“Brandi and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and had great communication. I felt completely confident our dog was safe and taken care of. Our dog was a little dramatic with their sweet older dog and Brandi was so kind navigating that (was totally our dog’s fault).”
“Karie was amazing! My dog has separation anxiety, and after just moving to TN, she made sure my dog was happy and comfortable. Frequent updates and extremely responsive.”
“I hate leaving Barkley when he is out of town but he seems really happy when he stays with Megan. She sends picture updates and it’s nice to know he is well taken care of and loved while we are out of town.”
“Lucy had a terrific time with Giulia and her husband. We regularly received numerous photos each day. We highly recommend Giulia for your dog's next stay. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I’m experienced caring for all kinds of dogs, from high-energy breeds like GSPs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to laid-back pups who are happiest lounging by your side. I’m also comfortable caring for medically complex dogs, including dogs with seizures, injuries, and daily medication needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute pet care needs. I have a fenced-in yard and easy access to trails right behind my house, so pups can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether they’re up for a long adventure in the woods or just a quick romp around the yard. I’m happy to work with each dog’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and individual quirks or needs. Whether caring for a pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
“I’ve left my dog with Jaxen multiple times, everytime my dog has had a blast! I’ve never had to worry about him while he’s staying with her. Will definitely be booking with her for all our future boarding needs!”
“Christina and Brent were fabulous with our dog! You can definitely tell they are dog people through and through. They treated her like it was their own dog, and gave us awesome updates! We will definitely use them again!”
“Justin was able to take Eleanor last minute and even squeezed in a drop in visit to make sure she was comfortable with him before her stay. She can take a minute to warm up to new people but he quickly put her at ease. He was also great with communication throughout the weekend. We came home to a very happy and tuckered out dog!”
“I am SO glad we found Kristen! We boarded our dog Rosie for almost a week and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Prior to booking and leaving Rosie on her first day, Kristen was very attentive and made sure everyone was calm and comfortable in the new environment. Then she sent plenty of pictures of everyone happy and healthy playing in the HUGE backyard. It's a relief knowing that we have someone to care for Rosie, where she'll get love and exercise, if we're ever out of town!”
“Malia is very sweet! She made my dogs experience wonderful while I was gone for the holidays. My dogs were spoiled rotten and they were so happy when I picked them up.”
“Joslynne took great care of my fur baby! She was easy to work with, accommodating, and communicative. She even sent me pics of Lola while we were apart. Highly recommend! Will be a repeat customer 😊”
About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and love having them around. We have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever of our own who is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. At least one of us is always around to keep your dog company and provide supervision. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and downtime. We understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and we’ll make sure yours feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. My husband works remotely, and I work part-time. Between the two of us, at least one is always home to provide supervision, company, and attention. We can fit walks, playtime, meals, and rest into our daily routine while following your pet’s usual schedule. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play, as well as a crate available if needed or preferred. We also have a friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever. We’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they have a comfortable environment. We’re happy to discuss any specific needs or preferences before their stay.
“Holly and Joe went the extra mile to make my little buddy comfortable. Bodie‘s anxiety got the best of him, and they sacrificed sleep and inconvenience to make sure he was safe. Your dog is in good hands with Holly and Joe!”
“Kept me informed about my little Boston daily. With pictures and videos, I didn't feel as isolated from him as I had anticipated I would be.I saw he was enjoying his walks and cuddling and visiting the outdoors. Boston was on medications and Terri kept me informed of his progress. Thanks!”
“Katie rocks! She took the best care of our two fur babies, one senior and one rambunctious two year old. She has a great set up with a big fenced in yard, and a friendly pup of her own who played so well with both of our dogs who have opposite play styles. We highly recommend her, and would love to book with her again!”
About: I have four pets of my own and know how challenging it can be to find care you can trust. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, and am adept at giving medicines, walking, house sitting, and engaging play. I value your animals as I expect my sitters to value my own.! I am a teacher Monday-Friday during the school year from 7am-2:30 pm, but I am happy to do drop in visits before and/or after school during the week and on the weekends I have full availability. I do offer house sitting as long as any family is ok with their pet/s being alone during the day while I am at my other job. On the weekends they would have my full attention unless I am at a drop in. Summers I have wide open availability. I am happy to visit your pet as often and long as needed during those time frames. Because I have two large dogs of my own, I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I provide feeding, walking, medicine-giving, litter box cleaning, stimulating play, and really any specific needs your pet may have.
“Such an amazing family! It was so nice to meet her and feel the love of her family. Dropping my dog off there I knew he would be cared for with lots of attention. I appreciated how detailed and honest Brooke’s updates were. It is nice to know exactly what is going on along with pictures and updates on the goofy things my dog does. Of course I missed him, but I was not worried. I knew he was in good hands. I will absolutely trust Brooke and her family again. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgeside
Pam was amazing! You can tell she was good with animals just at our first interaction. London wasn't anxious when she came home and she can be after leaving a vet, sitter, hair cut etc. London's is almost blind and almost deaf and 15 so I was a little nervous leaving her. I'm glad I did. she worked with my schedule and sent me pics of my baby while I was away. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!
We have used Crista multiple times to watch our pup Leonard. He loves when he gets to stay with her and always comes home happy and tired for playing! She is always very communicative. She sends daily updates with pictures and videos. If your dog loves to play and hang with other dogs Crista is the right option. I would recommend Crista to anyone.
Tamia is a treasure! She took care of my two elderly mini dachshund boys for 5 nights, and they thrived with her and her little son. She is an awesome person, and I truly feel that I have found a friend. We could not have hired a better pet sitter, and I will definitely use her again. I recommend her without reservation.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Ridgeside 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 Ridgeside 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 Ridgeside.
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 Ridgeside. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Ridgeside 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.
