“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”

“So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”

“I found Hope last minute for a 2 week trip. She immediately sent me a message asking about my pups and letting me know that she keeps their schedules as much the same as possible. This edged out the other offer I received (the other person just accepted my request but never sent a follow up message). The dogs were at ease with her immediately. She sent me pictures of the dogs every day with updates. I was concerned if my pups would want to come home with me! They had a great time and Hope was aweosme! I will definitely use Hope again!”

“Awesome experience with Heather. My puppy usually leaves the boarding locale anxious and on edge, though they do a great job. This time our dog was happy and calm. She didn’t even bark when we picked her up. I will use Heather again.”

“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”

About: I am highly skilled in animal care. I have been pet sitting and caring for animals for 30+ years. I treat my animals and client animals like my children. I have worked in the animal medical field and have been a Veterinary Assistant for 30 years. I can give medications and follow recommended medical treatment for all animals. I personally have a working mini farm. I am willing to farm set also. I have experience with horses, donkeys, goats and poultry. I do work 3 days a week. But I usually only pet sit on the days that I am available, so that I am able to give the pets the best care and attention. I can come to your home for pet walking or letting them outside for a frolic. I offer feeding, and medication giving. This can be pills or injections (insulin if needed). I have a fenced in back yard. I am willing to allow trusted dogs to go off leash. Leash walking is no problem at all. I do have 5 small dogs under 10 lbs. Ages ranging from 1 yr to 13 yrs old. All very well behaved.

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 Stella 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 Stella.

<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 Stella 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.
