About: Growing up my mom and I always fostered dogs. I’ve grown up with experience walking and taking care of dogs! I have helped with special needs dogs, pregnant dogs, hyper, and senior dogs. I currently have two dogs, and still foster dogs to this day! I am attending online school and I have plenty of time to come walk your doggies! I have a part time flexible job as well! I take my time making sure all walking equipment is on properly and make sure they get the attention they need!! I pay a lot of attention to detail and schedules for your dogs.
About: I offer dependable and attentive pet care for animals of all shapes and sizes. With a calm and grounded approach, I create a peaceful, safe environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, play, or companionship, I would love to meet your pet! My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m available to offer thoughtful, individualized pet and house sitting. I genuinely enjoy keeping cats company, walking dogs, watering plants, or just making sure everything feels cared for while you’re away. I’m open to daytime and overnight visits. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, needs, and personality. I strive for you and your pet to feel at ease while you’re away. I like to prepare for visits by learning what’s important to you and your pet, what you need from me, and what your pet might need in your absence. I care about cleanliness and do my best to ensure that your space is tidy for your return.
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat, and often took neighborhood pet sitting jobs. I also worked with small animals on a local farm for several years, and currently live in a house with two dogs, who I help care for when their owners are away. Over the past six years or so, I’ve done pet and house sitting for various clients, and it’s been a fantastic experience! I look forward to meeting your pets and helping give you the time away you deserve! I work local to Chattanooga as a freelance editor and artist, so I’m able to work from anywhere! My schedule is flexible most days, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I have plenty of experience caring for big dogs, small dogs, and cats, and am counting down the days until I’m able to have one of my own. Sadly, I’m not in a position to bring any pets home to my current residence, but that means I have lots of extra attention I can give to your pets while you’re away! Your routines and specific-to-you needs regarding your home and pets are important, and my goal is to make sure those needs are provided for. Whether you’re gone for the night on business or spending a week on vacation, don’t hesitate to reach out! I prioritize open communication, and you will receive regular updates while you’re away. Excited to hear from you!
“Alora took wonderful care of our two dogs, Dahlia and Ela! She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We came home to happy, relaxed pups—highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

“Catherine took amazing care of our cats (1 elderly and needs medication) while we were away and did a great job at keeping us updated. We look forward to using her again in the future!?”

About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“Emily is delightful! This was our first time hiring a sitter, we’ve always had friends or family step in before, but I needn’t have worried: our fur babies loved her! She sent adorable pictures and detailed and timely updates so we felt connected the whole trip. Way to go charming our super shy pup and medicating our geriatric kitty ❤️”

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals of any kind and have been consistently watching and taking care of the pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have special experience in the care of senior and disabled animals. I’m currently working part time, so for daytime care I will be available on week days from 2:30 pm - 9 pm. On weekends I will be available all day. I will do everything I can to ensure that your animal feels comfortable and at home, regardless of the services I am providing. I will take any instructions into careful consideration to provide the utmost sense of normalcy for your furry friends!
“Tommy did a wonderful job watching my girl Sadie. He did drop ins twice a day for me at my apartment while I was out of town recently since my dog does not do well boarding or around some other dogs and he always kept me posted with updates and pictures. Highly recommend Tommy as he follows up and is a big time dog lover.”


About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at MTSU currently home for the summer, and I’m working part time at the moment. This means that I am available often! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
About: Although I don’t have any training experience with animals, I’m very experienced in loving them! We as people don’t deserve these amazing animals but I believe in trying to give them what they do deserve! I’m a teacher wanting to get a fur baby of my own! I’m hesitant because of my day to day life but i’d love to give cuddles, affection and attention to your babies especially now that it’s summer! I currently have the sweetest 3 year old silver lab! In addition, growing up i’ve always been around animals. I want your baby to feel safe and comfortable so i’m open to anything I can do to achieve that! No rules or “weird” quirks will bother me! My fur baby at home has plenty of those:)
“I have 2 kitties, one being special needs with balance and mobility issues, and is also on medication daily. He requires a little extra care, so I am also concerned when using a new sitter. Nadine was phenominal!!! She asked all the right questions, during the meet and greet and was friendly with the kitties. You can definitely tell she genuinely loves animals. She sent lots of pictures, and sent me a visit report when the visit was done. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet boys!”


“Austin did a great job with our boys (cats). He went out of his way to look for them to be sure they were ok. We will definitely want to use Austin again knowing how well he cared for them”


“Nothing but good things to say! Our 4 legged kids love her & couldn't be more excited when she walks through the door. Goes above and beyond to make sure they are more than comfortable. Couldn't ask for a better sitter. Gives such great peace of mind!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor - a dependable, animal-loving sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. While I’m newer to Rover as a platform, I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and referrals, and I come with strong personal references and repeat clients outside the app. I understand that every pet is different. Some need high energy playtime and long walks, while others just want a calm, comforting presence and a good cuddle. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading animal behavior, which helps me adapt my care style to your pet’s needs. I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs with separation anxiety • Puppies and senior dogs • Administering basic medications • Maintaining routines and schedules • High-energy breeds that need structured activity I treat every pet as if they’re my own - with love, safety, and respect always coming first. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (EST). I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, and sitting around your pet’s routine. For weekday bookings, I do best with: • Morning visits before work • Evening visits after 5 PM • Overnight care with morning & evening routines • Weekend stays and extended care I’m communicative and reliable, and I’ll always be upfront about availability so there are no surprises. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while maintaining their normal routine. In Your Home I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and bedtime routine. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing well. This option is especially great for pets with separation anxiety, seniors, or pets who prefer their own space. In My Home Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m mindful of routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I only take on pets I can fully care for, ensuring your pet gets individualized attention—not just supervision. I prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions at all times.
About: Hello! I am a professional pet sitter. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. Currently I have a puppy and I’ve been taking classes for training her and I definitely love it!!!! I am very patient and I love to see all of the amazing things dogs are capable of! I really love dogs and I promise you I will take care of your dog like my own💛 I’m currently working part time and I am available every weekend to provide boarding and take care of your dog! I routinely take my puppy to parks on the weekends or go for walks around the neighborhood. I live in a house with a fenced yard! My living space is clean, and free of clutter perfect for a puppy that is mischievous. I also have an abundance of chewing toys as well as lots of tug of war toys and stuffed animals!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I have dog sat for multiple people whenever I was needed. I will walk and feed your pets and make sure they are taken care of when you can’t be there! My Services: 30 min dog walk: A nice stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail! Your pup need some good exercise and stimulation while you’re gone? I can help! 30 min drop in: Includes potty breaks, meals, play-time and of course plenty of snuggles! I work full-time with early hours (5 AM–1 PM), so I’m fully available most afternoons during the week. I’m currently in a master’s program in Mental Health Counseling at UTC, and I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability may vary slightly on those days. I also have a dog, Autumn, who loves being outside and going to the park. If your dog is pet-friendly and enjoys company, Autumn would love to join us as a playmate! Just let me know what works best for you. I live in an apartment so daycare/boarding are services I cannot offer currently. I am absolutely the right person if you need a dependable and affectionate dog-sitter or walker!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ooltewah stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ooltewah choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ooltewah with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
