About: Hi y’all! I’m Maxie, I used to work as a CNA! I have raised all types of animals from age 5 up to my age now! I have lived on our farm in Tennessee for over 23 years! I’ve dealt with any situation you could think of! I LOVE animals! And getting to know them! Here at home, I am the go to girl for the neighborhood when anyone needs anything for their pets! I’m super good with animals and people! I have all the free time on my hands at any moment when YOU need me! I’m super reliable and trustworthy! And will get the job done! And your fur baby will have a new friend! I can’t wait to meet you and your pawfect babies! :) I’m a hard worker, and love spending the time with fur babies! I always make plans around the babies and allow time to be with them! Snuggles, lovens and anything you need I’m there! I have three of my own! I always make sure they are having fun even if that means sleeping, playing, walking even cuddling! They are treated as my own and loved to the max!
“Tanya was very sweet with our dog and took great care of our home while we were away for the 4th. She went above and beyond in keeping her calm during a storm and fireworks. Would highly recommend.”
“Amanda was awesome to my little geriatric dogs. They are spoiled rotten and have several quirks to their care. She stayed a week in my home and very attentive to everything asked of her. Highly recommend!”
“I honestly could not have asked for a better experience than the one I got with Andrea!! The house was well taken care of and when we got home our dogs seemed just as happy and healthy as when we left them!! Communication was great! She was sure to send plenty of pics and updates as well which was much appreciated! If I could give more stars I would!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats. I love taking them for walks, the park or helping them learn to swim. I know the importance of giving dogs medications and taking them to appointments. I also keep dogs well groomed while I watch them I currently work full time 5 days a week but but will spend all my free time taking care of your pets. I will check on them throughout the day during work if needed I live in an apartment that has 1 bedroom. The apartment complex does allow animals. I have ring cameras in my place and outside my place to make sure I’m always able to see if my home and the animals are safe
“Allie was great watching our dog overnight! She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos, and gave us a list of everything they did throughout the day! She was super flexible working with our changing schedule. We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I have years of experience dog sitting through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also spent a summer volunteering at a local animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant. I only work MIDS on Fridays (normally 12:30-8:30) and Sunday mornings. Any other days I have full flexibility. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I adjust my care to fit their needs. Some pets want lots of playtime and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and space. I also make sure owners stay updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I also tend to stay very close to the house. I like to stay with the animals.
About: I’ve lived in a multi-pet household ever since I was born which has included dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and at one time, a bird, so I feel very comfortable when working with pets! I spent a bit of time volunteering at Southeastern Guide Dogs looking after puppies who were training to become certified guide dogs. As a pet owner myself I understand the importance of building trust in those who care for our furry family. I will strive to ensure that your pets are not only cared for, but feel comfortable and safe in my care! I currently have a more open availability! I am open to taking care of furry family between the hours of 8:30am-8pm most days of the week except Thursdays. I understand that with animals it is important to build trust. I prefer to go at your pet’s pace and make sure they have what they need to feel comfortable around me. Following routines that they are comfortable with is key as well as letting your pet explore what they need to (sniffing, scoping out the scene).
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“Courtney took wonderful care of our aged dog and our home during our vacation. Our dog's advanced age took special care and attention, and she worked with him, convinced him to eat, adjusted his diet as needed, gave him walks in the rain, and helped him deal with our absence. Many thanks to Courtney!”
About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I am a college student that is home for the summer working and internship! My schedule is somewhat flexible but on my work days they run pretty long. Dog walking in the morning or early afternoon is something that would work with my schedule. Any house sitting needs work during the week, and can be a little different on the weekend but it can still work! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!
“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”
“She was great. Updated me on photos throughout her stay. If something was out of the ordinary she communicated with me. Love her open communication style. The dogs were very happy”
About: My name is Joe, I have just recently moved to Chattanooga from Denver, CO. I have several years of dog watching experience. Currently im working on my dog training certification and hope to offer those services soon. My partner & I have a special needs dog, and am great at providing the specialized care she needs. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, and can provide that special extra touch to ensure your pup feels at home while away. I watch dogs full time, so my routine is centered around walks, playtime, naps, ,meals, and treats. I live close to a beautiful park. Its my job to provide maximum fun times. Safety is my biggest concern when watching your dog. We introduce them to the new environment slowly in a controlled manner to allow them to be comfortable in their surroundings.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Pittsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 387 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Pittsburg. 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 South Pittsburg 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 South Pittsburg 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 South Pittsburg 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.
