“Shawna took absolutely wonderful care of my baby while I was out of town. She sent me a ton of pictures and videos and he looked like he was having so much fun that he didn’t even have time to miss me!! Will definitely be a repeat customer and will highly be recommending her to everyone I know!!! Thanks Shawna!!”
“I was so pleased with the care my cat received from Krystal. Krystal communicated with me regularly and sent photos and videos, I knew my cat was being cared for by a caregiver who truly loves animals!”
“Kristy made my trip out of town more enjoyable knowing my pups were being taken care of! She sent regular updates and pics and was flexible with pick up and drop off times.”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Amanda took really good care of our babies! Loved all the pictures that she sent of them. It was such a comfort knowing that they were in good hands! Sadie & Charlie loved meeting new friends! Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience! Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Megan and her family! We booked Marshall’s stay on the very same day, and from the beginning, Megan was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and attentive. She and her husband took excellent care of Marshall, and it was clear that he was in great hands. He came back happy, relaxed, and perfectly cared for, which meant everything to us! What truly stood out was Megan’s thoughtfulness and flexibility. She even offered to meet us at a more convenient location for pickup, allowing us to save time and enjoy more precious moments with our family during our vacation. That extra effort meant so much to us! Megan and her husband went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would recommend them a thousand times over! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely attentive to your pet, look no further. Thank you, Megan and family, for treating Marshall so wonderfully! We would absolutely book with you again!”
“Wendy is amazing! She knew it was my first time using Rover and my first time needing a sitter for my cat, she made sure I had updates with photos 1-2 times per day! I felt so safe to leave my cat with her and her family. They all treated him like their very own. I would definitely book with Wendy again, I am so beyond happy with my experience!😊😊”
“After Jeanie watched our Aussie pup, Titan, I don’t think we could chose anyone else. She was so kind and treated him like her own. We received so many fun and playful pictures during his time with her. We knew what his day looked like everyday we were away. She made this process so much easier on us and Titan.”
“Christy was friendly, personable, and cooperative. Because our standard poodle, Baxter, has never had much contact with other dogs, Christy was great with me dropping by one day so Baxter could Gunner, a big, beautiful German Shepherd. She sent photos of Baxter and always responded quickly to text messages. Baxter seemed quite content.”
“Slim has stayed with Jenny so many times and I feel so at ease when he is with her. So much more comfortable knowing he is with a loving family than locked in a cage at a shelter. He has so much fun with friends. He is a happy and tired little boy and can’t wait to go back!”
About: I have been boarding dogs in my home and providing in-home dog sitting for several years. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, love, and one-on-one care. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s routine and preferences to make their dog’s stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾💕 I’m a Gatlinburg Events Manager, so my schedule is busiest during daytime event hours. I’m typically available any day after 5:00 PM, making me a great fit for evening drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and last-minute dinner or evening plans. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in your home, depending on what helps your pet feel most comfortable. I live in White Pine, Tennessee, and am available for house sitting throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and surrounding areas. I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and keep you updated while you’re away. My home is in White Pine although I do travel to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Mon-Fri and can Every pet is different, so I always do my best to follow their owner's routine and preferences. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection while maintaining the routines they're familiar with. I understand that leaving a pet with someone else requires trust, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“Jesse did a great job taking care of our large mixed breed. She can be an anxious dog but she seems to have really settled down with Jesse. He sent us regular updates and pics to let us know how things were going. We will definitely be using Jesse again in the future.”
“Kayla and her husband were great, easy to communicate and deal with. We felt Micah and Luna were in great hands, and we received daily updates and pictures. We won't forget what for us was the highlight of their stay, which was seeing them interact with Kayla's baby daughter! It was heart-melting cute! We will definitely reach out to her for any future needs :)”

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 Rutledge 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 Rutledge.
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 Rutledge 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.
