About: I’ve worked with a range of animals from puppies and kitties to seniors. I understand each animal is unique in its needs and routines, and will strive to give your pet the best care possible. PLEASE NOTE: I may not be available for day-of bookings. I currently work a 8am-5pm Monday through Friday, and would be available in the mornings before work, during lunch (can occur between 11:30am-1:30pm) and after work (most days). I am in town and free most weekends. I’d love to chat and see what works best for your pet. I am comfortable with taking out your pet for walks, bathroom breaks and cuddles. I can feed them on their schedule, I am comfortable with crates, and I am familiar with administering pills / flea medicine.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I grew up with my sweet Shih Tzu and currently share a home with my roommate’s 3-year-old Goldendoodle, so I’m very familiar with the joy, energy, and companionship dogs bring into our lives. While I am newer to professional pet care, I have years of experience loving and caring for dogs as part of my everyday life. I am dependable, gentle, and excited to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, cuddles, and the care they deserve while you are away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it most! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel loved and secure while their humans are away, so I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, and unique needs. I’ll provide a calm, safe environment filled with plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I know leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care every step of the way. 🐶❤️

About: I have experience caring for dogs through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and extended stays in my home. Friends, family, and pet owners have trusted me to provide attentive and reliable care, whether that means feeding, exercising, grooming, or simply keeping their dogs company throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood, Centennial Park, and the Vanderbilt area. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. Long walks are one of my favorite activities, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park within the community and several walkable areas nearby. I’m also close to Centennial Park and the Vanderbilt campus, which are great locations for safe, enjoyable walks. I have experience caring for dogs in my home for extended stays, as well as providing dog walking and pet-sitting services. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help your dog feel happy and secure while you're away.
About: I’ve been caring for my own sweet kitty, Jolene, for over two years and absolutely love being a pet parent. Growing up, I was always surrounded by both cats and dogs, helping with everything from daily walks to feeding and playtime. Over the years, I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family many times, giving lots of love and attention to both cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and truly enjoy making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible, hybrid work schedule that allows me to be available when your pets need me most. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk during the day, or some extra playtime, I’m able to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, favorite toys, walk routines, or special care instructions. I keep their space clean, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they feel relaxed and at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates (and plenty of pictures!!) to give peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet sitting. I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. From fostering a senior chihuahua to caring for 150 pound mastiffs, I have a wide variety of experience. As a dog owner myself, I know the importance of having someone you trust to take care of your pet. I’m a huge animal lover and truly love nothing more than snuggling up with a cat or dog on the couch. I love sending photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m a teacher so I’m extremely flexible during the summer. During the school year I do work 7am-3pm so your pet would have to be okay being alone for at least 8 hours. My weekends are low key so I’m able to provide much more undivided attention to your pet. I stay in homes for pet sitting as well as board dogs (dogs only) in my home. If your dog stays with me, I have a large fenced in back yard and very sweet 6 year old golden retriever to keep your pup company. I have two roommates that love pets as well. Your pup is also welcome to sleep with me as that’s what mine typically does. I live near a park and typically take my dog for a 30 minute to 1 hour walk in the evenings and would gladly take your dog for as much or as little of that as you prefer. If I stay in your home, my dog will he cared for by my roommates and I will provide your animals preferred routine.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have cared for animals my whole life. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining a clean environment. I’ve cared for pets with a range of personalities, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and routines and treat every animal like my own. I am currently a grad student with a pretty flexible schedule! I am available most weekdays after 2 pm and all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection!! I also keep your home clean and am happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: For the past 10 years, I have dedicated myself to pet sitting, providing long walks, boarding, and even some training. Growing up, I was never able to have pets of my own, so pet sitting has given me the joy of welcoming, many animals into my life as a part of my extended family. My reliability, friendliness, and patience, have allowed me to build trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, loved and wellcared for. I am in the works to enter graduate school, allowing for plenty of time to take care of your pet babies. Caring for them would make my day a bit more brighter Your pets are allowed in my home as my own, lots of cuddles, walks, and love. When at your home I will make sure to follow all task asked, play time, and many belly rubs
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have had four different dogs throughout my life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and life stages. When I was 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog walking and plant watering business, which taught me responsibility, reliability, and the importance of caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. I'll be starting graduate school at Vanderbilt this fall, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I'll be available after my classes to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I look forward to making it a regular part of my week while helping busy pet owners ensure their pets receive the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I'll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention while treating both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Billy did an awesome job caring for our pup, Summit while we were away. He kept us updated and included photos with his walks. Highly recommend Billy’s services!”

