“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our girl! She watched our dog for a full week and went above and beyond the whole time. We got photo updates multiple times a day, which made being away so much easier, and she took our pup on walks every single day. When we got home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Treated our pup like her own! Robin had activities for her everyday and she was able to make other pup friends during her stay. Would definitely bring our girl back!”

“Waka had a great time with Gary. Gary sent pictures and videos during Waka's stay. Waka is high energy and Gary worked well with him. I dropped off and picked up a happy pup!”

“Megan and Kerry were great! They took great care of Bud and we could tell he was very happy. We are very happy Bud had a friend to play with and took plenty of walks. Thank you so much :)”

“I must say this was the best dog sitting experience I have had. Austin was wonderful. His home was clean. And my dog is a big dog so there was plenty of yard for my dog to run and get exercise. As well as plenty of space indoors. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how Nova was doing. Very friendly and will definitely be using his services again.”

“Kelly was awesome! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of great pics and videos of him. He had a fun time and I would definitely bring him back there again.”

“We had a great experience! They have two dogs of a similar size to ours, and both were very friendly. We did a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure all three dogs got along well, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and our dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We felt very confident that our dog was in a safe and happy environment. Highly recommend!”

“Liz was so amazing to my boys! She sent regular updates with photos throughout their stay. Very timely and kind, and I will absolutely use her again in the future. It was great having peace of mind while I was away on vacation knowing that my babies were well taken care of.”

“Katherine is the best pet sitter in Nashville! She helped so much and was so reliable for my cat JoJo! She even sent daily updates and photos which put me at ease each day! Look no further for your next sitter for your animal.”

“We have had Jill come check in on our two cats a few times now and she is always so wonderful. We were in such a rush the last time we left we forgot to check how much cat food the babies had and she went and picked some up for us. She also sends sweet pics of the cats while we’ve been away which is always a plus. Highly recommend!”

“Laura was wonderful. She was attentive and provided lots of details on how our senior cat was doing while we were away. Satchel was very happy to make a new friend and appreciated Laura taking the time to explore with him and snuggle. 100% recommend!”


“I have a very skiddish cat so for me to leave her with Hannah and know my cat was comfortable enough to come out and get some attention while I was gone was very reassuring! My cat was well fed and well loved while I was traveling and I'm very appreciate to know I can trust Hannah to do it again!”


“Bae is a fabulous sitter! She was very responsive, willing to come meet my cat ahead of her first time sitting, and gave lots of updates while I was away. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”


“Ellen was so great with our fur babies! Being gone for a long period of time can be nerve racking, but I trusted her with them ! She sent great updates, and they seemed to be comfortable with her right away! Will def book again!”


“This was our first trip away from our kitty. We quickly realized, after we were 20 hours away of course, that he was not a good candidate for Rover visits. Rachel helped us find solutions to care for him while we were gone. She made sure his needs were met and he was safe. Given my kitty's personality, we will only be boarding him with a facility or with family moving forward but Rachel did a great job! Thank you!”

“Whitney was incredible! This was my first time being away from my cat since I got him, so I had a million questions and lots of little things to note. She handled everything I asked—and more. I was nervous leaving my cat with a stranger, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Athena was the absolute best! She took care of our cat, Babs, over a long weekend and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! She was always on time and went above and beyond on her visits. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she was well taken care of!!! Babs absolutely ADORED her and even cuddled with her, which is not something she usually does! 10000% recommend booking Athena!”


“Dana was awesome! Did a great job taking care of my cat (who takes an oral medication which can be challenging) and was very communicative and easy to work with. Would definitely book her again!”


About: I have grown up with and around cats my whole life! I have had multiple cats of my own and have experience with kittens to senior cats, providing medicine, and any special care! I genuinely have such a heart for cats at this point I feel like I am one. I would love to care for your sweet pets :))

“We are repeat customers and always feel great leaving our senior cat in Amy’s care. She’s very reliable, goes above and beyond, and gives our boy the extra attention he needs with twice daily insulin shots.”
“Jessica took awesome care of my kitty while I was gone!! This was my first time using rover but I’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again in the future. She sent great updates and pictures on both visits.”

