About: Hi, I’m Jazzy! I grew up on a ranch and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and livestock. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. As a long-time business owner, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are when someone is caring for a beloved family member. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, following specialized feeding schedules, and supporting pets who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, or attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a consistent companion nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for in their own environment. Before each booking, I’d love to know about any medications, dietary restrictions, health concerns, routines, training cues, fears, or special preferences that help your pet feel safe and happy. Every animal is different, and I believe the best care comes from understanding what makes them unique. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I maintain a flexible schedule, work from home therefore I am able to accommodate many pet care needs. I work around your pets routine, personality, and comfort level! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I offer reliable care, a calm environment, and thoughtful attention tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

About: I've been watching my sisters and neighbors pup for 5 years, which helped me learn how to take care of dogs no matter the age nor size. I'm also quick to adapt to whatever routine your furry friends require and adore them with the love they need. I'm currently working part time with low weekly hours so I can easily adapt your needed schedule into mines. I can also check on them anytime during the weekends if called for. One way I can make sure the feel safe and trusted is sticking to there schedule as close as possible, making sure they are feed on time, making sure they have fresh water, providing exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'll also make sure to keep owners updated with photos and inform them with messages.

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, walks, and boarding in my home. I currently travel all throughout Nashville and surrounding areas providing wound care to patients, so my schedule is extremely flexible and there’s a good chance I’m already in your area often. My nursing background has made me very dependable, attentive, patient, and comfortable handling routines, medications, senior pets, puppies, and anxious dogs. I’m also a dog mom myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and yes, I will absolutely send you a million pictures and updates because I love getting them of my own dogs too. <3 I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week since I work as a registered nurse traveling throughout Nashville and surrounding areas providing wound care to patients in their homes. Because I’m already driving all over the city daily, I’m often able to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and check-ins in many different areas. I’m available for boarding in my home as well and will always make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, love, and updates throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two friendly dogs of my own and a fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a nurse, I’m very attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat them like family and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way because I know how much that means as a pet parent.
“Hailey was extremely helpful and was able to do a pretty last minute set of drop in visits for us. She took great care of our elderly Great Dane, Ellie. We would definitely book her again!”
“Second time booking with Ashlie. She checks in on the girls and takes them on walks which they seems tired tired from. Exactly what we want! She checks in and asks questions about changes in the dogs temperament and goes the extra mile to wipe their feet from the rain! Thank you!”

Old Hickory dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brian was amazing! He gave our old Bulldog and our old cat lots of love and attention during his visits. He sent us photos every day showing how well our pets were taken care of. Every detail of care was taken care of; he treated our pets like they were his own.

Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!

Sarah is awesome! I highly recommend her. She loved on my dogs so well and played with them non stop. One of my dogs can be difficult and Sarah was able to read him really well and handled him like the professional she is. My dogs love Sarah and i will definitely book with her again.
Shelby is awesome! Nala isnt very easy to come around with new people but she warmed up to Shelby, and I think she loves her. I got updates and great photos while I was away, and my fur baby got lots of love and care from Shelby. Gonna be a repeat client for sure if both schedules work out. Thanks Shelby!
