“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”
“Susan was great! We arranged the visit in less than 24 hours. She communicated quickly and confirmed after asking/answering all the right questions. She arrived promptly at the agreed upon time. She sent me photos while visiting with our pup too. I would absolutely use Susan again!”
“Cara did an amazing job. Our one dog was very upset we left and he's older so he his set in his ways. Cara was very careful how she handled him. Very impressed with her”
About: I have two dogs of my own, a sweet 12-year-old Yorkie mix and a 1-year-old Maltipoo, so I know firsthand how different each pet’s needs can be. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors, from senior dogs who need a slower pace to energetic puppies who love long walks and playtime. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own!!😋🐶 Even with being in college and working part-time in the mornings, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for pet care. I’m free most afternoons, as well as all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I love spending my free time around animals, so fitting pet care into my routine is easy and enjoyable for me. At my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a cozy place to relax. Since I already care for my two dogs, I’m comfortable juggling walks, meals, and one-on-one time throughout the day.
“Leslie agreed to meet the dogs before her first visit and is very understanding of their different needs. She gave them more time to play than I expected and was patient with my fearful dog. Thank you!”
“I was really worried when I had to find someone to care for my cat, Pippin, last minute but Ami was quick to respond and was an amazing help. And Pippin really seemed enjoyed the attention that she gave him.”
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“We found Jen only the day before we needed someone to check on our pup. She was very quick to respond and communicated well with us. She confirmed she could get to our rental cabin before committing. She sent pictures of the time she spent with him. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter who has cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve helped take care of many animals over the years and am comfortable with feeding schedules, bathing, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I work part time so it’s easy to book with me for bathing, drop-ins, dog sitting, dog day care. Please note I do not trim animal hair. My schedule is pretty flexible: 9am-7pm/Monday-Friday. I travel to owners home, I try not to bring other animals to my home due to me having very energetic dogs that don’t get along well with others.
About: Dogs have been a part of me since I was born. I have over 25 years of experience with many breeds, from pups to senior dogs. I’ve dealt with many issues relating to health, nutrition, surgeries (recovery), cancer treatments and more. Dogs generally gravitate to me and I’ve been blessed with their unconditional love my entire life. It truly is my passion to help you in any way I can with your special family member. I look forward to meeting you and your Dog! I’m currently available 7 days a week, 6am to 10pm for walking, playing, feeding, to give medications, etc. Also available to house/pet-sit overnight and extended stays while you travel. I’m a firm believer in caring for your dog in their own environment. It’s less stress for your pet. I follow your pets routine per your instructions. In certain situations, I will consider taking a pet in to my home for care if needed, tho prefer coming to you. I’m also available to travel world-wide with you and your pet if needed. Think of me as your Dog’s PA. I am available during the week and weekends from 8am-8pm. Flexible with pick-up and drop-off times as your schedule may change. My clients are mostly from out-of-town and here to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains! I’m here for your pet so you can enjoy the best Gatlinburg and surrounding areas has to offer. Flexible with switching dates, days and times, ALWAYS. I am always 100% focused on giving your Pet(s) my full attention: exercising, playing,feeding, walking, cuddling, light grooming: brushing, wiping down after walks, and Spalon Message.
About: I will give your dog the attention they need while either here for doggie daycare or over night stays you furry baby will be well taken care of while on my watch! I have a fully remote position! I am always home and willing to board or watch your furry baby for the day and I will make sure they are well cared for while under my watch! I hold the utmost respect for my own as much as yours! I would make sure your furry baby is taken care of as well as your property if house/pet sitting!
“Janine was wonderful and super flexible to offer drop-in visits to our pups in our AirB&B while our family had a day exploring non dog-friendly trails. She sent plenty of pics and notes and the dogs were much happier when we returned.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! We’ve always had a family dog…from Boxers, to Dachshunds, and tiny Yorkies too! There’s nothing better than sweet snuggles and fun with the pups! I’m also a “Dog Aunt” to my brother and sister-in-laws 5 awesome pups-Walker (Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix), Max & Marley (brother+sister litter mate Australian Shepards), Merritt (Standard Poodle), and Mavis (Cockapoo)! From tiny to large pups, I love them all!! I’m a full-time Respiratory Therapist and absolutely love what I do! I’d love to be able to spend some time with some awesome doggies in my free time and on off days! :) I have a fenced in yard at my house with plenty of room for the babies to run! I have a 2 year old Yorkie Poo as well as a 12 year old Mini Dachshund!
About: I grew up with yorkies and love spending time with my families black lab! I’ve done a great job at walking, feeding and bathing these pups, and I hope to make them feel loved and safe. I have a full-time job, and want to extend my services since I enjoy taking walks/hikes in the national park and surround areas after work and on weekends. I am great with instructions and being quick to take action and stay on top of things. I believe in leaving places better than you found them, and being extremely attentive and caring.

Susan is absolutely wonderful! We were visiting from out of town and she came by to let our dog out and feed her during one of our longer days out. She showed up promptly and shared pictures and information about her visit, and made me feel at ease that my dog was being cared for while our family was visiting Dollywood. Thank you Susan!

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 Gatlinburg 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
