“I can’t say enough great things about Lorna! She provides a wonderful and safe place for our fur babies to stay when we need to be away. She has a great fenced in yard providing plenty of space to run and play. I highly recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a caring and sweet person to care for their animals.”
“Samantha was exactly what I was looking for in a place to board my dog. She was prompt, courteous and communicative. She took great care of my dog and highly recommend her services”
“Shirley & Jeff took great care of Cindy. It was the first time she had been left with a non-family member since being adopted and they did a great job. The status updates and pictures were nice also. I would definitely use them again when the need arises!”
“Jennifer and family sent pics every day and even trained my dog to sit and shake while we were gone. She loved their three dogs, the doggie door, and the large fenced yard along the river. I can’t imagine a better experience for my sweet dog. Thank you!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rita. This was a last minute trip that we couldn’t take a pup with us. I don’t like leaving my girl behind, but I know she is in good hands when Rita watches her. She also sends me plenty of pictures and videos to let me know how June is doing. I can’t recommend her enough and will keep using her. This was June’s second time staying with Rita.”
“Carly was great. She allowed me to bring my pup inside to ensure she was in a safe place— I appreciated that! Very friendly and took great care of her. I’m sure we will rebook in the future.”
“Rosaria took such good care of my Lexi!!! She kept me updated and went over and beyond to make sure Lexi was safe and well adjusted!! She even fixed her fresh turkey and pumpkin!!! She played so hard she slept the whole way home. 100% recommend”
“Jennifer was great!! I needed a last minute sitter and she was perfect. She did a great job keeping my baby boy and keeping me updated with pictures throughout his stay. Will definitely use her again when in the area!”
“Linda and Wendy did a great job taking care of Licorice, who can be fussy. They administered oral medications twice a day, took him outside constantly (he's on a diuretic), and allowed him to sleep in one of their beds. They sent pictures and updates while I was away, and their two little dogs were great company for mine. :) Would definitely use again!”
“Brooke is a sweetheart and Ozzy warmed up to her nicely. Brooke sent me photos and videos on a daily basis which gave me such a comfort level that my baby was being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth last minute took my request to watch my brand new puppy. I really needed to work out of town after Christmas expenses. She immediately replied back and was accommodating due to this last minute decision. She sent me updates pictures and always replied immediately when I checked in. Thank you again Elizabeth for taking such good care of my Henry!”
“At first you know, I was really skeptical and somebody watching my dogs. But this lady did a fantastic job. My dogs got to play all day. They got walks plus baths. My dog both really liked her and my female dog is usually skeptical on new people. She did an amazing job and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch my dogs for me. I found my main person.”
“Hannah and her family are so sweet! Cece really enjoys her time with them! We got the perfect amount of pictures and updates through out her stay. We will use Hannah every time we can from now on.”
“Amy and Jason are amazing!! Very welcoming!! Prepared; Mochi is part of their family when there, they treat her as one of their own! Could not have asked for more…Mochi returns home very calm and gets back into real life at home quickly. Thank you! If you are hesitant; don’t be!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Samuel and Erica! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was incredibly nervous—but they made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. A few days before the stay, they invited me over for a meet-and-greet so I could get a feel for their home, meet them, and introduce my dog to their sweet pup, Lana. The moment I walked in, I knew they were the right people. Their space was welcoming, safe, and dog-friendly, and their kind energy instantly put me at ease. Throughout the stay, they went above and beyond. They sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which made me smile every time. It was so comforting to see my dog happy, relaxed, and having a blast with Lana. When my dog didn’t want to eat at first, they reached out right away and kept me posted until she finally finished her dinner—something I really appreciated as a nervous first-timer. When I picked her up, she was completely worn out—in the best way! After three days of nonstop play and attention, she came home happy, tired, and clearly had the time of her life. Samuel and Erica treated my dog exactly how I would want her to be treated—with love, patience, and genuine care. They communicated wonderfully, kept me in the loop the whole time, and truly felt like people I could trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”

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 Tusculum 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 Tusculum.
<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 Tusculum 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.
