“Carly.did a wonderful job taking care of my Portuguese water dog for 5 consecutive nights. Our dog seemed very happy in the daily pictures that Carly provided. The communication and proactive questioning provided during my experience exceeded my expectations. Her home has a generous fenced-in area, which worked well with my dog. I highly recommend this service provider.”
“Jennifer and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Dan! He came back super happy! We love that she sent photos throughout his stay and showed genuine care and love for him. They have a big yard for play time and it seemed that he got lots of attention. We would definitely book with her again!”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“Mikayla and Skyler was exceptional from start to finish. They were punctual, communicative, and followed all care instructions perfectly. It was clear they went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy. We returned home to a relaxed, well cared pup. I would absolutely recommend their services.”
“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”
“Lorna is great! I never once had to question if my fur baby was in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and videos and updated often. She has a great, big backyard that my pup could run in, and a bed that she’d always get to snuggle on. Lorna treated my dog like her own.”
“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”
“Ashley was amazing with Sadie!! It was an emergency situation for us and Ashley made me feel so comfortable leaving our fur-toddler with her and her family! Ashley was so kind and had nothing but great photos and updates to send us throughout the week. We will definitely book with Ashley when needed in the future!”
“Thomas was AMAZING! He took such great care of our sweet Luna! He sent updates every day which we really appreciated when leaving Luna with someone! He was very responsive and communicated promptly! I definitely recommend Thomas and will be booking with him again!”
“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
“David was great! We were very apprehensive about leaving our girl with someone that wasn’t family but david made us feel safe by sending several photos every day!! We will definitely use him again!”
“Erica was great. She kept our two large breeds for a weekend and kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pics! Would definitely recommend and use again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom had as many as six dogs at a time, and I was actively involved in their daily care from a very young age. We also had multiple litters of puppies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, rabbits, and hamsters, making me comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I've spent a lifetime around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most recently, my two beloved dogs passed away. While I'm not quite ready to bring new pets into my home yet, I miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to continue spending time with pets, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️ I work from home with a flexible job. I am able to take care of your pets on whatever schedule works best for them and you. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I also live in a cul-de-sac so it’s a safe neighborhood to walk pets in! I have no other pets living in my home so all my attention can be on your baby or babies!
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and understand how important pets are to their families. I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive care, treating every pet with the same kindness and respect I would give my own. As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive pet care and accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I will provide patient, loving, and attentive care. I will also respect your home and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.
“Ken is the best. My pups get so excited when I head in the direction to his home. I get pics and updates and they’re worn out when they come home which makes me a happy mama. So glad to have Ken in town to love on my pups when I can’t!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy! Carola took such great care of Bowie while I was away for a few days. Would definitely recommend her services to a friend :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingsport
Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with! She communicated very well she let my dogs even sleep in the bed with her, which truly meant the world to me. She sent me pictures all weekend wrong letting me know that they were having a good time and that they were behaving. I will definitely ask her before I book with anyone else. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
These boarders were the best I’ve ever used. They were very easy to work with and my baby was very comfortable staying with them. Pictures were sent daily and communication was helpful in knowing how my baby was doing. I will definitely use them again and will recommend them to my family and friends.

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.
100% of sitters in Kingsport 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 Kingsport 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 Kingsport.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kingsport 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.
