About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s a high energy walk or a slow stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, I’ll tailor each outing to your dog’s needs. Safety, communication, and happy tails are my top priorities. I’d love to meet your furry friend! This is currently my full time gig so I have all the availability to adjust to you and your pup’s schedule! Let me know how I can help! My apartment is a short walking trail from one of Nashville’s best public dog parks! My friendly dog, Blu would also love to keep your dog company!
“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel. She is great at communication and she always comes in smiling and greets Buster. I trust her with him and know he is in good hands when they are out together. Buster always comes back happy and that is very important to me. Thank you Rachel!”
“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”
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!
“Sophia was great walking our rescue pup and giving him some extra love. Finley is a terrier mix that can have some biting tendencies and she did very well with him. It's also nice to know that she has a terrier herself and has experience at vet clinics and shelters.”
About: Hi! I'm Cayla :) I started doing rover in 2020, and then had to stop because of a job interruption. I'm back excited to take on more puppy love! I have cared for (and have grown up around) pets my entire life, as many others have. I also have a 10lb shih-poo of my own. What sets me apart though, is my attention to detail and my flexibility to care for your pets on their specific schedule, so that everything feels just as it does on their normal day to day. I make sure to go above and beyond to ensure your fur-babies feel safe and cared for in their own environment while you're away! I work a remote position with a flexible schedule. I can work from anywhere at any time - as long as there is Wifi. I have the availability to cater to your fur-babies' needs throughout the day. I follow whatever routine your pet is most accustomed to. They will get plenty of snuggles, play time, walks, and socialization. If you're pet has any special needs or accommodations, I can easily adjust to what makes them comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages and breeds ever since I can remember, whether it’s friend’s and family’s pets or fostering from local shelters. I have experience handling a variety of health conditions, including administering medication such as insulin. I’ve also worked for The Farmer’s Dog, where I’ve learned so much about dog health, nutrition, behavior, and habits that have been so useful in both my personal and professional life. My schedule is very flexible! I mainly work from home, so your furry friend would rarely be left alone. I can time my work breaks accordingly with your pets’ potty breaks, and can even work from your home if needed. That said, I’m good with any day of the week! I don’t have any pets of my own, and my household consists of just my boyfriend (who is also an animal-lover!) and me. We have a fenced in yard and patio for your pup to run around and we enjoy going for walks as well. We even have a doggy door on our screened in porch! If your pet is house-trained, I have no problem with them sleeping anywhere in the house (including with me). However, if they’re still house-training or prefer the comfort of their cage, I’m happy to create a safe space for them to be temporarily crated.
About: Animals are a gift. As someone who has had dogs and cats for close to twenty years, I know how to treat all animals with the respect and care they deserve. Taking care of animals is a high responsibility that I know I am more than capable of providing. I am comfortable with all types of animals, and have experience with small and large dogs, cats, pigs, cows, and horses. I also have experience training puppies and with dogs with high energy rates. Additionally, I am always on time and think that every job, no matter the type, should be treated with the same professionalism, commitment, and respect. I have experience administering insulin and oral medications to dogs and am comfortable providing high quality care to your pet. Additionally, I am a nurse that enjoys taking care of people and animals. On days that I am at the hospital, my husband who works from home will take care of your furry friend! He is able to hang out with your pet at all times - something I’m jealous of! As a pet sitting duo, we offer a unique experience by being able to be with your pet at all times. We can't wait to meet your furry friend! :) I care for every animal with the same level of love and patience I would want my own dog to be taken care of. I think it is extremely important to provide a safe, loving environment for your pets, especially since they automatically give you their love and expect nothing in return. Additionally, I think it's important to respect everyone's space so I treat everyone's house with extreme care and respect when house sitting or performing a drop in visit.
“Another good week w Riley for our 5-yr old, lively dog. Riley is consistently on time, positive, and ready to walk. She is attentive to his pace, especially in very hot weather. She always gives 150%.”
About: I’ve taken care of all breeds, all ages! I work from home so they have constant company and I love having dogs around whenever I take a break & need some cuddles. Because I work from home I am available any day of the week including weekends. I’ll have plenty of time to give them attention & go outside! I have plenty of space in my home, and a dog to keep them company. I know not all dogs are as friendly & “playful” as mine, so I can separate them without any issue to keep everyone comfortable. (Large kennel or a play gate for separation)
About: I once brought our family dog back to life by administering CPR. True story. This is the level of trust you can place in me to care for your beloved companions! Not only is their safety guranteed, but I genuinely value my time with all pets under my care. I will always go above and beyond to provide a safe, upbeat and loving environment that meets their needs and yours. Belly rubs guranteed. My schedule may vary. However, early mornings and late nights are guranteed. Reach out to discuss how we can personalize our visits to suit your needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize establishing trust and familiarity, respecting your pet's routine and surroundings. I maintain clear communication with you, ensuring that your pet's needs are met and any concerns addressed promptly. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or simply providing companionship, I approach each interaction with patience, kindness, and a genuine love for animals.
“Taylor is the best! She is so flexible with our ever changing work schedules. Always on time and sends the best pictures of our dog that make us smile! ❤️”
About: Ever since I was born, my family always had dogs in the house as they would often provide foster care, we also ended up adopting a few of them! When I was older, around 14, I began looking after and caring for animals from my friends and family. Because of this, I have great experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles and even pigs! I'm currently searching for a new job - so I have plenty of time to fit in animal care daily. For the meantime, I treat this as my part-time job! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. My apartment has doors separate my room and the kitchen, so its easy for me to watch animals within my space. There is also an enclosed outdoor area for easy walks!
About: I have always grown up with many dogs and cats. I am familiar with training puppies as well as administering shots to ill or old pets. I am also equipped to handle small, medium, and large dogs. I have always been around cats and dogs at home, and I find myself doing my day to day routine with animals at my side. Growing up with my family loving animals, and my aunt being a veterinarian, I have the empathy and understanding to carefully care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard at home as well as one dog. I can accommodate if you wish to have your pets separated from mine, or they can play together. If they have daily required medicines, I can also administer those.
About: I love animals of all kinds and personalities! I love those who want to play and those who want to chill! I am very good with large, energetic dogs in particular. I have lived with many different animals and friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for many years to pet sit for them; I hope to be able to say the same for you! :) I am currently working full time early mornings to late afternoons. I will have plenty of time for walkies, fetch, baths, meals, zoomies etc. in the evenings on days I work typically Sat-Wed) and all day on my days off (typically Thurs/Fri). *subject to flexibility and change* In both my home as well as yours, I would try to do what you have expressed you would like, as well as what I deem best for your fuzzy friend (non fuzzies welcome too)! I will make sure they are all tuckered out if they like to play, as well as clean, happy, satisfied, and well fed. I just love to play with and care for animals (while also have respect and standoffish admiration for those pets that prefer their own space and company). I can do pet sitting, walking, stopping in and feeding, and other things we can discuss! :)

