About: Hi! I’m Connor, a Nashville local and lifelong animal lover. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own—my landlord doesn’t allow it—I deeply miss the companionship and joy they bring. That’s why I’d love to care for your pup during my evenings or weekends. I value consistency and reliability—ideal if you’re looking for a trusted regular walker or sitter. I offer: Weeknight walks starting after 5:30 pm Weekend walks & drop-ins (flexible hours) Pet sitting for weekend stays or when you’re away You can expect timely updates, photos, GPS-tracked walks, and respectful care of your home and routine. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for evening walks after 5pm and mostly any time on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as long as I'm not at work, since I don’t have pets of my own but would love to spend time with yours. I’m also open to overnight sitting when you’re away. If you’re within a 10–15 minute drive from my work, I may also be able to do a 30-minute walk or drop in during my lunch break around 1pm! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and respect any rules you set, whether that means crating, leashing, or keeping a calm environment. I understand pets can feel anxious when their owners are away, so I make sure to give them comfort, attention, and consistency.
“Hayley is so thoughtful and consistent in taking care of my kitties! She even does a great job with my mean one! 😂 I love getting pictures and updates while I’m away from them.”
“Second time booking with Ashlie. She checks in on the girls and takes them on walks which they seems tired tired from. Exactly what we want! She checks in and asks questions about changes in the dogs temperament and goes the extra mile to wipe their feet from the rain! Thank you!”
“Thank you Ashley for taking such great care of our girl, always! We love the detailed and thorough pup-dates and that you’re extra communicative with us while we are out of town.”
“We really appreciated Jordan’s quick availability,timeliness and all the cute pictures of the pups that she sent to us while we were away. She kept us well updated and took great care of our pups.”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember! Our dogs, the neighbors dogs and cats, my friends dogs and cats. Giving baths is also not a problem for me! Pet care fits right into my schedule as I own a kitty cat of my own. I'm always ready to care for other animals and make a connection with them as if they were my own! Showing love, compassion, and kindness is most important to me. While I keeping the fur baby or babies comfortable, I'll also play with them if that's what they're up for!
About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember - I owned my own dog for 18 years, from puppyhood all the way through his senior years, so I've been through every stage a dog goes through. For the past several years, I've also been fostering dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy young puppies to older dogs who just need a calm, steady place to land. What sets me apart is patience and consistency. Puppies especially need someone who won't give up on training - I'm big on positive reinforcement, sticking to a routine, and staying calm and consistent even when a pup is testing boundaries or having a rough day. That same patience carries over to senior dogs, who often need a gentler pace, extra attention to mobility or health needs, and someone who won't rush them. Because I've fostered such a wide range of dogs - nervous rescues, high-energy young dogs, dogs with no training at all, and dogs adjusting to a new home - I've learned to read individual personalities quickly and adjust my approach to what each dog actually needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all method. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day rather than dropping a dog off and disappearing for hours. That means regular bathroom breaks, playtime, and check-ins built right into my normal day - not squeezed in around a commute or an office schedule. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard, so dogs get plenty of room to run, sniff around, and burn off energy safely without needing to be on a leash the whole time. Between the flexibility of working from home and the space in the yard, dogs in my care get a lot more attention and activity than they would with a typical 9-to-5 sitter. Safety comes first, whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or theirs. In my own home, I have a large, fully fenced backyard, so dogs can play and explore off-leash in a secure space without any risk of getting loose. I keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard - toxic plants, small objects, unsecured trash - and make sure the environment is calm and comfortable, especially for dogs who might be nervous in a new place. Since I work from home, dogs aren't left alone for long stretches. I'm able to supervise closely, especially during the first few visits with a new dog, so I can get a feel for their personality, energy level, and any quirks before giving them more freedom in the house or yard. For dogs with training needs or those who are still adjusting, I stick to a consistent routine - regular feeding times, scheduled bathroom breaks, and structured playtime - since predictability helps dogs feel safe. I'm also comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, keeping introductions slow and positive so everyone feels comfortable. If I'm caring for a pet in the client's home, I follow the same principles - sticking closely to their normal routine, respecting the house rules the owner has in place, and keeping a close eye on the pet's behavior and comfort level throughout the visit.
About: I grew up in the country, where I had more dogs than neighbourhood friends. I have rescued countless numbers of animals in my day. My first job was animal control for shelby county when I was sixteen. Now I'm everybody's favorite dog Uncle. I've had numerous friends and family request I watch over their pets because they know they'll be in good hands. Just last year I lost my best friend, a 15 year old black lab named Todd Philip. Turns out he rescued me, now it's time to give back! I'm a motorcycle mechanic so I work Monday-Friday 9am-3pm but this is "very" flexible. I can be available early mornings or evenings. 6am-8am or 4pm-11pm Plenty of room for laying around in my apartment, second story balcony for hanging outside. There is a big dog park less than 50 feet away from my door. Also there are 3 more dog parks that are at adjacent complexes that are easy to walk too. Less than five minutes walk to Percy Priest lake one of my favorite places to explore.
About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
My little guy has really bad anxiety 😥 So do I leaving him for a extended period of time Angela helped him so much. She went the extra mile to keep him calm. He looked so happy in the report cards. I definitely made the right choice hiring her. You could see he was very glad to see her every time she came to care for him and hang out with him. I will definitely hire her again for future trips.
This was our first time leaving our dogs and depending entirely on drop-in visits while we were out of town, so having someone we could trust was a huge deal for us. Amber did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. She was also very attentive and may have even helped tidy up a bit, which was such a thoughtful touch. She kept us informed, handled everything smoothly, and even administered medication without any issues. One of the biggest signs of approval from our dog Addison is that she doesn’t want people to leave, and she definitely gave Amber a hard time when it was time to go, which told us all we needed to know about how comfortable she felt with her. (Sorry, Amber!) We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. It is such a relief knowing we have someone dependable, trustworthy, and caring that we can count on when we need help with our dogs. We will absolutely continue using Amber in the future.
Crystal was fantastic! She took great care of our pet and provided frequent updates, photos, and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated our pet like her own. Communication was excellent, and we always knew how things were going. We would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!
Reagan was great! We were just in Nashville for a few nights and needed someone to stop in to check on Watson and feed him so he wasn’t alone all evening. She fed him dinner, let him out and stayed with him for an hour so he wasn’t alone. We would highly recommend Reagan if you need a dog sitter!
We had such a great experience with Yesenia! She was able to step in on a last-minute request, which we were so grateful for, and she took amazing care of our dog, Kevin. She did drop-in visits three times a day and consistently kept us updated with photos each time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she wasn’t just checking a box…she spent quality time with Kevin and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for. We would absolutely book with Yesenia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter!
Hannah has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly communicative, keeps us updated, and is always quick to respond. Managing three dogs is no small task, but she handles them with so much care and confidence. She is attentive to our specific requests and makes us feel completely at ease whenever we are away. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are in trustworthy hands. She is reliable, close by, and truly awesome at what she does. We will continue booking with her and highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Adazia did awesome with our pup. She was available very last minute! My app also didn't update my address when I did and accidentally took her to the wrong place and she was very understanding. She did so well with tonks!! We will definitely be using her again!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
