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 experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays in my home. Friends, family, and pet owners have trusted me to provide attentive and reliable care, whether that means feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply keeping their dogs company throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood, Centennial Park, and the Vanderbilt area. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. Long walks are one of my favorite activities, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park within the community and several walkable areas nearby. I’m also close to Centennial Park and the Vanderbilt campus, which are great locations for safe, enjoyable walks. I have experience caring for dogs in my home for extended stays, as well as providing dog walking and pet-sitting services. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help your dog feel happy and secure while you're away.
“Teresa is the best! She communicates clearly and is always prompt with her responses, making sure I’m kept in the loop when she takes my dog, Marley, for walks. Marley is always excited to see her, and she’s become a familiar face he truly looks forward to. We love Teresa!”
“Kirstie goes above and beyond and I'm so glad we found her to take care of our pup while we're at work. We contacted her with short notice and she is a life saver for us and our dog. Would highly recommend her!”
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: 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
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.
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 have plenty of time to love on your pup since we are on summer break! We are currently on summer break, so we have plenty of time to take care of your dog and provide them with loving care! This is our only summer job, so all attention can go to your dog! 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.
“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'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.
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!
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 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: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15 :) I love all aged pups and love long walks with them! Currently a Nurse at Vanderbilt and I am saving up money for my fiancé' and I's wedding next year :) I currently work 7-5 on M,W, TH, F. I am available after 6 any of those days and all day on Tuesdays and weekends. I am also available early mornings around 5am if needed :) I treat every dog in a way that fits their needs. I understand that some pups need time to warm up to new faces and some of them love new friends! I am happy to discuss your pets needs.
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Nashville is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
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.
Piper quite literally saved my life today! I had a last minute cancellation and she was immediately responsive and on the way. Went above and beyond as far as microwaving an egg for my finicky girl who will only eat if there’s a fancy topper on her food and all I had booked was a walk. 10/10!!! Even sent pictures and videos to ease my mind. Kind, personable, responsible, and responsive!🤩

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Nashville on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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.
