“Nancy & Stan not only took my booking very last minute, but were so kind and gracious throughout the entire experience. They truly exude such warmth and my pup loved them so quickly for being strangers and I think that says a lot! Great communication and feedback the entire trip and they gave our girl lots of love and walks. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for her.”

“Our dog had so much fun with Jaime and her crew! Jaime is definitely recommended she took great care of her and we will definitely be using her services again :). Highly recommended sitter!”
“We couldn't be any happier that we chose Christina and Brent to watch J. Walker. This was our first trip not taking him with us. Christina kept in touch over the stay. She even sent photos. J. Walker had so much fun playing with the other dogs. There is no doubt in our minds that we will take J.W. back. We trust Christina completely with our fur baby.”
“Alora took great care of our baby and always kept us up to date with pictures. I think she could tell we were hesitant at first because we do not usually leave our dog, but she was super sweet and kept us in the loop and that really made us feel like we made a great choice! We would definitely use her services again 😊”
“As always Justin is THE man to care for your pet. Bear comes back happy and tired every time. Just recently took Bear and his buddies for a beach trip. I had no stress about sending Bear to another state, Justin always sends pictures, updates, and makes sure they have a safe but fun time.”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”

“Kari was amazing with our new Kitten. I was worried about leaving him and she gave me peace of mind. Kari immediately showed me she has an ability to connect with Cats and my kitten was all about her when we first met. I knew he was in the best care and Kari took the time to keep me posted with each visit. I didn’t worry while we were away because of Kari. Grateful we have her on our team and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an intuitive pet sitter and friend for your fur babies ❤️”
About: Some cat owners prefer a pop in twice a day, and some want their cat played with for a couple of hours - and I am down for both! Cat enrichment is one of my favorite specialties! I've bottle-fed kittens and seen several of my own cats through ripe old age, so age is not a factor for me. I've lived in multiple cat households for my entire life. If there are any specific medications your cat requires, I would be happy to discuss that with you. ***I REQUIRE MEET AND GREETS PRIOR TO BOOKING*** It won't take long, but I want to make sure that we are all on the same page and I can best take care of your cat. :)
“Nicole did such an outstanding job taking care of my cat while I was across the country for a wedding. It gave me such peace of mind while away to know that my cat was safe, fed, and loved on while under her care. She even went the extra mile for me and left out some food for a family of stray kittens that live under my house. I will definitely be rebooking Nicole in the future and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Nicole!!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Greg was so communicative throughout his visits. He was so kind and patient with my shy babies and took care of all of their needs. You can tell how passionate Greg is about animals and I had no worries leaving my girls in his hands!!”
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
“This was my first time using this service, and meeting Carrie put me immediately at ease. She is thoughtful and attentive and took such good care of my cats. She took time to play with them and sent pictures each visit. I highly recommend Carrie and will certainly book her again when I travel.”
“Skylar has watched our cats multiple times and has always been very reliable, which I appreciate. She takes great care of the cats which makes me feel much better about leaving our kitties for vacations.”
“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! Sent updated photos and even helped put the tree up after my rascal assumingely brought it down! Would 100% re hire Jordan & I recommend her services to anyone in need!”
“Cayla was amazing to communicate with and kept me updated with how my cat was doing while I was away. Definitely going to reach back out to her first for any sitter needs :)”
“It was evident when we first met her, JaNiya is an animal lover. She’s knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She was patient with our scaredy cat and let her slowly get used to the new human in the house. JaNiya is very kind and she was respectful of our home. We will definitely request her to housesit/cat sit for us again.”
“Hal was great with the kitties! He was responsive to questions and concerns. He was sweet and active with them as well. I often have anxiety leaving the kitties but knowing Hal was taking of them was very helpful! I recommend and would use again!!!”
“Couldn’t be happier that we found Justin to hang with and care for our pup, Sango, and our two cats (Sushi and Nori). It’s a weight off our shoulders while out of town knowing that he is watching and caring for our pets.”
About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible! I only take one house-sitting booking at a time so I can give your home and your pets my complete love and attention. Your fur babies will be my whole world while you’re away — I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and very loved every single day! I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I’m currently between jobs so all of my focus is on animal care! I have a super open schedule so your furry friend will get so much attention and love!! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!

