“Oh my gosh Leslie was AMAZING! She was able to walk my pup last minute and kept me updated every step of the way! So sweet and a fast responder, she sent a ton of photos! Even my cat, who is usually a little shy, came out to greet her! Will absolutely be using her again!!”

About: My girlfriend and I moved to Nashville 5 years ago and we are both huge pet lovers. She is working at the hospital and going to school while I sell real estate and satisfy my true passion of caring for animals by pet walking and pet sitting on the side. We currently have two dogs ourselves. A 7-year-old chocolate lab and 5-year-old pointer. I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with a golden retriever that lived to be 15 years old. My parents have a beagle that is the smartest dog I have known. One of my sisters has two pitbulls that are the biggest babies in the world. Hopefully with our love for dogs and my open schedule, we can help others by caring for there pets and working around there busy schedules. I am a real estate agent so my schedule is all over the place. The market is slow at the moment so I try to take as many drop in visist and dog walking visits as possible. I love being out and about so I don't mind working early mornings, late nights, or even weekend drop ins if needed. I have a secure apartment with access to a private, fenced in dog area. It typically gets minimal use. I’m familiar with logistical communication when accessing homes and highly respectful of others personal property. I can physically handle all dogs of any size and energy while remaining calm and safe, especially in public areas.

“So grateful to have Becca walk Millie for me a few times a week. She always makes sure she gets in some fun playtime! I know Millie loves the days she gets to see Becca! She also is great about sending the cutest pictures which make my workday so much brighter”


“Alex has been amazing!! She sends very detailed updates and sends lots of videos and cute pics of your pup:) highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets!”


About: I take any size, any age. I own a doggie and i understand how things come up. If you have a puppy or an old puppy, a big one or small i'm here to be their best pal. I have been dog walking for many years, i have helped dog train too. My Biggest accomplishment is working with war dogs. I am from a military background, and when I was overseas I was trained to take care of dogs in extreme weather and extreme activities with extreme injuries. So i can handle it all. I love being around dogs because they don't talk (lol, nah they have their own language). I have owned many Dogs in my life and i have also trained Dogs for other people.

“Kayla is a trustworthy and reliable dog walker 😊 She always provides picture updates and lets me know how Theo does on his walks! She seems to really care about Theo, so I know he is in good hands. I highly recommend her!”


“Stephanie was great to work with. She came to visit and meet my dog and me before the walk, which I really appreciated since that’s unpaid. She is cheerful, knowledgeable, and a good listener. And she took my dog on good long walk, which he really needed today.”


About: I have grown up around a minimum of 2 dogs my entire childhood. Currently my family owns 3 dogs, 2 of which I trained myself and am now able to take them on walks off-leash comfortably. I have experience with large and small dogs and am ready to handle any and all doggy daycare duties. Also have experience with senior dogs. I am a college student here in Nashville missing my dogs at home and would love to care for yours and make dog-parent life a little easter! I’m working part time at a music venue alongside a part time internship position with a radio station. This means I have more time than most during weekdays to check in on your pups or take them out for some exercise. I am comfortable caring for pets inside of your home and would make sure your individual instructions and care needs are met for your pet!

“Lauren was a rockstar. She was very accommodating and came on very short notice. Sweet, friendly punctual. She always checked if we needed anything. And my dog adored her. Will most definitely use her again.”


“Teresa is an angel! She takes fantastic care of my golden retriever pup, Mavvy, and is incredibly reliable. Very grateful to have her and would highly recommend?l!”

About: My commitment extends beyond just meeting their basic needs; I strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for each cat. I believe every cat deserves patience, love, and understanding, and this belief is at the heart of my approach to pet sitting. By choosing me as your sitter, you are ensuring that your cat is in hands that not only understand their practical care requirements but also deeply respect and connect with their individual personalities and needs. I'm currently a PhD student at Vanderbilt and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm available most time during the week, but occasionally be busy on Mondays and Wednesdays. I will follow your instructions carefully to ensure your cat's routine is maintained. During each visit, I will clean the litter box, refill their food and water, and provide any additional care as needed. If they are in the mood to play, I will engage them with their favorite toys and can also bring my laser pointer—using it safely to avoid direct exposure to their eyes. My priority is to create a comfortable and stress-free environment where your cat feels secure and cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them in all stages of life. I love discovering their personalities and making them happy. Dogs are a part of the family and should be treated that way! I am a musician so my nomad life has not allowed me to personally have a pet, but my love for them hasn’t changed. My weekday schedule is generally very open and can be flexible. I follow directions very well, so I will care for the pets exactly as instructed. I’m very thorough and your pets safety and trust is my highest priority.

