“Stephanie was amazing!!! She kept me updated & took her time with my dog as he is very shy around new people. I like that she is comfortable with giving my boy commands & taking control because he needs that structure on walks.”


About: We consistently watch friends’ dogs and have grown up with dogs our whole life. Our friends and neighbors rely on us to take care of their loving pets. We get home earlier from work than others (4pm) and have all the time to love on your pet after school! We are teachers, so we get up early and get home around 4. We can walk and play with your pup in the morning and go on a nice walk after work! We have toys for them to play with while we’re gone and will leave some music on for them. On the weekends, we love to be active with pups and take them to the dog park if wanted and love on them all day! We live in a gated community with a large dog park. We have access to other dogs that your pup can play with, and our apartment also has a pet washing station where we can bathe your dog! We also have space for your dog to roam in our home, and have a toy basket for them to choose toys to play with. We also have blankets they can lay on when sitting on the couch.
“Katherine is the best pet sitter in Nashville! She helped so much and was so reliable for my cat JoJo! She even sent daily updates and photos which put me at ease each day! Look no further for your next sitter for your animal.”

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’ve been caring for dogs for years, and one thing I always prioritize is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s overnight stays, playtime, walks, or just relaxing at home, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing 🤍 I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment and only take a limited number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets plenty of attention and care. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities and will always adjust to your dog’s needs, routines, and energy level to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I’m a full-time dental student with a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide structured care. I also come home during lunch and dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet care. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in an apartment, so we do not have yards. However, we have a dog park on the property and lots of local parks for some fun and good exercise.
“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!”

“Jill was so great! She had to find my hiding senior cat and give her oral meds, and she managed both, sending pictures along the way. We are thankful for Jill’s help and would be happy to book with her again.”
About: Lifelong pet owner and ready to care for yours! I grew up around animals my whole life and understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave them. I can guarantee I will watch and care for them as my own with frequent updates and lots of playtime. I work M-F during the week, but have full weekend availability. If you require care during the week, I can do long morning walks and evening walks and a walk during my lunch if nearby I live in an apartment and have an enclosed dog park. I will make sure your pet gets 1:1 time for their safety. I have a friendly 5 year old dachshund who is good with other dogs.
“Alexandra was great! She updated me and took a picture of my pup while she was visiting. She took Winston outside, fed him, and played with him to give him a little company. I would recommend Alexandra.”
“Gabreal was absolutely amazing. He watched our dog for almost a week and treated her with such love, kindness and respect. He sent us photos whenever he stopped by and gave us updates on how she was doing. He even dressed her up in her little Holiday sweater for pictures for Christmas for us. Extremely communicative and so helpful. HIGHLY recommend. We will be booking again in the future.”

About: Taken care of dogs of all ages and some cats too. Will be attentive to your pet for as many visits needed in a day. I’m a law student and so have flexibility to drop in during day for walks and check-ins, I am available every day of week. Afternoons typically are better I will carefully follow your instructions and pay close attention to your pet while I am with them ensuring they are being cared for and played with

“Nikki is AWESOME. I rebooked her to care for my three pups given the outstanding first experience with her. She is very attentive to details, and extremely caring and diligent. She kept me updated with comments and pics of my pups throughout the time caring for them. My dogs can get separation anxiety and she makes the adjustment very smooth for them. I even think they love her more than they love me 🤣 I'll 100% contact her for my next vacations and I know Tobi, Lunna and Coco would love to see her again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our cats! Not only had we recently introduced a new cat into our family, but we were traveling for one of our longest times away ever! We could tell from her communications and pictures that they were happy and cared for. We have very social and loving cats, and Rachel kept them feeling safe. She went WAY ABOVE the job description and helped with relationships of the cats, health, and even a little home emergency! I feel so lucky to have found her and would contact her immediately if I knew I needed a pet sitter again, or if any of my friends and family needed a pet sitter. Thanks so much, Rachel! 10 out of 10 recommend!”


“Jordan took care of our 4 cats over the past 10 days for home visits and were very thankful to receive communication and updates each day. We had some nuanced instructions and Kordan was very flexible and handled our needs well. We’ll work with Jordan again in the future!”

“Amy was great! There were difficulties on our building's end with access, but she was so communicative and worked to navigate the issues. Our little man appreciated her visits, and we would be happy to have her watch him again.”

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 have a full time job in the city where i work an early morning shift but am free in the afternoons and 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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
Once again, Piper has done an amazing job taking care of my dogs while I’m out of town. They’re so familiar with her and she keeps me up-to-date with some great photos every time. Even when she had an emergency, she let me know the situation and still made sure my boys were looked after. I would definitely recommend anybody who wants their pups to be well cared for to talk to Piper!

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. 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.
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.

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.
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.