“Sara is amazing with Leo! He is so happy when he gets to go to her house and I always know he is well taken care of and has a blast. Will definitely keep asking Sara to hang with my boy!”
“We have so appreciated having Miranda to care for Charlie. She is very easy to work with, quick to communicate, and is very knowledgeable about working with dogs. Charlie obviously has a good time with her and the other dogs because when we take him back, he eagerly rushes into her house.”
“Andrew provided an outstanding day care experience for my pup, Louis. Andrew is excellent with communication (with photos/updates), has a genuine love for animals, was able to provide Louis with a back yard to romp around in, & he even had a couple of buddies for Louis to play with as well. Smooth handoffs & a great experience for the pup as well as myself!”
“Crista is an incredible sitter. She is great with communication, care, and coordination! My dog came home happy, tuckered out, and well behaved. I highly recommend her!”
“George and his family took excellent care of my dog, Fennec. I got regular updates and a couple of photos, so I never worried. My nervous boy, Fenn, settled in easily with George and the kids. I will definitely take Fenn there again. I highly recommend!”
“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“Amazing experience!! Needed last minute doggie daycare while I was away at a baby shower for 4-5 hours which was longer than I wanted to leave my 8 week old Winston in a kennel. Rachel was available and able to help. So blessed and thankful to be able to do what I needed to do without worrying about him. He had fun, she fed him when he got hungry, and he slept until I got back. She sent updated pics too which eased my mind he was in great hands! What a blessing and lifesaver she is. Will definitely be using her service again.”
About: Hi, I'm Alora! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, goats, pigs, and chickens.

I'm a Rover Star Sitter and stay home during the day, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for the pets I welcome into my home. My husband and I share our home with our two school age boys and our two friendly Mini Australian Shepherds, Baloo and Akela. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and exercise, and I also offer walks around our quiet neighborhood. I accept a limited number of pets at a time so each guest receives plenty of individualized attention and care. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

From morning potty breaks and walks to evening snuggles, your pup is part of our daily routine. We go on neighborhood walks, enjoy playtime, and keep you updated with photos along the way. Your pet will feel like part of the family while you’re away! 🐾 In my home: Pets are part of the family! I provide lots of love, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks.

“Maddison was fabulous. We used her for our 1st rover dog day care experience. She was very friendly and welcomed our ausie into her home. We are thankful we found Maddison and would use her for sure again. Thank you for taking good care of Smore.”
“Our first time using Rover and our experience with Joseph and Carol was exceptional. From the meet and greet to the daycare we were made to feel comfortable knowing our pets were left in a responsible, safe and caring environment. Thank you for the peace of mind, flexibility and providing a home as best as our own!”
“Kailin was great! We went to explore Chattanooga for the day, and wanted somewhere to keep our pup out of the heat. We dropped him off with Kailin and she spent the day with him. Super convenient!!”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer who apprenticed under Kevin Behan founder of Natural Dog Training and author of Your Dog is Your Mirror. I have worked with all kinds of dog, both in terms of breeds and behaviors. I was also the head trainer and a manager of one of the largest boarding facilities in Vermont, Oh My Dog. I have plans for a small kennel and training out of my house long term. Available all week days and possibly weekends with reasonable notice. I have six acres of wooded land that backs up to hundreds of acres of state owned land. I have a fenced in play yard, and two side kennels that get all day shade. Also have space to accommodate crates as well!
“Would definitely be a repeat customer of Tatiana’s! She menu was accommodating, friendly, great location, and better yet our dog loved her and her sweet dog, Kairo!”
“While on vacation the need arose and we needed a sitter, with little notice Danielle was able to watch our fur baby, Danielle was amazing and very caring and attentive, highly recommend.”
“Kristen and her family have been an amazing asset in raising our puppy, Ace. She and the entire family is very loving, patient and kind with our pup. He loves being with her family and her dogs. Her dogs love hanging with him and they are patient and playful with my active pup. He comes home and takes a long nap after his day of play. She has a huge fenced yard that the dogs loves to run and play. My dog started with Kristen in October of 2020 and he goes frequently. We take him weekly for daycare and he stays when we are out of town. Kristen sends updates and pictures. He always looks happy and comfortable. I love his excitement about going. The moment we turn on their street he is up and at the window jumping with excitement. I have to hold his leash securely bc each time I open the car door he takes off quickly to her front door. Our hearts and minds are at ease when our baby is with Kristen and her family.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and treat as a priority in my schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m reliable about sticking to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my priority when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure pets are secure, supervised, and comfortable in their environment. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Journey has taken care of my pup several times now. She communicates well and has been available for a few last minute requests which is super helpful for my unpredictable work schedule. She’s great!”

