“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.”
“This was my first time leaving my two Maltese dogs overnight, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She went above and beyond from start to finish—constantly sending videos and pictures that gave me total peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and it really showed how much she cares. One of my favorite touches was receiving a “good morning” video from my dogs—it meant a lot and made me feel connected even while I was away. Her home is clearly set up to care for dogs, safe, clean, and welcoming. On top of that, the location is absolutely beautiful, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend her without any doubt. If you’re nervous about leaving your pets, she’s exactly the kind of sitter you want.”
“Chungking and her family go above and beyond what you would expect for your fur baby’s care. I have a high maintenance dog and he stresses when he’s left at a sitters house and chews his paws. They made sure his paws were cleaned, dried and wrapped to keep him from chewing on them. And since he had to wear a cone, they were very diligent about making sure he stayed hydrated and fed. Hands-down the best pet sitters I’ve ever used. They also have a spectacular grassy backyard with a high fence. Can’t praise them enough!”
“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
“Lucas was great! He was accommodating, kind, and Mia seemed super happy to have Lucas’s dog as a friend ❤️Also had a backyard where the dogs could run in and out of the house. Thanks!”
“Leeann is fantastic! We are so lucky to have found her. Indy absolutely loved being there with other Rover friends and the farm animals. She will definitely be our go to sitter when we go out of town.”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“Thanks for taking care of our boy while we were away! Champ loved staying and playing with your other dogs. All the pictures made us feel better about being away from our boy.”
“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! 🖤”
“Paul and his family were amazing with my dog. They made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing and went above and beyond to accommodate me. I would let them watch Onyx again in a heartbeat.”
“I’m so thankful for Jenny, she was the best. This was the first time he was away from home & Rippy was high strung as he’s a new puppy. She made me feel so secure & was so good to our puppy the first he was gone from home. I’d recommend her time & time again! Thankful for her!”
About: I have a 4 month old puppy named Leo, he is great with dogs especially bigger dogs(even though he is 9 pounds) he still loves his big dogs. I have dog sat many of my neighbors dogs. Some for a month or even longer. I've cared for various breeds and sizes, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and exercise they need. My time with each dog has helped me develop strong skills in handling different personalities and needs, making me a reliable choice for pet care. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just cuddling, I always strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for every pup in my care. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to car for the pup. My schedules are pretty flexible and I spend a lot of time at home. I like always being with the dog whether it is walking, cuddling or just hanging out with them. I live closer to the country so I have lots of space to take the pups out.
“Gabrielle is the best! She kept us informed on how things were going and even included pictures. She took such amazing care of Maddie. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We're looking forward to having Maddie stay with her again next month.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Townsend 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 Townsend 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 Townsend.
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 Townsend. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Townsend 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.
