About: I was an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. Now I am a veterinary assistant in school to be a veterinary technician. I have kennel experience and I foster dogs from rescues and shelters. I begin my new job July 6th so I am open to board/house sit/train. I will be working 8am-5pm at the local animal shelter as the veterinary assistant. So I can also train dogs after work. I was the dog trainer at Petsmart I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
“Viviana & Brian are exceptionally qualified with caring for our dog, and their property is beautiful and so dog-friendly. I feel so comfortable in leaving our dog with them.”
“We were very pleased with Dana, she sent pics of Bailey and kept us informed on how he was doing, from the pics that she sent to us, Bailey looked right at home and happy. Dana and her family took excellent care of our Bailey. We will definitely rebook with Dana if she’d love to have him back!”
“Jordyn was awesome!! We left our fur buddy with her and her partner for 3 and 1/2 days and he was so well looked after. She was great about communicating how he was doing and sent some great photos! Will definitely be booking with Jordyn again in the future!”
About: We have both grown up with dogs since birth! Our families have always owned them. <3 We have experience walking, bathing, feeding, & giving oral medications to dogs of all breeds, ages, & sizes. We have owned dogs with our families before marriage & have each dog sat for friends & family.🐶Avery has experience taking care of her family’s senior shitzu including taking him on walks in a doggie stroller, walks in grippy socks, & exercising him in a bathtub because it’s good for his joints. (: 🛁🐾 Layton is blessed to work from home so he is able to watch, hangout, & play with your fur baby all day! No need to worry about your pup having anxiety away from a human or being lonely. Avery gets home from grad school in the evenings. We are both home at night and on the weekends as well, we have very flexible schedules. We live in a dog friendly, gated apartment complex with a dog park, sidewalks, and lots of space so we can get our exercise in💪🐶🏃♀️. We do not own any pets so you do not have to worry about your dog getting along with another animal or vice versa. (: We do not own any crates and feel no need to, we love letting our previous pets and dogs we’ve sat for roam freely with us and get as many pets & scratches as they please. We allow dogs on our furniture, just let us know if they are prone to accidents/not fully potty trained. We can’t wait to make your fur baby feel right at home when you’re away!
“I can not say enough good things about Asia. She watched my dog when I went out of town and it was my first time using rover. She updated me the entire time and sent pictures of my dog and how she was doing. I would highly recomend her to anyone, she took care of her like she was her own. Thank you again it was really a stress free experience.”
“Kelley was very patient and caring with my two cats. It was a long stay and they were very shy at the start. She kept them safe and took care of their needs. She gave good updates on their progress and eventually gained their trust for some good pictures and belly rubs. I would recommend Kelley for boarding your pets. She does a great job!”

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 Philadelphia home-away-from-home, 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 Philadelphia.
<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 Philadelphia 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 , 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 .
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.
