“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our first time using Rover and Ryan alleviated a worry or stress we had! She went above and beyond for our pups and made it feel so comfortable, safe, and trustworthy. I couldn’t love + recommend Ryan enough!!”



“Above and beyond! Ashley was so kind to my baby! I am out of the country and my sitter had an emergency and wasn't able to make it to the house on schedule and I had to supplement help with Rover. She came to the rescue, super willing especially with a dog she had never gotten to meet. My dog had chosen violence on my apartment and she went through and saved all my things from further destruction. Soooo incredibly thankful for her willing heart. Hope you get tons of new clients because I can never express to you how much your kindness meant to me. Thank you so much!”

"Your pets receive the same devotion and professional attention that have earned the trust of Connecticut's most valued families—now available to Nashville's discerning pet owners." Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I’ve chosen to dedicate myself to pet sitting and animal care as my full-time profession because it aligns perfectly with my passion, values, and lifestyle. Caring for animals is not something I squeeze in between other commitments—it's my primary focus, and I’m available to provide consistent, reliable, and attentive care around the clock. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or overnight stays, I structure my entire schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This allows me to offer personalized attention and build meaningful, trusting relationships with each client and their animal companions. I approach every pet as if they were my own—offering not just basic care, but companionship, enrichment, and emotional support. My clients value that I am fully present and committed, and that I prioritize clear communication, punctuality, and proactive updates. Choosing to do this full time is a reflection of how seriously I take the responsibility of looking after someone’s beloved pet and home While I don’t take pets into my own home, I specialize in providing in-home care services such as overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, and potty breaks. My approach is grounded in experience, consistency, and compassion—I aim to create a calm, structured environment for every pet I care for, just as I do with my own animals. In my personal life, I make sure my pets receive daily exercise, enrichment, and a consistent feeding and walking schedule. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, address any medical issues promptly, and maintain regular vet check-ups to ensure their well-being. This level of commitment isn’t just something I do for my own animals—it’s the standard I bring to every client’s home. When I care for a client’s pets, I go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality—whether it’s managing medication, providing extra support for senior or anxious dogs, or ensuring plenty of exercise and play for high-energy pups. I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their physical safety, emotional well-being, and overall happiness.

About: Our pets are life’s silver linings, and I’ll treat them as such. I am an only child who grew up with pets constantly, and I love them all. I live in Nashville where there are many dogs and cats, and since I have a normal schedule with afternoons, I want to sit pets. My wife & I own a condo with two cats and a miniature golden doodle. My pet care includes walking, playing, feeding, and of course- photos!

About: Hey! I'm Jennifer and I'm twenty-one years old. I work part-time at Mutts Canine Cantina and dogsit often, so dogs are always my jobs now and I love it! I've grown up always having a dog or two in the home and currently have my own puppy, Honey she's a Border Collie/Aussie mix. I've been walking and sitting dogs as a job for over two years but casually sitting and walking for about 9 years. I love being able to work with dogs as a job and I am willing to travel long distances and for long periods of time if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pup in the future when I am able to walk or sit them. Thank you

About: Aside from raising my own dog for the last 5 1/2 years, i have grown up with dogs my entire life, big and small, and have helped many friends and family care for their pets over the years. I also have experience with cats as well- i have lived with and helped care for my roommates cats when they were away and would love to do the same for yours. I understand the uncertainty, and at times anxiety, that can come with leaving your sweet pets with a stranger for the first time, which is why i will do everything i can to ensure you feel the most comfortable when leaving your pet with me. I'm currently working a full time office job, with one day WFH a week that i typically take on Wed or Fri, but i can be flexible if needed if i am watching your dog during the week days. I have a dog walker that comes and lets my dog out on those days i am in the office, and she could easily let yours out on those days if needed too! I travel on occasions on the weekends, but i am am free to board most weekends! Overall i am flexible in general so please reach out with any questions/scenarios and i will try to make it work if i can! I live on the ground floor in a condo community with a backyard that is not fenced in, but i will always have your dogs on a leash when outside. I have one very sweet and friendly fur baby at home to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed, and will do anything necessary to give you peace of mind, always keeping your dogs safety my top priority. To help ensure a safe and positive experience, i ask that you please let me know if your dog has ever shown signs of aggression or unusual behavior. If aggression or dangerous behaviors occur and was not disclosed beforehand, i reserve the right to discontinue services immediately, and you may be held liable for any damages or inquires occurred.


About: I have had dogs all my life. While I do not have a dog right now, I have an almost 19 year old cat. I know how to take care animals and will take care of your pup or puppies like they are my own. Dogs typically love me and warm right up to me pretty quickly. I can generally read animals pretty well! Rely on me while you are away :) I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I am happy to try to work with your schedule to meet your needs :) I care for your pets with gentleness and awareness. I hope to make your pet feel loved and taken care of while you are away. I am great at following instructions and will do my best to make sure your animal is at ease. I am a great communicator. I will keep you up to date and provide photos to put your mind at ease. I understand how difficult it is to be away from your pet!

About: I grew up with 1 boxer-lab mix and two boxer-pit mixes, whom I had to take care of and walk (all at once) every day. My family loves big dogs, so I learned to handle multiple big dogs since I was a young child. I currently work part-time and do online college courses. The flexibility that comes with pet care will make my routine much easier to handle, and I'm willing to put forth a lot of time into this. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention, watching over them, walking and feeding them when needed, and give them the love that they crave.
