“Candace has been coming to help with my older dog & puppy for a couple of weeks now, since our household has been turned up side down. The dogs love to see her, & love to go outside to play when she’s here. She is working on basic commands with the puppy, & the old girl has been learning too. I appreciated the attention to detail at our meet & greet, writing down pertinent info on both dogs. She also reported a medical problem with my older dog, so that she was able to be seen by the vet promptly. 5 star”
“On time, great first impression! My dog took to her immediately which isn’t always the case. Very easy to talk with and asked appropriate questions that indicated her genuine interest in my dog. I felt confident that she would be good with our family. I will definitely be in touch soon.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat, going above and beyond to provide Leia with sweet cuddles during the visit. I know she appreciated the great care too!”
“Leah did a great job, just got back from our trip and both kitties are great. She made sure they stayed well fed and their boxes stayed clean. I will definitely use her services for future trips away.”
“Ashlynn was great! We needed a last minute pet sitter to drop in on our sweet pup while we were away for the evening, and Ashlynn was very accommodating and quick to respond! Ashlynn was able to do a meet and greet with our pup on short notice, and was able to do an additional drop on short notice as well. She did absolutely amazing and our dog and cats adored Ashlynn! Ashlynn responded to messages very quickly, sent pictures and updates of how our pets were doing while we were away, and even intervened when one of the cats got a little too rough with our pup. We are so thankful to Ashlynn for her prompt and responsive care! 10/10 would book again!”
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger, but my foster life didn’t give me the chance. I spent two years raising birds when I was younger and every home I’ve lived in has had multiple cats or dogs. We currently have one dog that is an ESA for my youngest daughter. He is the most tolerable kind dog I’ve ever met and loves playing with other dogs. I have no breed restrictions. I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’m also open to caring for cage critters and snakes. Feel free to ask! I work a lot of hours but I am self employed so I can take breaks at a moments notice. I am very flexible in my schedule but also have a routine. I prefer to have at least 2-3 days notice for returning pet parents and 1 week notice for new parents to adjust my routine, have time for a meet and greet and make it work for everyone. I have a large fenced backyard and one extremely playful and loving pup. He is a Husky/Golden Retriever mix that doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. My dog sleeps with my kids, particularly my youngest as he was adopted as an ESA for he’s severe nighttime anxiety when she was younger. At this time I am not boarding due to restrictions. This may change later. If I am caring for your pet at your house, I am happy to bring mine along as a playmate or I can leave him at home.
“Excellent as always! She was a wonderful companion to our Jerry and always made sure our shy George was alright too! Her daily updates and photos were the highlight of my day!”
“Shyanne was wonderful! Quick response & spent time with my sweet girl while I was stuck at work. Can’t thank her enough for being able to be there on such short notice.”
“Emily was our introduction to Rover, and it could not have gone better! She was so very courteous and helpful and our dogs seemed to love her visits! I wasn't concerned in the least and knew we were in great hands. Her updates, pictured and cards were great. I may not use Rover often but will always check to see if Emily is available!”
“Katie was amazing! She visited three times a day, walked my dog each time, made sure she was well-fed, and even administered her medication perfectly. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Katie is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook her again!”
“Tyler T. has been a Godsend to us this week. My wife had to go into the hospital for surgery, and his quality care, kindness, and professionalism in his care for our two dogs was a great comfort. She back home and healing, and the dogs and the house are happy and well in order. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

For the past year on Fridays and Saturdays I have worked in Nashville, however the rest of the week I am here and pretty much free! Having just moved here I am staying in an apartment complex with a private dog park and many wonderful and enjoyable places to walk nearby. Apartment is decently sized if your fluffy friend is a bit on the larger side :) I have experience in administering oral medications (not comfortable with injections). Would love to know of any special needs, quirks (unfavorable AND good🤭), allergies, behavioral patterns, triggers, personality etc..

Kara P.
“Kara is a great person who loves animals. She does not like to see animals harmed in any way. She has worked with animals many times before in the past. And is more than qualified for what you would need from her.”
Olivia S.
“I can’t recommend Olivia enough as a pet sitter. She’s been caring for animals her whole life and has such a natural way with them. With her own cats, Pixie and Tuna, she’s shown incredible patience and understanding—Pixie is the sweetest but has her quirks, while Tuna can be a real troublemaker and sometimes aggressive, and Olivia has always met both of them exactly where they’re at. She knows how to make animals feel comfortable and safe, even in challenging situations. She also cared for her family’s dog, Howard, taking him on regular walks and spending hours grooming mats out of his fur to keep him comfortable. Beyond that, she’s looked after her aunt’s dogs and dog-sat for family friends, always leaving behind glowing feedback from both the people and the pets. She just loves animals, and it shows in the way every dog or cat she meets seems to warm up to her right away. She’s even been wonderful with my boss’s dogs at my old job, and honestly, every pet we’ve ever come across seems to adore her. Olivia is caring, dependable, and truly loves animals. Whether it’s walking, playing, grooming, or just keeping them company, she gives pets the attention they deserve. Any dog or cat would be lucky to have her looking after them, and I’d trust her with mine any day.”

Ashlynn agreed to walk Lotus at such short notice with no hesitation. From the booking conversation all the way up until she was with my pup, I felt calm and knew my boy was in good hands. She took out the time to get to know him and made sure he pottied before leaving him. Her communication skills are great and she's so caring! I appreciate you!
Katie was amazing! She visited three times a day, walked my dog each time, made sure she was well-fed, and even administered her medication perfectly. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Katie is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook her again!
Sophie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Georgia! Georgia can be a bit anxious, especially around new people, but Sophie was incredibly patient, calm, and attentive. She also kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a thoughtful dog sitter!
