“Melanie took such good care of my dog and cat! She was so understanding my dog's anxiety and made sure he got play time in the yard when he didn't want to take a walk. She was also great with communication and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Heather has stayed with our pets a few times now and always does such an excellent job. She’s a great problem solver, tidy, and trustworthy. Thanks again, Heather!”
“Rose was a pure delight to communicate with. She sent pics and text updates of the pups each day which allowed us peace of mind while we were out of the country. Her personality and genuine nature set us at ease the moment we met with her a few days before she was to watch our two pups. We highly recommend her services and will be definitely be reaching out to her next time we are heading out of town. Thank you, Rose!”
“This was our second time asking Emma to take care of our buddy while we were away for a wedding. She is just the BEST! She's so flexible and understanding (and tolerant!) of my requests while we're away. Bodhi seemed to be wonderfully cared for when we returned, and Emma always leaves the house as she found it. We're excited to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Short review: 20/10, Sarah is incredible! Long review: I can’t say enough good things about Sarah! We have a 10 year-old lab and a 5 month old great pyr mix puppy and so having Sarah staying in our home was so wonderful to keep my girls comfortable and together. My Lab got sick several times on my last day of vacation and Sarah kept me updated almost every hour, escalated it and called the vet line to get advice. I was out of the country and so far from home, so having Sarah raise concerns for me and care for my girls like they were her own was incredible. I knew she was in good hands and if there were an emergency, Sarah would’ve gotten my 80+ lb lab to the vet ASAP! Between my little one having accidents and my older one being sick, Sarah not only cleaned up after them every time but also cleaned blankets and towels that got dirty. This was not expected and she went above and beyond. She of course also sent lots of fun updates and cute pics, and also ended the visit with a video detailing the laundry / cleanliness of my house. Thank you so so so much Sarah for your kindness and care of my girls (and home)!!”
“Elyssa stayed with our dog Elle for five nights in our home. We got frequent updates and came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Elyssa was very responsive and it was a great experience for us. Highly recommend - thanks Elyssa!”
“Carissa was wonderful while watching our dog and staying at our house!! She sent lots of cute pics, and took him on fun activities like to the park and to get a pup cup. Will definitely work with her again!!”
“Emily helped me out last minute and took time to let my somewhat difficult dogs warm up to her, which they did! She let me know all was going well while I was traveling and left my house very tidy. Thank you!”
About: I have pet sat for friends and family for 10 years now. I love meeting new animals and treat every animal as if they were my own! Furry friends of all ages and sizes are friends of mine! I grew up surrounded by big and small animals my whole life. My childhood dog had a leg amputation so I have experience with dogs that need medication or the ‘cone of shame’. I also have a 13 year old german shepherd, and know they are not as fast as they once were, so am happy to slow things down a bit for your senior furry friends. I also like to go on runs occasionally so if you have a higher energy puppy I would love to have them accompany me for a nice jog! I am a graduate student (in need of animal loving) so my schedule can be flexible. I am available Mon-Th after 4pm and all day on the weekends. I would love to take your dog out of your home for a nice walk and hang out with them! I would also love to hang inside and feed your dog or cat. If there are any dietary restrictions or medication your pet needs to take I am more than happy to accommodate them.
“My dogs felt comfortable and had fun with Joseph at my home while I was gone on a long trip. He gave me updates and photos and was very responsive to my messages. They got to play and go on walks. They are excited to see Joseph again during my next trip!”
“We were on vacation in Nashville needing a sitter and not knowing anyone in the area made it difficult until I found the Rover App. I was able to do a video chat with Stephanie, which made me feel comfortable with hiring her. She is very pleasant and easy to deal with and to talk with. If we are ever in Nashville again, I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”
“Asheley was amazing with our senior dog and cats. Our dog got sick a few days into our trip and she was great about sending updates and making sure she was ok (and cleaning up a huge mess!). I would definitely recommend using her.”
“Margaret stayed and watched our dog Betty and our cat pickles over the weekend. She was fantastic! She sent updated and pictures all the time, I felt really good about leaving them with her. I will use Margaret again in the future!”
“Shaneel was PHENOMENAL in caring for our pets and home while we were away. She sent photos everyday, asked questions when she needed (which I very much appreciate), was attentive to details, and was great at communicating the whole time. She took great care of our home and we’ve already booked her again for an another trip. I’ve had animals my whole life and have used many pet sitters through the years. I can say without a doubt she’s been one of the best! Truly, do no hesitate to book her!”
“Alexandra did an awesome job taking care of Clapton for us! Communicative, considerate and even had a plan in place for the potential storm/tornado watch that came Nashville’s way that weekend. Clapton seemed happy and had a fun time with his new friend :)”
“Thomas was super sweet from the very first meeting, and he was super considerate of all of my dogs needs. He sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder about how my pup was doing. Will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“I can’t say anything but great things about Lexi! Our doggo, Axel, has terrible separation anxiety BUT took to Lexi immediately. We entrusted her with our baby while we were away for a week and Lexi constantly met his needs by making sure he had food and water, exercise, and of course, cuddles! When in doubt, definitely reach out to Lexi! She is the best!!!”

Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for ten days for my two pups. Lauren went above and beyond with them and sent lots of pictures, which I appreciated. I could tell both of my dogs really bonded with Lauren and they were so sad when their time with Lauren was done! She took immaculate care of my home, leaving it spotless. I truly cannot recommend Lauren enough!
Jessie jumped in and was attentive with our two small 10 year old dogs. Both needed meds and one has specific diet needs and Jessie took care of them and didn’t bat an eye. She communicated well with us and sent frequent photos. We will definitely try to book her again if the need arises!
I can’t recommend Melody enough! She recently house-sat for me and took care of my dog, and the experience was absolutely stress-free. From the beginning, Melody’s communication was excellent—she kept me updated regularly, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly well cared for and stayed active the entire time. Melody also took amazing care of my home, leaving everything spotless and just as I left it. She’s incredibly professional, responsible, and kind—exactly the kind of person you want looking after your pets and your home. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter.
I can't rave about Grace enough as a dog and house sitter! She was incredibly considerate and respectful of my apartment, leaving it in even better shape than when I left. She gave multiple updates each day, always accompanied by adorable pictures of my pup, Cooper. He looked absolutely thrilled in every shot! It was clear he was having the time of his life, and it made my trip so much easier knowing he was in such loving hands. 10/10 - I wholeheartedly recommend Grace to watch your sweet pups! She will definitely be my go-to sitter for Cooper on future trips. Thank you so much, Grace, for making this such a wonderful experience!
Elyssa was great! My dog Cairo has never been watched by a someone he did not know, but he adored her. She also did a great job with my 21 year old kitty Rose and ensured she was taken care of and had lots of individual attention. Elyssa communicated great and I would absolutely trust her to watch my pets again.
William was a pleasure to work with! He stayed at our home and cared for our two dogs for a full week, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. He was communicative, responsible, and sent us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We’d gladly work with William again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
