“Another great stay with Megan! I was updated several times a day on how my girls were doing. I got photos along with an update. Definitely recommend Megan and Chris.”
“Amazing sitter!! Communication was easy and Penelope was so at ease under her care! I had a great experience and I know Penelope did too! It’s so nice to know that she’s not anxious while I’m away!”
“Brandi took such wonderful care of my girl Roxy! I loved that she gave me detailed updates on how Roxy was doing and pics showing me how she spent her day. I highly recommend Brandi!”
“Patty was absolutely wonderful! She was so caring, kind, and communicative throughout my cat’s stay, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated and made it clear that my cat was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. Most importantly, my cat (Lincoln) absolutely loved Patty! It’s easy to see how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I would trust Patty again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Destiny highly enough. From the moment I first met her, I could immediately tell she had a warm, gentle, and genuinely kind spirit—the exact calm, reassuring energy I knew my anxious dog needed. Leaving a nervous pet in someone else’s care is never easy, but Destiny put all my worries to rest right away. She has an intuitive, patient approach to animals, understanding how to meet them at their own pace without pushing boundaries. Under her watchful and affectionate care, my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and settled. Destiny is dependable, communicative, and truly attentive to every little routine and detail. It is rare to find someone who combines true professionalism with such heartfelt compassion. Anyone would be extraordinarily lucky to have Destiny care for their four-legged family member, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cody was very welcoming to us and caring of our dogs and their peculiarities and physical signs of distress. She was accommodating of the uncertainties of our stay in her area due to my husband's hospitalization.”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Pam took wonderful care of my dog, Loui! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a true dog lover, and Loui warmed up to her immediately. Throughout Loui’s stay, Pam kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. When I picked Loui up, he was happy, well-exercised, and clearly enjoyed his time with Pam. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Pam for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Thanks to Sonja and Yolanda. They’re extremely fast to reply, and I enjoyed all of the pictures they sent from Sokka’s time with them. I can tell they paid a lot of attention and put lots of care into my boy. They dealt well with the issues HE caused, and cared for him as if they were one of his own. I’m taking all of the advice you gave me into account. Thanks 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!”
“Stuart took great care of my dogs while I was away. I can tell they were well taken care of by the pictures shared and how they acted when they returned home (happy and tired). I would gladly leave them with his family again. Thanks for taking wonderful care of Teddy and Bear!”
“We were nervous about introducing our elderly pup, Bear, to a new boarding situation but with his mobility issues, taking him on trips just isn’t feasible any more, Jaxen assuaged those fears quickly, and took such fantastic care of him! Apparently, the specialized in elderly dog care. Bear was a happy, relaxed boy when we came back. We will definitely be utilizing Jaxen again.”
“Avery is such a great sitter for Pei! I always get pictures and updates and Pei adores her time with Avery. I am super thankful that I never have to worry when my pets are in Avery’s care.”
“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.”
“Absolutely love Cherish! She was so attentive to our pups they were missing her when we got home! She went way above and beyond! Highly recommend you reach out to her if you need someone to care for your pets while you are away! You just can’t have her when I need her! 😀”

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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hixson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
