“Heather is my favorite sitter around! My pups are taken care of really well, she has great response time and keeps in communication while I am away. My dogs love her. Not my first time booking and definitely not my last! Thank you again and again and again!”
“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”
“Leah provided so many updates and details that it was as if I hadn’t even left my sweet Daisy behind. Leah & Wes and “the girls” welcomed Daisy with open arms and paws! I’m so glad we found this wonderful family to look after Daisy when we are away. Daisy came home happy and I know when we use Leah & Wes again she will be well taken care of!!”
“Super nice family and took great care of my pal! Very communicative and followed all instructions. Jennifer asked about what she did not know. A whole week flew by and my dog looked happy when I returned.”
“Very responsive and gave daily updates. Our dog came home happy and calm. She clearly trusted them both and was treated well on her visit. We would be happy to have them watch her again.”
About: At our home, dogs are treated like family not just pets. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where every dog receives personalized attention, plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. We understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so we take the time to learn their individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine and something we genuinely enjoy. Our schedule allows us to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. We build our day around the dogs in our care to ensure they maintain a consistent routine that closely matches what they’re used to at home. We have 3 children who love dog we have 2 dogs ourselves. We have new clean home and shortly will be installing brand new fence for the dogs to run around on a acre of property
“Bandit was very taken care of & super happy ! even walked down the stairs for the first time lol & I received multiple pictures/videos throughout the day. 10/10, thank you !”
About: Hi, I’m Leslie! I’ve had pets my entire life, so I understand how much trust it takes to place your dog in someone else’s care. I share my home with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. Caring for Bowie has made me especially attentive to the little things—changes in breathing, appetite, mobility, behavior, or comfort—and taught me how important it is to follow each dog’s individual routine closely. I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need extra patience or individualized attention, including seniors and dogs with special feeding, mobility, or medication. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable following detailed instructions. Although I’m not a veterinary professional, I am calm, observant, and serious about following owner and veterinarian guidance carefully. Whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, regular photos, and honest updates—because I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away. My daytime schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and boarding without rushing through visits. I plan each booking carefully so I can give your dog individual attention while maintaining their normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and rest schedule. For house sitting and extended stays, I’ll confirm timing and expectations with you before booking. For boarding and day care, dogs have supervised access to my fenced yard. My home is also shared with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. A meet-and-greet is important so we can make sure everyone is a safe and comfortable match. Guest dogs must be able to coexist safely with both dogs and cats. Introductions are gradual and closely supervised. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, crating, leashing, sleeping arrangements, and household boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their routine and their space. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and care instructions and provide updates throughout the visit. I’m especially mindful of heat sensitivity, breathing limitations, and mobility needs in flat-faced, senior, and special-needs dogs.
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“Michelle and her husband were the sweetest. We did a meet and greet so my nervous dog would be familiar with them and their home. They made him feel right at home. I wasn’t worried about my dog for a second. I knew he’d be in good hands. A yard to play and people to love on him.”
“Odette took wonderful care of my Frenchie. Her communication was great, she kept me updated me multiple times throughout the day with pictures and took care of my dog like her own. Thank you, Odette!”
About: I have pet sit my whole life. I love animals of all kinds and am happy to provide love and care to your fur babies. I work full time, but will be able to tend to the pets every 4-8 hours. I take daily walks so your dogs will get plenty of exercise with me! I have a fenced in yard and do not have pets in the home. I have plenty of room for the animals to roam free. I am also capable of handling pets with medical issues.
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Asia has kept our 1 year goldendoodle several times now and we’ll keep coming back! Penny loves being with her and she takes exceptional care of her. Asia takes Penny on so many wonderful walks and keeps us updated several times a day. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“I absolutely LOVE ABrianna and Ruff Runs!!!! She will be the ONLY ONE we will use as long as we are here!!! She's so caring and simply amazing with my babies so I can only imagine how she is with other people's babies!!! Whenever we go off and leave our 4 legged furry hoomans ? with her we're almost afraid that they won't want to come back home to us after being there and having such a great time there!!! If you need someone great and AMAZING to watch, or come visit your dogs......ABrianna is the person for you!!!!!”
About: I have experience with all types of animals including cats, dogs, birds, and more. I have been pet sitting for 8 years for neighbors and friends. I currently work 6 am- 2 pm but my hours are somewhat flexible so I may be available for morning if needed. Afternoons and evenings preferred I am unable to accommodate pets in my home unless they are kept in an enclosure. During home visits I typically adhere to instructions by the owner and always enjoy bonding with pets that I visit on a frequent basis.

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.
98% of sitters in Port Royal 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 Port Royal 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 Port Royal.
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 Port Royal. On Rover:
- 91% 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 Port Royal 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.
