“Angela is the real deal. If you want someone who is flexible, attentive, and treats your fur babies like royalty, look no further. She was quick with questions/responses, arrived and left our home on time, and met the social and health needs of our dogs brilliantly. We felt at such ease having her with them when we couldn't be, and we can't wait to book her again!”

“Lydia cared for Lou twice a day, sent me pictures each visit to confirm her being there without me asking for that. Even came early before a storm one day so Lou didn’t have to go out in the rain. Communication was great so I recommend!”

About: Licensed and Insured!! Dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’m a certified professional dog trainer with experience working with puppies, adolescent dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges. My background includes puppy development, obedience training, leash manners, confidence building, behavior modification, fear and reactivity work, environmental exposure, scent work, service dog foundations, and remote collar conditioning. Whether I’m caring for your dog or working on training, my goal is always to provide safe, structured, compassionate care. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. Every dog is treated like family, while maintaining healthy structure and routine. I believe every dog is an individual. So I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, comfort level, and needs. So they feel safe and secure during their stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because dogs are already a central part of both my personal and professional life. As a certified dog trainer and owner of KinetiK9 Dog Training, I structure my schedule around the care, exercise, and enrichment of dogs every day. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while ensuring each pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, medication administration, or overnight care, I am committed to making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. Your dog’s safety is my highest priority. So I closely supervise and follow instructions carefully. Before booking, please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioral concerns, triggers, or favorite routines. The more I know, the better I can care for them. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. And I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with active adventure or a comfy companion while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Danny! I’m a dog trainer and enrichment-focused sitter based in Nashville, TN. I’ve been working with dogs for over 20 years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them happy. While I do great with all dogs, I especially have a soft spot for high-energy pups and strong personalities — the ones people often say are “a lot of dog.” Whether it’s a German Shepherd, Malinois, Rottweiler, or just an energetic family dog that needs more structure, I’m here to help them succeed. My approach is simple: your dog doesn’t just get watched — they get engaged. Every visit includes some level of enrichment, whether that’s structured walks, light training, play, or helping reinforce good habits. This keeps your dog mentally stimulated, which usually means a calmer, happier pup when you get home. I’ve also worked with: Puppies who are still learning the basics (potty training, routines, etc.) Senior dogs who need a slower, more patient approach Dogs with special needs, including hearing or vision loss Reactive or strong-willed dogs that need someone confident and consistent No matter the dog, I adjust to their needs and energy. I work from home full-time, so your dog gets real attention — not someone rushing in and out between a busy schedule. I also make sure you stay updated with photos, videos, and clear communication so you always feel at ease. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or someone who can match their energy, you can count on me to show up with patience, structure, and genuine care. If you think we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet you and your dog! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, complementing my outdoor adventures and entrepreneurial endeavors. While I cherish my time in nature, I ensure that my furry friends receive ample love and attention during indoor moments, especially as I work on e-commerce platforms that celebrate my profound affection for dogs. Whether it's romping through the great outdoors or nurturing my digital ventures, pet care remains a cherished priority woven into the fabric of my life. At both my home and my client's, your pet's well-being is my top priority. They'll receive constant supervision under my watchful eye. If I need to step out briefly, your pet will either accompany me or stay in our specially designated play area. This secure space is equipped with all the essentials: water, a cozy bed, doggie TV for entertainment, and a camera for continuous monitoring, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. Your pet's happiness and security are paramount in every aspect of their care with me.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carthage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
