Such peace of mind to have Candace on pup duty. I know she pampers her own babies and we see she treats the clients the same. While we were away I did not need to give a moment’s thought as to our dogs’ well-being. Greatly appreciated all the detailed updates on the report cards and the added photos that let us know they were getting their personalized attention. Highly recommend Candice!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies all the way to senior pets. In addition to pet sitting, I am also a foster for a local animal rescue. Through fostering, I have gained experience working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds including shy, anxious and special-needs pets. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like a member of my own family, receiving of plenty of love, attention, playtime and affection. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to provide the consistent care that your animals need throughout the day. I have dogs of my own that are very friendly and love to play with the other animals that we care for when pet sitting. I also have a fenced in back yard as well as a front area that is fenced in so your animals have room to run and play while being safe and secure.

About: I’ve had a LOT of animals throughout my life to include fish, birds, dogs, chinchilla, guinea pigs, horses, goats and pigs. Ive been in the situation of needing a fur baby sitter while having to travel. I currently have 5 dogs and a cat. I’m in the process of creating a dog haven in my big back yard and have an air conditioned inside play/rest area for hot days. I work from home and have an open schedule. I travel some but I can usually adjust it when needed. Last minute requests for weekends are sometimes doable. I have five dogs so I do not stay overnight. I take my dogs on hikes almost daily, weather permitting. We also go shopping at pet friendly stores. I can do one on one visits or your pup can be part of the pack.

About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.

I work full-time during weekdays, but i am available for pet care in the evenings, Wednesday after 1:30, and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. ​I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. ​ ​I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. ​ ​When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.

About: I have definitely been able to take care of any kind of dog along with cleaning up after isn’t a problem for me, so if the dog is either too young or too old to be using the bathroom I can take care of that! I love dogs but I do have two cats and I take care of them daily, so I would love to help others not have to worry about their fur babies when they are at work, vacation and etc. I have a crate for dogs, and a fenced in area with a gate for bigger dogs! I also have a dog of my own to play with!

About: Since I’ve been a kid I’ve been around animals of all kinds. I have owned dachshunds, poodles, labs, and other animals. I love to take care of them. I work full time but I will be phasing more into pet care. Once I can get my facility built and inspected I will be able to board quite a few animals. I will make sure the animals are fed and watered. Depending on how long the watch is I’ll take them out however many times needed. I will also follow all instructions given by the owners.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience providing dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, and exotics of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including seniors and pets that require extra patience, routine, or medication support. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and comfort cues so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, feeding, walking, playtime, potty clean-up, and companionship, along with light home care and housekeeping while pet parents are away. I’m attentive to details, respectful of routines, and proactive about communication—because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a beloved pet. Above all, I truly love animals. I’m calm, nurturing, and observant, which helps pets warm up quickly and feel at ease. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and cautious, I meet them where they are and care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐶🐱💙 Since I don’t work a traditional 8–5 schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to be flexible and attentive to pets’ needs. I plan my schedule around pet visits to ensure consistency, reliability, and unrushed care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs and established routine. I value structure and communication, so I arrive on time, follow instructions carefully, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes. Whether your pet needs regular check-ins, companionship while you’re away, or extra attention during certain times of day, I’m intentional about making pet care a priority—not an afterthought. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I care for pets in their own home whenever possible, because familiar environments help reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household preferences. I’m attentive, observant, and respectful of both pets and property. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, food and water areas are clean, and litter boxes or outdoor spaces are properly maintained. I monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I practice calm, gentle handling and never force interactions—especially with shy, anxious, or senior pets. Trust is built through patience and consistency. I also provide updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or during short visits, my goal is to create a safe, peaceful environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and well cared for. 🐾💙

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockwood on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rockwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockwood. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
