“Meredith was absolutely wonderful! Went above and beyond to make sure my dog was as comfortable as could be! Communication was top notch! I absolutely look forward to using her services again! I’m so very thankful that she was able to watch my dog on such a short notice! If you want your pet to be treated like family, look no further! Worth every penny!”
“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.”
“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: My family has had dogs since I was very young, and I have had my own dog for 3 years now. She is a rescue, and I have had her since she was 6 months old. I work full-time in a bakery and am off most days around 1-3pm. I do have some free mornings as well and would be able to drop by with notice. I live close to East Nashville with my dog, Millie, and cat, Spoon! I live by all the good walking trails. I would love to schedule some dog-walking nearby so that i can take full advantage of all the great weather we are having.
About: Hello! I would love to take care of your dog while you are away! We now have a sweet cavapoo so your dog needs to be friendly to other dogs. I am home all the time so your dog will receive plenty of love and attention. In order to provide individualized attention I will only house sit one dog at a time. I can take your dog for walks or they can stay home, whatever you prefer. Your dog will be treated like family in my home. My family always had small dogs so I will only house sit little guys that are good and gentle to children and our puppy. We have had experience with senior dogs and dogs that required medication. I will just need detailed instructions on how to better care for them. I look forward meeting you and your sweet little pet. We are usually home all the time. My husband works from home, so someone will be with your dog at all times except rare exceptions. We have a fenced yard and your dog will always be supervised. We also put gates on the front porch when a dog is visiting to avoid runaways. We have a friendly small Cavapoo so your dogs needs to get along with other dogs.
About: Previously, I worked as a Veterinary Pathology Technician. This position allowed me to pay attention to certain changes in ability and health. I have experience in dog/cat boarding, administering pet meds, bathing small/large dogs , and clipping nails. I am able to provide meals 3 times per day. I am available on the afternoons of weekdays, weekends, and holidays to provide loving care. I allow a sense of freedom and opportunity to roam around the area of the home or play while continuously making sure your pet is safe.
About: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I am open for drop-in visits, walks or hosting at my place on the lake. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 6 yr old boxer, a rescue Beagle who is somewhere between 12-16 yrs old, and a little white Maltese who is about 7. They really are the sweetest dogs and they get along with each other so well. They do great with people and other animals. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!
“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!”
“Riley and Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby while I was away. They communicated thoroughly and were flexible if I needed any modification to the plan. I will def use them again.”
“Adazia walked in and our dog jumped on her lap And bonded immediately! This just doesn’t happen normally! Needless to say Adazia was a rockstar with our baby and took her on a great walk. Looking forward to using her regularly in the future. Very responsive and has a way with animals.”
“Torey was fantastic! My wife and I were very anxious to leave our dog home for a two-week trip he couldn't join, but Torey put us right at ease with two meet-and-greets and plenty of updates and pictures. She was also very reachable through the app, which helped us feel comfortable being away. And she even watered our plants for us! Our dog and home were in great condition when we got back, and we're so grateful to Torey for making this as easy as possible for us. We definitely recommend her and will be reaching out next time we need a Rover!”
“I was hesitant about leaving my dog for multiple days but Ashlie did a great job of working with my schedule for him every day and he loves seeing her. She is very communicative and stays on top of things.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley... we were in town on vacation and she took care of our little dogs perfectly! She was caring, timely, trustworthy and the dogs enjoyed her visits and being walked in our absence..... highly recommend and will reach out to her again next time we're in Nashville! Thx again Ashley!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was little, but have offered services to other folks and their pets since I’ve been able to drive. I’m the owner of two dogs myself and I’m very familiar with breeds like chihuahuas, pit bulls, and coonhounds. I have cared for dogs of all ages and degrees of care (medicine, specific diets). I work for myself at a salon, so I have complete freedom of my schedule. This allows me to have more flexibility with clients during the day and on weekends/holidays. I think all animals thrive more in their own environments, which is why I don’t offer services in my own home. My dogs have their own boundaries that I want to respect.. I will take the time to get to know your animal and gain their trust in order to provide the best care for them while you’re away.
About: I have loved and owned a variety of dogs at all ages since I was a child. I currently have one dog. He is a well-rounded pup, playful with energetic friends and gentle with younger/older friends. We have a fenced-in backyard and a large comfy couch! I have a fenced in back yard and a playful pup of my own to keep your pup(s) company! I can also crate if you like. I am currently a full time teacher with open weekends and nights until the summer. In the summer I am fully dedicated to my Rover clients! I have a small fenced in backyard and can, and prefer, to crate in case I can not directly supervise all dog play and feedings.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. 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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
