Doggy Day Care Belle Meade

“Robin was amazing! What a blessing that we had the chance to find her. She took great care of our 2 small dogs and made them feel welcome! She was extremely attentive in taking care of them and their needs. Thank you Robin!!”

“Christopher was great. My 1 year old pup had no issues. Christopher was very quick to response to all my questions and provided updates during the stay.”

“Luigi had tons of fun at daycare today, thanks Ashley! Loved seeing all the pictures taken throughout his day and happy to hear he did well on his leash/walks too :)”

“We contacted Amanda on short notice to care for our dog overnight and she was wonderful to work with. Not only was she able to accommodate our schedule, but she was so caring toward our dog, who was not excited to be there. Amanda took very good care of her and worked with her to settle in for the night; by the morning she was happy again. I wouldn't hesitate to avail ourselves of Amanda's services again the next time we're in Nashville.”

About: Dogs and cats are the center of my world! I have over 11 years of paid and volunteered hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, including my own animals and those I’ve fostered through rescue organizations. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life but over the past 11 years I have volunteered at various animal shelters and provided the services offered on Rover through word-of-mouth and other platforms/websites! I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages—from newborns to seniors—and pets with medical conditions, special needs, and behavioral challenges. I also have experience with birds, rabbits, and some reptiles. My family owns a farm so I have experience providing care for farm animals as well! What sets me apart is my ability to quickly assess and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. I’m especially patient and attentive with nervous or reactive animals, and I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining structured routines, and creating calm, secure environments for animals in transition. AND I just might take the cutest/funniest candid photos of your pet that you’ve ever seen. Check out my photo gallery of cute fur babies I’ve loved on! Fostering has also given me valuable experience with socialization, basic training, post-surgery care, and working with pets recovering from trauma or neglect. I genuinely love building trust with animals and helping them feel safe, which is something pet owners consistently appreciate when they leave their companions in my care. IMPORTANT NOTES: *House sitting is a great way to ensure your pet has companionship in addition to having their physical needs met (food, water, bathroom etc.) Please note that house sitting and constant care are two separate services. Constant care (aka 24/7 house sitting) means that I would only leave your pet in the event of a genuine emergency. Otherwise, all of my time will be spent at your home caring for your pet. This is priced at an hourly rate, which will vary case by case. For traditional house sitting, we will discuss a plan that you’re comfortable with for how often I will leave your pet(s), and how long they will be left alone. If your request is well in advance of the stay, I can most likely adjust my schedule to focus more on your pet(s) if needed. Please vocalize your wants, needs, and expectations. **Meet and greets strongly suggested/required in some cases if: A) You have a pet with extreme anxiety, behavioral issues, or unknown reactions to being left in the care of a new person. B) You live in an apartment complex—mainly if you feel or have been told that your complex is difficult to navigate. I don’t want a large chunk of the visit to be spent trying to fI want to be spending as much time with your pet as possible! C) You have particularly unique and/or specific preferences for your pet’s care. I love detailed instructions—actually, I prefer you share as many details with me as you’d like. No one has ever bothered me with too many details/instructions! I would love to get a feel for and see what this will look like during the meet and greet. ***as of 2/20/26 I will have moved from Franklin, TN 37069 to Nashville, TN 37215. My ability to continue services with repeat clients from before that date (without an additional distance fee) is contingent on driving time to your location. **** if you find any part of the booking is not meeting your standards/expectations, please communicate this to me so I can adjust the issue or potentially request a refund via customer support for that visit. I strive to individualize care per your requests in order to effectively meet the needs of every client. Furthermore, I want my clients to always feel heard and supported. *****Boarding and day care information if you have a medium to XL size dog, pets who don’t react well to cats, and/or you prefer a yard and extensive exercise during the booking: My family owns a large property and farm about 10 minutes from my apartment. I am able to stay there in their guest house with your pets rather than board them at my apartment. That’s why it says I live in Greenhills yet also have a yard/fence, and live on a farm. This is honestly preferable for any large dog who are guarded/activated around other dogs. Like most apartment complexes, my complex is heavily populated by dog owners and we would encounter other dogs each time we go outside. That being said, I can still board larger and/or reactive dogs, dogs who don’t mix well with cats, and dogs requiring extra exercise. We would just be staying on the farm! ____________ More about me (if you’re curious): -Outside of pet care I am a licensed social worker (non-practicing at the moment) and a part time