“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“We love using Brandi. She sends picture updates daily and lets us know how our pup is doing. Sadie loves going to stay with Brandi’s family, playing and snuggling with her dog and her kids.”
“Best sitter ever!! She's so accommodating! Her home has a great open floor plan and is off the road. She has kennels for those who need/like them but for my boy, the whole family treated him just like we do! He is 4 and has never been away from us, so this was scary, but he acted completely happy and that gave us peace to enjoy our vacation!! I could see his joy in the pictures she sent us. Thank you Echo!! We can't wait to use you again!!”
“Another great stay with Megan! I was updated several times a day on how my girls were doing. I got photos along with an update. Definitely recommend Megan and Chris.”
“Thank you for watching Holli for me! Not sure she wanted to come home. She was happy and calm when she came home. I would recommend you to all my friends! Thank you for caring for my little Holli!”
“I cannot recommend Destiny highly enough. From the moment I first met her, I could immediately tell she had a warm, gentle, and genuinely kind spirit—the exact calm, reassuring energy I knew my anxious dog needed. Leaving a nervous pet in someone else’s care is never easy, but Destiny put all my worries to rest right away. She has an intuitive, patient approach to animals, understanding how to meet them at their own pace without pushing boundaries. Under her watchful and affectionate care, my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and settled. Destiny is dependable, communicative, and truly attentive to every little routine and detail. It is rare to find someone who combines true professionalism with such heartfelt compassion. Anyone would be extraordinarily lucky to have Destiny care for their four-legged family member, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Pam was incredible! We had a different sitter booked and they cancelled on the last minute so we needed to secure someone to care for our wild dog very quickly. From the first interaction, Pam was responsive, confident, and calm. She provided regular updates, asked questions when needed, and I was confident Benji was in good hands.”
“Rachel was absolutely fantastic and I am very lucky to have found her to watch my kitty while I was out of town. She sent me unprompted photos daily which I really appreciated. It was so nice to be away knowing my cat was in good hands. The next time I go out of town, she will be the first person I’d reach out to if I need a pet sitter.”
“Crystal helped me with a short notice boarding request. She was great with communication during the stay. When I picked my dog up, she was happy and healthy. No problems. Thanks so much.”
“Joe was amazing with both of my dogs. He can handle my big german shepherd and my little pug. He provided pictures and updates throughout their boarding and had many activities for them to keep them entertained. He gave them their special diet and provided medication to my shepherd and they were happy and healthy on my return. I will be using Joe again whenever I need to board my dogs.”
“Sara worked great with our dogs! Her own dog and cat also got along well with my fellas. She had good control of them without being g heavy handed. Seemed quite loving to them.”
“My cat Willow had such a great time! I loved getting pictures everyday to see how she was doing. She was cared for so well! I’m so glad there’s someone close by that I can trust to help out with my animals!!”
About: I currently have a bloodhound and 4 cats, as well as a foster dog. My had my last dog for 15 years, so I am very experienced in senior dog care. Old doggos have a special place in my heart. I am self employed so I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can usually work around anything that might be needed or come up. I have a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door so dogs have constant access to the back yard. I also walk dogs 1-2 times a day.
“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.”
“Stephanie took GREAT care of our two pups, and it gave us peace of mind to know that they were in such good and caring hands while we were away for a full week. Great communication, great caregiving, happy pups -- highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Palmer 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 Palmer.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Palmer 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.
