Including giving them any medication they may need

About: Hi! My name is Kelly . I am 23 years old and that is also how long I have been around animals. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc. My mom was a vet and my dad is a farmer. I have been around animals, healthy and sick. My love for animals is huge and I know I would be able to take care of others fur babies. I am very responsible and dependable. I would be able to sit with pets, take them for walks, or just drop in to feed them. I work in Franklin but live in Murfreesboro so my traveling range is big! I have a pretty flexible work schedule. So, I would be able to do morning or evening walks. Depending on my day, I can also do drop in visits during the day. I am also capable of feeding animals. I would care for your pets by taking them on long walks around the neighborhood. I can clean up messes and give plenty of head scratches!

“Emma was wonderful from the first day we communicated!! Very responsive and my dogs could not have loved her more! They were very well cared for while we were away and we’re grateful to have found her!”


About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve cared for family pets (including our 100-pound “pup” and cross-eyed kitty!) as well as the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving each dog the attention and affection they deserve. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and accommodate a variety of schedules and needs. I’m able to provide consistent care for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Every pet is different, so I like to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they get the care they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or just company and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages while you’re away.
About: My parents still love telling the story of when they told me I was going to have a baby brother. I looked them straight in the face and said, “I don’t want a human, I want a puppy!” Safe to say not long after, I got my very first dog, Bella, when I was four years old. From that moment on, Bella was my best friend. We grew up together, and wherever I went, she was right beside me. She taught me what unconditional love, patience, and responsibility look like. After an incredible 15 years together, I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl, but the love she gave me is the reason I care so deeply about every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, sticking to a senior dog’s routine, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were part of my own family. Although I work full-time, pet care fits naturally into my routine. I make time before and after work for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. On my days off, I have even more flexibility for longer visits, exercise, and quality time. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to stick to their normal routine and provide reliable, loving care while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to keep things as consistent as possible. Before caring for your pet, I’ll make sure I understand their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if any), favorite toys, and any quirks or preferences they have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and attention while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they’ll receive lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize their safety, monitor them closely, and make sure they feel relaxed and at home. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, secure, and well cared for until they’re back with their family.
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”

About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and receptionist since high school, giving me hands-on knowledge in caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I don’t just provide the basics — I make sure every cat or dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and photo updates for your peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in during the mornings before work, around lunchtime (12:00), and again after work (typically after 5:00). I’m dedicated to making sure pets get consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love during those times, so they never feel alone or overlooked. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so pets feel comfortable and secure — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I give lots of love and attention, keep their space tidy, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If pets are in my home, I provide a safe, cozy environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision, making them feel like part of the family while they’re with me.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! Growing up surrounded by pets, I learned early on how to provide the best care, love, and attention to furry family members. I’m the proud dog mom of two incredible pups: Stella, my energetic Labrador, and Hank, my playful Corgi. Raising them has given me firsthand experience managing high energy, playfulness, and ensuring their health and happiness. Alongside my experience with dogs, I’ve also cared for my father- and mother-in-law’s cat and my sister’s cats while she’s been away. These experiences taught me how to meet the unique needs of cats, from feeding schedules and grooming to providing a safe and comforting environment. In addition to my passion for animals, I have knowledge of basic medical care, including recognizing signs of illness, administering medication, and supporting overall health for both cats and dogs. Whether it’s playtime with pups, snuggling with cats, or maintaining routines to keep tails wagging and whiskers purring, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Let me help care for your beloved pets—they deserve nothing but the best! 🐾 Hey neighbors! As a full-time pet caregiver, I absolutely love what I do! I do have a wonderful pack of my own dogs to care for at home, which is why I truly appreciate advance notice for new bookings so I can coordinate everyone's schedules perfectly. 📅I am always happy to help out with morning, midday, or evening visits whenever things align! You can count on me to bring lots of positive energy and ensure your furry family members get all the love, undivided attention, and top-notch care they deserve! Can't wait to meet your pups! ❤️ Caring for my own pups, Stella and Hank, has taught me the importance of maintaining a consistent routine to keep them happy and healthy. They thrive on their set schedule, which includes two daily walks, either on my street or at the walking track near my home.We also spend quality time playing in the yard. My dogs love meeting and interacting with other animals, and I always ensure their time is filled with exercise, play, and lots of love.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Christiana
I can’t say enough about Cassi , she was amazing with my grumpy not stranger loving animals . She made friends with them at the meet and greet and became better friends over the days she came. My fiancé was away on business and I work in Nashville so it was so stress free knowing someone so kind and trust worthy would be in our home loving our furry kids. So glad we found her and will be having her back anytime we require any pet , home sitting of any kind.!

Emilee is the best! She saved the day! I was on vacation in Northern Europe on a cruise and I really needed to find someone responsible and dependable to take care of my babies (Snowy & Chloe). 💕 My neighbor had agreed to watch my girls for the last week of my trip and backed out the day before they were supposed to start! I had limited communication while at sea on my cruise but managed to find Emilee on Rover to watch my girls and she did an awesome job! I received updates daily with pictures of my babies which really took a huge load off my shoulders and allowed me to continue enjoying my vacation! I highly recommend her and would definitely contract her again in the future! 🙏🤗

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Christiana choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