About: Mi, my name is Sam! I have recently moved back to the US and am looking for more ways to cover rent. I have grown up with pets my entire life and I currently have two cats and three betta fish tanks. I grew up volunteering at my local humane society and have pet sit mostly for family, friends, and co-workers in the past. I have taken care of cats, small dogs, big dogs, puppies, elder dogs, and more. I am experienced with many different training routines, the most extensive being my friends hunting dog who had to have regular and intense training everyday from basic commands to complex routines. Also, no worries if your pet is a little "high maintenance", whatever your loved one needs I am ready to provide. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and you feel assured of your pet's care. I am currently job hunting, so I do not know exactly what my schedule will look like at this exact moment. That said, once we communicate the best needs for your pet, I promise to only go for jobs where I can assure that your pet can follow their regular schedule. I can assure that when I come to your house, I will make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it (as I have many years experience house sitting, with many people joking about how "it was like they weren't even there"). I am currently job hunting so I have lots of availability as of right now. Once I am in a more stable working schedule, I will let you know as well as update my profile accordingly. Due to my schedule freedom right now, I am able to fully commit to your pets care. I will always do my best to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and as close to their normal routine as is possible. If it has not been communicated to me before your departure, I will always double check with you before doing something (ex: going to a park or on a hike, playing a certain way, unknown foods, etc.) and will keep you updated on anything I observe or experience.
About: I have had pets my entire life (cats, dogs, ducks). I’ve taken care of many friends and family’s pets, from daily walks to over night stays. I have also had an anxious and reactive dog for the past 5.5 years, so I know how to adjust to an animals needs and make them happy and comfortable. I have open availability during mornings and afternoons for long walks, short/ long runs, hiking adventures, or sessions of fetch with your furry friends. Over night stays available with notice. I have an anxious dog in my home so I will only be able to do drop ins, walking, or overnight sitting at the clients home. I love to go on long walks with my dog, hikes, or runs (for the highly active pups).
About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. At the age of 15 I began volunteering at local shelters as a kennel worker, and have also been working at Middle Valley Animal hospital in the kennel and shortly as a vet assistant since 2022. I've also cared for family and friends pets over the last years and uncovered a passion for spending time with their furry friends in nature. Dogs of any age welcome. I'm currently available anytime the sun is out! I work third shift so I'm happy to take your furry friend out on an adventure anytime of day I can easily adjust my care plan to your individual pets needs. I understand pets have their own routines and I'm more than willing to cater to your best friend

About: I have been animal sitting since I was 16 years old. I am a cat lover through and through, but I also love dog walking and playing with dogs!

I am pretty flexible as well, and I can work around your schedule. When I am in my clients home, I am very respectful of your space and only go where is necessary. I am comfortable spending the night as well as only jumping in for a little bit. I love taking dogs on trails to go for a run, and providing whatever they need!
