“We couldn't be any happier that we chose Christina and Brent to watch J. Walker. This was our first trip not taking him with us. Christina kept in touch over the stay. She even sent photos. J. Walker had so much fun playing with the other dogs. There is no doubt in our minds that we will take J.W. back. We trust Christina completely with our fur baby.”
“Alora was super great! My little old man had such a blast and is now pleasantly tired! She did well keeping me updated with lots of pictures! 10/10 Will be booking with her again!”
“My Bleu had a great time hanging with George and Ginger! He ran straight into their fenced in yard as soon as I let him out of the car and was exhausted when I got him home. He spent a long weekend with them while I went on a bike ride. I would definitely trust him to keep my boy anytime.”
“We are so grateful for Megan, Chris, and sweet Poppie! Libbie Lou has the best time every visit — playing on the bed, running around outside, and then cuddling up together. They treat her like family, and we travel with complete peace of mind knowing she’s so loved and well cared for. Truly the best! 🐾🤍”
“Brandi & her family took great care of my pup over the holidays! Brandi was very communicative, sent lots of photos and was accommodating when I had changes in booking dates/times. I’d be happy to reach out for boarding needs in the future !”
“I was worried the dogs wouldn't want to come home from all the pictures of them playing with the family dog the kids and themselves. So happy we found a place where I know they feel at home!!”
“Our dog loved staying with Rachel & her family!! So much so that he didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. 😂 Rachel was communicative and lovely and she took amazing care of our pup. We’re always a little anxious when we leave him, but it was clear from the many pictures and texts that he was well cared for, happy, and safe. We will absolutely be repeat clients.”
“Great home-away-from-home for our Corgi mix. Waffle had two other dogs to play with—one a full Corgi—and a little girl, and he loves children. Brooke was great at accommodating our furbaby’s separation anxiety and our cluelessness on his first time away from us, for a week! Will be back next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Echo is the best! Once again my dog had a wonderful stay with her family. This time we forgot to bring her dog food and Echo offered to give her dog food to our dog so we didn't have to drive back home to go get it. So nice! We are grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for our dog. I highly recommend her!”
“Crista and her husband are PHENOMENAL! My sweet boy is using shy around new people but I know he loved being with them. I’m thankful for all the updates they sent. And I have no doubt that they took incredible care of my sweet boy Ranger! 100/10 recommend!”
“Brittany was great! She provided me with photos and kept in communication with my kitties. I would recommend her services and will be using her again for further pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Kayley and her family were WONDERFUL with my dog's long weekend stay. He came home tired and happy and I know he enjoyed his time in their home and with their two friendly dogs. I will definitely reach out to Kayley again when in need of dog sitting. Thank you Kayley!”
“Excellent communication, comfortable, clean, and safe space! Destiny is exactly who we were looking for for our high-energy terrier. She was already familiar with the training tools and techniques we got from his trainers, and understood his breed characteristics & needs. She introduced him to her own pets intentionally, and by the time we picked him up, he was clearly comfortable and happy with her. So pleased to have someone knowledgeable who I can trust with our VERY terrier terrier.”
“Joseph was amazing taking care of Trixie, we recently got her, so he gave me a few tips on how to train her properly which I really appreciated. He is an excellent sitter and if I ever need to board Trixie again, I will definitely be asking him to take her again. He also sent daily updates with photos and videos and I really loved that because it lets me see from the distance that she is happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Melissa was so kind and welcoming! This was my first time using Rover and she made sure to treat Benji like her own and accommodated him perfectly. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to everyone!”
“Joslynne did an excellent job in watching my dog. She was very professional and she keep us in the loop. She also gave my dog treats. My dog was in heaven playing with her pack He was one tired puppy when he got home. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a fantastic sitter. Thank You!”
“Sonja and Yolanda are so friendly and accommodating! They were super easy to work with around my schedule- making drop off and pick up a breeze. I could tell Chloe pup really enjoyed her stay as well. I will definitely be using them again for future sitting needs!”

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.

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.
