“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
“Laura (and Jaxx and Gidget) took great care of June during a last minute weekend stay! When June wasn’t eating, Laura reached out to see if she could give a June some of her own fresh food (I said yes), and this did the trick. I received regular updates and photos and just felt like June was in a really safe, caring home while I was away. Thank you, Laura!”
About: We are a pet loving family who recently lost our family dog. We are hoping to help fill the void of losing our dog by loving on yours! We live in East Nashville and have a large, fenced in back yard ready for play time and potty breaks. We do have 2 younger children so we'd just need to confirm your pet is good with kids! I work from home 2-3 days per week and can arrange my schedule to be home with your pet, if needed. We can chat about how many hours and times per your dog needs to have potty breaks. We can offer walks, lots of playtime and cuddles! We have a large, fenced in back yard for the pets to run around as much as they'd like. We allow pets on furniture, if you want, or we can crate them when not home and keep to your schedule and preferences as much as you'd like!
“Nathan went above and beyond for our little Mickey boy. We didn't have to worry about Mickey at all while on vacation, which was so nice. We received pictures and videos of Mickey daily which we appreciated so much! We are definitely going to use Nathan again to watch our little Mickey for sure!!! 10/10 recommend!”
“Meghan and Terry were wonderful caretakers to my puppy. They did a great job sending me daily updates and pictures. Piper looked right at home during her stay. They were attentive to her needs, and administering her daily medication. I would book them again for any service.”
“If I could leave more stars for Asia I would! She took incredible care of our Penny while we were away. She took her on several walks a day and kept us up to date with pictures and messages. I think she learned a thing or two while with Asia too- which was icing on the cake. We will be booking again soon!”
“Amazing hosts for our cat! Super communicative with photos and videos. They were so friendly and our cat adored them. We felt completely at ease trusting them to take care of her. We will definitely go to back to them next time we a sitter!”
“We loved having Penny stay with Ritch! He sent the sweetest pictures and was great at communicating throughout her stay. I could tell she had had the best time and had been loved well when I picked her up.”
“Trey was so great with Tilly! He had her for a long weekend, kept me updated and made sure I didn’t have to worry a bit. Great experience, would recommend and hope to book again!”
“Alescia is a great sitter and person in general. Took great care of my pup, was very communicative, and would definitely refer her to others who are looking for a good dog sitter in the Nashville area.”
“We live in a screwed up world so my Bella helps me get thru the day. So I like to leave her when I have to with someone who is a true dog lover and Mrs Kathrine is that person. I don’t like dealing with a whole lot of people so hopefully I can let Bella enjoy a stay with her again”
About: Hi there! I’m Madison, and I absolutely love animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I learned early on that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and completely at home while you're away. Whether they prefer long, adventurous walks, high-energy playtime, or just curling up on the couch for some cozy movie-night cuddles, I tailor my care to exactly what makes them happy. I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family member, so I promise to keep you updated with plenty of cute photos and reassurance. I can't wait to meet your pup and treat them like a member of my own family! Incorporating pet care into my day is natural because my everyday routine is already built around the health, happiness, and high energy of my two Golden Doodles. These affectionate, active dogs require consistent structure, and my daily schedule aligns with their needs. I maintain a secure, hazard-free environment where toxic materials are entirely out of reach and open spaces are carefully monitored, ensuring peace of mind for you and complete freedom of movement for your pup. Building a deep, reliable sense of trust is my highest priority!
“Excellent care! The house and farm were perfect for my dog. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. My dog was EXHAUSTED when we picked her up. I think she had a great time.”
“Reganne is 10 stars out of 5. I received multiple videos and pictures of my sweet angel Scout every single day. It was incredible to receive little dopamine hits of my girl throughout each day on my week long excursion. She kept me up to date with Scout’s overall health and wellbeing throughout. I felt like my dog was truly in a safe place with a kind heart. I highly recommend Reganne. You won’t regret it.”
“Niyired is amazing! Jack was calm and relaxed when I picked him up after 3 days. I took him back to her today and he walked right in the door and went downstairs... didn't even say good-bye. 🤣 10/10. Very glad we found her!”
“Dotty and Anna are the sweetest with our baby! We know she had a blast with them and are grateful to have found them to care for our girl. Blue felt right at home with them and that says a lot for a very shy girl like her! We would definitely be bring Blue to have sleepovers with Oslo again when we’re away!”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
“Turiya was very easy to communicate and took very good care of Chino! She was very responsive and provided constant updates throughout his time with her. She took him on several walks and to the dog park as well. Would highly recommend her and would bring him back any time. Thank you!”
“Since I moved to Tennessee last year I haven’t left Lucy with anyone- ALSO in the past almost 13 years she’s always stayed with friends or family so leaving her with a complete stranger in a new state was extremely nerve wracking. Alexsandra exceeded my expectations. I didn’t have to worry about Lu not one time and I got the cutest pictures of her & rookie hangin’ out. I also know she had a great time because she came back super happy and slept for the next 24 hours.”
“Amanda was the greatest, she sent pictures daily so I could see how my baby was doing. I was afraid she was going to have anxiety separation cause she has gotten so attached to me. she also sent a video so I could see how she was playing.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Allie was awesome! It was our first time using Rover and our dog isn't used to being left with other people but she made him feel right at home with walks around her cute neighborhood and cozy apartment time. She was a great communicator, sent photos of our dog and was flexible when we hit some traffic and arrived later than planned. We would definitely use her again!
I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time, and even more nervous about leaving my Emmy girl. Dylan went out of his way to make sure that I was at ease for my entire trip. He was extremely responsive to any messages that I sent and provided me with great updates and photos throughout her stay. I have a very high energy pup and Dylan handled her beautifully! Book Dylan ... you won't regret it! I am extremely grateful for his outstanding care and communication. I have struggled with finding a good "boarding" option for my girl and I am so glad that I have one now! Looking forward to being able to use Dylan again in the future. Emmy had a great time with y'all and I cannot thank them enough for providing such an excellent home and experience for both me and Emmy!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Avondale is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $73 per night. 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.
96% of sitters in Avondale 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 Avondale 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 Avondale.
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 Avondale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Avondale 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.
