“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!”

“Emily was great! She responded to my last-minute request after another sitter canceled on me. She runs a doggy daycare and knows exactly what she’s doing! Wilson was well cared for.”

“An amazing dog sitter! Very responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring. Enzo was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly appreciated the updates and attention given. I would absolutely book again!!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember! I grew up with Airedale Terriers and started caring for other people’s pets early - from neighborhood dog walker in middle school, to go-to pet sitter in college, and eventually an experienced Rover sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, along with cats, small animals, and even a chameleon. My own three dogs have expanded that experience even further. Maia, my beagle and soul dog, has seizures, chronic elevated liver enzymes, allergies, a time-sensitive medication regimen, and a customized diet. Her care involves multiple veterinary specialists, and she’s been through emergency surgery, specialty dental care, and most recently a liver biopsy. Because of her, medications, special diets, navigating complex care plans, and noticing subtle changes are very familiar territory. Willow, my timid rescue who went from foster to family came to us fearful of nearly everything (ceilings and shadows being the scariest) and she didn’t even know what a bed was. Since then, we’ve been learning brave together, slowly discovering that new people, places, and experiences can be safe. She’s taught me so much about reading body language, encouraging without pushing, and recognizing when a nervous dog simply needs patience and space. I have a huge soft spot for shy and fearful dogs, especially the ones who make you earn their trust. Ghost, our senior pitty, has given me plenty of experience with big personalities, sassy attitudes, and high energy dogs. He recently was diagnosed with cancer and had a tumor removal followed by particularly complicated wound healing, so prolonged recovery, wound care, medications, and activity restrictions (even when they don’t want it) have become familiar territory too. Between the three, I’ve worked with very different dogs with very different starting points, training and routines. I’m happy to maintain established commands, boundaries, and training for consistency, or follow a more relaxed routine if you prefer simply keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I’m here to follow what works best for your fur baby! 🤍 Professionally, I spent seven years as a critical care nurse and I’m now an ICU nurse practitioner. Human and veterinary medicine are very different, but detailed instructions, precise schedules, noticing subtle changes, and staying calm when something unexpected happens are second nature to me. Most importantly, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of Rover. Please give me the detailed instructions, medication schedules, fears, quirks, and weird little things only you notice — I genuinely want to know. I’d love to meet your pet exactly where they are and care for them the way I’d want someone to care for mine 🐾 I recently moved to Nashville and have a little over a month before starting my new position, so my availability is currently wide open! I’m naturally a night owl, so early mornings, evenings, and unconventional hours don’t scare me 😂 My goal is to fit into your pet’s world, not expect them to fit into mine. I’d love to learn their normal routine, household rules, training, favorite things, fears, and what makes them feel safest, whether that’s cuddles and constant companionship or simply being given a little space. I’m especially aware of environmental safety, medications, dietary restrictions, doors/gates, and keeping tempting objects away from curious mouths (my beagle has taught me well 😂). For nervous pets, I’m happy to slow things down and let them decide when they’re ready to interact. If you have established commands, boundaries, or training in place, I’ll maintain them for consistency. Your routine stays their routine. ❤️

“Kayahja took chiwi in for the weekend and she sent me pictures and videos every single day! She was very quick to respond to my texts and very communicative. She was also so accommodating to chiwis needs and sent us home with a couple of toys. I would absolutely bring chiwi back to kayahja next time I'm in Nashville:)”

“Ashley was fantastic! Our miniature dachshund, Rumford, had such a fun time! He enjoyed running around in her yard and Ashley sent plenty of pictures everyday which was so nice and reassuring! I’m so glad to have found a dog sitter that I can trust our puppy with!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and small pets, and I'm comfortable with both large and small breeds. My own senior dog receives daily oral medication, so I'm confident administering oral medications when needed. I treat every pet like they're part of my family and focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. While I have not had experience on a formal app like this, I have been caring for family/ friends pets for years. Pet care is already a part of our everyday routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and my job is only five minutes from home, so I’m able to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and quality time. My husband also helps care for the pets from time to time, giving them additional care throughout the day. Before and after work, we make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Our evenings and weekends are much more flexible, allowing us to spend even more time caring for your pet. We understand how important routines are, and we’ll do our best to keep your pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I share my home with my friendly senior dog, Major. He is well-socialized, gentle, and have done well with other animals I've cared for in the past. My husband also helps care for pets from time to time, so your pet will have another trusted, caring person around to give them attention and companionship. I live in an apartment with plenty of walking areas nearby, including dog parks where I regularly take my own dog. My home has hard flooring, so accidents are easy to clean up, and I have plenty of toys to keep pets entertained. I also have a home camera so I can monitor pets whenever I'm away. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and administering oral medications. If needed, I'm also able to transport pets safely to appointments or in case of an emergency. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my husband and I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.

“She was fantastic. She sent updates and pictures regularly and the pup seemed to love her too. I would highly recommend Mia and I’ll be booking her again.”

Brenton P.

“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our girl! She watched our dog for a full week and went above and beyond the whole time. We got photo updates multiple times a day, which made being away so much easier, and she took our pup on walks every single day. When we got home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We can’t recommend her enough!”

Megan and Chad M.

“Nathan was awesome! We received photos and videos and he kept us informed on how our dog was doing. Nathan took her for walks and spoiled her rotten. We couldn't have been more pleased!”

Vickie K.

“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!”

Tess T.

“Esther is the only one I trust to watch our sweet girl. She always sends daily updates and pictures which is nice to see while we’re away. Savannah is always excited to see her when I drop her off which is further proof she’s getting excellent care.”

Mandy H.

“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Asia made the experience seamless. She sent us photos and updates several times a day which eased any anxiety I had about leaving her and our kids loved being able to see her awhile away. Asia even took the time to meet us in person prior to the boarding stay. We would and will book with Asia again! She’s wonderful!”

Nicole E.

“Margaret did a great job watching all 3 of our dogs. They all have different personalities and needs and she was able to handle all of them with ease. Our dogs came home happy and tired. We will definitely rebook with Margaret and recommend her to friends and family!”

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!

“Lisa is a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog sitter. This was my second time leaving Rio with Lisa, and when I arrived at her place, Rio ran towards her, wagging his tail, happy to see her. Thank you so much, Lisa, for taking such good care of Rio once again. If you are looking for a great and trustworthy dog sitter, I highly recommend Lisa.”

“Julie and Josiah were wonderful! Their dog Nova is super friendly and played so well with our golden. They kept us informed on how things were going, sent pictures and made the overall experience seamless. We look forward to booking with them again!!”

Samantha S.

“I must say this was the best dog sitting experience I have had. Austin was wonderful. His home was clean. And my dog is a big dog so there was plenty of yard for my dog to run and get exercise. As well as plenty of space indoors. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how Nova was doing. Very friendly and will definitely be using his services again.”

Dr. K.

“First time trying Rover and can’t recommend Madeline enough! She was great from start to finish! Extremely communicative, thoughtful, and energetic. I know Piper had a great time during her stay and I’m sure anyone’s furry friend would have the same great experience!”

Charles H.

“Effua is great! We were traveling through town for a job interview on the way to a holiday family visit which is why we had our dog. It was very complicated scheduling. Effua was very accommodating and our dog came back to us happy and calm. We chose Effua because of her reviews and the number of repeat clients she has. We were not disappointed in any way.”
