“Laura has been phenomenal in taking care of our dog. We work long hours so she comes to give a potty break and is always so attentive to her needs and sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was AMAZING! Clear communication, the dogs obviously loved her, and she even went out of her way to make sure their paws were wiped off after a rainy weekend. Would absolutely book again. 10/10.”
“Gregory is awesome! My dog Archie has a hard time warming up to new people and Gregory was patient, kind, and understanding. Gregory gave frequent updates at the first drop-in and worked with Archie until Archie warmed up. Now they are pals. Couldn’t have gone better!”
“Gretchen was the best sitter I have ever had on Rover! She dropped in on my high energy lab mix Finn while I was traveling for a few days. She sent great updates and is a wonderful photographer! She also was very willing to do all the funny little detailed things that Finn needs. I will definitely be using her again!!!!”
“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: I’ve had pets since I was a baby, and currently own a pug myself! I used to volunteer as well at an animal clinic before becoming a nurse. Now I’m a SAHM to three (not fur) babies and would love to give dedicated care to yours with fur! I am a SAHM of three kiddos! One is a baby, and the others are 3 and 4. We spend lots of time out in the yard or going on walks. And if we need to travel to let your animal out, they love to go on trips! Our schedule is wide open. I have a fenced in yard and one dog that goes inside/outside. I do have children, so the dog/cat has to be kid friendly of course. Having owned the dog and cats — my kids are well trained on being gentle and kind to animals of all shapes and sizes! (And when to leave them alone, ie meal time)
About: I have two senior dogs now, and have had dogs and cats my whole adult life. I have cared for friends’ pets when they travel and can provide references. I’m newly retired, and my availability for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight stays is very flexible. I’m newly retired and looking forward to new adventures with your fur-babies. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I am able to stay in your home overnight. I can come to your home for playtime, walks, and general care. I am also available for overnight stays in your home. I am comfortable providing medication and injections.
“Keira is doing drop-ins for us and is building a good relationship with our rescue. She responds quickly to any messages. She is great at making sure any instructions I leave are done. She takes cute pictures during the visit too! We plan to have her sit for us when vacation time comes.”
“Laurie is an excellent dog sitter. She is extremely dependable and fantastic with my two dogs. I never worried one time while out of town. Laurie sent pictures and kept me updated on each visit. Will definitely use Laurie’s services again.”
“Alora was amazing!! We hired her short notice and she was so flexible. Our animals were very well taken care of. She kept in contact with us the entire 2 weeks we were gone. I will certainly be hiring her again. I would recommend that you hire her to care for your fur babies!!”
“Brittany was awesome with our Corgi, Zoe. Brittany's took the time to play with her several times a day. In the update photos you could see that Zoe was having fun and being well cared for.”
“10/10 recommend Laura. She took great care of my cat — giving him lots of love, cuddles and playtime. Laura sent me detailed updates and the cutest photos, which let me relax while I was away knowing he was taken care of. Big thank you to Laura for taking the best care of my little guy.”
“Cayla is an excellent dog sitter and you should not hesitate to book her! I can’t recommend her enough. She is kind and gentle with our dogs, she takes great care of our home during her stay, she stays in touch with photos and updates, and she even uses her dog-training expertise to teach our dogs new tricks and always works with them to improve any challenging behaviors. We have come back to happy and better-behaved dogs each time Cayla dog-sits. Thank you Cayla!!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and in general it was my first time leaving my cats with someone who wasn't family or friends. Skylar was great with them and followed their care instructions perfectly. The pictures I got with every visit went a long way in helping ease my anxiety and at the end I was even left with a sweet note and cute drawings of my cats. I'll definitely be reaching out in the future if I need someone to take care of them when I'm gone and can't recommend Skylar enough!”
“Taylor is absolutely amazing! Having a dog from the shelter can be challenging.. especially making new friends and pet sitters. So glad my girl loves Taylor! She always sends pictures and always lets us know how she is doing. We have used her for doggy walks, and overnight, we are so happy and grateful for all that Taylor does!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hixson
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 847 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hixson. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
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 .
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.
