About: Hi! I’m a local mom living on a mini farm in Goodlettsville with my husband, son, two dogs, and ten chickens. Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we spend most of our days outside exploring, playing, and staying active. My son absolutely loves animals and is a wonderful little helper. He accompanies me about 90% of the time, so if your dog or cat prefers a child-free environment or isn’t comfortable around kids, please let me know and we can discuss whether we’re a good fit. We love getting out and doing fun activities, whether that’s neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, walking to coffee, or even taking your pup on an adventure to a dog park (with your permission, of course!). If your pet prefers a slower pace, we’re equally happy to provide snuggles, backyard or indoor playtime, and companionship at home. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your dog or cat like one of our own—with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates while you’re away. We have a sweet newborn baby so I’m home 24/7 to be with your pup giving treats and snuggles and making sure all their needs are met. We have a fenced in front yard waiting for your pup to explore! We also have two friendly dogs for your pup to play with!
“Victoria was so sweet with our Macadamia! She was very generous to take her on walks, pick up her poop in the yard, & bring our packages in. Will definitely book again! I know our dog Mac was in great hands☺️”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, but recently lost my Yoshi. I’m not ready to take on another full-time commitment, but I love having dogs at my house with me and my son. We love playing in the backyard and snuggling! I work Monday-Fri 8-415, but have weeknights and weekends free. Weekends and evenings will be dedicated to playing and snuggling your pup, but weekdays, they would be home for about 8.5 hours during the day. I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of snuggly spaces in my one story house. There are no animals that live with us currently, just me and my 6 year old son.
“Thanks so much! Glad she warmed up quickly and that will make the 5:00 visit even better. Are you available tomorrow for 3 visits? 11:30, 4:30, 8? Times can vary if needed.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays in my home. Friends, family, and pet owners have trusted me to provide attentive and reliable care, whether that means feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply keeping their dogs company throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood, Centennial Park, and the Vanderbilt area. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. Long walks are one of my favorite activities, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park within the community and several walkable areas nearby. I’m also close to Centennial Park and the Vanderbilt campus, which are great locations for safe, enjoyable walks. I have experience caring for dogs in my home for extended stays, as well as providing dog walking and pet-sitting services. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help your dog feel happy and secure while you're away.
About: I live with 7 dogs and 1 cat! One is a senior disabled dog. First time on rover but not a first time pet lover! I boycott zoos, and I care about the details. I do have a main job and my schedule does vary week to week but if I have at least a 5 day notice I’ll be able to accommodate With cats I always respect their boundaries make sure they’re are fed, have clean water to drink and are comfortable. Dogs I always show love and pets and give them undivided attention. I can take them out whenever is needed even walk them.
“Maggie was beyond wonderful to my cats. She sent lots of photos after each visit so that I could see how everyone was doing. I will definitely be asking for her to sit for me in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I love them very much. I am very passionate about them. I am very patient and kind. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I can can do Saturdays and Sundays. I could also do Tuesday and Thursday evenings if needed to. I make sure my pets are well fed and have water. I also make sure to play with them with their favorite toys and have fun with them as well.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an irresistible urge to stop and say hello to every animal I see, whether they have paws, feathers, scales, or hooves! I often joke that one of my biggest regrets is not becoming a veterinarian, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am.🩷 Being around pets genuinely fills my heart with joy. I love getting to know their unique personalities, making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and caring companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve.🫶🏼🐾 I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, loving, and attentive to your pet’s needs. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and lots of tail wags (or purrs!) along the way.✨ Unfortunately I have a full-time job but I get off at 5pm (Mon-Thu) and honestly I don’t mind using that extra time to spend it with some furry friends. Currently I get off at 2pm on Fridays and also I am flexible on weekends! I would ask and take note of any instructions. Other than that, I’d be playing, cuddling, teaching tricks, talking to them or showing them off to my family and friends (specially my mom). If the pet is asleep I’d be reading a book or watching a movie but close by. I enjoy their company all the way!
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience for every animal I care for. I currently work from home, so I spend a lot of time with our dog, Emmy, fiancé and our baby. We are usually pretty free on the weekends as well We have a fenced yard and would love to have another dog to come hangout with our cockapoo! We have plenty of toys, space and time for playing
About: I am very diligent in safeguarding the pets in my care. I am kind and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is A-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.

About: i’ve taken care of animals for about 8 years now. i have also had at least 1 dog and cat for my entire life. i have 3 dogs and a cat myself (including a 16 year old beagle)!! i love animals soso much and think they deserve the absolute best from everyone. i often drive around handing out pet supplies to homeless with animals as well. im currently part time in school and work! i usually have class 8am-1pm but have an awkward break until work at 4pm-11pm. on my off days i am completely available and always looking for stuff to do! i have a fenced in yard for my 3 dogs and keep my cat inside. i often take one of the dogs to run errands with me and explore for some enrichment and fun! i don’t take my elderly dog (16) out too much due to his lipomas (fat tumors- typical for beagles) interfering with his hip/leg movement during long walks. he does get plenty of attention and fun at home though!
“Amazing!! Jericho is so professional, attentive and caring. Highly recommend her for all your pets needs. I could definitely tell from the look on my dogs face in all the pics she sent that he was very happy and in good hands ❤️”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Joelton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Joelton 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Joelton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
