“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things! Alexandra is the ultimate dog Walker! My dog is a pitt mix and she has lots of energy. She needed someone to walk her daily while I am in the office. Alexandra treats her so well and my dog loves her and I can tell it makes a HUGE different in my dogs day. Don’t hesitate to book Alexandra! She is trustworthy, kind and goes above and beyond for my dog. I will use her forever!”
About: i’ve worked as an overnight pet sitter since high school as a side hustle! love to play with pets of all kinds & am more than happy to help when you need an extra hand! Just relocated to the city and have some time before starting my new job, so my availability is wide open to suit your preferred schedule. I will accommodate any and all needs your pet has. I am unable to bring pets to my own home, but more than happy to take pets to parks, on long walks, or in your own back yard!
“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 am a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for family/friends/neighbors’ dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy spending time playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pup feels safe and loved! I am currently in nursing school but only have class on Thursday and Friday, so am available pretty much any time of the day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! I also have weekend availability. I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own. It is important to follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions, keep gates/doors closed, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages!
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: 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'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!
About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I live in Germantown with my husband and our 3 year old Sheltie pup and 13 year old tortie cat. I have grown up my whole life with both dogs and cats, am comfortable with small and big dogs of basically all breeds, as well as cats. I’d love to care for your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am available for what works best for your and your pets. I can work around your pet’s schedule to fit their needs! I am available for overnight house sitting, walks and drop in visits and will come to you! I am centrally located in Germantown and can work around your pet’s schedule and needs.
“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 had cats for over 7 years, so I’m very familiar with their unique personalities and needs. I also frequently take care of my friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m experienced with a variety of breeds, routines, and temperaments. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to so I am available for walks, drop-ins, or boarding at my place. My calendar is up to date. I follow the pet’s normal routine—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide an environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels just as loved and cared for while they're away.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an irresistible urge to stop and say hello to every animal I see, whether they have paws, feathers, scales, or hooves! I often joke that one of my biggest regrets is not becoming a veterinarian, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am.🩷 Being around pets genuinely fills my heart with joy. I love getting to know their unique personalities, making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and caring companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve.🫶🏼🐾 I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, loving, and attentive to your pet’s needs. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and lots of tail wags (or purrs!) along the way.✨ I have a full-time job but I get off at 5pm (Mon-Fri) and honestly I don’t mind using that extra time to spend it with some furry friends. Also I am flexible on weekends! I would ask and take note of any instructions. Other than that, I’d be playing, cuddling, teaching tricks, talking to them or showing them off to my family and friends (specially my mom). If the pet is asleep I’d be reading a book or watching a movie but close by. I enjoy their company all the way!
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
“Ariana has been such a fabulous help and walker for my pup! He loves her, and she treats him like her own. I highly recommend her for your babies! Just don’t take my times😇 Just kidding! She is awesome!”
“We had an excellent experience with Maimee. She was timely, responsive, and communicative. We loved receiving notes and photos of our corgi, Rhubarb. She spent plenty of time with her even on the days it rained or Rhubarb preferred to play inside. It was so helpful to have someone we trusted for the week I was out of town.”
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: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, I bring a calm, reliable, and attentive approach to pet care. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication and extra patience. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and respond appropriately. That might mean giving a shy cat space to warm up or redirecting an anxious dog with structure and routine. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your animal gets my full attention and care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’m committed to maintaining their routines, keeping them safe, and making sure they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I’m currently a neuroscience PhD student, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m available for morning and evening visits throughout the week, and I keep weekends open for more extended stays, drop-ins, or walks. My academic schedule allows me to plan ahead and adjust as needed, so I’m able to accommodate most routines and time-sensitive needs. Whether your pet thrives on early walks or evening attention, I can be there to make sure they stay comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication schedules as instructed, and I make sure to give pets the attention, playtime, and quiet time they’re used to. I always keep the home clean and secure which means tidying up after the pet, locking up carefully, and being respectful of the space. I take notes on any changes in behavior, eating, or bathroom habits, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so you’re always in the loop.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I'll cherish your furry friend as if they were my very own. Throughout my life I’ve had vizslas and golden retrievers, these breeds hold a special place in my heart. With extra time to give, I'm happy to share that love and care with your pet, offering a heartfelt and personalized pet-service experience they genuinely deserve. You can trust me to shower them with the attention, comfort, and affection they miss while you're away. Just as I always appreciated updates about my dog when using Rover, I'm more than happy to provide any level of updates you need to feel comfortable and connected during your time apart. I would love to have a pet of my own, but I’m waiting until I settle down from traveling so much. This is why I enjoy Rover, it gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals without compromising my other passion! My day job has flexibility of working from home or in the office. So I’m happy to work from home and provide the extra attention your pet needs while you’re away. Or if you prefer to keep them on a schedule similar to yours, happy to do what works best for you and your pet. As a devoted cat lover, I'll treat your feline like my own. I understand that every cat is unique, so let me know what your cat loves, whether it's playful activities, cozy hideaways, or just some quiet company. Your cat will receive the attention, comfort, and care they deserve while you're away. I'm here to provide you with the peace of mind you need, keeping you updated as often as you'd like.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nashville
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!!!
Fantastic sitter! We were visiting from out of town and never used Rover before. Maimee was quick to respond and flexible when we needed to adjust the schedule. She was communicative and gave us peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of. Will absolutely book again with her when we return to Nashville.

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.

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.
