“I'm so happy to have found Shawna to care for our Cash. He absolutely loves her. She kept us informed of his daily activities. I will continue to choose her for his care when we are away. I think he misses her and his play friends. I highly recommend her for all your needs.”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Simply the best. We’ve taken our boys to Kristy several times now. They know when we’re getting close to her house and always so happy to walk right inside! She’s amazing! Thank you, Kristy!”
“Andrew took great care of my pup Beau! He sent updates while I was away, was excellent at communicating, and was so understanding when I had to push back my pick up time due to car troubles. Would definitely use him again!”
“Wendy and her family were absolutely AMAZING taking care of our cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She helped my cat become comfortable and feel right at home. I will most definitely have her pet sit for us again. Thank you so much!”
“She got great pics!! My dog is not photogenic, she hides from the camera and I loved the shots she got. Multiple walks a day, clean and welcoming home. Great place for Gidget to have a mini vaca at.”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Christy was friendly, personable, and cooperative. Because our standard poodle, Baxter, has never had much contact with other dogs, Christy was great with me dropping by one day so Baxter could Gunner, a big, beautiful German Shepherd. She sent photos of Baxter and always responded quickly to text messages. Baxter seemed quite content.”
“Tracy was stellar in taking care of our pups. She kept us apprised of their activities and their happiness. If we have the opportunity to go back up her way, we will be asking her to take them again.”
“Jenny was great! Our dog was able to play with others during her stay and run around in Jenny’s nice yard. Jenny sent pictures every day and we felt very comfortable with her watching our dog.”

About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.
About: I ensure the safety and well-being of animals while their owners are away. Responsibilities include feeding , walking , administering medications and companionship, reliable care. I pet sit to share my love for animals. It fits my daily routine by blending morning/evening walks with my own exercise and part-time work . Your fur-baby gets non-stop tail-wags, cozy couch snuggles, playful backyard romps, and scheduled snacks. I’ll send plenty of of cute photos to keep you smiling.
“Karson was great, she’s communicative and clearly loves animals. She took great care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for almost two weeks, she sent us updates often and checked in with any clarifications she had about their care. We’ll definitely be back!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl and my dad surprised me with my first dog, I fell in love with animals. We shared a very special bond and were best buddies. My husband and I shared a very similar bond with our first adopted pup. We used clicker training for basic tricks and behaviors. She was our first baby and went everywhere with us until she sadly passed. Since having kiddos and moving to Tennessee, our focus is now on providing help to other families with pets and loving them like our own. I stay home full-time and homeschool two kiddos, so I am able to provide care during the day for your pup and do drop-ins/ walks! Dogs must be comfortable and safe around kiddos. They will be loved by our entire family. We hope you’ll consider us to help you have peace of mind and quality care for your pups. I am a homeschooling mom of two girls (almost 8 and 11 years old) and we are home most days of the week. I’m available to come check up on your pups and/or take them for walks when needed due to my flexible schedule. I can provide any necessary check in care and walks at your home and in your neighborhood. My girls would love to come for a walk with me and love on your sweet pups if possible.
“First time ever using this app or even letting someone watch my dog but the experience was awesome and Nicole was the best she kept in contact the entire time sent us videos and pictures took our call at the last second and saved our vacation…..we couldn’t have ask for a better sitter”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, including seniors and puppies/kittens. I’ve been a foster with Young-Williams Animal Center since 2019 and love providing a safe, happy home for animals who make our lives richer and more loving. I currently work an 8:30 AM–5:00 PM job with a one-hour lunch break and live just five minutes from the office. I also work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility. I have a spare bedroom in my condo, and the space I provide depends on the animal’s size. For kittens, I often use the spare bathroom, keeping them warm with food, water, and a litter box nearby. For dogs, I set up their pen in the spare room with all their supplies. I also have a large fenced-in back patio where dogs can go outside, play, and run safely.
“loved her and the facility, our dogs had no problem making friends and enjoying the outdoors in a fenced in area. we picked up two very happy dogs that were worn out from their stay. our pups warmed up to her within minutes. we will be going back in the near future ?”

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.
98% of sitters in Jefferson City 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 Jefferson City home-away-from-home, 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 Jefferson City.
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 Jefferson City 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 , 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 .
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.
