About: I am a former K9 handler of the United States Air Force. I like to keep my home loving, safe, sanitary, and fun! I have 6+ years of experience in caring and training dogs. I live in Somerville, TN and work at the Somerville Animal Hospital 10 minutes away. I check on my dogs every day I work for my lunch break M-F. I stay at home on the weekends unless I am running errands. My pets are 75% outside and 25% inside dogs at the moment. They will be inside during heat season and outside during winter because their breed. I make individual care plans depending on the breed and what the individual canine is used to.
About: Not only do I have a strong love and passion for all animals, but I also have experience working with dogs of all kinds! I was employed with The Humane Society of Memphis and had the role of Canine Care Manager, which taught me a lot about animal behavior and care. I’m willing to take on a challenge and do it with a smile on my face! I currently have full weekday availability to give your fur babies all the playtime they could want or need! I help care for my stepdaughter once she’s out of school, so morning and early afternoon works best for my schedule. I’m willing to take and follow any instructions a client gives me on caring for their fur baby in their home, or going on walks! I typically use a slip lead leash for walks and if your doggy pulls, I can harness them with the slip lead leash to make sure the walk is comfortable for them. If you have a specific leash you’d like me to use I’m more than happy to!
“Tanisha is AMAZING!! She made time for a meet and greet on very short notice, and from the first interaction it was clear our dogs were going to be in great hands. She provided exceptional care throughout the day and kept me posted with pictures, which made all the difference when I was out of town. Knowing my fur babies were well cared for and happy gave me the peace of mind every pet parent needs. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up in a heavily animal-oriented household, I fell in love with caring for animals of all kinds. With a mother who is a professional groomer and previously a vet tech, I was exposed to dogs and animals of all breeds, temperaments, ages, and more. I have been taking on animal sitting “gigs” for as long as I can remember, and love every animal I meet! I am versed in different medical care and always willing to learn anything to help. I currently work full time with dogs on a daily basis, but love to fit in extra care when I can. I am often available for house visits, overnight visits, and more! Ideally for overnight visits, the pup/pet would be okay for 8 hours at a time due to work, but always willing to be flexible or work around as best I can. I love getting to care for pet’s in their own home, as it adds an extra level of comfort for them. I love learning their routines and following a structure that is familiar to them to make things a little less stressful!
“Kayla is awesome! She was able to check in on our dogs two times today when we had busy travel days. I love the updates and photos she sends, and will definitely be booking her for our future dog care needs!”
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds, especially cats. I have experience caring for my kitty that had cancer, including providing subcutaneous fluids, medications/fluids/food through a feeding tube, and administering liquid, capsule, tablet, and transdermal medications. I also have experience with other feline medical issues, such as chronic urinary blockages and feline asthma. Further, I have never lived in a home without a dog, and have a background in animal behavior, training, grooming, and health. I have no problem providing medications to any animals and have experience with seniors. I love dogs of all sizes, especially huge dogs! I am available 24/7 and am extremely flexible with scheduling! I am fully self-employed and I have an extremely open schedule. I have no problem with short-notice cancellations or applications, and will almost always be able to take on your request! I will fully adapt to you and your pet’s schedule. My job is to maintain your pet’s wellbeing and enrichment, so that is what I’m there to do!
“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”
About: I volunteered on a husky farm throughout my childhood (there were lamas too!). Additionally, I worked as a kennel assistant at a vet clinic during high school and college. Here, I gained professional experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I enjoy going on walks on the nearby trails and would love to have a furry friend along! I am a very reliable communicator and will send updates on how your pet is doing, whether is it during a brisk walk or during a weekend away!
About: I'm a semi-retired RN, a dog mom and a dog grandma ready to love on your fur babies while you're away. I've cared for dogs for 30 plus years, and I've rescued all my own dogs. I never met one I didn't love. We'll walk and help expend some energy during the day. A played out dog is a happy dog! I'm currently working 2 days a week, so I have time to spend with your fur babies whether you need one visit a day or two. I will take them on a walk or spend time with them in your backyard. I can administer meds if needed. I will walk your dog in your neighborhood or any designated area you prefer, and make sure they have water and/or food that's needed. I will send you pictures so you can see how they're doing during the day
“Jennifer is the best. The dogs love her and she was very attentive. She sent me wonderful pics and communicated often. She had a family emergency during her sitting time, but still made sure my pups were taken care of. YES!!! I will use her again.”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life with my family and now I have my own dog. I love helping any way I can and ensure you I will provide a genuine interaction with your pup!! I’m currently finishing my masters program online and can adjust my schedule to my bookings. This allows for me not to be rushed when tending to the animals. I have a pet at home (dog) so I will be going to clients homes to service pets. I enjoy showing love to the animal and making sure they are able to take care of their business while their owners are busy.
