“Again, excellent/ superb service. Niki has taken care of my dogs a couple of times and I could have not met a better sitter. She is top notch; always on top of everything and updating you with pics/ reviews. I can see my dogs feel at ease with her and love her and her daughter. I highly recommend her services, and I will continue entrusting her with my pups”

“Highly recommend, I’ve already re-booked! Laura is great with my anxious dog. Clear communication that makes it clear she really cares & spends the drop-in visit interacting with my dog.”

“Amy took such great care of our senior cat! She handled his medication injections well and clearly cared about his well being, I felt so comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone - we will definitely book again!!”

“Kavya was very responsive when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute for the Christmas Holiday. She came over to meet the kitties the same day I messaged her, and the kitties were immediately at ease with her. She took great care of them and I got photos while I was away. As a veterinarian, I am very choosy about who watches my pets. I would absolutely have Kavya watch my kitties again and also have her watch my dogs in the future too.”

“Ellen is my go-to Rover whenever I have to go out of town. My kitties love her and she always takes the time and effort to capture many great photos and leaves a thorough visit summary. Highly recommend!”

“Athena was incredibly helpful, kind, understanding, and patient with a difficult situation when my mom was in the hospital and she stepped in at the last minute to help with her dog. I would highly recommend her for anyone. She went above and beyond navigating difficult situations.”

“Macy was absolutely amazing with Arlo during her check-in visits at my home! Arlo can be very timid, shy, and nervous with new people, and Macy handled him with so much patience. It meant a lot to see him warm up and let his sweet, fun personality shine through. She was always prompt for every check-in, incredibly responsive, and sent wonderful photos and detailed updates that gave me total peace of mind. Even with a busy weekend, I loved seeing each update come through and knowing Arlo was comfortable and well cared for in his own space. Macy truly made my first Rover experience such a positive one, and I would absolutely love to keep her as Arlo’s sitter for future needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate sitter. 🐾💛”

About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.
“Scout was amazing!!! A true dog lover and took such good care of our high energy pup🥰 We were gone for a good while and Scout was super consistent and communicative the whole way. I’d definitely book with them again!❤️”

“Toland was great with my nervous dog! She was very easy to communicate with and did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and I were comfortable. My dog immediately took to her. She followed my directions and took wonderful care of my pup while I was at work. Thanks again, Toland :)”

“Isabel was punctual and communicative before, during, and after her drop in visit with our two dogs. It was evident that they received excellent care. She’s a delight to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up and ever since moving away from home, I’m missing that puppy love!! I’m well experienced in dog sitting (including walking, feeding, and bathing dogs) for friends, family, and neighbors :) I’m currently working a hybrid job full time so while I occasionally go into the office, I also work from home some days and have my evenings free. I love going on walks and try to go on one every day so dog walking would fit in perfectly to my lifestyle! I will ensure a safe environment for your dog whether that be at my home or yours. I feel grateful that others trust me with their pets and I guarantee you can trust me as well!
“Brian is very reliable and took the time to get to know all the details about my dogs at our meet and greet. He is patient even with my high energy pup. His responsiveness is great as well! High recommend booking him 😊”

“Jill was absolutely amazing! She met Brisco on a quick turnaround and she kept him super at ease. He warmed up to her really fast and I was able to enjoy vacation knowing our fur baby was well-taken care of while we were away.”

About: I’m currently in professional school, looking to spend time with some fur babies, get to know Nashville, and make a little extra money for school. With 16+ years of personal pet care experience, I have the knowledge of what it takes to properly live and care for your pets while you are away. I have had both large and small animals and currently have a 5 pound Yorkiepoo in the home and trust that I can take care of any breed. My evenings are the most free so I would be happy to take care of any evening routines and walks when needed. My weekends are typically very free to where I can do plenty of walks and drop ins. I currently don’t have any pets in my home, but in your home I will make sure that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I will follow all guidelines
“Rosanna was awesome and very sweet to my dog and cat. She provided pictures and updates and was on time for check-in visits. I would recommend her and will definitely hire her again.”

Whitney is the best! She took such great care of my pup while I was out of town. My dog has some skin and allergy issues, and Whitney didn’t hesitate to help manage them and keep everything under control while I was gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!

Ian was an amazing pet sitter for my dog and cat! He came by several times throughout the week and provided thorough notes and photos of his visits. His attention to detail and love on my pets was a huge relief since I don’t usually have new people come by the house. Also, Ian’s communication was fast and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their pets!

Piper was amazing with my nala! She sat with her and cuddled with her all the time. She cleaned her food/water bowls and also her litter box! In addition to this she tidied up my living room and vacuumed the upstairs without me asking! Definitely recommend her for your next trip!

Kameron did an absolutely stellar job taking care of my cat Mustard for four days while I was out of town. She kept me updated every single day with thoughtful texts and photos, so I never felt out of the loop. She not only fed Mustard but stayed with her for an hour or two each day, which really gave me peace of mind that she was in good company. Plus, she made sure my apartment was perfectly taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more reassuring experience. I highly recommend her!

Toland was great with my nervous dog! She was very easy to communicate with and did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and I were comfortable. My dog immediately took to her. She followed my directions and took wonderful care of my pup while I was at work. Thanks again, Toland :)

Maddie was an excellent sitter for my cat. I would definitely book with her again. She is very thoughtful and communicative, and I was never worried about my cat while he was in her care. She also stepped in, day of, after I had a cancellation last minute, which I’m super appreciative of!

This is the second time Maggie has taken care of our cats & she did an amazing job! Not only did she remember our cats, their personalities, & their needs from the prior visit but successfully adjusted to new routines we’d requested. She provided an update with pictures of each visit, which made us completely relax knowing our furbabies were not only in good hands — but having fun! She even replenished the bird bath with water & spread bird seed outside for our cats to watch from inside for entertainment haha. I’ll definitely hire her again & cannot recommend her enough!
