“Excellent service. My dog was well taken care of, happy, fully exercised, and in great hands. Rebecca is quick to respond and an effective communicator. It is a relief to know that I never have to worry about my dog getting excellent treatment and care. Rebecca is great to work with and will use again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Brooke through Rover. She was incredibly responsive and even accommodated a same-day booking, which was a huge help. She bonded quickly with my dogs and made us feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and clear communication stood out from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and haven’t looked back! We currently have two dogs, 7 & 1, Shiloh and Shepherd. I raised a puppy with my sister and most recently Shepherd who is a retriever/poodle mix. I am currently building a small business but it is very flexible. I can be available every day at any hour and would love overnights, weekends and longer term stays! I will treat them as my own. We will spend a lot of time together. I love taking walks and having a furry friend with me. I want them to feel as safe and secure with you gone as possible. I will provide daily photo and text updates so you can see what fun we've been having. I will bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water plants as well.
“I have been so lucky to book Honey for multiple occasions the last two weeks. I could not be happier with how she has treated Mr. Snowflake. Super kind and attentive. Responds quickly. Incredibly flexible with times. My dog already loves her and she plays with our cat when she stops in too! I was super hesitant about booking walks on Rover but Honey has not only put my mind at ease but Snowflake is much less stressed every day he sees her. I can not recommend Honey enough.”
About: To me, pet sitting isn't just a job—it’s about providing a safe, loving home away from home where your animals feel completely cherished. I have 10 years of deep experience caring for all kinds of unique pets, from small hamsters, rabbits, and jumping spiders, to large breeds like Cane Corsos and German Shepherds. I am entirely comfortable and confident managing big dogs, understanding their strength, and giving them the gentle, structured guidance they need. Whether your fur baby needs a long walk, a specialized routine, or just extra patience and cuddles, I treat every single animal with the same love, respect, and devotion I would show my own I work part-time in security and get to choose my own schedule. Because my days are so flexible, I’m entirely available for any special requirements or extra care your pet might need I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for animals. I have personal experience caring for a wide variety of pets—from traditional cats and dogs to small animals like rabbits and hamsters—meaning I understand how to respect their individual boundaries, handle specific enclosure requirements, and ensure a secure, hazard-free space.
About: Hi! I’m a local mom living on a mini farm in Goodlettsville with my husband, son, two dogs, and ten chickens. Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we spend most of our days outside exploring, playing, and staying active. My son absolutely loves animals and is a wonderful little helper. He accompanies me about 90% of the time, so if your dog or cat prefers a child-free environment or isn’t comfortable around kids, please let me know and we can discuss whether we’re a good fit. We love getting out and doing fun activities, whether that’s neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, walking to coffee, or even taking your pup on an adventure to a dog park (with your permission, of course!). If your pet prefers a slower pace, we’re equally happy to provide snuggles, backyard or indoor playtime, and companionship at home. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your dog or cat like one of our own—with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates while you’re away. We have a sweet newborn baby so I’m home 24/7 to be with your pup giving treats and snuggles and making sure all their needs are met. We have a fenced in front yard waiting for your pup to explore! We also have two friendly dogs for your pup to play with!
About: Hi there! My name is Hayley, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’m a full-time mom and dog lover, and I share my home with my own four pups — so your dog will always feel like part of the family here. Dogs in my care are treated just like my own: loved, spoiled, and given plenty of play, structure, and comfort. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind, whether it’s just for the day or for a longer trip. My goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible for both you and your dog. You’ll always receive daily updates with 3–5 photos, and I’m happy to share how their day is going so you feel completely at ease. Services I Provide in my home: 🐾 Boarding (Overnight Stays): • Cozy, family-style environment with space to play and rest. • Dogs are not left alone for long stretches — they’re part of the daily routine with me and my family. • I welcome 6–10 dogs per day, which means plenty of playmates, but I carefully manage group sizes for safety and comfort. • Nights are flexible: dogs may sleep in crates (if that’s their routine), on a dog bed, or snuggled up wherever they’re most comfortable. Free-roaming spaces are limited due to safety and health but available! 🐾 Daycare: • Drop your pup off for a fun-filled day of play, potty breaks, and rest. • Outdoor playtime in secure spaces, weather permitting, and indoor playtime with toys and friends. • Nap/Cool down breaks to ensure dogs don’t get overstimulated. 🐾 Dog Walks (Add-On Service for boarding as well): • For well-leash-trained dogs only. • Neighborhood stroll: $5/per day (boarding, extra fee) • Park adventure: $10/per day (boarding, extra fee) Services I provide in your home: 🐾 Drop-In Services: • Visits are 15-60 minutes, depending on individual needs • Photos + report card provided each visit • Prices vary based on number of pets and responsibilities 🐶 Dogs: potty breaks, feeding, play time (as needed) 🐱 Cats: feeding and litter box cleaning, play time if needed. ***Price varies depending on number of cats and litter boxes ***Cat drop-ins typically last 10-20 minutes unless discussed prior ***aggressive cats will result in care ending early and a cancellation fee Why Book With Me • I’m CPR/First Aid certified for pets. • Experienced with seniors, anxious pups, medication needs, and high-energy breeds. • Dogs get personalized care — no “one size fits all.” I follow their routines as closely as possible and adjust where necessary to provide the most comfort for your furry family member. • Lots of love, patience, and communication along the way. 🏠Crate Time Policy • Dogs are crated according to their normal routine at home, or if it is in the best interest of their safety and comfort. • No dog will be crated longer than 4–6 hours at a time, with the exception of overnight. Crate time may be used for: • Rest breaks after active play to avoid over stimulation • Meal times (to ensure each dog eats undisturbed) • Safety during transitions, pick-ups/drop-offs, or if weather prevents outdoor play • When I leave my home or at my discretion based on where the dog is most comfortable and safe. 🐕 Puppies, seniors, and dogs with special needs may have differing crate intervals to match their comfort and training level. 🐕Parents should provide a crate their dog is comfortable with (or one will be provided if discussed prior). Dogs should already be familiar with crating prior to their stay (unless discussed previously) 🐕Dogs showing extreme crate anxiety will be accommodated with alternative safe rest areas when possible. This will be based on my experience and assessment with the dog. I will discuss with the parents for full transparency before proceeding with any changes in care. ✨ Please note: Your dog’s health and safety is always my top priority. Every dog is unique and comes with individual needs. Based on my experience and ongoing assessment, I will create and follow the care plan that best supports your dog’s comfort, well-being, and happiness during their stay.
“Elizabeth saved the day and went above and beyond for us! My dog ended up needing special care and medication after we booked with her, and she loved on my girl and helped me out during a very busy work week. She is kind, patient and trustworthy and an asset for anyone needing assistance with their baby.”
About: I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles. Comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely while job searching, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, giving love, walks, and attention. I also have a gentle senior dog and fenced yard for safe socializing.
About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.
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.
“Shelby was incredibly thorough and professional while booking and during the walk. She sent a few photos and made sure that we knew that Nikita was well cared for. 100% would contact her again!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .

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.
