“Isabel is communicative, on time, and kind with my somewhat anxious dog! She is flexible and willing to work with my time needs and schedule. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for the last 9 years and have experience cat sitting. I love being outdoors and am looking forward to having a pet companion! I work full time 3 days a week so I am completely available the other 4 days of the week. The days that I am available vary based on the week. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a neighborhood with plenty of places to dog walk. I have experience walking dogs on trails and around other dogs.
“Katherine has been great with my dog! My dog has quite a bit of anxiety, and she has been patient and understanding while helping my dog gain more confidence. I appreciate how kind she has been with Lex!”

“Riley is a terrific dog walker--alert, kind to our dog, as energetic as our dog wants to be. She is familiar with different breeds and different sized dogs, and was very comfortable w our Shepherd mix.”

About: Since I was a child, I’ve been around many different kinds of pets. I grew up with great danes in the house, as well as multiple cats and other small rodents. Now my family owns a very happy doodle named Griffon. I grew up watching my family’s dogs as well as other dogs and cats in my neighborhood. Currently I live in Nashville with my 6 year old beagle named Emmy. I love all kinds of animals and would love to meet your furbaby! I’m currently taking care of the home full time so I can be as attentive as needed with your pet! I normally walk Emmy three times a day, making sure at least one walk is a long walk through a park so she gets a lot of good smells and mental stimulation. Since I live in an apartment downtown, I try to take my dog out as much as possible so she doesn’t feel like she’s stuck inside all day. For this reason I don’t do overnight stays at my apartment, but I would be more than willing to house sit for someone’s animal. I always make sure the pet in the home is adequately taken care of to their energy level, I used to take my families dog on runs with me if he seemed bored.
“Gabe was available last minute. Our sweet dog JB was excited to meet him and go on a walk. Gabe did a nice job giving JB some much needed exercise. For a first time, last minute meeting, everything went well.”


About: I have watched puppies and kittens all the way up to senior pups! I love spending time with the animals to make sure they’re comfortable while their humans are gone. I do work full time until 5 Monday - Friday, 2 days in office. I can do drop ins/ walks in the AM, during my lunch breaks, or in the afternoon/evening. I am also free weekends to help out with your pups or cats! I will be there for the dogs or cats however is best for them! I take my time and make sure the animal and I can be comfortable with each other.
“We got to meet Anna and Wilder in advance and they were both very tolerant of some bounciness on Lilly’s part. Anna was very good in communicating about when she would be coming by, and she was persistent in getting Lilly to walk on a leash (when Lilly would’ve liked to have just run around in the yard).”

About: Hi, my name is Sophia! I’m a proud owner of a 11 year old Jack Russel/Staffy mix named Liam! He’s typically shy with other dogs at first but opens up after a good few sniffs. I also have two cats named Emilio and Antonio. They want to be friends with Liam so badly but he hilariously ignores their affections. I have enjoyed working with animals most of my life and I’m experienced with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and snakes. Having worked at a veterinary clinic all through high school, I then volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout college. I absolutely adore all animals and all the much needed love they bring. I can’t wait to meet yours! I work two part-time jobs as well as gigging in the music scene. My schedule is either super open or sometimes less so! That being said, my family has moved to town so I will always be around for the holidays. My dog has separation anxiety so at-home stays can be tough but not impossible as I also have a lovely roommate he adores. My cats are good with dogs as well! I’m very experienced with drop-in visits and overnight stays. I follow instructions well and can easily cater to the needs of your pup or pups.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all size and kind for over 10 years. My own miniature dachshund and frenchie, as well as my family and friend’s pets who I care for as my own. I bell trained my dachshund to go potty outside and am well equipped to handle any reactive behavior. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule to play and walk dogs! I work around my meeting schedule so will vary by the week! I respect everyone’s home and will ensure your fur baby is love and cared for during visits! As a passionate rover sitter, I understand how special our animals are to us, so it’s very important for me to be attentive and make sure they are behaving normally and feel comfortable!
About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life. From chihuahuas, to golden retrievers, to rescues I have had experience with a myriad of different dog breeds and personalities! On top of caring for, walking, and playing with the dogs my family owned, one of my earliest jobs was dog-sitting neighborhood dogs when their families were out of town. You can count on me to provide the same high quality care to your dogs that I would provide to my own. I am a current medical student in Nashville. As a result, most of my availability will fall on the weekends! My availability on Fridays would start around 6:30 pm and I can go to any time on Sunday. I will always respect your house rules and items when caring for your pets at your home. I will also respect and reinforce the way in which you have trained your pets (crate training, meal times, etc). I will always care for your pet to a high level of detail, making sure they have sufficient walks, making sure to clean up any mess they make, and making sure all of their needs are met!
About: I have a senior cat that I have taken care of for the last eight years and I care for many of the dogs in my apartment complex. I have been doing wag and river now for over 4 years. I love animals and have always grown up around all kinds of animals including hamsters, horses, cats, and dogs. It would be an honor to care for your babies! I work from home in Wedgewood-Houston so I have plenty of time to walk and check on or hang out with animals during my flexible schedule. Currently, dog sitting is my only job so I have ample time to check in and play with your babies! I have a car so distance is not a concern. I can walk or check in on animals or pet-sit at your home. I am flexible with my services so just let me know what you need and expect!
About: Hi there! I am a lifelong pet owner with experience with all animals and ages and sizes. I currently have a wonderful, two-year-old golden retriever who loves all other animals. I also have experience with special-needs, sick or end-of-life stages and can administer medicine and other treatments. I am extremely reliable and reachable at all times of the day. I look forward to serving you and your pets! I work remotely and can help at all times of the day and week. I can also work on short notice if something comes up. I can care for pets in all living arrangements and depending on the individual pets needs as well as the owners. We can come up with individual plans to best fit your pet.
About: Hi there! My names Kelly and I would love to take care of your pets! I’ve been taking care of my own for more than 10 years and have raised a number of different types of animals from squirrels all the way to cats! Like everyone else on here, I love animals so much, and would make it my priority to make sure your animal is well taken care of! I’ll make sure your pet gets exercise along with some TLC while you’re away! I would love to take care of your pet and would treat them like my own! I currently work a full-time job, but it’s remote so im available really any time of day I live right next to a dog park and have plenty of area to walk your pet around! There's even a greenway nearby for longer routes. I currently work a full time job during the day, but it is remote, which means I can provide constant care to your pet! I’m also available most weekends! I have plenty of walkways near my apartment for us to walk around! When i’m staying at your home, I make sure the pet gets plenty of exercise outside and inside. We will go on nice king walks, play games etc!

