“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”
“Candice and Matt were absolutely wonderful! They are incredibly responsive and took such good care of our baby, he had a blast! I highly recommend them!”
“Alexa welcomed our two corgis into her home while we were out of town, this was the first time they have stayed with someone other than family. Her communication was great, and her and her husband certainly spoiled our dogs and loved on them just as if they were home with us. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!”
“Serenity did a wonderful job hosting our pup. She provided frequent updates with photos, and was very responsive to all communication. Would absolutely book with again!!”
“Trish is a very kind host and did great with our 1 year old Australian Shepherd. She has a great space downstairs where she's able to watch dogs, and I felt great leaving our dog with her. Our dog, Willow, loved her too! Highly recommend booking Trish!”
“Heather was great, our doggos had fun and we were sent videos daily! It was much nicer for our dogs to be with Heather and in her home than a clinical type setting of boarding them with the veterinarian clinic. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“Our dog is always so happy and loved with Erika & Erik! We get many smiling pictures while we’re away, which makes leaving her so much easier. Highly recommend!”
“Gabbi and Justin did such a fantastic job watching our pup! They were so sweet and and took care of her like she was their own. The updates and pictures gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious that Dove was very well loved while she was with them. We're happy to have found such great sitters for our girl! 😊”
“Cody was great. He’s very welcoming from the beginning which eased the transition at first. He provided daily updates. I was at ease knowing my pup was with him. Highly recommend! He kept my doggy for more than a week.”
“Katie took excellent care of Princess and Gizmo at her home! When we picked up the dogs they were happy to see us, but also sadden to leave their vacation and new friends behind. Gizmo and Princess had other boxers to play with and they all got along splendidly. Katie was patient and empathetic in dealing with Gizmo's puppy inconsistencies and I truly thank her for tolerating them. When we go out of town again, we will definitely leave Gizmo and Princess in Katie's care again! Thank you, Katie and to "all" that helped care for our boxers!”
“Talking about feeling like you’ve known a family forever upon meeting! That’s how it feels to meet Chelsie & Jesse. The love & care she gave our corgi was amazing. I have never used Rover & Chelsie was a recommendation from a friend. I will never NOT use them in the future. The peace I felt was priceless. Chelsie sends loads of pics twice a day along with updates on how your pet is doing. Their own pugs are so cute & perfect playmates for any dog. Not enough wonderful things to say about this family. 1000% recommend!”
“Stephanie really brought out my dog’s personality! T had the time of her life and I knew she was in good, qualified hands. I even learned a thing or two. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and will be back next year. *such cute photos too :)”
“Tyler is a kind and caring pet sitter for Holly. She did pretty well there. Tyler cared for her pre-existing paw wound very well. He treated Holly as his own and sent photos to us regularly. Tyler is great with dogs and thorough in their care and enjoyment. He communicates promptly and gives all his love to the dogs.”
“Incredible experience! This was the first time we were leaving our puppy with a boarder. I felt so comfortable leaving Cleo in Cheryl’s care. I wasn’t worried about our pup at all. I received daily updates and pics. And Cleo had the time of her life staying with Cheryl. Thank you to Cheryl and her family for taking such great care of our puppy!”
“Amy was very accommodating when we had to leave our Ellie with her on short notice. She and her family are very friendly and obviously love dogs. After a short warm-up period, Ellie had a great time playing with their dog, Scarlet. We are glad we found Amy as Ellie was very well taken care of. We would definitely leave Ellie with them again.”
“Lisa was great with our pups over the long stay. I would recommend her to anyone! And the photos that she took for the pups are priceless… she could definitely moonlight as an animal photographer!! Thanks, Lisa, for keep my girls smiling!!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Whitehead 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 Whitehead 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 Whitehead.
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 Whitehead. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Whitehead 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.