esthetician student. My social work career mostly includes providing individual or group mental health therapy, and case management for individuals experiencing homelessness, previously incarcerated, and/or with mental health and substance use disorders. As you can probably imagine, shifting towards Rover and esthetician school has been a major change! -During my free time I love working out—Pilates, barre, & running/walking. I’m relatively athletic so I can provide exercise tailored to each pet’s needs. With pets whose owners would prefer more exercise, I am able to provide more fast paced exercise, such as speed walking or jogging. And you’ll never have to worry if your dog happens to be a larger dog and/or pulls on the leash. Still haven’t met a dog I haven’t been able to walk! -I’m very big on volunteer work since I am not currently practicing social work. I have a very nurturing side, and while I’m so excited to become an esthetician, I would love to still be engaged in service of others. Right now I am developing an outline for a “pay what you can” farm-to-table service using the products of my family’s farm. Also in progress is an incorporation of my skincare, beauty, and wellness services into a larger ministry that serves survivors of trafficking, addiction, and/or DV. -During my free time I also enjoy binging thrillers and crime dramas during my free time. I’ve been getting into true crime podcasts. So yes, I’ll most likely be listening to Dateline while driving to our meet and greet at your house when I’ve never met you before. As if I need to be any more nervous about that part of this job! Happy to do it though. I love this job. But if you do happen to want to meet at a dog park or coffee place, I won’t object! - I’m a Nashville native and the oldest of four kids in my family. I’m a bit of an extroverted introvert. I enjoy my alone time and being home as much as possible. But if you bring me around social situations, I could talk to just about anyone about anything. - I have a kitten, young adult kitty, and a senior cat living with me full time. I have a senior (family) dog living with me only a few months out of the year when my parents snowbird in Florida. However, due to his recent decline in health/mobility, he most likely won’t be living with me in Winter 2026, unfortunately. I commute to a night school M-Th 5:30pm-10pm and work another job remotely. A few days each month, I work in person and won’t have much availability on those days. I typically know my schedule 1-3 weeks out, so scheduling conflicts are adjustable if I’m already available for the majority of the booking. Last minute bookings are typically contingent on flexibility and/or my being available without having to cancel appointments or compromise the quality of another pre-existing booking. Rover is my main obligation outside of school. I prioritize my rover bookings over most things. Alongside client satisfaction, self-care is imperative to me. While I am finishing school over the next few months, I typically will not accept early morning bookings unless there is flexibility with the times. However, I am able to offer late night visits on days off from school due to my routine sleep schedule. Quite a few of my repeat clients work night shifts and I’ve provided care for their pets between 11pm-4am. I try to avoid committing to any visits after 4am and before 10am so that I can keep a consistent sleep schedule, and be punctual for you! When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions from the owner, including dietary needs, medications, walking preferences, and any behavioral considerations. I have gained a good amount of experience over the last few years in the area of taking care of senior pets and pre-adoption pets. My pup, Pasco, is currently receiving medications and palliative care, so I have personally experience in this area. Before adopting my kitten, Ocean, I recently fostered three pre-adopted kittens that needed bottle-feeding and gentle help with passing stool. I make sure the home environment is pet-proofed—keeping hazards like wires, cleaning products, and choking risks out of reach. I also monitor pets closely for any signs of distress, illness, or unusual behavior and will notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is equally important. I take time to get to know each animal’s temperament, routines, and comfort zones so they feel safe and secure in my presence. Whether in my home or theirs, I maintain a calm, structured environment, offer plenty of positive attention, and create a consistent routine that pets can rely on. Regarding trust and safety, as a sitter I also request that you disclose any video and/or audio surveillance inside your home before officially booking with me. It goes against Rover’s guidelines (and federal law) to not disclose indoor surveillance. I recognize that it is part of today’s culture to have at least some form of video surveillance on one’s property. 90% of clients I work with have some form of video surveillance. As an owner myself, who also hires Rover sitters to care for my pets, I understand there’s an element of trust that has not yet been built, in addition to the general security concerns associated with being out of town. I am not against video surveillance and wouldn’t turn away a client for having a couple cameras. However, excessive surveillance throughout the inside of your home is not something I’m comfortable with, personally. I have no doubt you’ll find someone who doesn’t mind, but I am not that person. For in-home services, I’m respectful of the client’s space—leaving things clean and secure, and keeping communication open with daily updates, photos, and check-ins so the owner feels confident their pet is in good hands.

