“Jonathan kept my dog really well. We went away for 20 days, and I always felt confident that Watson was well looked after. When I picked my dog up he couldn't believe I still existed. He'd completely adjusted to his new life;) We'll happily use Jonathan again, and I'd recommend him to anyone.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has grown into both a passion and a profession. I have 5+ years of experience with pets, including professional pet care, dog training, puppy socialization, and caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I use positive reinforcement and a patient, individualized approach to help animals feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training, and attentive care for pets of different ages. I also have experience working with children, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and creativity to everything I do. My goal is always to make families feel confident that their loved ones are in caring, capable hands. I have a flexible schedule and work well from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a routine that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. As an experienced pet caregiver and dog trainer, I understand the importance of supervision, secure environments, and respecting each animal’s individual boundaries. I use positive reinforcement rather than punishment and am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, crate routines, introductions, and any special needs. I’ll treat your home and your pet with care and respect.
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Taylor [& her husband] were amazing! They took such great care of my dog / 2-year-old puppy! And their dog Maggie was lovely too. I know Archie had a fabulous time as after I picked him up in the morning - he literally napped all day! I will definitely have Archie stay with them again!”
“This was our first time leaving our Maltipoo Bliss anywhere and it turned out to be a great experience for all. Bliss thoroughly enjoyed her stay and Bethani's wonderful kids. Looking forward to more trips or short vacations without the dog!”
“Angela was wonderful with our babies. She kept us well looped in while we were out of the country. Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way). The initial meeting went well, loved the fact her yard is fenced in. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for their kids.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hixson
Maria went above and beyond when she recently boarded our dog, Koah, for two weeks. Her home is tidy, comfortable and quiet, all the things our anxious doggy needs. For the first few days of the boarding, Maria stayed nearby so that Koah had an easier transition to a new place. While away, we received numerous photos each day as well as consistent updates on how Koah was doing and any other relevant updates. She even went out of her way to buy Koah an additional chew toy and treat! We cannot recommend Maria enough if you're looking for a dog sitter or dog boarder who is genuinely a dog lover and will treat your dog like her own. We will certainly be booking with Maria again for future needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hixson is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 333 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hixson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Hixson 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 Hixson 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 Hixson.
<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 Hixson 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.
