“Rachel is a great sitter. I left my pup with her on two occasions - once for a weekend and another for an 8 day trip. She did an amazing job with her and I could tell my dog had a great time. She sends daily updates and photos which is greatly appreciated. More importantly Rachel is super understanding and was able to be flexible with me when my return flight was delayed and cancelled. I will definitely keep using her as my sitter anytime we go out of town - 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tish was awesome! I was in town for 1 night and she was super accommodating and was able to board my boy Zeus on short notice! Communicate was great. I would highly recommend Tish to anyone! I will definitely use her again if I’m in the area again.”
“Christina and her family were the best folks to watch my dog. They sent multiple photos daily and always let me know how he was doing. I’m very grateful for the amazing care he got while my baby was with them.”
“There's no better place than Álora's home. I felt good and at peace leaving my little one there. I know he enjoyed the atmosphere she creates through her personality. Now we know we've found a safe and trustworthy place. I'm sure my little Ollie enjoyed it immensely. We got the impression that they treated him like one of the family, and that says more than a thousand words.”
“Brooke was great watching my little friend. The home had a spacious backyard which was perfect for running zoomies. Tonalli felt right at home which doesn’t always happen so quickly. I will definitely be reaching back out to Brooke next time I have to travel.”
“We loved Brandi and her family!! Rye was very well taken care of and I’m so happy Brandi and her family watched her for us on our wedding weekend. Rye had so much fun she didn’t want to leave!”
“George and his wife were excellent! Great communication, and they even graciously let us book an additional night when we decided to extend our trip. We will definitely request for our pup to stay with them again when we’re in the Chattanooga area!”
“Kayley and her family are amazing! My boy had such a nice time there and I felt totally comfortable leaving him for a few days knowing he was in good hands. She sent multiple photos over his stay and was in great communication through the whole process! Will definitely be sending him back for another fun stay in the future.”
“Joslynne took great care of my fur baby! She was easy to work with, accommodating, and communicative. She even sent me pics of Lola while we were apart. Highly recommend! Will be a repeat customer 😊”
“Joseph was the most professional Rover sitter we’ve had to date! He was great at communicating, provided tons of pictures, and even accepted our very last minute request. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Joseph was very communicative and took great care of camper! I received photos of camper multiple times a day and felt like camper was in great hands. Definitely recommend!”
“Destiny was fantastic! Communication was great, and we got daily updates/pictures of our dog. We were confident our pup was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be using her again 😊.”
“Cristina is great. We’ve let our dog with her multiple times and she communicates well by sending us pics and is flexible. Our dog loves to go and play there. Would highly recommend”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“I would recommend Carrie. She was great at communicating and sharing updates about our dog,Winnie’s, visit. Carie made Winnie feel right at home from the first moment of meeting her. Winnie had a great week with Carrie!”

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 for Dog Boarding in Hixson on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 343 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
84% of Hixson sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Hixson landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hixson 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 Hixson.
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.
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 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.
