“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
About: Fur parents, vets, and animal welfare organizations can attest to my ability to care for any breed or size of dog. I have enjoyed caring for dogs for over 15 years now. I am dedicated to a creature's well being. I grew up with several dog breeds around me. I have taken dogs on light walks, hiking, on a beach, in the park, or I have just tossed the ball outside each day. In my childhood, I volunteered with a local zoo and taught other kids about wildlife. I also trained golden retrievers and learned from local vets. My life has always been full of creature love, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, rabbits, birds, monkeys, tigers, and ground hogs. I truly love all animals. I work remotely and so have the flexibility to adapt my daily schedule to your fur baby’s to make every day supportive, loving, and fun! I live in a community that loves pets so there’s always a lovely outdoor spot to go on a walk in as well as health and well being resources available.
“It can be hard leaving your pets in someone else's hands, but with Alora, we felt total peace of mind. She's not just a sitter—she's a caregiver, an animal lover, and someone who truly treats your pets like her own. We’re so grateful for her time with us and would absolutely welcome her back in a heartbeat.”
About: I have grown up working on farms and raised with the mentality of pets are always family! Your loved ones are always safe with me! I work from home and have a fun big dog park at my apartment complex. Need a sitter with flexibility I am your go to! I have my own baby. He is a 3 year old golden as cute as could be. We love to be outside majority of the day!
About: I have had pets my entire life (cats, dogs, ducks). I’ve taken care of many friends and family’s pets, from daily walks to over night stays. I have also had an anxious and reactive dog for the past 5.5 years, so I know how to adjust to an animals needs and make them happy and comfortable. I have open availability during mornings and afternoons for long walks, short/ long runs, hiking adventures, or sessions of fetch with your furry friends. Over night stays available with notice. I have an anxious dog in my home so I will only be able to do drop ins, walking, or overnight sitting at the clients home. I love to go on long walks with my dog, hikes, or runs (for the highly active pups).
“Karina was great with our dogs! She is personable and showed good care of the muskrats. You can tell Karina is a good person. We would love to see her again in our future get aways.”
“Sam took great care of my cat while on vacation. She always communicated clearly and promptly! She was happy to accommodate any special requests as well. I was relieved to know that she would be checking in daily. Will definitely use Sam before anyone else when planning my next trip.”
“Leah I was a professional on all accounts. She knew how to handle our Dobie, who has some reactive issues. I could tell upon return that our two dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend.”
“I had to book last-minute, & Nicole was responsive, flexible, & communicative. Made the whole process super easy! When she stopped by to check on him, she made sure he had enough food & water, & they got some good playtime in! I felt confident that Earl was in good hands, & that gave me a lot of peace of mind :) Can’t recommend her enough! Will definitely book again with her in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of Earl!”
“Skylar did a fantastic job at taking care of my two cats (my babies). It was the first time being left alone. They warmed up to her nicely. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Sydney was AMAZING!!!!!! Our dogs are not the easiest to work with and one of them is very skittish. I think my dogs may love her more than me now LOL. She is great!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for my furry family members since I was a young girl. I have trained puppies and cared for senior, ailing dogs as well. My pets have been and continue to be my family and are treated with respect and dignity and lots of love. I have clients whom I have cared for their cats and dogs and continue to have relationship and care for these animals. I am available for pet sitting for any length of time while you are away on vacation or stopping by throughout the day to feed, walk and play with your furry family member. I feed, play and talk with them, walk with them and keep them active to ensure a healthy life. I rest with them when they need it and groom them regularly- bathing them when needed, brushing them, providing oral care, and ensuring overall health with whatever supplements they need as well as visiting the vet when needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hixson
This was my first trip away from my pup for a few days and didn’t quite know what to expect. Jeanette was excellent. She arrived a few minutes before scheduled times everyday, and going off the pictures she sends you can tell she really cares. I would definitely recommend if you want your pup just as happy when you come back as when you left.
Thank you Kearsten for all your help with Tallulah and all the extras you did while visiting. She and Frenchy will miss you! 💕. You have been a blessing and provided peace of mind while I was at work knowing the fur babies were in excellent care! Wishing all the joy and blessings in your time off!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hixson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
