About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them in all stages of life. I love discovering their personalities and making them happy. Dogs are a part of the family and should be treated that way! I am a musician so my nomad life has not allowed me to personally have a pet, but my love for them hasn’t changed. My weekday schedule is generally very open and can be flexible. I follow directions very well, so I will care for the pets exactly as instructed. I’m very thorough and your pets safety and trust is my highest priority.
“Yvonne has been doing a great job walking our baby girl. She’s prompt, loves animals and communicates within minutes with pics and updates. She’s a lifesaver several days a week while we are at work. Recommend highly.”
“Stephanie was great to work with. She came to visit and meet my dog and me before the walk, which I really appreciated since that’s unpaid. She is cheerful, knowledgeable, and a good listener. And she took my dog on good long walk, which he really needed today.”
About: I have grown up around a minimum of 2 dogs my entire childhood. Currently my family owns 3 dogs, 2 of which I trained myself and am now able to take them on walks off-leash comfortably. I have experience with large and small dogs and am ready to handle any and all doggy daycare duties. Also have experience with senior dogs. I am a college student here in Nashville missing my dogs at home and would love to care for yours and make dog-parent life a little easter! I’m working part time at a music venue alongside a part time internship position with a radio station. This means I have more time than most during weekdays to check in on your pups or take them out for some exercise. I am comfortable caring for pets inside of your home and would make sure your individual instructions and care needs are met for your pet!
“Kayla is a trustworthy and reliable dog walker 😊 She always provides picture updates and lets me know how Theo does on his walks! She seems to really care about Theo, so I know he is in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: My girlfriend and I moved to Nashville 5 years ago and we are both huge pet lovers. She is working at the hospital and going to school while I sell real estate and satisfy my true passion of caring for animals by pet walking and pet sitting on the side. We currently have two dogs ourselves. A 7-year-old chocolate lab and 5-year-old pointer. I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with a golden retriever that lived to be 15 years old. My parents have a beagle that is the smartest dog I have known. One of my sisters has two pitbulls that are the biggest babies in the world. Hopefully with our love for dogs and my open schedule, we can help others by caring for there pets and working around there busy schedules. I am a real estate agent so my schedule is all over the place. The market is slow at the moment so I try to take as many drop in visist and dog walking visits as possible. I love being out and about so I don't mind working early mornings, late nights, or even weekend drop ins if needed. I have a secure apartment with access to a private, fenced in dog area. It typically gets minimal use. I’m familiar with logistical communication when accessing homes and highly respectful of others personal property. I can physically handle all dogs of any size and energy while remaining calm and safe, especially in public areas.
About: I take any size, any age. I own a doggie and i understand how things come up. If you have a puppy or an old puppy, a big one or small i'm here to be their best pal. I have been dog walking for many years, i have helped dog train too. My Biggest accomplishment is working with war dogs. I am from a military background, and when I was overseas I was trained to take care of dogs in extreme weather and extreme activities with extreme injuries. So i can handle it all. I love being around dogs because they don't talk (lol, nah they have their own language). I have owned many Dogs in my life and i have also trained Dogs for other people.
About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life, including a variety of farm animals. From Chihuahuas to Blue Heelers, kittens to senior cats, I’ve cared for animals at every stage—from energetic newborns to seasoned companions who require extra attention. I’ve had my fair share of training young pets and supporting older ones. For the first time in my life, I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so caring for the fur babies of friends and peers is always a joy! I have a fairly flexible schedule since I primarily work from home. With my contract position ending soon, I’ll have even more availability throughout July! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of space for running and playtime. I'm within walking distance of Bicentennial Park and a nearby dog park. Crates are also welcome if your pet needs one.
“Meghan did an Amazing job with Pico! She was so attentive, and always made sure to give me detailed updates daily. She was great at communication, and always kept me in the loop about even household things going on in the apartment. I would 100% rebook.”
About: If your pup loves belly rubs, long walks, goofy voices, and endless attention… we’re about to be best friends. I am all about making your dog feel safe and loved. I have always had a special bond with dogs, so you can rest assured your doggo is in good hands! I am currently a graduate student at Belmont University, but I only have classes Tuesday 2-3:45 and 5-7:15 as well as Thursday 2-3:45. Other than that, my schedule is very open and flexible! I am great at forming connections with dogs, and I am also very good at following directions. If there are any specific instructions or needs regarding your pup, that’s not a problem! I also have a car, so am able to come walk or take care of your dog, or even take them to a dog park.
