with animals. We live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks, with a nearby park for extra playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dogs and relaxing with them at home. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule with long breaks that allow me to give plenty of attention and care to the pets I watch. I truly look forward to meeting your furry family members and treating them like my own! I'm a teacher that has long breaks to be available for pet sitting during typical vacation times. We usually are up early for breakfast and morning playtime. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love other dogs. We enjoy playing out in the yard but also snuggling on the couch.

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 Garland 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 Garland.

<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 Garland 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.