About: Grew up with a full house of pets… and I mean full. Three dogs (a doodle mix and two pitbulls) and three cats. I've handled feeding, walks, and full sitting duty for all of them, so I'm no stranger to a chaotic multi-pet household. Beyond my own family's pets, I've dog sat regularly for friends, family, and neighbors, so I'm used to adapting to different pets, routines, and homes, not just the ones I grew up with. I'm especially comfortable with big, strong dogs… pitbulls included. I'm not intimidated by size or energy. Whether your pup needs a calm walker or someone who can keep up with their enthusiasm, I've got you. Cats welcome too! I know they run the house differently than dogs do, and I respect that. And if you've got chickens, I actually know my way around a coop. Based in Nashville, and my schedule works well for pet care — my job is mostly remote, and I only go into the office two half-days a week (with flexibility on which days). That means I'm around and available most of the time. I treat every pet like it's one of my own family's, because that's exactly how I grew up around them. Reach out and let's chat about what your pet needs! My job is mainly remote, so pet care fits easily into my day — I'm home most of the time. I go into the office two half-days a week, and I get to pick which days, so I can plan around your pet's routine instead of the other way around. Available weekends as well! I care for pets in their own home so they stay in a familiar, comfortable environment instead of being uprooted. I follow their normal routine: feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I'm attentive to details like locking doors, keeping food/water fresh, and sticking to their usual rules.
About: Growing up I always wanted a dog, so in college I took it upon myself to work at an animal hospital. Not only did I get to play and cuddle with them, but I also learned valuable skills like medication administration. I’m currently working a hybrid role with 2-3 days from home throughout the week, and in addition to the weekends, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I live with one well trained dog who loves making furry friends. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, or welcoming them into mine as their home away from home!

About: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Experienced caregiver for senior dogs, skilled in medication management and addressing potty needs. Proficient in puppy training techniques and ensuring enjoyable walks! Care for all! I’m available every day of the week! Mornings, lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM are always open for me. I’m happy to work around your schedule as well if you have a specific time in mind. I'm committed to delivering top-notch, personalized pet care in clients' homes, offering walks, indoor playtime, and thorough cleanup for a harmonious and tidy living space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southside
Mia is the best! Evie is very shy around most new people. Mia had only walked her once before, but for the first time ever, Evie RAN up to someone other than me or family. She was so excited to see her, went with her without even looking back at me, and was a very happy, tired puppy when she got back. Cannot recommend Mia more - def book her!!!

Gabe is literally the best. Went out of his way to meet us ahead of time despite the booking being a bit last minute. Sent pics after every walk and was just super pleasant to work with. It was my first time hiring a dog walker and I was nervous but Gabe immediately made me feel at ease!! Thank you!!

Elizabeth rescued me as I needed a sitter last minute to attend an event in downtown Nashville. Unfortunately a few of my other sitters prior to booking with Elizabeth had something come up. She is reliable, caring, attentive, & went above and beyond for my Miko! I would definitely request her again when visiting Nashville ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and you should also!!!

Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finley! She is dependable, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Finley always comes home happy and well cared for, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands. Olivia is communicative, punctual, and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup gets great exercise and attention. We truly appreciate her professionalism and the care she puts into every visit. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
