About: As a deeply empathetic and compassionate mental health professional, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet sitting services that cater to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. With a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling with internship training in animal-assisted modalities, I bring a unique blend of expert care and emotional insight to my role. Throughout my post-graduate internship, I gained invaluable experience working with therapy animals to assist children and adults, enhancing their emotional and social well-being. This role not only deepened my expertise in animal behavior and welfare but also reinforced my natural inclinations for empathy and understanding, allowing me to connect with animals in a profound and meaningful way. In my professional pet sitting services, I apply these traits by ensuring each pet receives nurturing attention, recognizing their individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I strive to create a comforting and stimulating environment, where your pets feel understood, cared for, and safe. I am prepared for both short-term and long-term assignments, passionately committed to offering your pets a loving and attentive experience. I work remotely and have a moderately flexible schedule with a few set tasks throughout. Depending on location and need, I can be somewhat flexible. I prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment whether at my home or a client's home. I leverage my background in psychology and animal-assisted therapy to understand and cater to the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. This includes maintaining a structured routine with regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep pets active and engaged. I also provide constant companionship and emotional support, ensuring that pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their temporary environment. My approach is flexible and adaptable, designed to meet the specific requirements of each pet and the preferences of their owners.

“Finn had a great time with Joslynne for doggy daycare! He loved having so many friends to play with. Joslynne was very responsive and flexible with pick up/drop off. Would definitely use her again if we’re in the area!”

About: I am a Dog and animal lover and have had at least one as a companion for my entire life, from rambunctious puppies to wise old white faced rescues, Sometimes with multiple dogs and cats all living happily together. I believe that dogs are happiest when they've got plenty of excercize, playtime, love, and cuddles with some treats mixed in. I've found that my calm demeanor puts my pups at ease, and often find dogs I've never met before following me around. I love outdoor activities especially in the area where we live, and would love to share a nice walk or even jog with your pup while you're away. I'm available most mornings and early afternoons during the week, and weekend nights. While my schedule varies week to week, it is flexible if I have enough notice.
“Charish was amazing with our two pups, Lulu and Lucky! She was super friendly, flexible with our schedule, and took great care of them while we explored Chattanooga. They came back happy and well-loved. She offers a very large fenced in yard with room to roam. If you’re visiting the area and need someone trustworthy and kind to care for your fur babies, look no further. Charish is a gem—we’d use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any pet parent! 🐾💕 🐶🐾”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring her to care for my furry friends and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep love and respect for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with my dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind, knowing that my dogs were in great hands. When I returned, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I can't recommend Sonja and Yolanda highly enough - if you're looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters, look no further!”
About: I have always had a dog(s) in my life. I’ve care for small dogs, large dogs, old dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I’ve always wanted to create a doggie hotel, but short of that they are welcome in my home. I’m currently not working outside the home and have ultimate flexibility. I like to have a planned schedule and prefer scheduling stays at least 1 week in advance. I have a safe, fenced in yard and have one senior dog of my own to keep you baby company. I live in a safe walking neighborhood, if you’d like to add that service. I can also adapt my service to your home, especially with drop in service.
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hixson
Amazing experience!! Needed last minute doggie daycare while I was away at a baby shower for 4-5 hours which was longer than I wanted to leave my 8 week old Winston in a kennel. Rachel was available and able to help. So blessed and thankful to be able to do what I needed to do without worrying about him. He had fun, she fed him when he got hungry, and he slept until I got back. She sent updated pics too which eased my mind he was in great hands! What a blessing and lifesaver she is. Will definitely be using her service again.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hixson commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 254 sitters in Hixson, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
