“Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!”
“Our dogs really enjoyed their stay and even made a new bestie. Season is very friendly and attentive. She always responded immediately when we checked in on our dogs and sent us updates/pictures during their stay. We will absolutely leave our dogs with her again. Drop off/pick up was fast and easy. Highly recommend Season.”
“OMG! WOW! Melissa is the best ever. She coddled our dogs Zena (Goberian) and Maddie (Siberian Husky) with love and care. You don't get this kind of care boarding at a Kennel. We hope she will have our babies in the future. There is good, better and best, but Melissa was outstanding!”
“Our buddy came home worn out from all the play! They even cared enough to come down at night to lay by my dog, who struggles with stairs, to comfort him. 10/10 highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, and I've trained my own pup from just a few weeks old into a well behaved companion. I often house-sit and watch the animals of friends and family, because they trust me to take good care of their things, and this has given me experience with all different types of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I set my own work schedule and work from home when I want to, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’m also very active, walking or running around 5 miles a day, and love keeping the dogs active too! We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard, shared with our 1-year-old neutered pup, Bo! We can separate dogs if needed, and I love staying active with multiple walks and plenty of playtime throughout the day!
“Tyler is a kind and caring pet sitter for Holly. She did pretty well there. Tyler cared for her pre-existing paw wound very well. He treated Holly as his own and sent photos to us regularly. Tyler is great with dogs and thorough in their care and enjoyment. He communicates promptly and gives all his love to the dogs.”
“Jennifer (and her husband) were very welcoming, accommodating and accepting when we first met in their home. My daughter, who just turned fourteen and is usually shy with strangers, felt very comfortable meeting them. As for our Yuki, he felt right at home and began exploring and making friends with their pup as well. I received photos that showed our puppy happy and playful. He was well taken care of and I would gladly use Jennifer’s services again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home where your pet will be loved and well taken care of!”
“Megan did a fantastic job watching Echo! She provided lots of updates with pics and videos throughout the stay. Quick to respond to all messages as well. We will absolutely look to book her again for future stays!”
“How did we get so lucky? Amy and her sweet family took such great care of our dog when we were on vacation. They were the perfect surrogate family for him with a bonus playmate, Scarlet! We are so appreciative to have found them and would recommend them to others! She also sent pics daily!! Thank you!!”
About: I have a large, fully fenced backyard and work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and easy potty breaks throughout the day. My friendly 70-pound Golden Retriever loves to play, too. Your pup may even make a new best friend! I do have a 4 year old daughter who loves dogs. Please let me know what your dogs temperament with kids is. I work from home and make sure my own dog gets at least two walks every day, but more often three or four. Between walks, there’s a huge, fully fenced backyard for fresh air, playtime, and room to explore. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and company from my playful Poppy, too! I provide a warm, attentive home environment where dogs get lots of company and care throughout the day. I work from home, so I’m available for regular potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to crate if that is needed. I make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need.
“Raleigh had a wonderful time with Sophia! She kept us updated with lots of photos! She was a pleasure to communicate with and we appreciate her family taking such good care of our boy!”
“Nicole has completed both drop in visits for our cats and cared for our dog in her home. She’s always very attentive to their needs and lets us know how they are doing. We trust our animals in her care and will definitely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poplar Top
Alexa went above and beyond. My dog can be very anxious and she did everything she could to make her feel at home. She was lovely and picked up/dropped off for me. Alexa treated my girl like her own and took her to the vet when she needed it without hesitation and kept me in the loop the whole time. I can't thank her or recommend her highly enough!!!!!!

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Poplar Top can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Poplar Top 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 Poplar Top.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poplar Top. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Poplar Top 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