Grace V.
“If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving toward animals, look no further than Grace. She is hands-down the best dog watcher we've ever had! From the very beginning, Grace impressed us with her professionalism and warmth. She took the time to get to know our dog’s routines, quirks, and favorite activities. Whether it was walks, feeding times, or just cuddle sessions on the couch, she treated our pup like her own. We were especially grateful for the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly happy, relaxed, and thoroughly spoiled – in the best way possible! Grace has an incredible way with animals. She’s patient, calm, and attentive, which made a world of difference for our dog, who can sometimes be a little anxious. Grace always goes above and beyond. We wouldn’t trust anyone else. If you want your dog to be in the best hands, Grace is the one!”

Alejandro P.
“Alejandro initially watched my dog Whiskey for one week while I went to a conference. She is a very anxious dog, but he was great with her and she warmed up right away. He stayed at my apartment with her and sent frequent updates with photos of them cuddling. He has since walked her many times and watched her overnight, and I feel great knowing she is with someone who will be patient with her, and can also handle her reactive behavior towards vehicles on walks. I would absolutely recommend Alejandro as a pet sitter or dog walker, he is amazing with animals and super reliable!”
Kristian D.
“I currently live with Kristian and her pet husky, Klea. Never before have I met a big and energetic dog that’s as sweet and well behaved; and it’s clear it comes from Kristian’s attentiveness and love for her. Kristian has pet sat for friends as well, going above and beyond to see to their needs. She would be a superb caregiver for your team!”
Carter C.
“The most loving and responsible person I know, Carter Cooper! She loves all the critters in the world, from frogs to cats to parrots, and she’ll be sure to give your pet the best possible care no matter what shape or color it comes in. I could not recommend her more to love your pets while you’re away!! I know she will be the best pet sitter in the world because she watches my own cat all the time! Carter has watched over Garbanzo Bean so many times, from just 1 day all the way up to two weeks, and when I got back, Bean wouldn’t leave Carter’s side! Carter is the best for all your animals needs. :)”

Emily is a great communicator and tailors Zoey’s walks based on her energy levels and the weather, which is must appreciated.
Kylie is an absolute gem! She took my puppy for a walk and made sure to take plenty of pics and even made sure he had some fresh water before she left! You can truly tell she cares about animals and she even greeted my cat as well before she left! A great dog walker!
Savannah is one of my go-tos. I trust her with Buster and she is so good with him. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to help care for their fur baby.
Rachel is one of my favorite dog walkers on Rover. She is so good with Buster and he seems to like her a lot as well.
Very responsive and always right on schedule. Our dog had to take some medication while we were away and it was no problem at all. Highly recommend.
Really happy to have been able to book Gabe. He was super sensitive to my senior boys, made adjustments when they didn’t want to do what I’d planned. Gabe prioritized what he knew was most important which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely call him again.
Elizabeth took Leila on Walks for almost 2 years. She was VERY flexible which was great for our crazy schedule. She was also willing to help out on extra days too. Highly recommended her to anyone.
Isabel is great! On time, professional, communicative, flexible, kind, and patient with my slightly anxious dog. Highly recommend!
Amazing communication, super flexible, Tucker definitely enjoyed his walks, and super nice on top of it all! Would 100% recommend!!!
Rachel was great with our puppy, Chloe. She adjusted plan based on weather as needed and make sure Chloe got just what she needed. Great reliability and communication.
Sophia did great! We were gone for almost a week. During that time Sophia consistently walked, fed, loved and sent pictures of it all 3 times a day. We have 2 dogs and they can be a handful. I highly recommend Sophia!
Literally my favorite dog walker on this app. No lie. She sent so many photos and really cared for my dog! She seriously went above and beyond. I’m so grateful. I will be recommending her on my apartment building community app. I’m telling you- HIRE SYDNEY. You will not regret it!!
Jadyn was awesome! She took great care of our 5 month old puppy by walking him with her dog, letting them play, & feeding him. She picked up after him and communicated really well with us. She met with us prior to the first walk so her dog could meet ours to see how they interact which was much appreciated. We trust her & will definitely hire her again!
Jacquelyn was great with Tito! She was attentive and gave him lots of affection. An excellent communicator as well. Would definitely use her services again!
Kianna was very prompt in accepting a last minute service and communicated well during her visit. Will be booking in again in the future.
I will definitely book Harrison again! He was able to see my pup and walk her short notice. He was on time and provided good communication with me! Thanks Harrison!
