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!
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.
“I needed a last minute drop in for my dog and cat while I was gone for the weekend and Arlayna got back to me promptly! She took great care of my babies and even sent several photos and a video despite it only being a 30 minute drop in. My pets were very happy when I came back, thank you so much!”
About: I have lots of experience with walking dogs, pet sitting, and doing detailed drop-ins. Ultimately, I care about the health and wellbeing of your family member because that’s exactly what they are, family. They deserve the best care possible and I am happy to provide them with the love and attention that they deserve. PET REIKI I can also offer additional reiki services for interested pet owners. This is an energy healing service that I can provide during Drop-Ins. This is great for senior dogs, pain relief, post-op healing aid recovery, or to enhance your pet’s excellent health and wellbeing. **NOTE: Book pet reiki under [bathing/grooming]. I currently have lots of free time and can do multiple drop ins a day if needed. I’m available 7 days a week and can become a consistent presence for your pup. I am extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I can handle all types of temperaments and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and wellbeing before anything else.
“She was amazing and so sweet to my dog Nala. This was the first time I left Nala and she was super scared but Alison was super calm with Nala and didn’t push her boundaries. I for sure recommend her!”
About: I’m an animal lover, through and through. I have two dogs of my own and often watch those belonging to family and friends. I live for seeing those smiling, fluffy faces! I’m currently looking for a summer job, and what better job than loving on and taking care of your pets? I can drop in whenever you need, just say the word! I have a fenced backyard, plenty of in-house space, and two beautiful dogs that I’m privileged to have in my family. I’ve raised the both of them from 8 weeks old to a happy and healthy 3 years and counting!
“Kristie was wonderful and very reliable! She did a great job watching our cat and giving her a pill every morning. She was very attentive, thorough, quick to respond, and provided frequent updates. I would 100% recommend her care and if I need a future sitter, I will go to Kristie. Thank you!”
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 or 5 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.
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.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ooltewah is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 849 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ooltewah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
