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.
“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: 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.
About: Hello! My name is Jess! All of my life I have had dogs. They have always been a part of me. I started working with animals when I was very young, volunteering for fostering, working at shelters, and working for rescue groups. I grew up in the country where we used to have a ton of animals! Dogs, cats, (even chickens and gunnies). I now live in a spacious house in nashville with my hisband, daughter, 2 rescue dogs and rescue cat. The past year, I have been fostering for a local rescue.

“Silvanna was so helpful and sweet in answering my questions as she was the first person I had booked through Rover for my pup. She was very communicative the entire time and sent pictures of both dogs during her time with them!”

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!

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 Old Hickory. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
