“Great dog sitter! Teresa kept me updated throughout my whole weekend away. She sent pictures and took my dog on hikes. She took great care of my dog. I would highly recommend Teresa as a dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out if I need a dog sitter again. Thanks Teresa!!”
“Bonnie came to visit before our trip so we could meet before we left. She sent a photo of the pets when she arrived and more photos each day we were gone. When we came home the house was as we left it and pets were happy. We never had to worry. We’ll definitely reach out to her first next time we need a pet sitter!”
“ALLIE IS AMAZING!! Our frenchie’s and indoor cat LOVE her and we are so thankful to have her part of our lives. We never have to worry about them when we have to be away because we know they are being well loved and cared for. She also is very reliable and gives detailed feedback and daily reports. Last, Allie is an amazing pet photographer and very knowledgeable about canine and feline health. You can’t go wrong with Allie, we highly recommend her!”
“Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.”
“Wanda did an excellent job watching our house and three kitties while we were away for five days. She followed their detailed mealtime instructions, played with them, kept them company, and kept us updated about them. Our house was super clean when we got back too! Highly recommend her as a trustworthy communicative cat lover & sitter!”
About: Your dog’s comfort and joy come first. I bring years of experience and a genuine love for pups to make every visit fun, safe, and worry free! As a stay at home mom, I love spending my days caring for pets, going on walks, and visiting the horse barn. Pets easily fit into my daily routine, and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether it’s in my home or yours. I follow routines, rules, provide food, water, supervision, and lots of play time. In your home I respect your space while giving updates to build trust.
“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
About: I was a dog groomer for 5 years so I am expert in understanding animal’s languages and needs. I’m kind, responsible and dedicated to making you and your pet feel comfortable. I know how hard it can be to trust your babies with someone new! I am in between jobs so I currently have full availability! I have a chihuahua who is very low maintenance at home, so I have plenty of time and energy to care for others. I'm here to follow the routine your dog is expecting! I want them to be comfortable and happy. Any special requests or specific needs will be accommodated. I can also accommodate reactive dogs - I have personal experience with them and understand their needs/quirks.
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of Toby and Tigger. Care love and time. James went above and beyond. I appreciate everything he did for my babies. I had total peace of mind while I was traveling. Thank you James.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight, I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine! I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away and truly believe that keeping pets in their home environment helps them adapt to temporary changes. I do my best to gain trust with new animals through slow and gentle movements and tone of voice, and I am patient in letting your pets warm up to me.
“I can’t thank Ryan enough for taking such good care of Blue while I was away. He kept me updated with pics and messages which was much appreciated! Ryan is also a good communicator, dependable, and follows instructions. His calm demeanor also helps keep Blue’s excitable nature in check! 😄. Blue was a happy, healthy boy when I returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to request Ryan again in the future!”
About: Hey! I'm Darby, I have 6 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Pet sitting was the fist way I discovered I could make money when I was in middle school, and I still love it to this day! I have about 1.5 years of experience working as a trained veterinary technician. This means that I am comfortable working with special needs animals, providing special diets, and administering medication. I am also familiar working with animals that may be anxious. Right now, I'm studying animal biology at The University of Tennessee, working at an exotic animal clinic, and am starting to apply for veterinary school. Relevant Classes: Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular & Molecular Biology, Small Animal Veterinary Medicine I'm currently working part-time and taking college courses online. My best availability is all-day Friday-Sunday, but I can be flexible if I have a heads up! I like to make sure I have everything I need to know from a client before they leave so I don't have to bother them too much while they're away! This includes medication, feeding schedule, behavioral problems, and any space that may be off limits to myself and/or the pet. I'm no stranger to a mess, so no worries if your pet is prone to accidents.
“Cayla was a rockstar! Three months ago, we rescued Badger, a young Red Heeler. She's very skittish around people and, while curious, won't allow people to pet her. At the time, we knew we'd be in Chattanooga for a wedding and would need to leave her for several long days. We were worried it would set back the progress we've made with her feeling comfortable around people. The opposite happened. Cayla moved at the perfect pace for Badger. She gave us some very helpful tips while we were there. If we lived in Chattanooga, we'd hire Cayla on a more regular basis. She communicated well, was on time, and I can't say enough good things about how well she cared for Badger.”
