“We have an 18-week old lab puppy named Sully who just returned from his 4-night sleepover with Jessica and her family. Being new puppy parents we are very protective of our little guy, and did quite a bit of research on Rover for a care giver, which is what led us to Jessica. Jessica let us have a meet and greet with her and her boxer Tucker before Sully’s stay which really gave confidence to our decision. During Sully’s stay we got tons of pictures and videos of our little man playing in the yard with Tucker and the kids. Jessica and her family made Sully a part of their ‘pack’ during his stay. He had such a great time, and was shown so much love and attention that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us. We are so happy Sully found these new friends, and have already booked his stay for our next trip. It is so comforting knowing our Little Man is cared for with as much love and attention as we give him. Thank you Jessica and family!”
“Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!”
“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”
“Joseph is the best! He is so flexible and literally saved our last minute trip with this recent booking. He is and will continue to be our go to sitter for our girl!”
“I’ve had April and Rob watch my Australian cattle dog twice, and they’re extremely reliable, communicative and are obvious animal lovers! The second time I brought Mochi to their home he got SO excited to see his new friend (their dog) Remi again he pretty much forgot I existed and bolted out the car door! Highly recommend.”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Alexis and Alexzander were absolutely wonderful with our puppy! They are so kind and true animal lovers. They were patient with our very shy dog and she warmed up to them instantly. Our pup was in the very best hands. They sent photos and updates and we knew they loved her like their own! We are so appreciative. Lovely people and highly recommend!”
“Kaylee is an answer to my prayers for my collie, Lassie. In every way! Lassie stayed with Kaylee for a week, never having been away from me before. Kaylee devoted full attention to Lassie's every need, and took excellent care of her! The multiple pictures she sent every day were such a pleasure to receive and a great comfort to me! I couldn't have found anyone better than Kaylee. Her care of Lassie was perfect. I never have to search again! Thank you, Kaylee!”
“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!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Tami was wonderful with my young rescue who had separation anxiety. Tami has extensive experience with different personalities and I am grateful for her patience and understanding of my dog.”
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“I cannot thank Becky enough for taking such great care of my girl! I have never left Baylee with anyone other than family so I was very nervous. Becky let me come over for a meet and greet, was very flexible with my schedule and kept me updated with pictures and videos all throughout the day. It was very apparent that Baylee felt comfortable and was happy to be at Becky’s house. Thank you SO much Becky for making this a great experience! Will definitely be using you again! ❤️”
“Summer and her family were great for our two dogs. They sent tons of pictures, gave lots of love to them, and our dogs didn’t even want to leave their house at the end of our trip. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone!”

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.

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.
