About: My entire life has revolved around raising and caring for dogs, and I have worked with dogs from all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages, and backgrounds. Ranging from newborn puppies to older rescues and shepherds to pits, I understand that patience and understanding is key to developing a strong and trusting relationship with any dog. Capable of training certain commands and working on obedience training I am currently a student working on only remote coursework that is asynchronous. I have a lot of flexibility and free time in the day, so earning some extra money while also caring for pets sounds like a great idea! I am in an apartment myself, however we keep a good schedule for our dog to keep her healthy and active. She is on a fixed eating schedule (morning and night) and gets to be outside multiple times a day, and at least 1 of those times is a walk. Treats and reinforcement on obedience and tricks daily are a must in our home as well. For clients, I offer what they ask. Dogs are very routine oriented and do not like it to be messed up, and I respect that for the dog as well as the owner. If there is anything the owner would like me to work on with the dog (certain tricks or manners), I am more than happy to help to the best of my abilities. During check-ins I see how the dog is doing both physically and emotionally, being sure to engage with them to help break up the monotony of sitting alone or being understimulated for extended periods of time.
About: I have always had dogs growing up! I helped take care of our elderly dog, giving him medicine and helping him up/down the stairs before he passed. And after him, we got 2 CRAZY puppies so I have helped with all stages when it comes to dogs! My schedule is very open this summer, so I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule, whether you need care during the week, on weekends, or at the last minute whenever possible. I am happy to follow any instructions you give me! I know how important it is for your animals to be cared for while you are gone. I love going on walks, so adding a furry companion would be perfect!
“Teresa is an angel! She takes fantastic care of my golden retriever pup, Mavvy, and is incredibly reliable. Very grateful to have her and would highly recommend?l!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s pets of all types and ages for over 15 years. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters as a foster parent and dog walker. I’m currently working remotely with a very flexible schedule so I am able to respond to requests at any time or throughout the entire day as needed. I am able to provide a safe and secure environment for your pet with a fenced in backyard and no other animals in the home to ensure your fur baby is comfortable and free to go outside as needed.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!
“Kendra did a great job walking my dog, Chewie! She took him on long walks and sent me really nice pictures that reassured me he was happy and well cared for. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands, and I’d definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”
About: Pets have always held a special place in my heart, my sister has always seen me reliable enough to remain loving and caring to her cats. As she works 2 jobs, I've ensured that her cat remains healthy and loved throughout the day. :) I recently graduated college from architecture. I haven't landed a job for my field yet, so I am available to work. I'll be looking for an evening host position, but I would be more than happy to take care of someone's pet in the day. :)) As my sister works two jobs, I make sure to remain attentive to her cat. I look after Churro by feeding, playing, chatting with him to make sure his needs are met. If there is any suspicious behavior I ensure to alert my sister immediately.
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.
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
About: I grew up on a farm so the care for all furry animals is somewhat second nature to me, especially to the good, bad, and the ugly. Over the years, I had my fair share of experience loving and looking after dogs, cats, sheep, horses, cows, and even chickens. My experience with dogs were primarily during my youth, and the sizes my pups were small to medium dogs. But, I never shy away from larger dogs, but that is to say traing for larger dogs would be an area where I would learn/grow to ensure that your pet is in good hands. I'm currently working full-time as an Architectural Designer, but I have an affinity to care for fur babies during my free time. My current schedule allows me to care for your pets during: WEEKENDS - all day MONDAY - Before 8, between 11-12, and after 5 FRIDAY - Before 8, between 11-13, and after 5 HOLIDAYS - ONLY - Easter weekend & 4th of July Under my care, your pupps to adult/senior dogs would expect: Daily Walks and Outdoor Play: I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and fresh air tailored to their energy level. Interactive Play Sessions: From fetch to tug-of-war to puzzle toys, I’ll keep their mind and body engaged. Mental Enrichment Activities: I offer stimulating games like treat puzzles, training games, and sensory activities to keep them sharp and happy. Customized Routines: I adjust activities based on your pet’s age, breed, and personality — from active play for energetic pups to gentle strolls for seniors. Socialization Opportunities: (With your permission) I can introduce safe, supervised interactions with other friendly pets for healthy social enrichment. Training Reinforcement: I’ll happily practice basic commands and manners during our time together to support any training you’ve started/already established. Affection and Attention: Emotional health is important too! I make sure every pet gets quality cuddle time, encouragement, and loving care.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience training puppies as I have had multiple puppies throughout my life. I also have experience with more senior pups and the special needs they require, such as administering medications. I work in healthcare so my schedule changes week to week, which means I have flexible hours and can be of help at multiple times of day! I make sure the home is safe and secure for pets of all sizes. I am always very polite and clean at other peoples homes.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
Elizabeth rescued me as I needed a sitter last minute to attend an event in downtown Nashville. Unfortunately a few of my other sitters prior to booking with Elizabeth had something come up. She is reliable, caring, attentive, & went above and beyond for my Miko! I would definitely request her again when visiting Nashville ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and you should also!!!
Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finley! She is dependable, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Finley always comes home happy and well cared for, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands. Olivia is communicative, punctual, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup gets great exercise and attention. We truly appreciate her professionalism and the care she puts into every visit. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
I can’t recommend Jessica enough!! This was our first time using Rover and one of the first times we had to leave our 6 month old puppy home while we went on a trip. She did an amazing job! -She did a meet and greet with our dog even before we booked (and it was within a days notice!) -Great communication about our puppy’s needs and their sessions. She responded quickly. -She sent really thoughtful notes and communication. Her pictures were also SO cute. -She asked questions that demonstrated she clearly had experience with dogs and also cared about the well-being of our puppy (for example asking about heat precautions given a dog weather advisory). Overall, Jessica is incredible. She put me at ease and our puppy LOVED her and was clearly very happy. You will not regret working with her! We will definitely request her services again for our next trip!
Anna went above and beyond while caring for my dog. When my dog stepped on a bee, she stayed calm, removed the stinger right away, and kept me informed throughout. Her quick thinking and compassion made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I’m so grateful to have someone who cares for my dog like her own!
Katherine has been amazing! She’s been doing weekly walks and dropin visits for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated with photos and notes after each visit. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about my dog and takes the time to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Having Katherine’s help has given me so much peace of mind, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter/walker. We’re so grateful for her! 🤍
Thomas is absolutely amazing. We have one puppy and one senior dog & they both returned home from their walks practically smiling, and definitely with their tails wagging. I enjoyed meeting Thomas and talking with him. He’s very professional, but also friendly and kind. My dogs love him and we all look forward to seeing him again soon.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Nashville on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Nashville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Nashville.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nashville. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