About: I am a work-from-home (dog) mom. I have two Australian Shepherds, who I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old, so I have experience with very high energy dogs/puppies. They are very well behaved with other dogs, and love to socialize. I have always grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old, and couldn’t imagine not having a dog at any age. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to give constant attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feeding! Since I am home a lot of the time, pets are not alone for long periods of time. I also love to stay active, so walks & outdoor time are regular parts of my day. At home, I create a safe, comfortable and low-stress environment. With my two dogs, I often watch my best friend’s dog, so I am very used to managing multiple dogs. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. If a clients dog prefers its own time/space, I can accommodate due to having multiple floors/rooms in my home for separation. When caring for a clients dog in their home, I’m very respectful of their space and stick to the schedule I am told. I also provide updates such as photos and videos so the owner is more comfortable!

“Amazing job with my pup!”

Sydney G.

“Melissa was so good with Blue. He played well with Hudson and she sends lots of photos and updates. Her yard is the best we have ever experienced. Both her front and backyard are fully fenced with lots of shade and room to run and play. I will definitely be leaving Blue with Melissa and Hudson again.”

Carrie H.

“Ally was awesome!! Thank you for making our first experience so good!”

Kristy D.

“Xue was great, Hoochu immediately loved her! She was very good at communicating everything and she was able to take care of him even though it was a very short notice. I will definitely book with her again!!”

Gabriela G.

“Jonathan was great! I was visiting Nashville and needed a last minute dog sitter for the day due to unexpected meetings, and he was flexible and communicative not to mention took great care of my pup. Would absolutely use him anytime!”

Sarah M.

“Taylor is amazing!!! She genuinely cared for Jackson. He was really sad when we left and she made him feel loved. When we returned, we could tell he had a great time with Taylor. We knew he trusted her when Taylor sent a picture of Jackson napping and he was lying upside down. He only does that when he trusts people. We will definitely reach out to Taylor again for day care.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and could not imagine life without them! Pets deserve all of the attention and love even when you’re gone. I understand the stress of having to leave your pup and can assure you they’ll be in great hands! We’ll go on walks, play throughout the day and snuggle at night. I work from home full time. I am here to hang with them and keep them busy while you are gone. I take my own pup on daily walks and Riley loves to have a friend around. I have lots of grass around my apartment and a big dog park for them to play. I also love going on walks with them and being active if that’s what they like!

“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”

About: I'm a dog lover with two miniature dachshunds who loves caring for other small dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I started pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy having extra puppy friends around. I only take one small dog at a time, so every guest gets lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, relaxed home environment. I’m a PhD student who works primarily from home, so your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide daycare and overnight boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets the care, love, and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have two friendly miniature dachshunds, Kiki and Lulu, who love other small dogs. To create a calm and safe environment, I only accept small breeds. Every dog is introduced slowly, supervised during play, and given their own space if they need a break. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine for meals, potty breaks, medications, and bedtime, and I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time.

“Jaxson had his first daycare visits with Julie and her sweet pup Ellie last week. Julie sent frequent videos and pictures to share in his escapades in settling in and giving and receiving love. The frequent updates made me SMILE HARD throughout my work day. It felt great knowing that he was was having a great time and getting some engagement instead of being home alone. Julie was such a great find, very close to work, she took special care in understanding his likes and dislikes which made Jaxson feel at ease with her and her family in no time! I will definitely continue to request her care of my fur angel!!”

Cheryll L.

“Tara was amazing! Cleo went with her and didn’t look back. She came home happy. Highly recommend.”

Douglas N.

“Elizabeth was so great with our dog and her dog George was a great playmate with Mila! She kept me informed throughout the day and sent us a great video. Looks like they had a photoshoot as the rover card had great pictures. Highly recommend!”

Drew H.

“Sloane was so kind and took such good care of my girl! I will definitely reach out to her again for my pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes. We have two black labs and a shepherd mix. We also have a cat and several aquatic creatures. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of free time to care for your pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m very detail-oriented and happy to follow your instructions for the best care for your pets. I love walking so happy to do neighborhood walks or hit the local hiking trails or dog parks.
