“Alyssa was a great pet sitter. This is our first time having to leave a pet in someone else’s home for an extended stay. We were so pleased with her great communication during our time away. I could fully enjoy my vacation knowing our beloved pet was being well cared for. I highly recommend Alyssa and the Rover App to all of our friends.”
“My Izzee had such a great time with Tyler and his beautiful family. I could tell right away that they genuinely love dogs. I frequently visit Tn, would definitely rebook and refer Tyler, he was awesome! Thanks again !”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Absolutely wonderful! We have no doubt that Joey and Erin took excellent care and loved our two pups very much while we were out of town for a wedding. We are thrilled to know that we have them just around the corner for any possible future travels that we cannot bring our two furbabies along for. They gave us daily updates and photos. Thank you so much again!”
“Sandy did a phenomenal with our dog! She had just been spayed a few days before I had to leave her and I needed someone I could trust to keep an extra eye on her to make sure she was healing well and didn’t mess with her sutures. Sandy was the perfect sitter! Her clean, cozy home made my girl feel right at home! My dog loved her and Sandy sent photos while we were gone. She kept in contact with my during the week I was gone and I so appreciated that! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl! Will definitely use again!!”
“Misty took great care of Luna! I received updates on how she was doing along with pictures, which helped to put my mind at ease and I know my girl had a great time. We will definitely request with Misty for our next trip.”
“Scott and his son always take the best care of my pup! I take comfort in knowing that they care for her as one of their own, and that she gets to play and snuggle with them too just as she would at home.”
“Heather and her family were such a joy! They took amazing care of my dog, Doug and checked in regularly with thoughtful notes and pictures. Highly recommend this sweet woman.”

I have 2 cats in my home who will help keep your animal company. My kids share my passion, so your fur baby will get more than enough lovings!
“Brandon was very responsive and provided several pictures of our Golden Retriever during his stay and it looked like he had a blast. We trusted him with our pup and will definitely be using Brandon again!”
“This family was an absolute blessing to find to watch our Luna, she is an attention loving, playful girl, and we could not have found a better home for a weekend. 10/10 would recommend. The updates and pictures through out the weekend really eased any worries while out of state. Thank you and your family so much!!!”
“I could not have asked for a better person to watch our Rusty boy while we were away. Hayley was very communicative from the time we submitted a request, to the meet and greet process, up until the time we picked him up. Our flight was delayed a few hours coming home, and Hayley was very understanding and more than happy to keep Rusty a little longer than expected. We could tell he had so much fun and was so loved during his time with Hayley and her family. Thank you Hayley, Rusty can’t wait to come back and play again!!”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”

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 Rome home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rome.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rome 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
