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 before 9:00 am or from 4:30 pm onward. 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!
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She sent photos every visit, and was very kind and understanding when I accidentally sent her on a wild goose chase to a wrong apartment on the other side of town. Will definitely hire her again! She was great with both of our kitties, and even cleaned the apartment a bit for us.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a child. Caring for pets has been a constant and there are always more pets to care for in life. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get more active during the day or have some diversification in my day. If you’re sitting in an office chair from 8 to 5 this can really be a highlight! I am clean/ tidy and can keep to whatever schedule you have already set up for your pet. I can sleep at your home or drop in.
“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
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!
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and enjoy playing with and caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as needed. I don’t own a dog at present but that’s only because a couple of our cats are really particular :) I’m flexible most of the time and willing to prioritize the care of your pet and would enjoy the chance to befriend your dog or cat. I am often called a pet whisperer and am happy to spend whatever time necessary to build trust with your furry friends so that I can provide the care they need in your absence.
About: I don’t have a lot of experience with professional pet care but I do have a loving heart and care for animals and I can’t wait to spend time with them I’m available a lot of time throughout the week, just message me and we can find a time that works best for you as well as me I will feed, walk, clean, or even overnight stays depending on availability, I can and will take care of any and all pets as I love animals so much
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently a full-time student at Chattanooga State, which gives me flexible schedule. I’m available in the mornings or evenings and can come by in between classes. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with fenced-in yard and three friendly dogs. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and can easily crate or separate pets when needed.
About: I grew up with dogs, but always did the animal care for neighbors. I have given basic care to livestock (horses, cows etc.), birds, cats, and various other animals. During the summer months I'm working for fish and wildlife. Now that the season is over I am looking to make your life easier by giving the best care to your pet. Whether your leaving for work, pleasure, or family. You deserve a peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for. My policy is I must meet you and your pet before providing services. Everyone needs to be comfortable. Please let me know anything about the pet such as places they don't like to be pet. My cat has a routine and that's how I like to keep it. I prefer to go to clients home so their pet is more comfortable. Willing to house a small dog. I do live on the 3rd floor could be hard for an senior dog
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Jenny was awesome! She was so great with our dogs and went the extra mile to send us pictures and videos each time she let them out/played with them! We would absolutely recommend her and use her services again!”
About: I am a stay at home mom. Our beloved dog cocoa passed away after 13 years with us. We have four children (9,7,5,3) they love helping me care for dogs we watch. They mostly help with giving lots of love and hugs. We have been helping folks through Rover for over a year and enjoy having many repeat dog watching requests. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom. Your pet would have many loving arms to be loved with. Our family loves caring for pets. We plan on owning a pet of our own in the future. I have a fenced-in large yard to accommodate for outdoor time and close to dog park for walking. I feel comfortable around larger dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable.
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.
“LaDonna took great care of our kitty. Chloe was happy and content and her old self when we returned. Thank you for caring for our girl while we were away for the holidays!”
About: I have owned pets my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old German Shepard named Brutus who is the apple of our eye! I believe that pets are extended family and I will treat your fur family members like my own, with love, respect, and care! I also am experienced with caring for chickens! I am a stay at home mom so I am extremely flexible! I am able to work around your needs and adjust to my own schedule! Our yard is fenced in at home and our German Shepard is crate trained and knows all basic commands, as well as a fabulous frisbee athlete! I will care for your pets at your home how you treat them so that they are familiar with routine and comfortable with me. I can do a prior meet and greet as well to make sure we are both a good fit for each other.

Nadine is wonderful and someone we will absolutely reach out to for future trips. She was great in keeping us informed of her visits with multiple pictures and very responsive to questions. We are so thankful for the attentive care she gave to our fur babies!
Miranda was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Darcy. She took time to meet with us prior to booking and answered all of our questions. She was on time and great with communication and pictures. Very reliable, would absolutely book with her again and again.
Catherine M. has been taking care of our two kitties, Whiskers and Saphira. She has notified me and sent me photos every time she has been to the house. Whiskers is already sitting on her lap and snuggling with her. She has been amazing, professional and very friendly. I would recommend her to anyone!

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.

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 .
