“Again, our girls were well loved and cared for. Ladonna is creative and works hard to help with whatever issues a pet may have, from storms and eating habits to a crazy, intense game of chuck-it. So nice to return from vacation also to our home tidy and clean.”
“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”

“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Megan was wonderful. Such a blessing to have someone so sweet to take care of your fur baby. Megan sent pictures through out the day of our pup. It was so nice to see him happy. Would recommend her to anyone. Definitely going to use her again.”
“I entrusted Ami with my fur babies while my husband and I went out of town for a few days and she was wonderful!! Ami took great care of my babies and sent me updates throughout her stay at our home with them. I would have her watch them again and again if the need arises she is absolutely fantastic and very sweet! She went above and beyond while she stayed and my house was exactly as we left it. Ami was even kind enough to bring in our trash bins once trash was picked up. Thank you again Ami I know I left them in good hands and it made my time away so much less stressful knowing they had you to keep them company 😊”
About: I am a undergrad student heading into the veterinary field. I’ve had hands on experience by shadowing previous doctors! Becoming a pet sitter has become a side job as I am studying in Boston over the summer. This way I can grow my love for animals! I have a very flexible schedule! Friday’s- Mondays are days where I’m free anytime of the day. I also enjoy walking so having your pet along brings a wonderful company. To make sure your pet is happy and safe. All time divided shall be on your pet to ensure they have the greatest quality time.
About: Having grown up with dogs and cats, I’ve learned to work with different personalities. A house just doesn't feel like a home without at least one cuddly pet. My availability varies, depending on the time of year, but I do try to accommodate as much as I can. PS I have also helped care for goats & chickens, if your family has other pet needs...just ask. I am working mom, typically free after noon throughout the week. I am open to long term, set schedules, emergency drop ins, last minute needs. Just ask. I don't currently provide any boarding services. Please be aware of that before asking if I can bring your cat or dog to my home for care. Thank you for understanding.
About: Hello, my name is Anna! I am a registered nurse in Chattanooga. With my extra time, I would love to help take care of animals in our community while their parents are away. I have worked and volunteered with animals for years. Shoot me a message and we can get to know each other! I work Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm and have free time on most Saturdays and Sunday's. During the week I could do check-ins at 6am or after 5:45 pm. I am available many weekends. Our family has loved many cats over the years, and our latest kitty required fluid injections every other day and medications and ear ointment. I am used to providing detailed care and lots of love and play too. I am very organized, and that has been useful when pet sitting.
“Shamon was awesome! She watched my 2 dogs while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent me a lot of pictures and I could see she was taking great care of them, and my house while I was away! She has a passion for animals and it shows. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely have her back again! ?”
About: Very patient with all types of animals. Big house and yard to accommodate and make sure your animal has the best time away from you We always have an adult at the house as well as a room for crates. We have a Siberian husky and a cat and everyone is a big part of our family We treat everyone with respect and have a very clean and organized environment. Everything from feedings to daily walks are coordinated between myself and my fiancé April. We both are big pet lovers
“I’m really happy that I found Julie. She came to my house and stayed with my dogs, and obviously loves animals. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. The dogs did great with her. I would trust her to watch my animals anytime.”
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Exceptional Pet Sitter!** Elaina was absolutely wonderful! She is such a bright, cheerful, compassionate, and caring young woman, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She was very communicative throughout the entire time, providing plenty of updates and sending lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My main focus was making sure my dogs were well cared for, but she even managed to capture a glimpse of the cats, too!🐶🐱❤️ It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust to care for your fur babies as if they were her own. I truly appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and the care she provided. I will absolutely be using Elaina again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter! 🐾💕
Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ooltewah walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ooltewah maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .
