“Michaela was such a great sitter for Pei and Miso this week! From the initial meet and greet through the updates while I was away to quickly gaining the trust of my pets, I couldn’t have been happier with Michaela’s care of my fur kiddos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Five stars, without hesitation! Thank you so much, Madelyn, for staying with Lola while I was traveling! I came home to find everything exactly as I left it, and Lola was clearly happy and well cared for. I have zero complaints and nothing but gratitude. It's such a relief to leave your baby with someone you can trust, and Madelyn made that easy. I'd recommend Madelyn to any pet parent looking for a sitter while they're away. Thank you again. I'd book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Stephanie did a great job of taking care of Carmen. She kept me Informed each day with a picture and a message . She left my house clean and even emptied my dishes from the dishwasher and threw her bedding and sheets in the laundry before she left . She also let me know when Carmen was stressed from our contractors noice and reached out as to how to help calm her . I will have her come back to help when we have to leave her behind.”
“Michelle house sat for a week while we went on a beach vacation and was fantastic. She sent pictures and videos every day of our dachshund Banjo and checked in every night to tell me how his day went. Even our neighbors raved about how attentive she was in the backyard with Banjo always giving him pets and playing fetch. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“Katelyn is so sweet! Our senior dog loved spending time with her over the holiday weekend while we were gone. It is such a load off knowing that someone is taking care of our beloved pets.”
“I’m really happy that I found Julie. She came to my house and stayed with my dogs, and obviously loves animals. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. The dogs did great with her. I would trust her to watch my animals anytime.”
“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”
About: I provide dependable drop-ins and walks for dogs of all ages. I’m attentive, patient, and focused on maintaining each dog’s routine. I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, senior care, and administering oral medications. My goal is always to keep dogs safe, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away. work a full-time job, but I’m flexible and plan my schedule carefully to accommodate drop-ins and walks. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m often able to adjust visit times when needed. I understand that plans can change, and I do my best to be accommodating while keeping visits consistent and dependable. I communicate clearly about availability and always confirm details ahead of time so you know when to expect me. I care for dogs in their own home and on familiar walking routes. I follow instructions carefully, prioritize leash safety, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I provide visit updates so owners always know their dog is safe and cared for.
About: Hello, my name is Anna! I am a registered nurse in Chattanooga. With my extra time, I would love to help take care of animals in our community while their parents are away. I have worked and volunteered with animals for years. Shoot me a message and we can get to know each other! I work Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm and have free time on most Saturdays and Sunday's. During the week I could do check-ins at 6am or after 5:45 pm. I am available many weekends. Our family has loved many cats over the years, and our latest kitty required fluid injections every other day and medications and ear ointment. I am used to providing detailed care and lots of love and play too. I am very organized, and that has been useful when pet sitting.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.
About: While traveling, I completed approximately 20 house and pet sits through TrustedHousesitters, including several repeat sits. Now that I’m spending more time at home in Chattanooga, I’m bringing that experience to local pet owners through Rover. I also had a high-energy Springer Spaniel of my own, so I understand both the daily needs of an active dog and how much trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else’s care. To me, excellent pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s noticing the little things, respecting each pet’s routine, communicating consistently, and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a range of personalities, from affectionate and easygoing pets to more apprehensive dogs who needed patience and careful handling. I ask thoughtful questions about each animal’s temperament, routines, walking needs, triggers, and boundaries so I can care for them as individuals. I’m also comfortable administering straightforward medications, including pills for dogs and cats. Past pet owners consistently mention my reliability, communication, cleanliness, and the happy pets they return home to. I send regular photos or videos, keep owners informed if anything unusual arises, and use good judgment when handling minor issues. As a homeowner and short-term-rental host myself, I also understand the responsibility involved in caring for someone’s property. I keep the home tidy, care for plants and other agreed-upon household needs, and aim to leave everything at least as well as I found it. In addition to dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, a rabbit, and a parrot. I have an active but flexible schedule and am best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone for ordinary stretches during the day. Depending on the season and my schedule, I may occasionally be away for up to 6–8 hours. I’ll always discuss your pet’s normal routine and maximum comfortable alone time before accepting a booking. Pets requiring frequent daytime attention or near-constant supervision may sometimes be accommodated through a customized care arrangement. I currently offer overnight care exclusively in the pet’s own home, allowing your animals to remain in the familiar environment where they feel safest. For first-time clients, I prefer an in-home meet-and-greet before confirming the booking. This gives me an opportunity to meet your pets, understand their routine, and make sure the arrangement feels comfortable for everyone. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and return to relaxed, well-cared-for pets and a clean, peaceful home. I have a flexible schedule rather than a traditional set workday. I do much of my work from my laptop and otherwise divide my time among the gym, managing my nearby Airbnb, and rock climbing. On Airbnb turnover days, I may be cleaning between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. My outdoor climbing schedule varies by season: at certain times of year I may climb three or four days per week, while at other times I stay closer to town, take shorter outings, focus on indoor training, or climb very little. Before accepting any booking, I consider the pet’s routine, how long they can comfortably be left alone, my expected schedule, and the travel time involved in my plans. If I cannot reliably meet your pet’s needs, I simply won’t accept the booking. Once I commit to a sit, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure their required care fits my schedule. At this time, I offer care exclusively in the pet parent’s home, where pets can remain in familiar surroundings and follow their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, doors and gates, outdoor access, and any household-specific safety concerns. Because I will be living and sleeping in the home, I accept bookings in reasonably clean, safe, non-smoking homes with functioning utilities and a comfortable sleeping space. Your home certainly does not need to be spotless, but it should be generally tidy and free from excessive clutter or conditions that would make an overnight stay uncomfortable or unsafe.
About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I am a college student that is home for the summer working and internship! My schedule is somewhat flexible but on my work days they run pretty long. Dog walking in the morning or early afternoon is something that would work with my schedule. Any house sitting needs work during the week, and can be a little different on the weekend but it can still work! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!
“Kyle was great! He took such good care of our two dogs, taking them on multiple walks a day and giving them tons of affection while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of our home, even washing and changing the guest room sheets before we returned. We definitely will use his services again. We highly recommend him.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Georgetown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Georgetown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Georgetown 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
