“Shawna and Tony are lovely. Shawna took the time to sit, talk and get to know me and Kobe. She was flexible with the time change I needed after I submitted the booking. She provided updates on my little guy. I would highly recommend and book again!”

“Brent and Kaitlin are the best!! I have a dog with high anxiety and they take the best care of her and make her feel so comfortable. We fell on hard times and asked Kaitlin to watch our Sandy on very late notice and she did it without hesitation. They have watched sandy twice and I will always send her back over there in the future. They are the best!!”

“Pam was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our 11-year old Frenchie. She was so loving and kind, and was so patient with her as she’s not the easiest dog! She was great at communicating and sending us updates and photos. Absolutely recommend Pam and her wonderful family and we hope to book again with her in the future!”

“Maggie and Michael were amazing!! They took great care of my very energetic dog! They sent pictures and updates everyday to keep me in the loop! Benji came home happy and exhausted! Would definitely book again!”

“Kylie is truly a pet lover! She went above and beyond in taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated him like her own. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Kylie!”

“Isabella (and family) took such good care of our pup, Dodge, this weekend. This is the first time leaving him with a sitter and she took away all our concerns with daily pictures and sweet updates. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a sitter and would happily recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Isabella!”

“Pawlie LOVES being at Sherri and Bobs! He runs right out of the car and to the door when we arrive. They are my go to sitters and I know Pawlie is in the best care with them!”

“Kenny took care of my sweet girl Elsie. He kept us updated with videos and pictures for the 18 days that he watched her. I will definitely have Kenny watch my fur baby in the near future. Thank you again Kenny and his fur babies. ☺️”

“Krista kept my black lab (Charlie) for almost two weeks while we were on a long vacation. She also went to my home for several drop-in visits with my cats during that same time. We were so blessed to find her! She took such good care of all the animals and communicated with me throughout their time with her, sending me pictures and reassuring me that all of them were doing well. Charlie loved Krista and all three of her kids. He fit right into their home and family. Even my cats came to visit and enjoy the attention during check-ins with them. I highly recommend Krista. She is understanding, reliable, and very accommodating with individual situations. We will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Charlie and a caregiver for our kitties on future vacations and other times we need to be away from home.”

“Salma M. took great care of my dog while we were on vacation. I really appreciated that she was able to take her last minute. Salma is very kind and loving towards animals and also very friendly. My dog was also able to get a bath while there which was an added bonus.”
“Once again, Chandra has taken very good care of our little Shuri! Thank you so much for being so reliable and for providing such great care! We never have to worry when we leave her with you and your family!”

“Denise is responsive, flexible, communicative, and most importantly she took great care of my two girls (1 and 13 yrs old). I like that she dedicated a room in her home that's a nice, spacious, and clean area for the dogs to sleep, play, and eat. I'd book again!”

“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”

“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”


“Glen is my go-to guy for dog boarding. He has watched Sidekick a couple of times. She loves his place because there are friends to play with and a nice big yard! I love it too because he seems to be available most of the time and flexible with pickup and dropoff times. He and his wife are very nice.”

“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”

“Our little guy was in the best of hands with Simone! Daily pics and communication from her put our mind at ease and we were grateful for the one on one attention he was given. If there were more than 5 stars, we would give them!”

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care that my two dogs received from Callee. Leaving them in her care was an absolute pleasure. One of my dogs has epilepsy, requiring regular medication, and she handled it with absolute professionalism and care. The regular updates she sent eased my mind while I was away. It was evident that she not only took care of their physical needs but also nurtured their happiness and well-being. I highly recommend Callee to anyone seeking a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter. My dogs returned home happy, healthy, and undoubtedly looking forward to their next visit!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rockvale is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,164 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rockvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Rockvale 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 Rockvale home-away-from-home, 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 Rockvale.
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.
You and your Rockvale 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 , 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 .
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.