“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”

“Megan & Kerry took great care of Olivia Benson for days. Communication was prompt and all our requests were honored. Their sweet pup Monty shared her fluffy bed and her toys with Olivia … we can’t wait to go back!!”

“Paris was great with my 9 months old pup. Plenty of pictures and my boy had so many friends to play with during the day Also Paris was very flexible with my crazy schedule.”

“Robin was so great!!! She really made sure that Thelma got all of the care and attention she needed and went the extra mile to ensure that Thelma got the right medical attention she needed when the time came. Any pet in Robin's care is very, very lucky.”

About: Welcome to my profile! For 6 years I’ve shared my life with a rescue dog (Buster) and have walked and boarded dogs regularly since moving to Nashville in 2024. Buster loves having company around! I’m especially good with shy or protective rescues, but I can accommodate any size or breed of dog. Puppies are welcome as well. Calm energy, reliable routines, and great care guaranteed. Quick weekend getaway? Running out of town on a last-minute notice? 2 week Vacation? Just reach out and let me know what dates you need covered and I’m your guy! Buster has proven to be a good hang for any dog. You can ensure that your dog will not be bored or bothered! From long walks by the river to movie nights chilling on the couch, my spot has proven to be a great place to host your pup. Send me a request and I will be quick to respond! I understand that leaving your pup with a complete stranger can be a bit nerve-wracking. Especially if your dog has any specific needs. Worrying about how your dog is doing while you’re out of town is the last thing need to be concerned about. I will make sure to set up a meet-and-greet prior to your pup’s stay to ensure that trust is established and that you are comfortable and confident in the decision to book with me 🤙 I can work around whatever your needs are! My job is flexible and I can work from home. You can guarantee that your dog will be given proper attention and exercise throughout the duration of their stay. Safe, dog-proofed home in an apartment complex right by the riverwalk with lots of dog-friendly accommodations. Will follow your exact routines and needs. And of course, daily photos and updates!
“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”

About: Hi, I'm Fernando! I love pets and am excited to spend time with yours! I've grown up around dogs my entire life and understand the importance of providing a safe and fun environment for them. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. My experience includes caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pup’s individual needs. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible remote work schedule and am available any day of the week. Feel free to reach out even if its last second! Before taking care of your pet, I will ask a few background questions such as your dogs routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and and temper. This information will me and you pup have a great time without any hiccups. I live in a dog friendly condominium with dog parks and big fields nearby, and have one friendly dog of my own (mini poodle).
“Margaret provided a safe and very quiet space for our anxious pup, Rio, while we explored Nashville on our cross country trip. We travel a lot, and Rio has been in a lot of Rover homes. Margaret’s setup was one of the better ones we’ve visited, and she had a good rapport with Rio. He slept for much of the day, which he doesn’t always do at Rover. That means he felt safe, secure, and at peace. We will book again the next time we’re in Nashville!”

“Katherine was great, she was so nice and Benny seemed so happy and relaxed after he left her house. She took him for a walk, and sent updates and photos. I highly recommend her!”

“Teresa was super friendly, helpful, efficient, and flexible. She made our first time using Rover very comfortable. Coco loved taking a break from our crazy vacation to hang out while we toured some museums.”


“Laura is the best! I have to drop my dog off early in the morning and often pick her up late in the evening because I work 12 hr shifts. My dog has the best time hanging with Laura and her pups”
“Carolyn is very conscientious and caring, making sure she knows everything about how to take care of your fur baby. The boys had a blast with her and I got lots of pictures and videos. Thank you!”

“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”

“Alex is amazing! I was in a pinch, downloaded Rover to find someone to watch my puppy for the next three days and she immediately responded. She is the perfect fit being so kind and patient!”

