“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Piper! Annabel was on time every day, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure Piper was happy and well taken care of. She kept us updated throughout our trip with lots of great pictures and action shots, which we absolutely loved seeing. Her daily updates about what Piper was doing gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that Annabel genuinely enjoys what she does, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in her care. She met and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely have Annabel watch Piper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Hali was really flexible with scheduling and great to communicate with! She came at the scheduled time and provided pictures. Would definitely use her for dog walking again!”
“Jada has been an amazing and caring person who loved and cared for my cats while we were away. She was helpful, flexible and communicated clearly. She was attentive when receiving instructions. My cats, even the shy one, instantly felt comfortable with her! She must have the true free spirit recognised by animals! I'll definitely book her again when needed!”
About: I have provided pet care for dogs & cats since the 1980s. I have also cared for my pets over my lifetime: dogs, cats, rabbits,& birds. I also have experience with horses, llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, monkeys & lemurs. But I do NOT do spiders or snakes. Besides caring for my 3 rescue pups, I also run my own business, so my schedule is usually somewhat flexible. But my calendar books up quickly. I currently do drop-in visits at your home. I have my own transportation. Besides keeping to your pets feeding schedule, I am happy to spend time with them, if they're not afraid of new people. And I'm happy to walk dogs that are 40 lbs or less.
About: I’m an attentive, patient, and genuinely dog-loving sitter who understands that every pup has their own routines.I’m comfortable with all kinds of care including structured playtime, feeding routines and keeping their environment clean and calm. What sets me apart is my reliability, my calm demeanor, and my genuine passion for giving dogs a positive, stress-free experience while you're away. Being a cat parent, pet care fits into my daily routine like an intergral part. I have a full-time job but I can cater to after hours services. I'm available for weekends and holidays as well. I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I pay attention to keep their environment calm and clean, will follow your instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with the same respect I do with mine own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“This was the first time I used Rover and I liked the way everything was set up. Sara was great with my cat, Izzy. She is a little shy with new people but she was able to pet her at our meet and greet. By her second drop in visit Izzy was more friendly. I loved the updates and the notes each day and especially the pictures! I would definitely use Sara again.”
“This was my first time using the drop in service. Jackie was wonderful! She treated my Chase like her own. She has a customer for life! She was amazing very responsive and was available last minute. Thank you again Jackie!”
“Second time I’ve booked Kayla to watch my fur babies! Always such a relief knowing they are in good hands! Kayla is very fast with replies and always sends the cutest pictures!! Grateful for her!”
“Michelle took excellent care of my babies! My dog was so much more at ease in her own home. The pictures Michelle sent at each visit were awesome- you could see how happy and silly my pup was and how comfortable all the babies were with her. I loved that she took the time to send updates and let me know what they were up to.”
“Thanks for taking good care of the cats and loving on the dogs. Sorry about Dot and Mia fighting. They do that from time to time. Dot likes to show off for the humans. I appreciate you coming out to our place and giving us some piece of mind.”
About: I’ve watched several different sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs since I was 19 years old. I would love to be able to help care for your babies! I currently work as a nurse M-Th 730-5 and Friday 7:30-12. I have an aussiedoodle/border collie at home, during the work week he is let out before work, on my lunch break, and when I’m off. On the weekends he is let out more frequently. He is my buddy and goes everywhere with me, we go for frequent pup cups and park days when weather allows. I treat client pups as if they were my own. I will do whatever is needed to keep the pups and their owners happy ❤️
About: I grew up with a variety of pets rabbits, birds, fish & a tortosie. As an adult I owned kitties who both unfortunately passed from cancer. We also have 3 dogs- 11.5y bloodhound mix, 5y bloodhound & a 2y German Shepherd. I am willing to help teach your dog basic skills during our time together if you would like. Prior to moving to TN in 2024 my dogs and I were part of a wonderful Search and Rescue team. I enjoy nearly all outdoors activities. My bloodhound and I have run many races together so far from 5k's- half marathons. Our GSD tags along on our runs also but has yet to complete a race. We also enjoy lots of hiking, swimming and checking out new Sniff Spots around our area when we want to switch it up. I currently work from home full time M-F typically 8a-430p however I do have flexibility in my schedule so don't hesitate to reach out! During the week I get up about 445a to feed my pups. Take our Bloodhound & German Shepherd for their run or walk & since my neighborhood isn't particularly running friendly we go somewhere to get our miles in, yes it is dark but typically where we go is lit, I have a headlight & they have their light up gear. Then after I am done with them I come home and switch dogs to take our senior girl for her walk, she maybe a senior but she LOVES her morning miles. They usually eat about 3-345p and when I am off work we usually work on obedience around the neighborhood or I recently purchased some agility equipment so we may work on that. Let me know what your needs are and I can accommodate that. For safety reasons for my own pets I am not currently offering pet care at my home but I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet. I have found that often times they are more comfortable in their own home. Depending on my husband schedule I may be able to offer overnight house sitting, just ask. For dog walks I am happy to walk in your neighborhood if it is safe to do so or at a little extra cost I am able to transport them to a hiking trail, walking trail or other area to walk. For dog safety I have 3 large Ruffland crates in my car that my dogs use & I would keep your pet safe in the vehicle by using them unless your pet is too big for them.
“Malissa was amazing with my cat, Frankie. He was a little scared at first, but quickly warmed up to her. Malissa did such a fantastic job looking after Frankie that I'll be booking her again soon. I highly recommend her.”
“Amanda took great care of our cat while we were gone. She checked in each visit and took plenty of pictures so I could see how he was doing. When we got home I could see she had fed him and cleaned his litter box and he was a happy and healthy kitten!”
About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of animals (ie. cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses, and even the occasional snake to name a few) for over ten years now. I have had many of my own pets over the years as well. I love animals both big or small and have no problem doing what is needed to take care of them. I greatly enjoy giving them love and attention and receiving it from them in return. It’s no problem at all to go the extra mile to make sure that any pets under my care are healthy and happy. Even if I’m simply there just there to sit with them to keep them company, it’s my pleasure. I am currently working full time but getting ready to merge into stay-at-home motherhood here in the near future, so my schedule will be quite flexible. I currently have two indoor only cats that rule my house and regularly take care of indoor and indoor/outdoor pets. I am comfortable with administering some medications, basic grooming, and normally required cleaning.
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I pay attention to them. As a dog owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Whether your pup needs playtime, companionship, structure, or just someone who understands them, I’ll care for them the way I’d want my own dogs cared for. Basic experience in some training. I’m available after 4 pm most days and all day on weekends. I’ll have more availability starting in July! If you’re interested, ask and I’ll see if I can accommodate! I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. In my clients’ homes, I work to keep things as normal as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while their family is away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, whether they’re in their own home or mine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingsport
Annabell had been great! I have her let my dog out while I'm at work. She plays with him which he loves; according to my neighbor. My dog liked her the evening she came over before the first session. Also, she's a great communicator, sends lots of photos and a short update every day I would highly recommend her for your pet!
Cadence does a wonderful job as usual! She’s very reliable and takes good care of my dogs. She communicates very well too. I had a small leak in the water heater and she let me know, and we were able to get it shut off until I returned. I appreciate her great care of my dogs and gives me peace of mind knowing she is looking after them!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
