“Moneissa really does a great job at making both pet and parent feel comfortable! As someone who always feels uneasy leaving their dog with someone else, I was fully confident my dog was in great care with Moneissa. If you love solid updates and reassurance, she is the sitter for you! Eevee had so much fun during her stay and will be visiting again!”
“Leah provided so many updates and details that it was as if I hadn’t even left my sweet Daisy behind. Leah & Wes and “the girls” welcomed Daisy with open arms and paws! I’m so glad we found this wonderful family to look after Daisy when we are away. Daisy came home happy and I know when we use Leah & Wes again she will be well taken care of!!”
“Kandace does a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She sends plenty of happy photo updates that give us peace of mind while we are away. Highly recommended her if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring for your dog.”
“Bailie was wonderful with Kenzie!! She took great care of her and provided lots of love while I was away. She sent daily photos & videos of what they were doing. She even let Kenzie help decorate for Christmas and bake pies with her :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her!”
“Ashley was fantastic with Oso! She treated him as if he were her own pup and made sure to send us lots of pictures and videos of how Oso was doing through out his stay. She also made a very helpful document to help us continue the training she started with Oso while he stayed with her! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley should we ever need boarding again!”
“This was a great first time Rover experience! Kayahja sent me pictures and videos each day I was gone. I was also told my Charli interacted really well with her dogs, which was the main reason I wanted Charli to board with someone who has dogs because she doesn’t get a lot of close interaction. Kayahja was very nice and communicative with me. Will be booking with her again!”
About: I've taken care of other dogs on and off for at least 15 years, and always been in charge of the house pets. My dog Boba and I go to the park and have lots of experience interacting with many dogs. We get lots of exercise together, have a big yard, and have lots of balls to fetch! If pet sitting, would leave your pet alone for at most 2 hours to bring my dog to the park, if he needs it, or a few minutes to grab food. Would be willing to bring your dog to the park with us. Mostly free roam of house and fenced in and camera'd ~1 acre yard. Fenced in yard, cameras outside to watch. Do not leave home during the day, pet will always have someone nearby. Multiple water bowls and beds.
“Jill was amazing with our two dogs. She treated them like her own. She genuinely cared for our dogs and was great about communicating. Sent us pictures throughout their stay enjoying the comfort of her home while we toured downtown Nashville and went to a show at the Grand Ole Opry. Highly recommend Jill for caring for your dog!!!”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
“Ariana and her dogs were great! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our dogs got a long very well together, they were so fun and super sweet! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ashley was great! She sent pictures every day she watched Alphonse and took such good care of him. It made my trip much less stressful knowing she was watching him. I would definitely have Ashley watch him again.”
“We were absolutely delighted with the services provided by Rover pet sitter Jessica. She was not only accommodating but also incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed, and we needed to adjust the time frames for our pet's care. Jessica and her husband's professionalism and flexibility made a significant difference for us during a stressful travel situation. Their dedication to our pet's well-being was evident, and we felt confident in her care. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jessica to others in need of pet-sitting services. Her commitment to her clients and their furry friends is truly commendable. Thank you both, for making our trip worry-free!”
“Denise and her family were great in takng care of our cat Shelby. She answered all our questions before dropping her off and expressed totally understanding of Shelby special needs requirements. This was our first time using the Rover service and Denise and family made it a very enjoyable first experience. Would definitely book with her again if needing someone to watch Shelby again!”
“Repeat pet sitter. Awesome again. Sent pictures multiple times. I knew how well taken minkie was. And there was a window for her to watch birds. She went above and beyond: cutting the cat nails, which minkie never let's me do and getting. Will Continue to pick Robin as a pet sitter, she is the best.”
“Our dog Buddy is always well taken care of with Leslie. She has done everything we’ve asked for while taking care of him. He loves being in her yard and always comes home ready for a big nap.”
“Thomas takes the best photos of dogs, which are super fun to recieve when you miss your dog most. If you have a friendly dog they are going to love having constant playmates, human and canine attention. He did not bat an eye when I asked him to brush my dog's teeth and even provided photo evidence that he was doing it.”

I have experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience for every animal I care for. I currently work from home, so I spend a lot of time with our dog, Emmy, fiancé and our baby.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklawn
We have a senior dog that is usually watched by a pet sitter at our house, but we had to find other arrangements for our family vacation. They took great care of Minnie and sent several pictures to show me how she was doing which gave me peace of mind. I am very thankful for the care that showed our girl.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Oaklawn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oaklawn home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oaklawn.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oaklawn. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
You and your Oaklawn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
