“Davis was exceptional! This was my fur baby’s first time away from home and I wasn’t worried one bit. I was provided tons of pictures and updates. I could feel the loving that my Benji received throughout the photos and updates. You won’t go wrong choosing Davis! Your pup will feel right at home!”
“Julie was awesome! She helped us out in a pinch and it was a great time for our pups. She cared for them like they were her own. Great communication and updates with pictures. And as a bonus she took some excellent pics! Would absolutely rebook and recommend to anyone.”
“Tory was amazing with Enzo!! Always kept me frequently updated me on how he was. In all the pictures you could tell he was very happy and smiley. Will definitely book her again!!!!”
“Another great stay with Ruby!! We’re so glad we found her. Our boys just love spending their time with her and she is just so amazing with them. She’s also so great with photo and video updates…it really makes being away from my boys so much easier. I know they’re always in great hands with Ruby! ❤️”
“Will was very communicative and responsive not only during the booking process, but while my babies were with him. He sent photos and a video. His home was easy to find and we were flexible with pickup. I will use him again. Thanks for caring for my boys!”
About: My kennel is family run and provides personal, loving service. I have 7 stalls available, each with a doggie door leading to an enclosed outdoor area. Nestled in the woods just south of Millington, your furry friend will enjoy privacy, nature and the love of three teenage daughters, under my supervision, in your absence. If you would prefer only an adult handling your pet, that will be respected. I know your pet has individual needs, and I'm here to meet them. The kennel is located on my property, so I am constantly present and available. Pets will be fed, walked, given treats or medication, and played with on your requested schedule. Each dog has their own stall and a personal fenced in outdoor area that is accessible all day. There is a double stall available for an additional fee if you would like to leave them with more space. There is a larger fenced area where they can be let out to play daily, with other dogs or alone. I am also available to leash walk them around our 30 acres of grass and woods. I want your pet to be relaxed and enjoy their time with us, so just tell me what you want and I'll make it happen.
“Alexis was so great! She sent us pictures of our fur baby everyday! She even bought her a banana costume 🥹 we ran into a family emergency and she kept our pup longer with no hesitation. She even took care of her when she threw up! Seriously she was so good, would definitely recommend.”
“Our baby was happy here. She played hard with the other dogs and still came home smelling pretty! We got pics and updates. Rebecca was very responsive. Would recommend! !”
“Sharon was wonderful and communicative and took such good care of George. She sent us pictures and was very flexible with pickup times! She is clearly a huge dog lover and I’d leave George in her care again:)”
“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”
“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”

About: I have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog from puppyhood through his senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic bathing, maintaining a pet’s normal routine, and providing plenty of affection and supervision. As a biomedical PhD student, I’m responsible, observant, organized, and attentive to details. I provide owners with regular updates and photos, and I currently host only one small or medium dog at a time so each pet receives calm, individualized care. I’m a biomedical PhD student with a structured weekday schedule, and I primarily offer boarding on weekends when I can provide more consistent supervision and attention. During a stay, I plan feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks around each dog’s usual routine. On weekdays, dogs may need to be comfortable alone for up to 4–8 hours. I live in a clean, smoke-free apartment with no children or resident pets. I host only one small or medium dog at a time so I can provide individualized care in a calm environment. Dogs are taken outside on leash for all walks and potty breaks. I carefully follow feeding, medication, crate, and household instructions, keep unsafe items secured, and provide regular photo and message updates. A meet-and-greet is preferred before the first booking.
“Mrs. Allison was the sweetest ! This was my dog’s first time away from me and she made me feel so comfortable. She sent countless pics daily, and he was in absolute heaven! I joked the whole week about how he was not going to want to come home lol. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Island Forty. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Island Forty 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 Island Forty 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 Island Forty.
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.
You and your Island Forty 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.
