“Megan was very responsive and sent several pictures of my dog while he was there. I felt comfortable knowing that he was taken care of. We will use Megan again if I need a sitter in Nashville.”


“Olivia was excellent! Myles truly loved the love and attention he received 😊 which makes mama’s heart happy too. Would definitely rebook against. Thank you Olivia.”


“Erid and Cheryl are Angels. My little one really enjoyed his stay. I can not thank you both enough for taking such great care of him and showing him all the love and extra care. You all are not just great dog caretakers, but great people and I will definitely be back again!”


“Alyssa and Meghan were fantastic sitters for Cowboy! We loved the daily updates and recaps of their day with lots of pictures and videos. They were super accommodating for cowboys first time with a sitter and he had a blast!”


“Troy was great with Loki. He was always quick to respond and kept him very active during his stay. Really seemed like Loki had a great time and it was very easy to work with Troy. Would recommend and rebook in the future.”


“We are thrilled that we found Melissa on Rover. From the get go, she displayed clear communication regarding instructions and how she is set up at her house (we boarded our cat with her). Our cat requires oral medication twice a day and she was more than up for the challenge. She read all of our instructions for his medicine, diet, and general health concerns, and then sent us an email with all of it in her own words proving that she had read and understood everything! This was an unexpected but very nice touch that showed her commitment to her pet guest’s health. Both pick up and drop off were very simple as her house was easy to find and conveniently located in Donelson. She provided updates throughout the weekend including pictures and videos of our cat, Barney. This was our first time boarding Barney so we were nervous, but it was clear that Melissa was experienced and up for the challenge. We will be booking more stays in the future for Barney as Melissa made him feel very welcome. He even warmed up to her by the 2nd day or so which is unusual for cats! We cannot recommend Melissa enough as it’s obvious she’s an animal lover who will undoubtedly take wonderful care of your furry loved one.”


“Natalie sent us pictures of my dog Spud multiple times a day, showing her dog Rory and Spud playing and happy! My dog is diabetic and she was patient n willing to give him his daily shots. I would absolutely recommend Natalie to someone looking for excellent care for their dog! I felt completely confident in her looking over Spud!”


“Asmita was such a wonderful sitter!! I felt very safe leaving my dog with her. She always made sure to send me daily updates and pictures while i was away for almost 6 days! I was also extremely grateful for her being so flexible. As i had to make some last second changes to the exact dates i was going to be out of town but Asmita was very accommodating and kind. I would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone else! I know my dog would be happy to see her again!”

“My dog was very happy staying with Christina! She seemed like she didn't want to leave :) I got lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone and felt confident that she was in good hands.”

“Tara was a wonderful sitter for our golden retriever. We traveled to the Franklin area with our family and decided last minute to find a sitter for our pup so we could explore the town and not worry about leaving him in the hotel alone. Tara gave him lots of love and snuggles and was great at communicating/ sending photos.”

Merry Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
We have an anxious, dog reactive dog and Sarah is the only person we trust to watch him! So much so that even after moving out of the Nashville area, we still drive 2 hours to bring him to her anytime we go on vacation. She always goes above and beyond and takes amazing care of him!

I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear that Sean genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. He was attentive, communicative, and incredibly kind—not just to our pup, but to us as well. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Abigail watched my little guy for the first time while I was out of the country for 10 days and he had a great time! She is so lovely, took such good care of him, and she took the time to meet us way in advance. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her for such a long stay on the first time. Highly recommend Abigail and I know I’ll be rebooking as well!

Kate and Maggie hit it off right away and we would definitely book her again if we're traveling through Nashville. She was easy to communicate with, both before and during Maggie's stay. She was ready for Maggie when we arrived and all of her stuff was ready when we picked her up the next day. Our girl seemed happy and not stressed, so we think she got very good care with Kate. She's very personable and seems to genuinely love dogs.

Hannah (and Jake) are absolutely awesome. Sent tons of pictures of Willy and Benji (their dog) playing together. Benji is a good dog and can be trusted around your pup. My dog Willy was a little anxious and they worked extra hard to help ease his nerves and make him feel at home. 100% recommend

Judy kept my new baby Maverick while we enjoyed a weekend away. We received regular photos and updates and he absolutely loved all the walks and his trip to the dog park. Even when I went to pick him up, he went back to her to give some loves before he left. Highly recommend her ☺️
