I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future!

“Colt (my dog) stayed with Joseph and his family for two nights. Joseph was great at communicating with me and very understanding regarding my dog’s separation anxiety issues. It was Colt’s very first board at a home. Needless to say, my husband and I ourselves were a little anxious! But Joseph was quick to reply and provided plenty of updates with photos. Joseph also asked plenty of questions regarding Colt’s care, which I feel is a shining example of his strive towards excellent care. 10/10 would book again! 😊”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

“Karson did an exceptional job watching our little Ruby. Ruby is only 4 months old and to say she’s a handful is an understatement. Karson was very patient and attentive with Ruby and even took the time to help train her and tame her energetic puppy behavior. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Appreciated tremendously and would highly recommend booking with them.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my precious pup with. Angelica was amazing and Winnie seemed to really enjoy her time with her. She was available with only a 2 week notice and she was very responsive. Without asking, she sent me loads of updates. You could tell Winnie was well taken care of and she enjoyed playing with Angelica’s pups as well. I will definitely use Angelica for any future needs we have!!”

She is very attentive, easy to communicate with, and provides a great home for dogs. I 100% recommend Melissa if you need to find someone to watch your pup.”

“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”

About: We have both grown up with dogs since birth! Our families have always owned them. <3 We have experience walking, bathing, feeding, & giving oral medications to dogs of all breeds, ages, & sizes. We have owned dogs with our families before marriage & have each dog sat for friends & family.🐶Avery has experience taking care of her family’s senior shitzu including taking him on walks in a doggie stroller, walks in grippy socks, & exercising him in a bathtub because it’s good for his joints. (: 🛁🐾 Layton is blessed to work from home so he is able to watch, hangout, & play with your fur baby all day! No need to worry about your pup having anxiety away from a human or being lonely. Avery gets home from grad school in the evenings. We are both home at night and on the weekends as well, we have very flexible schedules. We live in a dog friendly, gated apartment complex with a dog park, sidewalks, and lots of space so we can get our exercise in💪🐶🏃‍♀️. We do not own any pets so you do not have to worry about your dog getting along with another animal or vice versa. (: We do not own any crates and feel no need to, we love letting our previous pets and dogs we’ve sat for roam freely with us and get as many pets & scratches as they please. We allow dogs on our furniture, just let us know if they are prone to accidents/not fully potty trained. We can’t wait to make your fur baby feel right at home when you’re away!

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 Norma 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 Norma.

<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 Norma 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.
