“We have used Jamie a couple years now. We have a Goldendoodle. Jamie is great, we are so glad to have found a person to keep our dog every time we travel. We trust her with our dog and our dog loves her. Every time we drop our dog off our dog acts like she is in her happy place and on her own dog vacation.”
“Jack seemed like he had a great time at Christina's! Her yard and home is perfect for his energy to run around and play with other pups! We can't wait to come back again soon!”
“I can not say enough great things about Alora! This was my first time using Rover. My son got called out of town, I live in SC and his friend bailed on him. With in hours she was able to great his dog. She kept him in her home for 5 days. I received updates and pictures every day. He was well taken care of. I know my son will use her again and I recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter booked with her. I wish I could give 10 stars. Thanks to her my son and I had price of mind that Chief was in good hands.”
“Tish and her husband are always so sweet and helpful. It's clear that they love my dog, Peaches, and she feels very comfortable with them. I'm so grateful to have them to watch her!”
“Andrew was great and he paid a lot of attention to our pup! We felt very relieved knowing our girl was being taken care of. We got updates and photos daily, which was very nice to have.”
“I have an American Pit bull named Roxy, She doesn’t like everyone but she seemed comfortable in the home of Megan and Jeff, I haven’t noticed any behavioral issues after Roxy returned home as I have with other dogs and other boarding places. I felt very comfortable leaving Roxy with Megan. My only fear was that Roxy may not have wanted to leave when I returned from my trip… Stephen Anderson”
“Nancy & Stan are amazing hosts! There was daily communication and pictures. Their family loved on our fur babies like their own. First time with them, as well as Rover. We would definitely use them again. They went above and beyond. The kids are used to “flavoring” with their meals from us. They did not have to, but they gave them “extras” with their meals. Very clean, smoke free home. Our babies were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful to go on vacation and not have to worry about them. Nancy even washed his belly bands, very thoughtful. When we got home from picking them up, they are happy and well adjusted. No issues at all. Highly recommended.”
“Joslynne was fantstic, and took great care of my boy. She maintained constant communication and pictures to give me peace of mind that my dog was doing well while I was away. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“Brooke helped us on kind of short notice for a first time customer. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Tessa enjoyed the large back yard and did well with her family members. She was referred to us and I would refer her.”
“We dropped our dogs off for boarding while my partner and I raced in IM Chattanooga and are so thankful that Jaxen was able to watch them! They got to play a bunch and tired themselves out — and got a bath before being picked up. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while we raced.”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Jake and Caroline kept our Khloe Mae this past weekend and she had the best time (slept for hours when she got home) !! Drop off and pick up was very easy and they sent pictures every few hours and constantly gave us updates about her. Jake & Caroline’s kiddos and dog Ollie got along very well with Khloe and they all seemed to enjoy their visit together. They even took Khloe on a little walk/ water time in the creek. We plan on booking with them again in September!!”
“Patty was absolutely wonderful! She was so caring, kind, and communicative throughout my cat’s stay, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated and made it clear that my cat was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. Most importantly, my cat (Lincoln) absolutely loved Patty! It’s easy to see how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I would trust Patty again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable sitter.”
“Joyce and her homeschooled kids took stellar care of Misha, and updated me with pictures daily! Your dog will certainly be exhausted (a good thing!) when they come home due to all of the attention they will get from her family. Fully recommend!”
“Taylor [& her husband] were amazing! They took such great care of my dog / 2-year-old puppy! And their dog Maggie was lovely too. I know Archie had a fabulous time as after I picked him up in the morning - he literally napped all day! I will definitely have Archie stay with them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ooltewah
Jay did a great job taking care of our dog Haley during her overnight visit. He is a natural with dogs and Haley was comfortable with him right off the bat. Haley had a wonderful time playing with his dogs in his huge fenced backyard. Jay communicated with us through frequent pictures and text messages as needed. We definitely recommend Jay and will be using his services again in the future.
Emily was an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Kiva, and it was clear Kiva had an absolute blast during her stay. Emily sent us daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile every day. We could tell Kiva was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. We would absolutely trust Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

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.
94% of sitters in Ooltewah 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 Ooltewah 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 Ooltewah.
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 Ooltewah. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 Ooltewah 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.
