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.
“Macy was absolutely amazing with Arlo during her check-in visits at my home! Arlo can be very timid, shy, and nervous with new people, and Macy handled him with so much patience. It meant a lot to see him warm up and let his sweet, fun personality shine through. She was always prompt for every check-in, incredibly responsive, and sent wonderful photos and detailed updates that gave me total peace of mind. Even with a busy weekend, I loved seeing each update come through and knowing Arlo was comfortable and well cared for in his own space. Macy truly made my first Rover experience such a positive one, and I would absolutely love to keep her as Arlo’s sitter for future needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate sitter. 🐾💛”
“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!”
“Rachel took excellent care of my dog and cat while I was away. She took the cutest pictures of them for me. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Hannah has consistently been amazing for our dogs! She is very detailed and provides continual updates so I know they are being well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a dog sitter!”
About: I have a few years experience of taking care of animals, alongside living my entire life with two dogs. I have experience with all ranges of pet sizes. I am comfortable with senior care, medication administration, but am more than happy to do anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of! I’m currently a college student, so I am free mostly on the weekends. I do accept weekday requests, just be aware that I have classes during these days. on summer vacation, so I am free most of the day! I love taking walks and being active, and love to spend time playing with my own dogs! I have classes from 11am - 3:30pm with evening classes on Monday and Wednesday. When sitting, my focus is on the pet and treating them as if they were my own. I want both me, your pet, and you to have fun and know everything is in good hands. My goal is to provide pets with exercise, enjoyment, and attention at all times. When I’m with my own pets, I give them lots of pets, belly rubs, and playing with toys. I bring this level of love and care to clients animals anytime I can.

“I just had the best experience with her taking care of my babies! She was super reliable, even on short notice, and you could really tell how much she loves my pups. I’m definitely going to use her services again in the future, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Stephanie was able to watch our cats on extremely short notice! I don’t even think our boys notice we were gone because Stephanie was so amazing. Highly recommend Stephanie for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi, my name is Rachel and I have been a pet lover for 26 years. I have had dogs my entire life and even two cats! I currently do not live with any dogs but at home I have two amazing dogs! I have plenty of experience with puppies and would love to play them with them and get their energy out! I can take them on long walks or runs and play with them when they get antsy. I really miss my dogs at home and am trying to be around their happy energy again! I work an office job Monday - Friday from 9 am - 5pm but am available early mornings, afternoon work, and weekends. Main availability is for weekends so I am able to give them the care they deserve all day! I’m happy to come to your home or bring your pet to my home for care. Wherever your pet feels more comfortable I am happy to accommodate!
About: Have been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and many different breeds across the years. Labs, setters, and various shepherds. I also owned a rabbit growing up and have cared for horses. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can easily stop for bathroom breaks while housesitting, go on walks during the day, or work remotely anywhere with wifi. I love to read and have put a lot of time into understanding dog body language, respectful touch for pets, and also just love to see them happy and content. Any dog I care for I would treat as my own.
“I’ve been using Leann for almost a year now since I moved to Nashville. I have nothing but great things to say about the attention and affection she gives to my kitties when I’m out of town. She’s responsive and responsible. I recommend her over and over.”
“Ariana took great care of our pups while we were out of town! They were tired when we came home from playing with her dogs 😊 she was responsive and sent updates, which we loved. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life including adopting/taking care of my own since I was a kid. Would love to help others provide quality care of their best friends! I’m currently working remotely Mon-Fri so I have a lot of flexibility to spend time at home with your pet. I enjoy providing quality time aside from just sitting around on the couch – walks are a treat for me too, not just your pup! I am very capable of driving anywhere in and around Nash. I currently work remotely in the Germantown/north Nashville area so I’m very accessible to the highway and open to traveling outside of downtown.
“I have entrusted Riley and Victoria with my medically needy animals on a few occasions. They are wonderful. My cats appreciate them and I know my animals are safe and well looked after.”

“Alicia was great. Super communicative and made us feel super comfortable! She took great care of our cat Apollo and I’m very appreciative of her and will be definitely reaching out to her again!”
About: I have shared a home with at least 1 dog my entire life, up to 5 when I was able to foster them. Also love cats and open to any other pets, but have less experience with them. I work a couple of part time jobs so I am pretty flexible, would probably be able to check on pets every 6 hours or so depending on the week. I am not able to keep any pets at my home but am willing to stay over at clients house if need be. I have a lot of prior experience house/farm sitting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
Logan did a wonderful job taking care of Holly and my three cats, Dolly, Ted, and Logan! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout each visit. I always received notifications through Rover when she started and finished her visits, along with pictures so I could see how everyone was doing. She made sure Holly was fed, spent time playing with her, and gave her plenty of attention. She also checked on the cats, making sure their automatic feeder and litter box were working properly and that they had plenty of food. It was great having the peace of mind knowing all four of my pets were being well cared for while I was away. I really appreciate Logan's help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. I'll definitely use her again! Thank you, Logan! 😊
We usually have friends help us with the pups, but no one was available for our trip this time around. Gabe was very accommodating and helpful for a last minute booking. He is very thorough and updated us about the visits. Thankful for a service like Rover and for people who will take great care your fur-babies when you are way. Thank you so much, Gabe!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Nashville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Nashville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
