Doggy Day Care Green Hills

“Robin was amazing with my pup even offering to pick up and drop off. I can tell they had a great time together and I never had any worried during their visit.”

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.

“Kaelyn was lovely and took great care of our baby! She’s also very responsive and responsible. We will definitely connect with her again!”

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

“Jonathan is the best dog sitter/walker/everything! He’s worth every penny he charges! I have a service dog and since he has experience with dog training and services dogs i wasn’t worried at all about my dog learning bad behaviors or habits. And u don’t even need to have a service dog to hire him! From what the other reviews said, their dogs came back from him even better behaved than when they were left in his care! My dog Chunk enjoyed his time with Jonathan and when I come again to visit my niece, I will definitely be hiring him again!”

“Amanda is an incredibly kind, nurturing, and loving dog-sitter. She was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and our dog would wag his tail in excitement when he got out of the car and knew he was at Amanda's house. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

About: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Thanks for taking such great care of June. She loved the play!”

“So easy to work with! I needed someone short notice and Ariana was very quick to communicate + reliable! Thank you for taking great care of Hiker :)”

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always had family pets; fish, chickens, a horse, dogs, a hamster, cats - you name it! Growing up, I was the person who wanted to help with feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure our pets felt loved. Two years ago, I got my own puppy, a miniature dachshund! Having my first pup all to myself gave me even more experience with pet care and understanding a dog's individual needs and personality. Since moving to Nashville, my pup has stayed back in my hometown with my parents, where she has a yard to run around and the familiar people she loves. While I know keeping her home was the best decision for her and she's thriving, I miss her tons and realized that I need pets in my life again! I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own dog. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, or simply someone dependable to stick to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently taking the summer off, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet throughout the week. Just reach out and let me know your ideal schedule! At my apartment, I have a roommate who may be around, but will not be involved in caring for your pet. We have one cat who is quite shy and very sweet. Because of this, we have plenty of cat toys, food, and a spare litter box should your kitty come over! As for dogs, we have plenty of space, though no dog-specific toys/equipment. If your pup comes over, I will happily bring anything from your home that they’ll need to have a comfy stay. In general, my apartment has plenty of space for your pet to lounge, play, and have a great time. For outside time, we have a small balcony with 3.5ft tall safety railings that will allow your pet to get fresh air at any time. Beyond the balcony, I live in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for walks, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. When at your home, I will always be respectful of your space. Ensuring I leave everything exactly as I found it, I’ll maximize time with your pet while also keeping the area tidy! When working with me, please just let me know any boundaries you have within your home and I’ll happily abide.

About: For the past 10 years, I have dedicated myself to pet sitting, providing long walks, boarding, and even some training. Growing up, I was never able to have pets of my own, so pet sitting has given me the joy of welcoming, many animals into my life as a part of my extended family. My reliability, friendliness, and patience, have allowed me to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved and wellcared for. I am in the works to enter graduate school, allowing for plenty of time to take care of your pet babies. Caring for them would make my day a bit more brighter Your pets are allowed in my home as my own, lots of cuddles, walks, and love. When at your home I will make sure to follow all task asked, play time, and many belly rubs

About: I’ve had over ten years of dog experience and love dogs! I have experience with senior dog care and can give medication to your dog throughout the day if needed. I work from home and have a fenced in patio that has turf on it. I can walk the dog multiple times a day and give it all the love and play time they need! I only use leashes when I walk your dog I don’t believe in not using a leash. I have a patio that is fenced in and I treat your dog like I would treat my own dog. My apartment is a very loving, welcoming environment.

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.

“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.

“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.”
