“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!”
“Isabel was amazing! She let Remy out twice while we were at work and he loved it—she sent plenty of pics and even worked with us when we had some gate issues! Will be reaching back out to her!!”
“Chloe walked my dog for me and was great so I came back to her when I was out of town with my animals just to water my plants 😂 and she did! I asked her and she did it the next day. So helpful and flexible and nice!!!!”
“Sarah was super thorough and kind to us and our puppy. She called ahead to make sure she knew how to best care for our dog and was flexible to small schedule changes/extra instructions. She even took super cute pics and kept us updated about what she did/how it went. You should feel comfortable with you dog in her hands. Thanks again, Sarah!”
“I really appreciate Bae Lee sitting our cat Little Boy at the last minute after a no-show by another sitter. I was really anxious about using this service after that no-show but Bae Lee came in everyday and did her check-ins with Little Boy so that I knew he was secure and well cared for and that really put me at ease. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Kathrine checked in on our cat, Hadoop, twice a day reliably. She has great communication, is very friendly, and made my older cat feel comfortable right away. She was able to give him his pills no problem and I appreciate that she asked when she had a question. Would definitely recommended her!”
About: I grew up in a dog loving household, and as the oldest child, had a very helping hand in the care and training of our dogs. We now have a Goldendoodle named Truman who lives full time with my parents, but loves to come for lengthy visits when they travel. My boyfriend and I have a dog together - Nala - who is a sweet Shepsky mix. She can be an anxious girl, and doesn’t always love other dogs, so I have gained a lot of experience in helping her get comfortable around strangers. I also have experience with all ages of both cats and dogs (big and small). Entrusting me with your pet means that they will safely receive cuddles and playtime and you will receive lots of pictures and updates. I am a nurse by day, but have been cutting back on my hours. On my days off, I am extremely flexible. My schedule reflects the days I have available for a drop in or to walk your pet! At this time, I will be caring for pets only at your home. Our dog takes a lot of warming up to other pets! I am open to having the pets in my car for a trip to the park or a walk or hike!
“If you want to trust anyone with your animals trust maddie! She was a god sent while I was away and my pup got sick. She immediately called me and stayed with me on the phone calm as can be while she picked up his nightmare of a mess. She followed all the suggestions I gave her and my pup was feeling better the next morning. She also washed his bed and folded our towels that were in the dryer. I honestly couldnt recommend someone more she is the BEST!”
About: After years of loving and training family pets, I began my fostering experience where I placed over 5 dogs to new families! Hoping to continue my love of animals in a new city! I work remotely in Germantown, and I'm flexible to daily midday visits! Whether it is for feeding, a walk, or a quick check-in, I'm happy to help! I am able to host pets for short periods of time. I live an apartment complex, but have access to multiple nearby parks. Overnights possible for right fit.
About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life. From chihuahuas, to golden retrievers, to rescues I have had experience with a myriad of different dog breeds and personalities! On top of caring for, walking, and playing with the dogs my family owned, one of my earliest jobs was dog-sitting neighborhood dogs when their families were out of town. You can count on me to provide the same high quality care to your dogs that I would provide to my own. I am a current medical student in Nashville. As a result, most of my availability will fall on the weekends! My availability on Fridays would start around 6:30 pm and I can go to any time on Sunday. I will always respect your house rules and items when caring for your pets at your home. I will also respect and reinforce the way in which you have trained your pets (crate training, meal times, etc). I will always care for your pet to a high level of detail, making sure they have sufficient walks, making sure to clean up any mess they make, and making sure all of their needs are met!
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.
About: Though this isn’t recommended, I bottle-fed my past fur baby to health because she was taken from her mom too soon. I was young, and my family didn’t know any better, but that dedication I had at the time to loving and caring for my dog translates to my love and care Iplan to have with yours. I love animals and deeply value their innocence, so you never have to be concerned about their care with me! I am currently a graduate student at vanderbilt, so my daily schedule varies, but most of my availability falls in the middle of the day and weekends. It depends on the day, but I will do my best to accommodate. I take care of a client’s home how I take care of mine (which I understand is not extremely helpful considering you don’t know my living situation, but I value a clean and well-taken care of space). As long as I am in someone else’s space, I am respectful, clean, and make sure I leave it the same or better than when I arrived.
About: I am a dog lover hoping to know and love as many dogs as I can! I have spent over 8 years volunteering at various dog shelters and have learned how to handle and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have also fostered for a few years and ended up rescuing my own dog, Daisy, last year. I have learned many skills including leash handling, reading cues from dogs, handling stressful situations, raising a puppy, and understanding what a dog needs to be fulfilled (whether low energy, high energy, or in between). A dog’s comfort is always my priority and I love getting to know each dog's personality so that I can give them the love they need! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available on weekends. Since I have my own dog, I have a complete routine for pet care. I have a friendly dog named Daisy and plenty of toys, leashes, and treats. We also have a dog park in our apartment complex and plenty of space to roam around and explore. I prioritize Daisy and will do the same for your dog!
About: Hi there! My names Kelly and I would love to take care of your pets! I’ve been taking care of my own for more than 10 years and have raised a number of different types of animals from squirrels all the way to cats! Like everyone else on here, I love animals so much, and would make it my priority to make sure your animal is well taken care of! I’ll make sure your pet gets exercise along with some TLC while you’re away! I would love to take care of your pet and would treat them like my own! I currently work a full-time job, but it’s remote so im available really any time of day I live right next to a dog park and have plenty of area to walk your pet around! There's even a greenway nearby for longer routes. I currently work a full time job during the day, but it is remote, which means I can provide constant care to your pet! I’m also available most weekends! I have plenty of walkways near my apartment for us to walk around! When i’m staying at your home, I make sure the pet gets plenty of exercise outside and inside. We will go on nice king walks, play games etc!
About: I have owned and cared for cats since I was a child. I am a dedicated fur aunt to amazing pups as well! I believe that allowing someone to care for your pet requires a huge amount of trust, and you want someone who will take care of them as you have and will love them like their own. I will always strive to go the extra mile and provide them the care and love they need. I have experiences with a variety of dogs as well from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I work a hybrid schedule and am done by 3:30 everyday. I would love to have fur babies to take care of after work on my in person days, and I am available all day on my remote days and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but I cannot accommodate overnight boarding. I am happy to come to your residence though. I will of course follow your instructions, but I believe in spoiling the fur babies! I know they miss their owners, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all kinds and genuinely enjoy providing them with love, attention and the care they need. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment tailored to each pets individual personality and needs. Wherever it’s long walks, interactive play or quiet companionship I strive to make every pet feel well loved while their owner is away. As an animal lover and firefighter I like to stay busy on and off shift. My schedule of working 2 days on also gives me the luxury of having 4 days off. During that time I am available for your pet as long as you need me for! Your pet will have company with my playful golden doodle (Bentley). They will have access to a spacious apartment with a dog park right outside! Additionally request can always be accommodated to meet your pets needs.

Bae was wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was checking in on them and making sure they had everything they needed. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