“Danielle did an amazing job with our cat and dog. We were on an international trip for close to two weeks and they were in such great hands. Our dog is very dog particular and a bit people particular and she did an amazing job catering to his needs. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more knowing they were so well taken care of! She checked in everyday with pics and to let us know how they were doing.”
“Addie was fantastic. She stayed at my home for 15 days watching Freddie and Purrl, and honestly the communication alone made the whole trip stress-free. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how they were doing — I just knew. Came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals and a house left in great shape. Addie was respectful of my space the entire time, which matters a lot when someone's living in your home. Would book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter they can actually trust while they're away.”
“I am very particular when it comes to my puppy baby and this was by far the BEST experience I have had using rover. Shelby sent me updates, pictures, and followed my pups schedule to a tee. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely be using Shelby again.”
“Kristin was fantastic! Showed up on time and really took care of our two babies. They warmed up to her during our meet and greet. The house was clean when we got home and I could tell our little Gracie and Sophie were well cared for!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rossville is $45

I needed someone that I could trust to stay at our home for 10 days and administer insulin to our dog, twice a day. Bonnie had never given insulin, but she was willing to learn how. She came in advance to meet us and she gave Finn his insulin during that meeting. During our vacation, she sent regular updates, photos, and videos. Finn was very comfortable with her, which says a lot, because he is a momma’s boy! Finn’s shots have to be given 12 hours apart, which means that Bonnie had to give them at 5:45 AM and PM. She did it and always sent me a message after each one! I highly recommend Bonnie to take care of your pet and be trusted with your home!
Lauren, thank you for taking such good care of my dog and my home! I know the 4th of July was particularly hard for her with all the fireworks. I greatly appreciate all the updates, pictures and just knowing you were there with her! My neighbors said how nice you were! I appreciate everything and will definitely reach out to you to care for Scarlet in the future! I highly recommend Lauren!!
She was so good with our dog and cat. Our dog is very anxious and nervous with new people and by the end of day 1 she had her comfortable. So thankful she took such good care of the pets and house. She sent me a bunch of updates so I knew they were taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone to book with her.
Terezie is simply the best. We had a truly terrible experience with who had been watching our cats (NOT someone on Rover) and were left feeling nervous about finding someone new. The minute Terezie and I began communicating, I knew she was different. Her level of concern and care was evident in how she thoughtfully asked questions, took notes, and immediately worked to connect with each of our babies (2 cats and 1 dog) when she came to our home. We have a cat with a health mystery as of now and she was as concerned as we were and offering ideas on what we might try next with our vet. She checked in on several things while we were away just to get more clarity on what we prefer and what the babies would be more comfortable with. I dang near cried from relief with how good it felt to know Terezie was our pet caregiver. We will be requesting her FIRST any time we are away from home from now on. Thank you, Terezie! Pet parents need more people just like you!!
So grateful for Melissa jumping in last minute to help us out. Never have used Rover before so was hesitant to get a stranger to look after our pups, but Melissa was relaxed yet attentive immediately from the moment I met her. The girls weren’t anxious at all upon us getting home and that’s saying a lot. Will definitely be using Melissa again!
Rebooking was a no-brainer because he’s still the best sitter we’ve ever had. Our dogs absolutely love him — the kind of love where they barely notice we’re leaving. He kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and took them on long walks so they could catch up on all their neighborhood “pee-mails.” Always a relief to return to happy pups, even though they’re already plotting our next trip so they can get Jadarius to come back!
I cannot recommend Maddison highly enough! She took incredible good care of my dogs while I was away, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands.She stayed at my home, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and kept everything clean and well-maintained. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved the attention and care they received. She aslo sent pics and was great at communicating while I was away! Will definitely be using Maddison again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rossville on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rossville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rossville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rossville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rossville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
