“Krystal was absolutely amazing! I had a cross-country move during which everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. Krystal was compassionate and flexible, and the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether Max was safe and well cared for. He is a city cat, so he gained a new appreciation for chicken watching, and her kiddos kept him snuggled and loved. They are a good distance from my new home, but I will make the trip for Krystal to keep him when I go out of town. She and her family were a true blessing when I needed help caring for Max. I will always be grateful.”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”
“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Erin was very kind and amazing with our high energy dog, Kora. She was super accommodating with a quick meet and greet, and sent lots of pictures while she watched Kora. Definitely booking with her in the future!”
“Mary and her husband are absolutely wonderful with my dog, Millie! They’re both so kind, patient, and truly treat her like their own. It’s such a comfort knowing Millie is getting lots of love and attention while I’m away. She’s always excited to see them, which says it all! I’m so grateful to have found such caring sitters.”
“Holly was awesome. She genuinely cared about my dog Booger. She sent me updates with pictures and videos everyday. She made me feel safe and secure about leaving my Boogie for a week. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Tracy was fantastic with Dolly. She sent pictures showing the fun they were having. We felt so comfortable knowing Dolly was taken care of while we were on vacation near by. Would recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a good place to have their dog stay.”
About: All my life, I grew up with dogs and cared for them like they were my own children! I have my own pup (a 4.5 year old Aussie) who is great with other dogs and we would both love to look after your pup! I am an unemployed grad student at UTHSC. It is apart of my daily routine to look after my own dog and would love to help others out that don’t have the time that I do! I love to look after others’ dogs as if they are my own. Every dog deserves walks, treats, and extra loving when their parents aren’t around!
“We so appreciate Jeanie taking such good care of our dog Roady for a couple nights. She sent us lots of pictures to let us know how much he was enjoying his stay with her. He seemed right at home! This was our first time getting a sitter for one of our pets and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. If we are in the area and need a sitter again, we will definitely call on Jeanie!”
“Trey has been amazing 10/10 !! We went on our honeymoon for 20 days and he took amazing care of our pup the whole time. The day of pick up we had a flight delay and ran into traffic and he was so nice and accommodating to our crazy travel day. We loved that he sent pictures and updates of our pup, as well as played with him in the yard and showed him love !”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and grew up always having dogs. I've had pets of my own for over 20 years and currently have two small dogs who are very much part of our family. I've also enjoyed caring for family members' dogs over the years. While I'm newer to caring for other people's pets, I'm experienced with the love, patience, and attention dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am married and have 2 teenagers who also love dogs. I will treat your dog like one of our own and provide a loving, welcoming home with plenty of attention and care. My goal is to make your dog's stay feel like a home away from home! I am currently working full-time at a middle school that is 7 minutes away from home. I am able to leave work during the day for restroom breaks. I am home on the weekends and available during most Knox County School holiday breaks. I do not have a fenced-in yard. I take both of my dogs out on a leash. I am also able to take dogs on walks. I live in a neighborhood with little traffic. I have gates up in our home that keep dogs separated, if needed. My dogs stay in the laundry room with a gate when I am not home. I have a medium-sized mudroom off of my kitchen that I plan to keep any dog I board while I am outside of the home. I can provide a dog bed, toys, and water when I am away. I am also able to use a crate if preferred. I let our dogs sleep with me and will do the same for you, if that is preferred. I offer a loving home environment with personalized attention. I am happy to provide pictures and daily updates. I love dogs, and I can't wait to offer playtime and companionship to your pets.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Strawberry Plains can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Strawberry Plains 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 Strawberry Plains.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Strawberry Plains. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Strawberry Plains 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
