“Amy took such great care of our senior cat! She handled his medication injections well and clearly cared about his well being, I felt so comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone - we will definitely book again!!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life and now have a cat. Been watching pets for 4 years now. Love animals and can’t wait to care for yours! I work M-F 8-4pm but can also do lunch time potty breaks if necessary! My office and apartment are downtown. Mornings and afternoons are easiest for me! My dogs have a fence but I have experience walking them for potty breaks as well. I can handle some pulling too! Only hoping they are house-trained:)
“Kristian did so good with Luna and Grim! She even got Luna to pay attention long enough to get some cute pictures. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
About: For the past 10 years, I have dedicated myself to pet sitting, providing long walks, boarding, and even some training. Growing up, I was never able to have pets of my own, so pet sitting has given me the joy of welcoming, many animals into my life as a part of my extended family. My reliability, friendliness, and patience, have allowed me to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved and wellcared for. I am in the works to enter graduate school, allowing for plenty of time to take care of your pet babies. Caring for them would make my day a bit more brighter Your pets are allowed in my home as my own, lots of cuddles, walks, and love. When at your home I will make sure to follow all task asked, play time, and many belly rubs
“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🙂”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs ranging from puppy/kitten to senior! I have experience with many different breeds and can adapt to your needs. I grew up with 3 cats & a golden retriever and currently have a kitty of my own. I am very active so I love to go for long walks and play, but I also love to cuddle and chill out. I’ve been looking after animals since I was young and would love to walk, feed, bathe, and love on your baby! I am currently a university student on break with a part time job so I have time for frequent visits and am very flexible with my schedule. I have house sat for neighbors and friends throughout the last few years and am very familiar with staying in others homes. One of my biggest priorities is safety of both your home and your pets. I will make sure to lock doors, turn off lights, and clean up after pets and myself. I am open to day visits or overnight stays!
“Alexandria was great! She took such good care of Luna and was so proactive about making sure her needs were met and she felt loved while I was gone! I would definitely recommend her!! I felt like my cat was in great hands.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have had four different dogs throughout my life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and life stages. When I was 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog walking and plant watering business, which taught me responsibility, reliability, and the importance of caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. I'll be starting graduate school at Vanderbilt this fall, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'll be available after my classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to making it a regular part of my week while helping busy pet owners ensure their pets receive the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I'll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention while treating both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
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 grew up with dogs of all sizes and challenges. I am a single dog mom & love pouring my energy into pups! I would love to come give your dog exercise & attention, rain or shine. I am currently self employed so it leaves my schedule open and flexible. I am available anytime. I can also be available at short notice & do not mind walking in the rain if your pup enjoys it. I am a very patient and compassionate pet owner. I understand animals communicate through movements and smells. I believe in letting dogs stop to sniff & takes breaks to observe and learn about surroundings.
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.
“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.”
“Kamaria was great with my anxious pup! She was easy to communicate with and agreed to do a meet and greet as well. She followed all my directions and took good care of my pup”
“Big thank you to Anna for checking in on our doggos on a Saturday evening! We made a last minute request and Anna still went out of her way to find time for a meet-and-greet before our scheduled drop-in. We will definitely book with Anna again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
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 .

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.
