“Davis is the greatest and has become my Nina's soulmate. She and I both absolutely loved her stay with him. He kept me updated sending pictures and his line of communication was so wonderful. Thank you so much Davis and when I am in need of a doggie sitter again I WILL use your service”
“Shanina was awesome with our fur baby Koda. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times and she communicated very well. We will definitely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Baylee and Coal had a great time with Savannah. She allowed them to come visit prior to their stay and handled their nervousness without batting an eye. Baylee is a rescue and takes time to warm up to people, Savannah sat and waited for Baylee to come to her. We will definitely be back for a stay when I need to travel again!”
“Tara has been so awesome with my princess! Gave me lots of updates to satisfy all my crazy dog mom needs, and video footage of all the fun she was having with her new friends! Would highly recommend ☺️”
“Will was very communicative and responsive not only during the booking process, but while my babies were with him. He sent photos and a video. His home was easy to find and we were flexible with pickup. I will use him again. Thanks for caring for my boys!”
“April was excellent with Dallas! She kept me informed as well as sent several pictures letting me know how Dallas was doing. I will use her again and just recommended 2 other customers.”
“Taylor and Kiersten took such good care of Ruby! We got some really great videos of Ruby playing and having a blast!! Taylor and Kiersten were very communicative about how Ruby was doing and she came home exhausted from a fun weekend!”
About: My kennel is family run and provides personal, loving service. I have 7 stalls available, each with a doggie door leading to an enclosed outdoor area. Nestled in the woods just south of Millington, your furry friend will enjoy privacy, nature and the love of three teenage daughters, under my supervision, in your absence. If you would prefer only an adult handling your pet, that will be respected. I know your pet has individual needs, and I'm here to meet them. The kennel is located on my property, so I am constantly present and available. Pets will be fed, walked, given treats or medication, and played with on your requested schedule. Each dog has their own stall and a personal fenced in outdoor area that is accessible all day. There is a double stall available for an additional fee if you would like to leave them with more space. There is a larger fenced area where they can be let out to play daily, with other dogs or alone. I am also available to leash walk them around our 30 acres of grass and woods. I want your pet to be relaxed and enjoy their time with us, so just tell me what you want and I'll make it happen.
“Ruby was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive to our fur baby. We could tell from the pictures that our Princess was having a blast and was being well cared for. Ruby exceeded our expectations by sending a variety of pictures daily. She even prepared a treat bag for Princess on the day of her departure. Thank you Ruby for being so great!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with Tobi and Maki! She watched them for two weeks and sent us daily photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly loving and attentive with both of them, followed Tobi's medication instructions, and made sure they got plenty of playtime and cuddles. She even went above and beyond when we ran short on some of their food and picked it up for them without us even asking! And of course, Tobi loves putting his face directly into mud haha! Melissa happily let him have his fun and even washed him every time he came back muddy. They came home happy, relaxed, and VERY tired, which tells us they had the best time! We would absolutely book Melissa again and highly recommend her.”
“Shabnam was wonderful! She gave us daily picture updates and was always quick to respond to messages. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times and our dogs have been so sleepy since being home so I know she kept them busy. Highly recommend!!”
“Gage is a Great guy! He's very laid back and a great dog sitter. He sent some Great pictures of Tonka, almost looked like professional photos. He updated me periodically to let me know my dog was doing well and enjoying himself. Tonka came home happy and that's all I can ask for. Gage delivered, I definitely recommend him!”
“Maceson provided excellent and loving care to our 5 month old puppy Emma. We are very appreciative of all that he did for Emma. If we are ever back in Memphis we will have Maceson take care of Emma again. We are from Albany NY and used Maceson to care for our dog because we flew out of Memphis to Florida to join a family get together. His home is very convenient to the Memphis airport. Communication wit Maceson was excellent. Thanks again Maceson”
“Brooke was awesome. My cat is very nervous but she felt right at home with Brooke from day one! Book her! You will not have to worry about your furry loved one at all.”
“I've found my forever sitter for Wesley! Justin and his wife are super! It takes special people to handle all the energy Wesley has to expend! Somehow, Wesley was quite calm at their house. Maybe Wesley felt special, spoiled and free. He will be returning that's for sure.”
“Haley went above and and beyond on what I expected. This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter and she made feel that my dogs were in good hands. She sends pictures and updates on the dogs. Just outstanding. I will definitely book her again.”
“I was able to book with Josef last minute, without hesitation she was so eager to meet my 2 girls and got us booked quickly. Price was right! She also kept us updated with messages and pictures. My girls had a blast with Josef. I felt confident leaving my girls with her. 10/10 recommended!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rugby
Kissie took excellent care of our Velcro dog, who gets very nervous when we’re away. She went above and beyond to accommodate our early drop-off and late pick-up due to our travel schedule. Our pup looked happy and was smiling in all the photos she sent, which helped us relax and enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful for her.
Kissie took wonderful care of Olive while we were away. She sent daily updates along with lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Olive was getting plenty of attention and care throughout her stay. When we picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and in great condition. We could tell she had been well cared for. We would absolutely trust Kissie with Olive again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

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 Rugby 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 Rugby.
<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 Rugby 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.
