“Tanya always takes such good care of our pups and I look forward to the messages and pictures she shares after each visit. She takes the time to play with each dog and adjust to their needs. I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone in need of pet care services.”

Everyone who knows me knows my love for animals and I'm always the person they call when they need help with theirs! I'm excited to meet your fur babies and very lucky if you choose to trust me with them ! :) I am available Monday - Thursday typically anytime. I don't mind to do multiple drop ins! My schedule varies week to week but as long as i'm gave a heads up I can move my schedule around! Leave me a detailed list of how to care for your babies & I will try my hardest to go above and beyond to fulfill it!
“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, providing feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and overnight care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I have grown up with all sorts of pets and i’m excited to care for yours! I have a very flexible schedule and am fully available to care for pets throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays when needed. At this time, I am unable to offer boarding services because I do not have enough yard space to safely and comfortably accommodate pets overnight.
“Journey was awesome! Our boys looked so happy in all the pics she sent, and they seemed to barely even care that we came home from vacation lol. She obviously took great care of them and gave them lots of love!”
About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.
“Sydney was great with our two spoiled cats. She arrived on time and provided thorough recaps of her visits with adorable photos. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was looking in on them and that they were happy to see her!”
“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: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have plenty of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I have horses of my own and have cared for everything from horses and donkeys to dogs, cats, and even fish. I also have two dogs of my own: a giant Goldendoodle (and I mean GIANT lol!) and a little wiener dog, along with two cats, a Maine Coon and a white shorthair. In addition to caring for my own pets, I take care of my boss’s two dogs every day at work, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I also have lots of experience looking after other people’s animals, from the tiniest pups to the biggest dogs and everything in between! I know every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, and I love getting to know each one. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra care while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll always treat your animals like they’re my own and make sure they’re loved and well taken care of! I currently work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and I have college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 AM to 11 AM. Outside of those hours, my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. I know everyone has different routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you and your furry friends! Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, a walk, or a longer stay, feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for everyone! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care because I feel the exact same way about my own! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just their favorite little routines! I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same love and care I give my own!
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 cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Before I was 8, I had two amazing dogs and three precious and crazy cats. Since then (almost 20 years), I have cared for so many wonderful animals, from my own pets to professionally caring for dogs and cats through sitting and through dog walking. I love dogs of all size, and have experience caring for dogs as small as chihuahuas and dachshunds, to large labs, retrievers, doodles, mastiffs, and pitbulls. I've cared for puppies all the way to senior pups, including sick pets who I've administered medications to and prepared specialized diets for, including my own sweet pup who fought cancer several years ago. I have also fostered dogs with medical needs who were not able do well in shelter due to their conditions. I'm totally comfortable with multi pet homes. I love animals so much and treat each animal as if they're my own beloved pet. Nothing makes me happier than caring for animals and making them feel safe, happy, healthy, and loved. My work schedule changes week to week, but for the most part I make my own schedule and have flexibility to take as many breaks as possible in between appointments. I generally work more in the late afternoons and evenings, and my mornings especially are often completely free. Weekends are also free with enough notice! At this time I offer pet sitting services at the pet owners home, as well as additionally offering dog walking, and/or pet care drop ins throughout the day.
“Amber was so wonderful! She made us feel so much better about leaving our kitten for a few days because she sent many pictures and long descriptions of what our kitten was up to. She genuinely cares about your pet & we would 100% use her again!”
About: Caring for animals is more than a job to me, it's something I genuinely love! I provide pet care and house sitting full-time, allowing me to offer reliable, flexible, and personalized attention.

I'm trustworthy, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping your pets comfortable and happy while you're away. You can count on regular updates, plenty of pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring hands! Pet care is my full-time focus, so my schedule is flexible and built around the needs of the animals I care for! I'm typically available 7 days a week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I enjoy spending my days with animals and make it a priority to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a consistent daily routine or occasional care while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule. My place features a secure, fenced in backyard and easy indoor access, ensuring your furry friends have plenty of space to play and relax. With constant supervision, and a pet friendly environment, your pets will feel right at home while you are away.
“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!”
“Joslynne was amazing with our pup Indy! He's a very anxious and nervous dog around strangers so we were worried when a friend who usually watches him was not able to the week we were leaving town for our wedding. Joslynne met Indy before we left for our wedding, and had several drop in visits with the Indy where he grew more and more comfortable with her. By the end they were even playing fetch! Joslynne was amazing to work with and I really appreciate her taking the time to understand our anxious Indy during the drop ins. We look forward to requesting her services for future drop in visits if she's available!”
“Laura watched my dogs at my house for the second time. I enjoyed the pictures and visit descriptions she shared. My pets like her. She's gives them good care. I'll book with her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Carley or most know me as Angelina! I have been caring for furry fiends all my life! I have had a several goldens, yorkies, and my current little guy is a german short haired pointer! I absolutely love getting to play, walk, or snuggle with any pet of any size! I definitely believe the saying that a dog is a mans best friend and believe that we should treat our animals as such.I as a fellow dog mom understand how important it is to have someone you can trust watching a member of your family. I believe spending just a few hours with an pet (or human, in their case) can change the whole mood for the day. I am fairly flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your family member is cared for! From walking and check ins, to pet sitting, or even spending your day out with your four legged friend, I know your little friend will be loved and happy in my care. I feel comfortable feeding, playing with, walking, and even taking your pets on outings! My work schedule is a set one, so I can stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work and anytime during the weekends. If you need something a little bit different let me know and I am happy to accommodate your needs! I have a huge yard that all dogs love to run in and I live in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walking in.

“We had Becca come for a meet and greet while we were home to meet our pack and the setup for future house sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 747 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whiteside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Whiteside. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
