“Jessica was wonderful with our anxious pup. He unexpectedly got sick while we were away and took on the responsibility of giving him his medication. Very trustworthy & caring. I highly recommend her.”
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Asked her to catsit through the holidays and she was lovely with my cats! I asked to simply feed and spend a bit of time but they took the time to do more than expected. I can tell my cats appreciated the company and the care they were afforded while I was away! Would HIGHLY recommend her in the future and will likely rebook in the future. If i could give 10 stars out of 5, I would”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over a decade. I have cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, parrots, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and have a very open schedule, so I am looking to spend my time doing something i love- caring for animals! I have cared for animals of all personalities and types, and have experience handling medications and fixing invisible fences as well! Im currently a fresh grad and job searching so I can very flexible. I want to keep working while i search for my next move in life! I live in an apartment downtown, so I do not have a yard. That being said, it is better for me to house-sit than board, but I am open to boarding as i live near several parks like Marion square!
“Was gone for 6 days and Sarah took great care of my kitties, going above and beyond. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again!”
“Sydney was great. She was a great caretaker for Archie. He was very happy when we came back from our trip. I could tell that Archie did not have any stress and enjoyed his time with Sydney. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Nicole was very attentive, gave great reports and overall communication was stellar. You can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching despite my cat mostly wanting to hang outside. Thanks Nicole! Hope to use you again.”
“Arooba took great care of my cat and rabbit while I was gone. I appreciate the detailed status updates and photos she provides. Definitely recommend her for your next out of town trip!”
About: I have a dog and a cat. I foster animals from McKamey Animal Shelter. I have worked as a farm hand on a horse farm in Colorado and volunteered on farms in England. I just finished eight months of travel in Europe being an Au Pair, and working on farms. I am starting a part-time job soon, but I would still love to continue pet sitting. My whole focas is to make your pet feel loved and cared for while you are gone. You can trust your home and pet with me.
“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”
“Laurie is an excellent dog sitter. She is extremely dependable and fantastic with my two dogs. I never worried one time while out of town. Laurie sent pictures and kept me updated on each visit. Will definitely use Laurie’s services again.”
“Rocio was a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly thorough, responsive, and professional. I will definitely book with her again! She went above and beyond. My cats liked her a lot.”
“Justin always does a great job and communicates consistently when he is keeping my dogs. You can tell that he truly cares about the quality of the care he is giving. He’s so sweet to my senior pup!”
“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
About: I don't know that I have any special skills to offer as I'm just starting out as a professional pet sitter, but I've spent my life caring for our family pets. From rescues to pure breds, from bottle feeding babies to slow moving incontinent old seniors, we've loved too many cats or dogs for me to count. We've also had cockatiels, a parrot, a rat, hamsters, (also bred them,) a turtle, chickens and ducks, tropical and salt water fish. Most importantly, I am peaceful, mellow and can earn your pets trust and I can follow your directions. I work on Signal Mountain and I live in Pikeville. I'm a school bus driver so that leaves me 5 hours of free time to visit with your pets. I can do over-nights with preplanning and acceptable accommodation, if we can make it fit with my work schedule. I like to get the work done first and then sit and rest and spend time with pets but of course I will first build trust with your pets before I barge in their home. I have some mobility challenges so long walks or hard pulls on a leash are best suited for another sitter but if you have a baby who just wants to be close, be held, not be alone, they will love me. Pets have a way of gravitating to my side or lap. Something about my demeanor tells them I am safe.
“Thank you, Kirsten, for looking after my dear companion in my absence. The daily notes and images really helped me feel at ease. Kirsten is personable, competent and, above all, reliable. My kitty warmed to her immediately.”
About: My name is Joe, I have just recently moved to Chattanooga from Denver, CO. I have several years of dog watching experience. Currently im working on my dog training certification and hope to offer those services soon. My partner & I have a special needs dog, and am great at providing the specialized care she needs. I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs, and can provide that special extra touch to ensure your pup feels at home while away. I watch dogs full time, so my routine is centered around walks, playtime, naps, ,meals, and treats. I live close to a beautiful park. Its my job to provide maximum fun times. Safety is my biggest concern when watching your dog. We introduce them to the new environment slowly in a controlled manner to allow them to be comfortable in their surroundings.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, and take care of their beloved pets. My own family consists of 4 dogs and a cat, which I frequently take care of for my parents or siblings. I would love to join your family’s list of reliable sitters to care for your pets well and offer them love! I am currently on summer vacation and my daily and weekly schedule is extremely flexible. I’d love to work with your family to find what routine works best for you! I want to give your pets the love, care, and attention they need! Every pet is different, and I’d love to take the time to learn your families’ routines in order to understand how to care for your pets well. I love spending quality time with pets, taking them on walks, sitting outside with them, and giving them lots of affection!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walden
Aly took great care of our senior cat who needed supplements and medication administered twice daily. He was a very happy and relaxed boy when we returned. We received daily pictures and updates. She was also very considerate about keeping his bowls clean and taking out the trash with cat food cans in it. We will trust her with our boy going forward. Highly recommended 😻
This is the first time we used Katie to watch our cat, and she did great! Our cat is still adjusting to her new home, but Katie made her feel at ease in our absence and offered plenty of comfort towards our cat. Katie came twice a day to feed the cat and tidy up, and she did more than expected! Highly recommend! A+
Emma did an amazing job caring for our dog, Fable, while we were away. She followed every instruction, sent updates after each visit, and included lots of photos so we always knew how Fable was doing. We came home to a very happy girl, and we’d happily book with Emma again and recommend her to others!
Sarah took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town! She clearly took her time and was very thorough in ensuring that each pet was cared for and happy. The pictures she sent were so reassuring and showed us just how comfortable everyone was with her. We will absolutely be asking Sarah for help with pet-sitting whenever we need it in the future! Thank you!
I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.

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.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