About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages and breeds ever since I can remember, whether it’s friend’s and family’s pets or fostering from local shelters. I have experience handling a variety of health conditions, including administering medication such as insulin. I’ve also worked for The Farmer’s Dog, where I’ve learned so much about dog health, nutrition, behavior, and habits that have been so useful in both my personal and professional life. My schedule is very flexible! I mainly work from home, so your furry friend would rarely be left alone. I can time my work breaks accordingly with your pets’ potty breaks, and can even work from your home if needed. That said, I’m good with any day of the week! I don’t have any pets of my own, and my household consists of just my boyfriend (who is also an animal-lover!) and me. We have a fenced in yard and patio for your pup to run around and we enjoy going for walks as well. We even have a doggy door on our screened in porch! If your pet is house-trained, I have no problem with them sleeping anywhere in the house (including with me). However, if they’re still house-training or prefer the comfort of their cage, I’m happy to create a safe space for them to be temporarily crated.
About: Hi! I’m Haley and live in the Nations with my 12 year old mini springerdoodle, Lucy. I work from home as a full-time graphic designer, which allows for a flexible schedule throughout the day. As a life-long dog lover, I would love to help care for your dog! I work from home full time as a graphic designer and am able to take several breaks during the day for drop-in visits or dog walking. I have a senior dog and am very perceptive to her needs at any given time. I know when she’s ready for a long walk or when she prefers just a quick potty break. I enjoy playing with her as well as relaxing on the couch and will do the same for yours!
“Erika is amazing! Communicates well, sends pictures and updates, and cares for my dog the way I would want him treated! I never have to worry about my dog when she’s around and can finally take trips/work long days without stressing about my animal care. Definitely a good one!!”
About: I grew up with dogs which made me want one of my own! I live in a small apartment right now, so in the meantime,I would love to watch yours! I work remote everyday but Thursdays so am free most days to let your dog out or go for a walk! Helps me get outside! I live alone but would love a dog of my own! so for now I love pet sitting :) I’ve stayed at a few dogs houses or had pets stay in mine!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a little extra TLC. For example, I grew up with a dog for almost 20 years and helped manage his arthritis as he got older. What sets me apart is my patient, attentive approach and my respect for each pet’s unique needs. I have experience administering oral medications (especially for seniors with multiple chronic conditions) and maintaining consistent routines for pets while their humans are away. I also have experience caring for multiple pets within a home. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and at home in my care! I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and make it a priority. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the week, including early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m committed to being reliable and communicative so pet parents always feel at ease! While caring for pets in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from feeding schedules and medication to behavioral quirks and preferred toys. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things clean, calm, and consistent, leaving everything better than when I found it. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsecured areas. I communicate clearly and frequently with pet parents, sending updates and photos so they feel confident and connected while away. Creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment is at the heart of how I care.

“Elizabeth is a great pet sitter and the only person I would trust with our dog. Our little Yorkie is 13, blind and was recovering from a tramatic surgery when we were about to cancel a non refundable vacation. Elizabeth stepped in to save the day and help us out so we could go and have a worry free vacation. She administered medicine and wound care to our Yorkie and provided me with daily updates so I knew she was ok.”

Sylvan Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Oh my gosh Leslie was AMAZING! She was able to walk my pup last minute and kept me updated every step of the way! So sweet and a fast responder, she sent a ton of photos! Even my cat, who is usually a little shy, came out to greet her! Will absolutely be using her again!!
Really happy to have been able to book Gabe. He was super sensitive to my senior boys, made adjustments when they didn’t want to do what I’d planned. Gabe prioritized what he knew was most important which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely call him again.
Erika is amazing! Communicates well, sends pictures and updates, and cares for my dog the way I would want him treated! I never have to worry about my dog when she’s around and can finally take trips/work long days without stressing about my animal care. Definitely a good one!!
Literally my favorite dog walker on this app. No lie. She sent so many photos and really cared for my dog! She seriously went above and beyond. I’m so grateful. I will be recommending her on my apartment building community app. I’m telling you- HIRE SYDNEY. You will not regret it!!
Jadyn was awesome! She took great care of our 5 month old puppy by walking him with her dog, letting them play, & feeding him. She picked up after him and communicated really well with us. She met with us prior to the first walk so her dog could meet ours to see how they interact which was much appreciated. We trust her & will definitely hire her again!