“Toby is an anxious reactive guy and they were SO accommodating and understanding! I hopped on a call with them the day before and they were so respectful of our needs. Toby actually jumped on her lap when he got there! Absolutely loved working with them, would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“Alsacia was wonderful with my dog. At the meet and greet, I instantly felt comfortable when I saw how she carefully handled the first meeting between my dog and hers at the meet and greet. Annaleigh had a minute to sniff around and get comfortable before meeting a new dog in a new environment. My dog can be a little nervous in new places, but I could see that she was instantly comfortable. She came home from daycare happy. I could tell she had a great day”

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.
About: I have lived with and cared for pets since I was 5 years old. I grew up with 3 dogs and have had my own cat for 5 years now! I truly love animals and nothing brings me more joy than seeing that an animal is safe, loved, and getting the care that they need. Whether your pet is small or large, young or old, I can’t wait to make their day brighter and your life easier! I work from home part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can make most visits work, even with last minute notice! Late mornings to early evenings preferred, but I can be flexible. I will always be respectful of your things and leave your home just as I found it! I have experience with senior dogs and am comfortable administering medicine if need be.

About: I have a large range of availability. Although I am a newer at dog sitting/walking professionally, I have been raised around cats and dogs my entire life and assisted in taking care of them. Whether that be long walks or play time, I am kind and gentle around all animals. I am responsible, and willing to accommodate to any needs your pet has. My goal is to love your animal as much as you do! I can do early mornings or late afternoons! Also flexible with days off and weekends! I am very communicative and provide lots of pictures during visits ! I am very good at following detailed instructions. I will be responsible with your space and pet! Showing animals love is a favorite past time.
“Riley and Victoria have been great from day 1. They walk our puppy twice a day and always leave good, detailed notes about how each walk went. They are very patient with her as she is not great on a leash yet and easily excitable by other dogs. So happy I found them through Rover!”

About: My pup recently passed so looking for some new friends to shower with my love and affection. In addition to my dog, I’ve always enjoyed watching friends’ pets when they’re traveling, but now that I don’t have any pets in my own house, figured I would look beyond my friends for some opportunities. I work remotely, so my schedule is really flexible for drop ins or spending time over at your house. Whatever your needs are, I can probably make them work. Every pet has unique needs! I’m flexible in making my services fit to each pup or kitty I meet. My own dog is an anxious, reactive old man, so I know how to be patient when needed but also love to play/walk/run with a dog who wants those things too.
“Leah is a 💎! Always great at communicating and my dog loves seeing her! She has went above and beyond for our family-even cleaned up a terrible potty accident that involved a roomba! Leah is one of a kind and I’m thankful for her!”

“Anna is amazing! She connected with Cali easily and built trust with her right away. During visits she helped reinforce skills that Cali was learning and worked with her on some new ones too. Anna’s reliable and a great communicator. I highly recommend her!”
“Rachel is amazing! Such a sweet young woman, very personable, excellent with my high anxiety dog. I highly recommend her. She’s extremely dependable and has been a lot of fun to get to know.”

About: I've taken care of various animals my whole life. Chickens, horses, cats, goats, random Tennessee wild life and of course Dogs. I've worked with young animals and older and I love to be by pets in general. I also have a 7 year old male Golden Doodle named Bear Bear and 5 year old poodle named Honey Bun who love to play in our backyard and go for walks around the neighbor hood and at our local park. I am available 7 days a week. I work from home so I have a lot of personal time with my own dogs to play and hangout. We have a large fenced in yard in East Nashville on a quiet cul-de-sac. Pets are family in my house and always welcomed on the couches and expect lots of love and cuddles. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can work around any needs or medications your dog might have. If you think this is a good fit let us know, we'd love to meet you and your fur baby.

About: I love caring for animals and discovering their unique personalities. My whole life I’ve always had a cat or dog living with me, whether it be mine or my roommates. Making sure they know they are loved and safe is my top priority. I am an Assistant Director in the film and Television industry, during my downtime between jobs I have an ample amount of time in my days. With dogs I work hard to build a level of trust between me and the pup. Consistency and repetition is key for me. Each dog is different so it takes some effort to get to understand them.
“Abby is great and our pup absolutely adores her! We would be lost without her help. She is a great communicator and is extremely reliable. We are so thankful for her!”

“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Asia made the experience seamless. She sent us photos and updates several times a day which eased any anxiety I had about leaving her and our kids loved being able to see her awhile away. Asia even took the time to meet us in person prior to the boarding stay. We would and will book with Asia again! She’s wonderful!”
