“My cat Willow had such a great time! I loved getting pictures everyday to see how she was doing. She was cared for so well! I’m so glad there’s someone close by that I can trust to help out with my animals!!”
About: With years of veterinary experience, I bring more than just a love of animals to pet sitting! I worked in veterinary care for 5 years in a clinic and spent three years as a remote veterinary triage nurse, giving me experience in veterinary medicine and comfortability in administrating medications. I’ve owned dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Your pets will be treated like family! I currently stay home with my 4-year-old, while my two school-age children are at school, so my schedule is flexible and open for daily check-ins, walks, and pet visits. I can work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, and I’m happy to help make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. My home has a fenced-in wooded area where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and explore safely. I have three friendly dogs and a cat, so I understand the importance of making sure all animals feel comfortable and get along. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs, routines, and safety. In a client’s home, I will follow their instructions closely, keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Dessire was amazing! I booked my fur baby last minutes for the weekend and she was awesome about it. This is my first time using Rover and Dessire made the experience worth trying it out. She sent me daily updates and when my trip was extended late she was flexible about extending Nalas stay another night! Will definitely book again and recommend to everyone!”
“Shannon is great! Her and her dog Goose are very welcoming. They were able to give my doggo the best time while I was away. It's hard to leave your dog behind on a trip but it's a lot easier when you know they are in good hands. She gave me great pictures and videos so I could be at ease while I was away.”

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 Sewanee 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 Sewanee.
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 Sewanee 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.
