“Laura’s care of Paden and Rika was outstanding! They were happy and relaxed when we arrived last night. She communicated with us throughout our trip to assure all was well here at home including daily photos! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their pets and home.”
About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.
“Allie was AMAZING!! We were very careful to find the best for our fur babies and so glad we met Allie. She provided a detailed report at the end of the day and sent so many pics, it was evident she loves animals and takes her work very seriously. Aloe is mature, knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. She left our home in perfect condition and our pets were very happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will be having her stay with them to help us again soon!”

“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”

About: My name is Joseph, but people call me Jo. I previously owned a German Shepherd up until March of 2023. I have experience with dogs both big and small and would be glad to look over yours! I'm currently working in the mornings. I will be available anytime after 4:00 pm Monday - Friday. I'm available to work anytime time Saturday including nights. At the moment I'm not accepting pets at my place. However, I would be glad to make the visit to your homes to watch or walk your pet!
“LOVED having Kathryn stay with our precious pup!!! We are new to the area and haven't gone on a trip or even been away from our dog in over 2 yrs. After reading all the raving reviews about Kathryn and noticing her flexible schedule, we knew she'd be a perfect fit! She gave our dog tons of attention and took great care of her. She had such a blast with Kathryn. We look forward to using her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else!”

“Courtney took wonderful care of our aged dog and our home during our vacation. Our dog's advanced age took special care and attention, and she worked with him, convinced him to eat, adjusted his diet as needed, gave him walks in the rain, and helped him deal with our absence. Many thanks to Courtney!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I don’t currently have pets of my own so my schedule is flexible.My job allows me to leave for lunch and leave early if needed to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I can cater to any feeding or boarding schedules necessary. I am proactive and a problem solver and will ensure your dog is taken care of.
About: I grew up on an acreage surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, chickens, bees, and just about everything in between! Caring for animals has been a normal part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m a young adult who loves people, animals, and adventure. Outside of pet sitting I have worked in EMS, have served as a pastor, and am currently pursuing my masters in humanitarian aid. Those experiences have taught me to be dependable, compassionate, attentive, and calm when unexpected things happen. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so if your dog wants long walks, playtime, or an adventure buddy, I’m all in. And if your pet would rather curl up on the couch and have some company, I’m pretty great at that too! Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family. I’ll care for your pets (and your home!) with the same kindness and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My schedule is flexible, which makes pet sitting a great fit for me! I’m careful to accept bookings where I know I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so I absolutely love getting to spend time with other people’s animals. I’m active and outdoorsy, so walks, playtime, and adventures fit naturally into my day—but I’m just as happy hanging out at home and keeping your pet company. When I accept a booking, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine works well with my schedule so they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special routines I’m comfortable providing, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure everything is kept clean, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Every animal is different, so I’m always happy to learn their quirks, favorite activities, routines, and boundaries and adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest.
“Ryan is a fantastic dog and house sitter who loved on my dog Brady and gave him great care. He is so calm and responsible that I didn’t have a care in the world while being away for two weeks. I walked into my home just as I had left it and I think an even calmer dog than when I left him in his care. My flight was cancelled and he even stayed another night and brought him to Pet Paradise for a day of play when asked. I highly recommend Ryan as you couldn’t ask for a more helpful and knowledgeable pet sitter. Thanks Ryan for everything!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years for family & friends. I love dogs and know they are more than a pet they are family with the biggest hearts and unconditional love. I enjoy spending time with dogs and taking care of their needs. I currently have a traditional day job. I am available to walk/sit for dogs on the weekends. I can pet sit during the week if your dog is crate trained. I have a little dog, Prince, who can be sassy but is a big mama’s boy. I live on several acres with lots of woods to run around in. The yard is not fenced.
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.

“Chas was an incredible sitter for our antisocial, grumpy older dog. She immediately put us at ease with her calm, confident manner and clearly knew how to effectively interact with and handle dogs. She did bring her dog along, which worried me at first, but he was extremely well trained and after watching her introduce them, I felt confident that she knew how to handle them both. She left the house perfectly clean, followed our instructions, and sent updates on our dog throughout her stay. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found someone we trust with our picky dog and will absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Oh my gosh being new to the area - I was so nervous about finding someone to trust with my fur babies who are seniors with different medicines and Trey was amazing. He diligently took care of all their needs, played with them, sent photos and videos , asked all the right questions...we are so thrilled to have him!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 445 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Whitwell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Whitwell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Whitwell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
