“I had to go out of town for the weekend and thought my only option was to board my dog at the vet until I found Rover. Heather did great with my dog and I know that Lucy got cared for properly and not just left alone. I will definitely use Heather again in the future.”
“I'd give 10 stars if I could!!! Our 2 large dogs LOVE staying with Dalis and are sad to leave! Dalis has excellent communication and sends photos throughout the visit! We plan on using her again and again! I am so glad that we found her.”
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
About: With 18 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that pets are more than just animals. They’re family! I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide your pets with the same love, patience, and attention they receive at home. As a registered nurse, I am naturally attentive, dependable, and detail oriented. I understand the importance of following routines, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I work remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I understand how important consistency, attention, and companionship are for pets, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. Working from home also allows me to offer flexible scheduling for pet care services. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I strive to accommodate their individual needs and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. As a registered nurse, I am attentive to details, comfortable following specific care instructions, and accustomed to recognizing changes that may require attention. I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make every effort to maintain their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I also respect your home and make sure your pet’s environment remains clean, comfortable, and secure. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving attention!
“Allison is an awesome pup sitter! Very professional, and has such a love for dogs. Her dog Mingo is very friendly as well. Clean area for the dogs to stay, along with an extra crate and food bowls, which was very convenient. I felt safe and content with leaving my baby with her and the puppy pictures during the stay were a plus too! Highly recommend”
“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Charlie! She gave daily updates and pictures as to what he was up to and how he was behaving with the other dogs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their dogs for an extended amount of time!”
“This was the first time I have used Victoria’s service. When I was dropping off my Bassets with her, I immediately sensed the friendliness presence with her and her family. The dogs were comfortable and happy. She sent me pictures yesterday. Was very friendly today. I will be booking with her again.”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our pups while out of town for an entire week. We received photos and videos every day. She was quick to respond and made sure our pups were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Cosmo loved his stay at Becky's. He was so happy when I picked him up after our vacation. She sent me pictures of him romping and playing in her yard and I could tell that he was having a great stay.”
“I had to make a last minute trip out of town during the holiday weekend and I was ripping my hair out trying to find a place to board my dogs. Thankfully I found Sharon and she had availability! She responded to my request right away and I was booked within half an hour. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and Chad helped me with the kennels (huge help, carrying/loading stuff like that with arthritis is a pain!). My dogs had a great time there playing with everybody. Sharon sent me several pictures too! Knowing that they were safe and having fun while I was traveling was a huge relief. I'll definitely book with Sharon again next time I'm traveling.”
“Shannon is great! Her and her dog Goose are very welcoming. They were able to give my doggo the best time while I was away. It's hard to leave your dog behind on a trip but it's a lot easier when you know they are in good hands. She gave me great pictures and videos so I could be at ease while I was away.”

“Audrey and her family are the best. She took wonderful care of Milo while we were out of town for the week. I received the cutest daily photo updates and she catered to Milo's sensitivities without hesitation. She treated him like her own! We will definitely schedule with Audrey again!”
“I was nervous leaving my dogs. I won’t leave them at a kennel due to coming home sick almost every time. After numerous interviews and visits, we chose Whitney! My dogs love her and her family and better yet, she loves them. They were treated like her own.”

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.
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.
92% of sitters in Kelso 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 Kelso 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 Kelso.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kelso. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
You and your Kelso 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
