“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“Heidi loves staying with Amy and Justin! She gets so excited she’ll start crying and jumping in the car as soon as we turn down their street. I always get updates with photos of how she is doing and she always looks very happy :) I know she’s in good hands every time she stays with them.”
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“Irina was very helpful and accommodating with our last minute booking while we were visiting the area. She was attentive and provided our pups with a fun play time and good care.”
“Being my first time utilizing a dog sitter, hours nervous and apprehensive Alexis made it so easy and the communication was great and she sent pictures while I was away and made the whole experience easy and beautiful. More importantly, my dog Maddie had a great time I think she was on vacation.”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“Ruchi & Nitin have been truly incredible sitters for our beloved dog. They have been extremely trustworthy and communicative. We really feel very grateful for their responsible, affectionate care they've provided.”
“Claire is a Fantastic dog sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. My dog Lily truely enjoyed two walks a day during the staying. I know from the daily picture Claire sent to me that my dog was relax, happy and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend”
“As always Poo was in good hands with Irina. I can always trust that she takes care of Poo. Only challenge is teaching Poo how to play fetch. But it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Haha.”
“My two yorkies had a great visit! Nanci was very knowledgeable and asked all the right questions to make me feel comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. She has five small dogs herself that I know my dogs had a blast playing with. Her house was cute in a nice area of Redwood City. I will most defiantly use Nanci again! ”
About: I've had animals my whole life. When family is out of town, they know who to contact! I was a professional dog walker through college. I am available any time on weekdays and weekends with enough planning. I am not currently able to do overnight stays during the week at your home, but if your animal is okay with another dog and kids, we are happy to have them stay with us! I can come to your pet to feed, play, walk, clean up after and care for them. Just let me know what is needed and I will make it work.
“Angela came through again on a short notice request. Our dog, Merle was excited to be dropped off and scratched at Angela’s front door when we arrived. Thanks again Angela!”

“We had an amazing experience with Minaa & Jason! Our dog came back so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We loved receiving the thoughtful daily texts and photo updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“Ariana was so friendly and welcoming. She took the time to get to know my cats and allowed them to become confortable in her house.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,394 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nashville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Nashville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nashville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nashville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nashville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Nashville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
