“Olivia was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and my home while I was away. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house, which was such a relief after traveling. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flights got delayed and stayed an extra night with no hesitation. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. Highly recommend Olivia—she’s the best!”


“This was our second time booking with Mike and he couldn't have been better with our mini schnauzer, Niña! Mike is super responsive, always sending regular updates with photos. When our flight was delayed and we weren't able to get home at the time we thought, Mike came back to take care of Niña which gave us so much peace of mind. 100% recommend Mike!”



“Paola left our house cleaner than we left it. Our pets clearly loved her and we had zero concerns while we were away. We got frequent photos too. Will definitely hire Paola again. ❤️”


“Jessika was communicative during her stay with my (2) animals. Kept me updated and informed with daily information. I appreciate you caring on my animals with kindness!”


“Dean was absolutely terrific! Our dogs took to him immediately and on his first time watching them, he watched them for two weeks! They’re both over 80 pounds and full of love, and he was able to walk them every day and give us peace of mind while we were out of town! Thank you, Dean and we look forward to working with you again!!”


“We are so happy we met Cindy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier. Our westie was very happy at her house and he loved the nice fenced back yard. We appreciate the photos that were sent and plan to use her again soon. Thanks again!”


“Bethany did an amazing job watching my 2 fur babies. She sent pictures each day, was on time and compliant with everything I asked. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future and recommend her services to pet owners looking for reliable, trusted care.”


“Brit took great care of our zoo (dog, 2 cats, 2 ferrets, and an axolotl) and our home while we were on vacation. She let me give her quick lessons on caring for the “exotic” pets during our meet and greet, and I could immediately tell she’s an animal lover. Brit is also an excellent communicator and we appreciated getting photo updates every day so that we knew everyone was safe and happy. We will hire her in the future.”


“Taylor was very good with Hunter. He had a couple of skin infections and she was on top of it! He had a trip to the vet and a trip to the ER. She made sure he had his medicine, daily exercise, food and water, and made sure he wore the dreaded cone. Taylor took very good care of him. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures of Hunter. If she had a question, she asked. Taylor also stayed at our house. She treated it as her own. Everything was in order when we came home. Bedding (ours and Hunters) was washed. We were very pleased with the care Taylor gave Hunter and our home.”


“Jayce was amazing! Our three babies were taken the best care of and Jayce made sure to send pics everyday. Communication was perfect! We would highly recommend A+++!!”

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”



“Diane is great! She goes above and beyond! And she keeps you updated on your pets while you are gone which really helps you feel better about going away without them. They are always happy and healthy when we return which is a huge relief.”


“Janelle saved the day for me this time around. I have used her a couple of times before and she has been great. This time I was out of town and the other sitter I hired didn’t show. My poor babies had been home for far too long. I reached out to Janelle and she made it to my home so quick. And covered the weekend. I am so super grateful.”


“David is a responsible and trustworthy person. He watched our dog for ten days in our home and we returned to a happy dog and a clean and well cared for home. We would not hesitate to book David again!”


“Debora is absolutely awesome and is so great with my boy Ryder. I highly recommend her; she will give you such peace in mind when taking care of your animal! THANK U!”


About: For my entire life, I’ve owned dogs and cats. I’ve also had hamsters, birds, and fish. Friends and neighbors have often had me take care of their pets in their homes while they’ve been away on vacation. Being away is only easy for the owners if their furbabies are happy, safe, and well taken care of. This is what I strive for every single time. I am a newly retired teacher after 30 years in the classroom! So my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m looking to stay busy helping to take care of your babies while you are away on vacation or dropping in during the day while you’re working. If your pet were to stay at my house, my husband and I currently have two golden retrievers and an indoor cat. Our yard is fenced in completely. We do have a pool in which the dogs are allowed to swim in. We play lots of fetch, frisbee, and laser chasing in our big back yard. We also use crates when we’re not at home due to our goldens being so young. (Both under 2 years old). We feed our pets twice a day with treats given also. Our kids are adults and out on their own, so all of our attention is given to our dogs and cat! They rule the roost! In your home, I would follow your routine so that your pet would stay happy and healthy. I would also send lots of pictures throughout my time with them so you would feel comfortable knowing they were being well taken care of!

About: Hi, I’m Stephen, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve raised pups from Beagles to Chihuahuas and spent time volunteering as a dog walker with the Nashville Humane Society. These days, I’m also the proud cat dad of Shadow, my playful kitten who keeps me on my toes! Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat needs calm companionship, or you’re just looking for a reliable sitter while you’re away, I provide thoughtful, responsible care with lots of love and attention to detail. I specialize in in-home visits and walks, and I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I’m here to make your time away worry-free — with updates, photos, and genuine care for your furry family member. Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! Weekdays (Monday through Friday): 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM • Evening dog walks (30 to 60 minutes) • Drop-in visits for cats or dogs • Local sitting or check-ins • Overnight stays (based on location) Weekends (Saturday and Sunday): 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM • Flexible availability throughout the day • Dog walking (morning, afternoon, or evening) • Drop-in visits and extended sitting • Overnight stays available I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs—just reach out and let me know what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and take time to understand your pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and routines. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsecured environments and maintain constant awareness during walks or drop-ins. I’ve completed a six-month volunteer stint at the Nashville Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience with many dog temperaments. I’ve also cared for my own dogs for 15+ years and currently have a well-trained kitten named Shadow. I keep communication open and transparent at all times. You’ll receive updates with photos and honest check-ins, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for your cat, you can trust that your furry family member is in responsible, reliable hands.

Historic Bayview pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessika is responsible and punctual, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. Our Cali was so well cared for—we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. On top of that, she was kind, respectful, and treated our home with great care. We feel so lucky to have found Jessika and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!

Bethany did an amazing job watching my 2 fur babies. She sent pictures each day, was on time and compliant with everything I asked. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future and recommend her services to pet owners looking for reliable, trusted care.

Thank Goodness for Reanna C. my new Rover Sitter. My mom was the only person I ever trusted with my dog & she was supposed to watch my baby but she had surgery so she couldn't. I'm so glad & greatful I found Reanna. My home was watched over & my dog was kept comfortable. He had a small sprain that was on the mend when I left & I got home & it was all better just like she texted me the next day with a photo. When I got home, he was so happy to see me & while I was holding him everytime I said Reanna he gave me a kiss. I was very pleased to find him doing great when I got home. Thank you
