About: I have been a pet owner many times through my childhood and well into adulthood. I also worked for ‘Just Fur the Weekend’, a pet boarding company where I had the opportunity to foster lovely relationships between the pet owner and pets. Trust, quality care and comfort are very important to me! I am a stay at home mom with two kids under five. We are a pet lovers household. Between the three of us your pet will have a lot of fun playdates and quality time. Routine walks and playdates are essential to maintaining a healthy and active day. Potty training for indoor/outdoor pups and precision meal planning. If any meds are necessary, we’ll make sure we’re on the same page.

About: I was a vet tech for 6 years. I know where dogs and cats like to be scratched and I am happy to provide scratching! I recently moved here and am semi retired. I love animals but my family member's are allergic to them. Coming to your home your pets will get my full attention and be happy as my fur fix! In coming to your home I will take care of all your pets needs whether picking up poop or scooping a box, feeding, walking, playing, and brushing. Happily wearing each other out with love and attention!

About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.

About: My name is Joe, I have just recently moved to Chattanooga from Denver, CO. I have several years of dog watching experience. Currently im working on my dog training certification and hope to offer those services soon. My partner & I have a special needs dog, and am great at providing the specialized care she needs. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, and can provide that special extra touch to ensure your pup feels at home while away. I watch dogs full time, so my routine is centered around walks, playtime, naps, ,meals, and treats. I live close to a beautiful park. Its my job to provide maximum fun times. Safety is my biggest concern when watching your dog. We introduce them to the new environment slowly in a controlled manner to allow them to be comfortable in their surroundings.

About: I grew up with multiple dogs and enjoy playing with and caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as needed. I don’t own a dog at present but that’s only because a couple of our cats are really particular :) I’m flexible most of the time and willing to prioritize the care of your pet and would enjoy the chance to befriend your dog or cat. I am often called a pet whisperer and am happy to spend whatever time necessary to build trust with your furry friends so that I can provide the care they need in your absence.

About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.

About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your dog is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own while doing my best to maintain the routine they’re familiar with so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m comfortable caring for small and medium-sized dogs, puppies, and senior dogs. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to give them attention and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll pay close attention to your instructions, feeding schedule, routines, and preferences. I’m also comfortable administering medications in pill form when needed. My goal is for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your pup to receive plenty of love, attention, and care until you’re back. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, so I do my best to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to and make their time with me feel as comfortable and normal as possible. Whether it’s boarding, day care, a walk, or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your dog receives the time, care, and attention they deserve. ❤️🐾 Safety, comfort, and trust are very important to me. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I will treat them like one of my own. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and their normal daily routine. I take time to learn each dog’s personality and needs so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship, while always keeping a close eye on their well-being. I also believe in good communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with love and attention. 🐾❤️

I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Hixson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hixson is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hixson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Hixson 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Hixson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hixson. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