About: I am a dog and cat lover and always happy to take the best care of your beloved family member. I originally came from Wag! a different dog walking/sitting app with over 800 completed services with a 5 star rating. I trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs, administered insulin, and love caring for dogs of all sizes. I have done dog walking/ pet sitting full time for a few years and currently looking for new clients as I moved to this area from Nashville TN. I prefer sitting in my clients home, it makes me comfortable knowing the pet is in their space and have their familiar surroundings. And following the routine the owners have given me to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and safe while they are away!
About: I have worked in a boarding kennel since 2017 where I gained foundational knowledge in pet care. Since then I have become a vet student and am currently in the college of vet med, I have the knowledge and expertise! I will be available full time during summers to provide the best quality care for pets. They will be monitored full time and have access to whatever they need. I walk dogs twice daily as included in my service and am with them full time besides running errands. For the price, you can’t beat the quality of care!! In my home, your pet would be allowed to roam freely inside and be crated at night if deemed necessary. They would be monitored outside in the fenced yard for potty breaks and play time. I can provide 2 daily walks included in the services for boarding pets. I am here to make your pet’s stay exceptional.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvan Heights
I can’t recommend Jessica enough!! This was our first time using Rover and one of the first times we had to leave our 6 month old puppy home while we went on a trip. She did an amazing job! -She did a meet and greet with our dog even before we booked (and it was within a days notice!) -Great communication about our puppy’s needs and their sessions. She responded quickly. -She sent really thoughtful notes and communication. Her pictures were also SO cute. -She asked questions that demonstrated she clearly had experience with dogs and also cared about the well-being of our puppy (for example asking about heat precautions given a dog weather advisory). Overall, Jessica is incredible. She put me at ease and our puppy LOVED her and was clearly very happy. You will not regret working with her! We will definitely request her services again for our next trip!

Katherine has been amazing! She’s been doing weekly walks and dropin visits for my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated with photos and notes after each visit. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about my dog and takes the time to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Having Katherine’s help has given me so much peace of mind, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter/walker. We’re so grateful for her! 🤍

Thomas is absolutely amazing. We have one puppy and one senior dog & they both returned home from their walks practically smiling, and definitely with their tails wagging. I enjoyed meeting Thomas and talking with him. He’s very professional, but also friendly and kind. My dogs love him and we all look forward to seeing him again soon.

Piper quite literally saved my life today! I had a last minute cancellation and she was immediately responsive and on the way. Went above and beyond as far as microwaving an egg for my finicky girl who will only eat if there’s a fancy topper on her food and all I had booked was a walk. 10/10!!! Even sent pictures and videos to ease my mind. Kind, personable, responsible, and responsive!🤩

Jessica is wonderful with my dog and cat! She gives them attention, a nice walk and treats! She follows the instructions I leave and arrives on time for visits! I would highly recommend her and she is my first pick to care for my dog and cat when I go out of town!

We LOVE Avery! She is so gentle and kind! Avery is communicative, proactive, responsive, and clear. She thinks ahead, confirms scheduling questions, sends TONS of cutie pics, is super observant and lets you know of any atypical qualities in your pet, and is beyond flexible. The first time my dog, Sasha, met Avery, she acted like they had known each other forever! What a gift to make dogs feel so safe, comfortable, and at home! We enjoy using Avery on a recurring basis for midday walks, and I'm so thankful for her availability and flexibility in scheduling! Couldn't ask for more!!