About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life! Never having grown up with pets of my own, I have been pet sitting/ walking since I was old enough to! I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and am very patient / experienced with elderly and young pets. As a musician, I get to create my own schedule—meaning I am very flexible and can adapt to your needs. If you’ll have me, I’d love to treat your precious ones with the same love and care i could my own someday :) I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can create my daily schedule based on your needs. I am organized and reliable, and have no problem waking up very early or staying late to make sure your pets are happy and safe! I am very gentle with pets, but also very playful! I recognize that they are often home alone for a good portion of the day, and that they would love a companion and a way to release energy! In my own home, I carve out time each and every day to properly stimulate my roommate’s cat so he doesn’t get lonely, and can get his energy out! In others’ homes, I do my best to appear as a familiar figure in the pets’ safe space. With cats, I take a gentler approach. With dogs, i let them sniff and then shower them with cuddles and playtime! And on walks, I am happy to walk them for as long as needed! I recognize that some dogs need a lot of exercise or stimulation, and with my active lifestyle it’s nothing I can’t handle.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a little extra TLC. For example, I grew up with a dog for almost 20 years and helped manage his arthritis as he got older. What sets me apart is my patient, attentive approach and my respect for each pet’s unique needs. I have experience administering oral medications (especially for seniors with multiple chronic conditions) and maintaining consistent routines for pets while their humans are away. I also have experience caring for multiple pets within a home. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and at home in my care! I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and make it a priority. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the week, including early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m committed to being reliable and communicative so pet parents always feel at ease! While caring for pets in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from feeding schedules and medication to behavioral quirks and preferred toys. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean, calm, and consistent, leaving everything better than when I found it. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsecured areas. I communicate clearly and frequently with pet parents, sending updates and photos so they feel confident and connected while away. Creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment is at the heart of how I care.

About: Hi! My names Aly! I’m a fun, trusted, dog-loving professional who has grown up with all different kinds of sizes and breeds through out my life. I am the trusted dog sitter of my family and friends which is what brought me to rover. I am around to take care of all your dog needs; walking, feeding or just playing with your pup. I am flexible, patient and friendly and will work with you to suit your needs as best as I can! I love going on walks and to dog parks to keep your puppy entertained while you are working hard through out the rest of the pandemic. Please do not hesitate to reach out - I am excited for this opportunity and meeting all your cute puppies! I work from home, so your pup will have constant company and attention throughout the day! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, with a flexible schedule to meet your needs. Expect lots of love, playtime, and potty breaks on demand! I have a fully fenced yard and one sweet, social pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I can easily separate or crate dogs if needed and always prioritize safety and comfort. My home is dog-friendly, cozy, and supervised with care at all times!

About: I have had a varitey of pets while growing up and helped take care of neighbors' pets. From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and gerbils. I have walked, fed, and given medicine to those in my care as well as cleaned up after them at home and out on walks. I am the oldest of my siblings so I have experience taking care of my younger family members as well. I am currently available to help take care of pets on weekdays at any time. I am located in Nashville for the month of August and have a vehicle. First I will establish trust with the pet so they know that I am there to take care of them and give them the love they need even though at first I am a stranger. Then I will care for pets by following the instructions left by their owners and being attentive to how they communicate their needs. I love being outdoors and if your pet enjoys that as well we will find plenty of fun to do together while getting good exercise. I can do feedings, medicine, clean litter boxes and anything else your pet may need.

My dog Dottie, can be a little shy at first but, took to Tevin right away which says a lot. My other dog Pearl loves everyone Tevin included 😂 While I was away, I received regular updates and photos that completely put my mind at ease. It was so comforting to know my dogs were not just being cared for, but genuinely loved and played with. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a tidy house! If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, look no further. I would trust Tevin with my dogs any time and recommend him without hesitation. Truly exceptional care!”
