“Shawna, does an excellent job with my two little girls. Today is one of their birthdays. She celebrated her birthday with her rounded by her wonderful family. It meant everything to me. I’ve been in the hospital and the fact that Shawna steps up to the plate for every special need, just proves to me that they’re in the right place and I will never take them anywhere else. Thank you, Shawna, for all you do.”

“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.”

“Even I and dog don’t understand English very well, she really takes care of my dog !!! I really appreciate your kind support 😭!!! My dog is kind of very sensitive dog, but she treats my dog very well. She is really professional!!!! I am happy she accepts us 🙇 Thank you very much !”

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.

“This was Honiee’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Lauryn did an amazing job! She sent lots of picture/video updates making this experience a lot less nerve wracking. I’ve already rebooked!”

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.
“On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. Two night minimum required. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 11:30-1:30 p.m. and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 10 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! 🐈
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”

“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”

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 .

About: Since I was a kid, I've been an avid animal lover of all creatures big and small. I've fostered, rehabilitated, and cared for countless animals (pets & wildlife) with a focus of kindness and respect first and foremost. I have hands-on experience with agression, reactivity, separation anxiety, high-energy, and sick/poor health. I currently have 2 dogs in my care (7 & 6) that I rescued as puppies and they've traveled with me all over the southeast. Our favorite activities are exploring in the woods and seeing who is the muddiest at the end of each adventure. I'm very intentional about creating a space for animals to exist as they naturally do, it's a wonder to see how each animal navigates the world and to see their unique personalities shine. I'm currently between jobs, working self-employed gigs here and there, leaving my schedule flexible and open to last-minute care for your pets! I keep my calendar updated daily to ensure accurate availability and give priority to return clients. I am very adamant on making sure your pet receives the same care and routine they are accustomed to. I have experience in a wide arrange of personalities and have personal experience in dogs that need special care and attention with behavior. I do hands-on training with my dogs daily to work on their behavior (one of them is very leash/dog reactive) I have experience is caring for animals with heath needs and stubborn behavior, from administering oral medicine to grooming/nail trimming.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically my entire life. My household has reached its limit on pets but I would love to care and help out any pets I can. I’ve fostered with Young Williams many times. I love dogs of any ages! I’m currently stay at home and so I can give my full attention to any pets in my home! My own dogs are good companions and love friends I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own, as well as a separate bedroom for any dogs in need of their own space. My dogs are crate trained and can be put away at any time to make another pup feel welcome and calmed! Routine is big in this house and always makes the animals feel better.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Joppa 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 Joppa.
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 Joppa 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.
