About: I love animals of all kinds! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and have watched over family and friends’ pets. I am new to Nashville and looking to connect with some new furry friends! I work full time during the week, so my availability is primarily on the weekends and late evenings. I enjoy going on walks, visiting parks, and playing with dogs! I live in an apartment by myself and do not currently have any pets of my own. I prefer visits to your home to make sure your pet is safe and has what they need to be comfortable!
About: I have experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays in my home. Friends, family, and pet owners have trusted me to provide attentive and reliable care, whether that means feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply keeping their dogs company throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood, Centennial Park, and the Vanderbilt area. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. Long walks are one of my favorite activities, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park within the community and several walkable areas nearby. I’m also close to Centennial Park and the Vanderbilt campus, which are great locations for safe, enjoyable walks. I have experience caring for dogs in my home for extended stays, as well as providing dog walking and pet-sitting services. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help your dog feel happy and secure while you're away.
“So thankful for you Jill! As an anxious pet owner and first time Roverer, you have been so communicative and gentle with my little dog and his boundaries, and made me feel much more comfortable being away from him.”
“Leann took great care of my Rotti who isn’t the easiest sometimes with new people. She gave calls, texts and pics to put me at ease while I was away. Highly recommend her!”
About: Grew up with dogs my entire life, once I got a little older I used to watch my family friends animals all the time! Now in Nashville I help volunteer at wags and walks but I want to do more! I work remote for work so I have a flexible schedule that can adjust as needed. Im happy to snuggle with your animals or run around and play! I work remote so I am easily able to play with your animals or let them out and enjoy the fresh air for a little bit! I will follow any rules you may have for your animal. Im comfortable handling some bigger dogs on a leash or running around with them in your backyard. I've been around animals a lot so I know to pick up on if something may be wrong and will let you know right away!
“Leah was one of the best sitters I have used extremely easy to communicate with, sent at least pictures to me every single day and navigated a complex apartment extremely well. For those in downtown Nashville area she is the real deal!”
“Sophie was great with our dogs. She was very communicative, took lots of photos and went above and beyond what a typical dogsitter would do. Highly recommend. We'll be using her again for sure.”
“Thanks so much to Anna for checking in on our dogs this afternoon! This is our second time booking on Rover with Anna and it won’t be the last. Anna is communicative, on-time and very detail-oriented!”
About: I have a knack for winning over pets, especially the anxious or nervous ones. I like to be a safe, unconditionally loving place for each and every one of them. I am a life coach, so I have a very fluid schedule with a lot of gaps. Care for animals easily fits into my schedule, or should I say, can easily match their schedule :) I treat your home (and your pets) as you would. There's a good chance your home would be even a little tidier after I leave. I want you to have the same, "ah, it's so nice to trust this person" feel I would want.
“Isabel was punctual and communicative before, during, and after her drop in visit with our two dogs. It was evident that they received excellent care. She’s a delight to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Since moving to Nashville I have cared for pets and been a loyal dog walker for my neighbors. it would bring me so much joy to watch your dog and give them the best care. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I know how to handle all kinds—whether they’re energetic puppies or older, mellow dogs. I can’t wait to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! My apartment has a park, with a walking path out my back door as well as a fenced dog park as part of my community. I will keep your beloved pet safe and happy! I currently have a full-time job, Monday through Friday, but I work remotely on Fridays and have my weekends completely free! I’m also super familiar with caring for dogs since my roommate works nights and I take care of her dog regularly. Plus, I’m flexible enough to drive home during the day if needed to take a dog out for a walk or bathroom break. I love spending time with dogs and would be thrilled to help care for yours My apartment is super dog-friendly—pretty much everyone here has a dog! We even have a dog park where I can take your pup if they need some playtime. I'm also totally happy to stay at your home if that works better; I’ve dog-sat at owners’ homes before and always take great care of both their dog and their space. I absolutely love giving fluffy friends attention, and your dog would get plenty of walks, lots of playtime, and, of course, tons of pets and cuddles
“Kendra was amazing with my shy boy, Felix. She was patient and showed up every day on time and stayed for the perfect amount of time. Will be reaching out to Kendra in the future!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with three dogs of my own, one Australian Shepherd and two Shelties, all girls. My oldest is 9, and we have been hiking and training together since she was a puppy. I take my dogs on daily walks, and they have joined me on hikes all across the United States. They love being active and spending time outdoors just like I do. All of my dogs are leash trained and off leash trained, and I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once with experience handling up to six dogs at a time. I work from home Monday through Friday and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs on walks during my lunch break and again after I finish work at 4 PM, and I would love to have more pups join us on our daily adventures. I live in Germantown in a home with a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to play and relax. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or just lounging around, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while staying with me. My home is very dog-friendly, and I treat every dog like part of the family.
“Erin was a fantastic rover! Before my trip, she was flexible on timing to come over and meet my pet / learn his routine, and was extremely communicative during my time away! I got meaningful updates every visit and felt like my pet was in very capable hands🙂”

I can't recommend her enough! She was able to check on my dog with less than 12 hours' notice, which was such a lifesaver. She was responsive, reliable, and made the whole process completely stress-free. She took great care of my pup, kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I'm so grateful for her flexibility and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much!
I have had multiple visits with Elizabeth and she is my hands down favorite sitter! She is so good with my shy kitty and my doggo. So grateful I found her! It's hard for me to trust people, but she always surpasses the standard and does an amazing job in my home with my critters' care. Eill definitely be rebooking!
Sarah was positively amazing! She was so kind and attentive to Gus's needs and even thought of things that I (his owner) didn't think about. She went above and beyond to make sure that Gus felt safe and secure. She took adorable photos of Gus and kept me updated on him throughout our time away. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!
I can’t recommend her enough! She watched my dog, Apollo, for four days while I was away, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. Apollo can be a little hesitant with new people, but she was incredibly patient and took the time to earn his trust instead of rushing the process. Before long, they were absolute besties, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy he became with her. She followed every care instruction perfectly and truly goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in her care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also really appreciated her daily updates and detailed feedback about how each visit went—it made being away from Apollo so much easier. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and Apollo absolutely adored her. I have no doubt he’ll be thrilled the next time he gets to spend time with her. I would trust her with him again in a heartbeat!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Nashville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Nashville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Nashville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