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“Fran is great! She cared for our 4 pups with the utmost care and respect. She updated me as soon as she arrived. She sent me photos and gave me behavioral updates. Fran followed our directions for feeding, training and special care for our dogs. Fran also gave me an update as she was leaving to let me know how the visit went. Our dogs seem to really enjoy her company. When I arrived home, I could tell how appreciative our dogs were for Fran’s visit. They were quiet, calm, and acted like they had a fun day while I was at work. Fran is a kind, reliable, and honest animal sitter! Thank you so much, Fran”
About: As early as 8 years old, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. From taking in and caring for outside cats to helping raise and care for puppies through their senior years, animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’ve helped with the everyday care that keeps pets happy and healthy, including walking, potty breaks, bathing, flea care, giving medications, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. One of my favorite parts of caring for animals is building trust with them. I naturally speak to animals gently and patiently, especially when guiding, correcting, or rewarding them. I believe pets respond best when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether your angel is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply attached to their normal routine, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy the maintenance and little details of pet care—not just the fun parts. I’m happy to keep up with potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medications, baths, cleanliness, and whatever routine helps your pet feel at home. My goal is for your pet to receive the same patience, affection, and gentle guidance I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Your angel is in good hands with me! It’s daily As someone who loves to take care of animals and give out affection, I see pet sitting more as a bond, then just simply a job They are provided with the same care that they will receive from their loving parents, think of it more of spending the night with their favorite aunt!
About: Ive worked at 3 different pet facilities from doggie daycare kennel assist to working at 2 vet hospitals. Im able to give genuine love and care while your away. Im currently a stay at home wife so i will be with them 24/7 while visiting with me and give them the care they deserve as if they were my own sweet babies. I have a partially fenced in backyard and a big front yard. They will have their own personal room where they will stay and i will make sure they are comfy.
“Samantha is outstanding! She is dedicated, resourceful, and provides great updates with plenty of pictures. Need to find a way to batch collect them. She easily adapted as our plans unexpectedly changed. Our three kitties loved her, even the most reticent. And, more importantly, she loved them. We will be definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had an assortment of pets my whole life, and was a groomer for several years. I’ve worked with pets big and small, from the greatest of Danes and even creepy crawlies! I work in a veterinary office 3-4 days a week, and have nothing to do but snuggle pets in my spare time! I have a flexible schedule. I want to bring comfort to your pets while you have to be away! As a fur mom of a couple of “Velcro” dogs myself, I know how sad they can be without us! I really love to chat with them while I am there!
“Nadia did a great job winning my babies over and making them feel comfortable. My puppy is weary of all strangers but she warmed up to Nadia swiftly and was wagging her tail and excited when she came to let them out the next day.”
About: Growing up, my family wasn't what you would consider "animal lovers", but we always had at least one pet dog around who we'd love unconditionally. I consider them my fur siblings and always helped with their care. In my early 20s I rescued a couple cats, which is funny considering I was terrified of them in my younger years. My co-parent and I would often rescue abandoned dogs and at one point had 4 or 5 dogs (plus 2 cats and a small child) running around our cramped home! These days, I just have one cat who lives with a friend, while I stay with my parents and their 2 dogs! All that to say, I love animals and would be more than happy to care for yours. I have been called upon over the last couple years to care for dogs, cats, parakeets, ducks and chickens. I wouldn't consider myself a trainer by any stretch, but have taught a few of my pet dogs to "sit", "shake", "lay down" and "wait". If you have active dogs, I am more than happy to run around and help exert some of that energy. If you have lazy dogs, I'm just as happy to lounge around and give endless belly rubs! I hope you consider me to care for your fur family! :) I typically work throughout the week, but can be flexible to your pets needs. For drop-ins/walks, I can usually be available in the morning, early afternoon and night, just depends on the day. I live with my parents, so I'm unable to do pet care in my own home, but will gladly do so in yours and treat your home with respect.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Macon
Jessica went above and beyond in the care of our dog (Jasper). She was at every appointment that was scheduled and was on time. Jasper was fed, let out for potty breaks and even exercised by playing fetch in the back yard. Updates were giving daily and we were at ease, knowing that our baby was in good hands. Jessica is very responsible and did exactly what she was asked to do. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.

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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
