“I can’t recommend them enough. My husband and I were really not able to do much because Ryder has separation anxiety. Charlie and Casey sent us updates through out the day and our baby looked so relaxed and happy. I definitely will not use anyone else. Thanks Charlie and Casey.”

“Jeanie was awesome to work with! She took our dog, Penny, on short notice. She was very engaging with us and responded to all of our questions in a timely manner. She made us feel very comfortable leaving Penny with her for the week. She continually updated us with pictures and short commentary about Penny’s stay. We could tell through the updates that Penny was enjoying herself. Penny is usually very reserved around strangers but she took to Jeanie very quickly. We would not hesitate to bring Penny back!”

“Chungking and her family go above and beyond what you would expect for your fur baby’s care. I have a high maintenance dog and he stresses when he’s left at a sitters house and chews his paws. They made sure his paws were cleaned, dried and wrapped to keep him from chewing on them. And since he had to wear a cone, they were very diligent about making sure he stayed hydrated and fed. Hands-down the best pet sitters I’ve ever used. They also have a spectacular grassy backyard with a high fence. Can’t praise them enough!”

“Super satisfied with my booking with Ashley. It was my first time using Rover for my senior doggie out of the country, and Ashley made it such a smooth and worry-free process. She was very flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, and she sent picture updates throughout the week. I was nervous about being away from my dog for the first time in the 15 years I've had her, but Ashley's quick responses and communication eased my worries very quickly. Definitely recommend!”

“Melissa exceeded my expectations! Yumi doesn’t usually feel comfortable around people she doesn’t know, but she absolutely loved Melissa from day one. Melissa kept me updated throughout her stay, including her meals, walks, treats, and how she slept at night. Everything went so smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing Yumi was in such good hands. I’ve had other experiences on Rover, but Melissa is definitely the best sitter we’ve had. I’m sure Yumi is already looking forward to staying with her again soon! 🐾❤️”

About: I've been taking care of 4 legged animals since I was 6 years old. I am able to understand animals body languages and feel out their vibe and match it I am looking for employment so they might be left alone for some time but I have a partner who works from home and can look out for them I have an unfenced yard, 5 dogs and 4 cats. Everyone gets along but take a second to warm up and get the excitement out

“Yu very responsive to emails Daily pics, and/or videos  Harley enjoyed his stay with Yu. There is a big fenced in backyard for Halrey, and Yu's 2 dogs to play in. My dog has been in the shelter several times, and I like that Harley was able to roam freely, and not spend a lot of time locked up in a kennel. Yu's home provides that, along with the benefit of only boarding one dog at a time. Yu was very responsive to any messages I sent, and sent daily messages, pics, and/or videos. When Harley needs a place to stay in the future, Yu will be my first choice.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rocky Top 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 Rocky Top.

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 Rocky Top 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.
