About: I grew up on a farm with many different types of animals. My family had many cats and dogs. I also dog sat for neighbors and family over the years. I have tons of experience with animals and I would love to take care of yours. I currently work full time but with a flexible schedule that includes 2 remote days. I can take breaks throughout the day to feed/walk the dogs. There are plenty of parks around where I live. I can always find a trail or a park where I can take your dog for a walk or run.
“Brian was super patient with my young and timid Shiba Inu. He was able to get him out side and take him for a walk after two previous visitors could not. Was also able to do a meet and greet before confirming the visit.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the calm, confident energy I bring to every visit. I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—including seniors and those needing daily meds or special attention. I’m patient, playful, and tuned in to each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just some quiet companionship. I treat every dog like family and every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm—I genuinely look forward to it! I build my schedule around visits and walks to ensure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s starting my morning with a walk or checking in for evening cuddles and dinner time, I love the structure and joy that caring for animals brings to my day. It never feels like a chore—more like a highlight. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any house routines you’d like maintained. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes.
“Rachel was great, she followed my directions well. Knox is scared of everything, I appreciate that she understood that and gave him the space he needed while also giving him the opportunity for affection with his favorite things.”
About: I had two fur babies myself so I know how important it is that someone loves them the way you do. I treat ever pet just as I would my own 🥰 I go beyond basic care by paying close attention to each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort. Whether it’s sticking closely to a routine, giving meds, or making nervous pups feel safe, I’m fully present and attentive. I also communicate clearly and often with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in loving hands. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like something I genuinely enjoy. I build my daily schedule around walks, playtime, feeding routines, and plenty of cuddle breaks. Whether I’m running errands, or enjoying time outside, I make sure pets are always prioritized, engaged, and comfortable. I plan my week to allow flexibility for drop-ins, so I’m able to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Not only do I provide rover services for others, I also utilized the services for my own babies so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and trust someone to watch your fur babies while away.

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.
About: Growing up with dogs and having over 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve developed a deep, lifelong love for animals. I treat every dog in my care like family, with the same compassion and attention I give my own pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—whether they need high-energy playtime, relaxing walks, or just some loving company. You can count on me to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while you’re away. I’m currently a graduate student pursuing my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy through a hybrid program. I’m only on campus once a month from Thursday to Sunday, which means I have plenty of availability to be at home during the rest of the month. I’d love to incorporate pet care into my weekly routine—it's a perfect fit for my flexible schedule and passion for animals. Providing a safe, loving environment for your pet while you're away would be a joy, not just a job! If I am caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules or routines—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I’m attentive, clean, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s unique personality, making sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely cared about.

Erin T.
“Growing up with my sister has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. From the very beginning, we shared a home filled with love, laughter, and an ever-changing zoo of pets—dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a turtle. Each animal brought its own personality and challenges, and through it all, my sister showed an incredible sense of responsibility, compassion, and patience. She’s always had a natural connection with animals, treating each one like a cherished member of the family. But her nurturing spirit doesn’t stop with pets. My sister is also a trusted babysitter, often caring for young children with the same attentiveness and warmth. She has a remarkable ability to make kids feel safe, heard, and entertained—all while maintaining a calm and structured environment. Her attentiveness, empathy, and sense of fun make her a favorite among both children and parents.”
Imperial Cove pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot overstate how AMAZING Caitlin was with our shepherd-husky mix! She was incredibly attentive, making note of our dog's moods and reaching out when Thulha showed signs of anxiety. It was super stormy when we were away, which tends to stress our dog out, and Caitlin went above and beyond to help her be as comfortable as possible. After we returned home, our neighbor (who often goes with me while I'm walking Thulha) mentioned to me how impressed she was by Caitlin when she saw her out walking the dog! Super kudos!!
Mykola and Aleksandra take amazing care of my elderly little princess (cat). This is the second time I have had them check on her while I am away, and I am so happy with them and their care. The pictures the send in the Rover card are amazing! I highly recommend them!
Nancy was a great sitter for our cat, Leota! Nancy was punctual and consistently arrived at the agreed upon time. She was extremely responsive and we loved getting the pictures of our cat from each visit. Nancy went above and beyond by cleaning anything she used, which we did not expect, but was truly appreciated. Thank you Nancy!
This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience thanks to Jennifer! She was incredibly communicative and attentive with my cat, who is usually very nonchalant and keeps to himself. The moment he gave her a headbutt during their first meet, I knew she was the perfect fit. Jennifer made me feel at ease while I was away, and I appreciated all the updates and care she provided. She also went above and beyond to help solve a never-ending battle with ants invading my cat’s food, I’m so thankful for her care and dedication. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets!
We were traveling for a week so I was very nervous about leaving my dog but at the moment I met Megan I felt such a relief. She is super nice and sweet and took such good care of our Luna. We received updates and pictures every day and I can tell my dog was having such a good time with her. I can’t recommend Megan enough!
