“Jamie was great. She sent daily updates with pictures, provided plenty of outdoor play, and was quick to respond to any texts from me. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Brent & Kaitlin treated our dog like a member of their family. They sent us pictures and texts daily keeping us updated on us how she was doing. We were so happy to know that she was in good hands and being well cared for while we were away. It’s so reassuring to know that we now have people we can trust to leave our sweet Dolly with when we can’t take her with us.”
“I’m always anxious to leave my dog when I travel but Adrienne took all my worries away! She sent me updates and photos every day and treated my dog like one of her own. We will be booking with her again!”
“My fur baby had the best time!!! Carri was so great with her!!! I’ll definitely book with Carri again. Carri kept me updated and really eased my mind while traveling. Can’t say thank you enough to Carri.”
“Patti and her family took such great care of Maisy. She is an old dog so we were cautious to leave her, but we received daily pictures and updates and our pup came home happy and healthy. We will certainly leave Maisy with Patti’s family again. So blessed to have found them.”
“I have to say, Jenae was GREAT!!! Her communication with me was always very prompt and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up. My dog Xena came back super happy and relaxed. Jenae’s experience with dogs and all she does to help them made me appreciate her so much. She is a gem.”
“Roxy loved her stay with Troy and his cat Stubbz! Troy took great care of her, send lots of great pictures and videos, and made us feel totally comfortable leaving her with him! Would definitely book with Troy again.”
“This was our first time to use Rover and we are excited to share that we had a positive and pleasant experience with Alyssia and her family. As with most all pet owners, we were nervous about leaving our dog with someone we did not know. Alyssia was very helpful with the entire process which was great since this was our first-time using Rover. She was great with communication and sending us pictures of reassurance that Penny was being well cared for. Alyssia’s two daughters were the greatest friends to our dog. Also, their own dog, Bella, was super friendly and a fun companion. Our dog Penny is a nervous dog and is naturally shy around people & animals that she does not know. She also has some separation anxiety; but, none of that seemed to be an issue with the love she was given during her stay. If you are looking for a trusted caregiver and a place where your pet will be loved and treated well, we would highly recommend Alyssia and her family. We are confident in her care of our dog and will be utilizing her services again.”
“Leah was the perfect sitter for our dog! She was very responsive when it came to any questions that we had as first-time boarders. Leah gave us little updates each day (including photos!) on how Pearl was doing, which definitely put our minds at ease while we were away. Leah’s house is the perfect doggie sanctuary with a large yard, and our high energy girl had the best time!”
“Robin was great. We set up a meet and greet before boarding Felix, and I knew right away that my doggie would be in good hands. Robin provides lots of pictures and daily highlights, which we really appreciated. She has a big fenced backyard, which is top-notch for us. We’ll definitely ask her to watch our big boy again.”
“Olivia was excellent! Myles truly loved the love and attention he received 😊 which makes mama’s heart happy too. Would definitely rebook against. Thank you Olivia.”
“Andra took wonderful care of our Pup. He had lots of space to run and friends to play with. We appreciate her accommodating us last min. Roper was well loved and we received regular pictures and communication. Thank you Andra”
“She took great care of my dog and was very kind and reliable. It’s our 2nd time with her!! I really appreciated the updates and the love she showed my pet. Highly recommend”
“This was a great first time Rover experience! Kayahja sent me pictures and videos each day I was gone. I was also told my Charli interacted really well with her dogs, which was the main reason I wanted Charli to board with someone who has dogs because she doesn’t get a lot of close interaction. Kayahja was very nice and communicative with me. Will be booking with her again!”
“Shawna and Tony are lovely. Shawna took the time to sit, talk and get to know me and Kobe. She was flexible with the time change I needed after I submitted the booking. She provided updates on my little guy. I would highly recommend and book again!”
“Edward & Margarette were so great! Drop off and pick up were smooth and their home was clean and perfect. They sent updates daily and were very sweet while sitting - the communication was great! Would def recommend them and rebook with them in the future!”
“She did a great job with our Pit Bull/Husky mix Skye! Skye is only 3 months old and is a very curious, active puppy who gets into everything. 😂 I was nervous about leaving her but I really appreciated Whitney for being willing to keep Skye in her home and take on all that puppy energy. Skye was well taken care of, and I would definitely use her 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!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rural Hill
Jaime was an amazing sitter! She was able to take my boy Scooby on short notice due to an unplanned work trip, and I can’t say enough good things about it. She had a wonderful home and yard where he stayed, and took great care of him making sure he got all his medicine and food (because he’s a picky eater). Jaime also left us a toy and some treats to bring home and put on a cute fall bandana that he seems to love. I’ll definitely be going back in the future next time I need a sitter!
My girls are always always always with me, I had to leave them for four days which was so hard. I asked Lisa if we could have a little meet and greet before I just left them with a stranger, and she was so accommodating to my request. My girls were cared for and everything packed up so nicely when I arrived to collect them. Thank you, Lisa!

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 Rural Hill 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 Rural Hill.
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 Rural Hill 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.
