First time using Rover. Christina was very kind, always on time and took great care of our two cats while we were away. Communication was excellent! We loved getting pictures of our kitties each day. Everything went perfectly in my opinion and we”ll definitely reach out to her again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you again Christina!

Erin was amazing to hire for our two cats. I know they were happy and well cared for! As for going the extra mile; there was a wind storm while we were gone, some things blew all over the yard. Erin was kind enough to pick up, so we didn't lose our kid's toys. Will definitely use her again when needed!

About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.

Teresa was an amazing sitter for our cat Barry while we were away for the holidays. She went above and beyond during her drop-in visits. She even replaced a smoke detector battery!! She arrived as expected each day, stayed at or past the expected visit time, and left our home and pet in wonderful condition. My cat was well-fed, cleaned up after (litterbox and a vase he broke!) and doted on as if he was her own pet. We felt truly at ease while we were away! My cat did not seek his revenge upon his family at our return, always a sign that my cat was VERY HAPPY. We will be DEFINITELY be booking Teresa again for future cat visits and dog-boarding. Thank you Teresa!!

Darlene was fantastic! She messaged me every time she was heading to my house for drop in visits and arrived at the exact time I requested. She sent me pictures each time she left and took great care of my boy. I will definitely use her again in the future!

Hope did a fantastic job caring for and entertaining Barron while I was on a work trip. In addition, she made using the Rover app to extend the visits super easy for a first time user. Anyone in her area is very lucky to have such a wonderful resource for his or her furry friends!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

I really can’t say enough about Katherine! We’re really careful with our bunny, Basil, and Katherine always takes such good care of her. We can tell Basil really loves her and feels safe with her, and Katherine has always been so kind, trustworthy, and dependable! If you book with her you’ll have peace of mind. We’re grateful for her!

Kayla is great. We had a last minute change in our schedule and she was able to pop in to play with the puppies taking a lot of stress off us for the day. She is so good with our babies!!

Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.

About: Grew up with a dog all my life always believed they were man’s best friend. I’ve worked in a lot of homes and never had a bad experience with their dogs and I can always find where they love to be scratched I’m currently working full time as a high rise window cleaner in Nashville, but I’m looking for a positive side hustle and dogs love bringing positivity During walks I stay alert and looking for possible dangers i always try to look for big open fields; And during drop ins instructions are king of course respecting the home and safe play of course.

About: I've had dogs most my life until I met my wife and she converted me to a cat person. I have helped neighbors and friends take care of their fur babies for years. I have ample experience in taking care of elderly dogs and cats. I'm not afraid of messes, and pretty great at cleaning accidents when needed. Promo https://www.rover.com/sit/seano64985 I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will try to work you in however I can. With great communication and scheduling anything can be possible I enjoy the companionship of animals. I like to play and pet them to build a good bond. I enjoy going out into nature, so walks are an extra bonus to me

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.

Amber looked after our critters while we were gone for the week and took great care of them. She was very attentive when our cat got an upset stomach while we were away and cuddled with our little dog who was anxious during a storm. She was great about keeping us updated every time she checked on them. Highly recommend Amber to watch after your pets!

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for my own dogs, as well as family, friends, and neighbors’ pets, and I truly love making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old Black Lab, Raven, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. Your pup will have a built in buddy for playtime and companionship! I have a spacious home with a basement that is comfortably set up for dogs, and I’m happy to welcome pups onto the furniture because I believe dogs deserve to feel at home (my couch has washable covers). My backyard is partially fenced, and I’m also close to a beautiful Greenway where I love taking dogs for walks and adventures. I also live 3 minutes from Rovers dog park! I understand every dog has their own personality and needs. I have the space and ability to give dogs their own areas or separate them when needed, so every pup can feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during their stay. I also have a membership at Urban Dog Bar in Nashville and love giving dogs fun experiences beyond just sitting at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes your dog happiest. Your pup will be treated like family here with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs included! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m home most weekends and work remotely every Monday and Friday, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work from the office, but I have a consistent routine. I make sure dogs get outside in the morning before I leave, as soon as I’m home, and again before bedtime. I’m also able to provide a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax while I’m away. My backyard is fenced in on three sides and is a decent size for dogs to enjoy. I do let my own dog roam freely, but I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable or safe doing that. I have a running cable available if needed, and I’m also happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. I also have a basement that is separated into two spaces with dog gates, a large dog kennel if needed, and an upstairs area that can be separated with another doggy gate to help create a safe and comfortable space. From one dog mom to another, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in a safe environment with a trusted human. I want every dog in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.

About: Hi, I’m Irali! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away from your pets, and my goal is to provide that by treating every dog or cat like they’re my own. I have experience with pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a detailed routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details, and I love building trust not only with pets but also with their families. You can count on me to provide updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to focus on pet care. After work, I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing, and giving them the attention they need. On weekends, I’m fully available for drop-ins, longer visits. Pet care is a big part of my lifestyle, I make sure to plan my schedule so pets always feel prioritized, safe, and loved. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy in their usual routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel secure while their family is away.
