“Ashley was flexible with drop off/pickup time frames and communicated quickly. I’m always anxious leaving my pup behind but felt comfortable and confident leaving her in Ashley’s care. I would have preferred more pics during the stay but I understand sometimes it could be forgotten.”
“Jessica is great and you can tell she and her family really love dogs. My puppy doesn’t sleep well at other houses but she made it work for him at her house. So glad I could leave on vacation but still feel good about my puppy knowing he was having a good time and well taken care of.”

About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
“Lucas was great! He was accommodating, kind, and Mia seemed super happy to have Lucas’s dog as a friend ❤️Also had a backyard where the dogs could run in and out of the house. Thanks!”
“Our pups had a great time with Ann. She has a great place for pups to run around and be comfortable and she sent updates throughout the boarding. Ann had everything packed up for us and ready to go when it was time to pick up. Highly recommend!”
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
About: I specialize in special diets, feeding schedules, and making sure fresh water is always available. I’m especially comfortable with nervous, reactive, and human-aggressive dogs and give them the patience and space they need to feel safe. I keep tons of toys around to find what makes each pup happy. Want to play? Let’s play! Want to snuggle? Absolutely! Want to sit across the room and stare at me? 😂 That works too! As long as they’re fed, happy, safe, and have gone potty outside, we’re doing just fine! ❤️ I work Monday through Friday and I’m home every evening and every weekend Dogs will get lots of FreePlay and access to potty with a safe fenced in area and all the toys they could dream of! My job allows me to take pets to work with me so that is always an option for your animals. If they are people friendly to work in my store I do also offer in pigeon Forge day visits on Wednesdays or I will keep your pet at my store from 10 AM until 7 PM and you can drop off and pick up with confidence of knowing your pay is safe and taken care of and well loved! Dogs have free run of the house when I’m home large crates when I’m not they’re allowed on furniture I can accommodate special diets easily! Animals are not left alone outside. I have a large porch and room for them to potty and play!
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
“This is our pup’s first stay with Tami and it was a great experience! We met with Tami prior to the stay via FaceTime as she wanted to meet us and our pup, we felt totally comfortable with her and knew he’d be in good hands. The original stay was for 2 nights but something came up and we needed to add a night and at wasn’t an issue, Tami was very accommodating. The drop off/pick up was flawless as well. We look forward to utilizing Tami’s services again. 5 Stars!!!”
“April was amazing! We liked her the first time we met her! Bandit was treated so well! Bandit is an older dog and had some issues while he stayed with her! She handled them like a champ! She also gave him his medications! We would highly recommend April to anyone that needs pet care! 🐾”
“This was our second time using Jordyn as a sitter. She has been super easy to work with and I can tell that my dog is in great hands! Ginger was so excited when we pulled in the driveway and could not get in the door fast enough which says a lot!!! Thank you!!!”
“We were a first timer with Rover and decided to select Becky W as our sitter who agreed to take care of them at our home. Becky did an outstanding job caring for our two sweet Lhasa Apsos! We are forever grateful for the communication, sending photos and providing updates including videos during her time with them. It gave us great relief feeling that they were being well cared for. Thank you Becky for making this experience a great one! It truly reduced the stress and helped us have even a better time knowing our babies were in great hands. We will be sure to reach out again when we need a sitter! Thank you so much and God bless.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Frankie! He came home absolutely tuckered out and exhausted, so I know he had a fantastic time playing and getting plenty of exercise.

We love Vivianna! Sweet, sweet lady who is SO good with dogs. We were able to leave our dogs and go out of the country and did not worry about them. We saw from the 100’s of photos that they were doing well. We appreciate all her efforts in taking care of our babies.

There are 418 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockford. About 93% of Rockford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
