“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 grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

“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.”
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: 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!
“We met Megan for the meet and greet and Buster loved her he was right at home . She was prompt everyday and did what she had to do . We will use her again , I highly recommend Megan your next walk !!!!??”
About: Hi everyone, I’m Bre! ALL MALES DOGS MUST BE NEUTERED! I will not watch unneutered male dogs, they pee all over my house and it’s sucks I work from home so typically do long walks once in the morning and once in the evening, with a small lunch time potty break Trained dogs are welcome to free roam my apartment! I do have a large tiled (no carpet) kitchen and dining room that I can keep them contained to if they are not trained but I do not prefer that
“We got to meet Anna and Wilder in advance and they were both very tolerant of some bounciness on Lilly’s part. Anna was very good in communicating about when she would be coming by, and she was persistent in getting Lilly to walk on a leash (when Lilly would’ve liked to have just run around in the yard).”
About: Howdy! I am Jenna. I love all dogs! I have an English Lab who is 5 years old. We live in East Nashville and have a fenced-in yard. I work from home full-time and would love to hang out with your pup all day.
“Shelby is great! My dog is large, anxious, and is a little bit particular but she took all of it in stride and Nala really seems to like her. Looking forward to having her come regularly 😊”
About: I have been pet sitting for individuals since I was in high school and love getting to interact with animals! I love going on walks and spending time with pets. I am a college student so I have lots of free time and breaks throughout my day. I'm available all day weekends and most weekdays! I have experience with many different animals and behavioral types. I can handle any level of energy and know how to react to different scenarios.
About: hey there! i am a local who loves getting outside and connecting with my neighbors! pets bring so much joy to east nashville, and i would just love to add some regular drop ins and walks to my routine. life can be full and we all need some help sometimes! i have a hybrid role in customer service for a nashville based clothing company. i don't have children or pets of my own, so i have a lot of flexibility for walks, drop ins and sleep overs! i'm in office about half of the week, but have a good bit of weekday and weekend midday availability. i love clear communication with pet owners about the pets personality and routine. i want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible when in my care. i'll always treat your pet as family, because pets are people too.
“Isabel is communicative, on time, and kind with my somewhat anxious dog! She is flexible and willing to work with my time needs and schedule. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I especially enjoy giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they need during the day. I’m available Monday through Thursday during school hours, which gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’d love to become your dog’s trusted daytime companion! Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pup like my own, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and cuddles while you’re away.
About: I have always had a deep passion for animals, which began in childhood when I was thrilled to be old enough to walk my grandparents’ dogs. For the past four years, I’ve also had the joy of being a cat mom, which has further strengthened my appreciation for the love and care that pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and engaged while in my care. In addition to my personal experience, I have over two years of professional pet care experience, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and administering specific care and medical instructions. I am comfortable working with both low-energy and high-energy dogs, and I always tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, as I am off work at 2 p.m. each day and have the remainder of my day available to dedicate to walking or caring for your pet. In addition, I have 3 full days off each week, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Just as I do with my own pet, I carefully monitor the environment to ensure there are no potential hazards, such as unsafe objects, foods, or items that could cause harm. My goal is to provide a secure, comfortable, and caring environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. Whether we’re playing, building trust, or simply sharing space, I find every interaction rewarding!
About: I love dogs. I have had my own for the past 6 years and have done a ton of dog sitting since I moved to Nashville. I have cared for all types of dogs, from puppies to seniors and everything in between. I am very active and love to go on walks or play tug. I am communicative with dog owners when they are away. I would absolutely love to watch your dog. I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule so your doggies needs will come first. Whatever schedule your dog is used to is what I will follow. I think it's really important to keep a dog's "normal" consistent when the owner is away. I will follow what the dog is used to so that they feel comfortable and aren't overwhelmed by the changes with their owner being gone.
About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up with lots of pets, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. I especially love cats, but I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I know every pet has their own routine and quirks, and I’m happy to give them whatever attention, patience, or extra care they need. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send lots of photos and updates! I work remotely full time, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets and give them lots of attention. I also love walking and being outside, so taking dogs out for walks is something I genuinely enjoy! I’m based in West Nashville and am around on weekends, with plenty of time to hang out with your pets and make sure they’re well cared for :) I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow any routines or instructions you provide, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and affection!
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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
I’m so thankful we found Shannon! She takes such good care of Stetson, and it makes me so happy knowing he has someone who genuinely cares about him while I’m at work. She’s always so sweet, dependable, and great at keeping me updated. I can tell Stetson absolutely loves his time with her, which means so much to me. I seriously couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my boy!
Highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a fun, smart, responsible and communicative caregiver. She stepped into a stressful last minute situation and am so thankful. The speed of Jojo's tail wag is a measure of her excitement and it was off the radar for Maddie.
We’ve had such a great experiences with Allison ! She’s checked on our pup numerous times and is always reliable, caring, and great with her. She’s also been incredibly flexible and was able to help us out last minute in a pinch, which we really appreciated. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Mia is the best! Evie is very shy around most new people. Mia had only walked her once before, but for the first time ever, Evie RAN up to someone other than me or family. She was so excited to see her, went with her without even looking back at me, and was a very happy, tired puppy when she got back. Cannot recommend Mia more - def book her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Nashville is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 3,943 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nashville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Nashville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Nashville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
