“Huri was absolutely wonderful with our pup. Our puppy is quite energetic and she definitely handled her well over the weekend, she got tons of exercise and play time!”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”

“Matt, Candice & family cared for Sam & Roxy like they were their own. A blessing to be able to enjoy our time away and know that our doggos got TLC in a loving home.”
“Melissa was an excellent sitter for our teacup chihuahua. He is 16, blind and hard of hearing which required a little extra precaution. Her nursing background definitely put us at ease. She sent pictures to us while we were out of the country and let ys know how he was doing. She took him for walks in a doggy stroller and gave him lots of love. She also administered his meds. I would highly recommend Melissa to care for your fur baby! We will absolutely use her services again. Thank you Melissa!”

“Anita was amazing —fast to respond (and we were in a pinch for boarding over a holiday), super sweet, and of course, she took amazing care of our Pom. She couldn’t have made things any easier for us… courteous and professional from the booking to the pickup. Our dog had a blast staying with her as well. I very highly recommend Anita. Thanks again for the great service!”
“Jackie and her husband Morgan and were absolutely fabulous and a God send to us and took amazing care of our puppies Sophie and Tucker!! Jackie sent me pictures and updates and eased our minds. I highly recommend her!!”
“Chris was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. He communicated quickly and frequently, and sent pictures to me almost every day of my dogs 10 day stay. Drop off/pick up was very smooth and my dog had a great time. Would recommend Chris to anyone!”
“Christy was great...sent lots of pictures and updates. My Stu had so much fun he was tuckered out and slept like a baby when he got home. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Simone took such incredible care of my Maltipoo, Lucy! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Simone sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can truly tell that she treats every dog she watches as if they were her own, giving them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Lucy looked so happy and comfortable in every picture, and it was obvious she was having the best time. I’m so grateful for the care Simone provided and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future! If you’re considering booking Simone, this is your sign! Do not hesitate! Your pup will be loved and well cared for ❤️🐾”
“Carla and her dog Pepper were the absolute best! She was able to accommodate us last minute for a one night stay and I’m so happy it worked out. I normally like to do a meet and greet first but time just didn’t allow for one. When I dropped him off though I felt super comfortable seeing as how happy her dog Pepper was. I knew my Bentley would be in good hands. She sent picture updates throughout his visit - my favorite thing. I would recommend and would definitely feel comfortable bringing my dog back here.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”

We even threw a last second curve with home access the last second while she handled with no issues. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for pet care!”
“This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter through Rover, and Janine was great to my two kitties. She made sure they were fed and successfully gave one of them their twice daily medication, along with giving playtime and attention. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving my kitties with Janine while I was away for a few days!”

“Madison is such lovely person and wonderful person! She has excellent rapport with our kitties, sends great updates with feedback, is attentive to details, and very caring of our property. Her helpfulness enabled us to take a weeklong anniversary trip knowing our two kitties would have a loving person to ease their separation anxiety and help them follow their prescribed diet. Madison sent better pictures and video then I have ever been able to take of them. The kitties think all visitors should play like Madison does. We will definitely be requesting Madison again!”
About: I myself have a spunky 3 yr old border collie/shepherd mix. We have worked with a trainer to channel her high energy drive. Because of this, I have learned ways to overcome a lot of challenges dog owners face & how to build healthy bonds. With me, you wouldn’t be getting just a regular walk or play! We will learn cool things together & have so much fun while doing it 😎 In addition to my own current fur baby, I’ve owned two other pups as well as fostered back home in WI. I dog sit for friends, families, and neighbors. I treat your pups just as my own 🐶 I work M-F at home and have a very flexible work schedule as well as being completely free on weekends!

“Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!”

I sent an inquiry at 8:30 the night before, and Alexis responded within a couple of minutes! She was also great at reporting in and sending photos. My pup was well cared for and had a wonderful time playing with their darling young son and sweet dog. Big thanks to Alexis and her terrific family!!”

About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
“Our first daycare experience with Erika and Erik went very well! Very friendly and attentive sitters. Our dog Bear seemed happy and cared for. They have a great place that is very inviting. I highly recommend them!”

About: I had a pet-sitting service for 15 years, and then I started caring for dogs in my home through Dog Vacay. I took a break to care for my ailing mother and then I became a Nanny to a newborn boy. He is now 4 years old and my services are no longer needed. I am also a missionary to Uganda. I've been helping with a woman's ministry since 2007. I can not be idle, so I'm reactivating my Rover profile. I’m available for Drop-In visits or House Sitting. I am retiring as a Nanny and I am reactivating my Rover account. I’m not taking care of pets in my home, but I can come to you; Drop-Ins and House Sitting. While I am in your home, I will also bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, and bring in or take out your trash bins. I can come to you, Drop-Ins or House Sitting.

About: I’m a homeowner with a huge fenced in backyard. I WFH so potty breaks and play time is not a problem. I have a 70lb golden retriever who loves to play. I take my own dog for a minimum of two walks a day. Most days I get out three or four times. I have a huge fenced in backyard for in between walks. I have a very sweet 5 year old golden who loves other dogs. I have experimented caring for super young all the way to end of life care for senior dogs.
About: **Due to extreme heat this summer I will use my discretion with shortening walks for your dog’s health** Current work schedule: I go in office 3 days a week but I can possibly I can flex my days. Available for services with that in mind! I need at least a week for new clients to schedule a meet & greet! I do not accept daycare & boarding without one because I require our pets to meet ahead of time so we can assess if they would be a good fit together. Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.

“Shayla has been wonderful! She walks my little Rocky every Tuesday while I'm at school. It's been so helpful to know I can rely on her to help give him a potty break mid day, and Rocky seems to love her!! :)”
About: I’ve had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. My first childhood pet was a sweet dachshund named Greta. In my adulthood, I have been caring for my own pets for the past 26 years. We love to have our dogs Bertie and Chester near us wherever we are, indoors and outdoors. More recently, we have welcomed two incredible cats, Belle and Zesty, into our family as well. In my experience, having pets truly makes life better. I would welcome spending time with your pet, whether in your home or out on a walk, and would care for them as I would one of the pets in my own family. I am comfortable caring for active pets as well as seniors who are moving a little slower these days. I am taking some sabbatical time away from my full-time profession, so I have lots of time and energy available to care for your furry friends (as well as my own dogs and cats). I believe that pets make our lives better, and in turn I am committed to making their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as I possibly can. You can depend on me being detail-oriented and conscientious; I will stick closely to the instructions you share with me about how best to provide for your pet’s needs while you are away (as regards schedule for feeding, cat litter box tending, dogs being taken outside, medications to administer, and so on). As someone who has entrusted my own pets to the care of sitters over the years, I understand the importance of making sure my clients’ dogs and cats get lots of loving care and undivided attention, in addition to providing for their physical needs.
“Christy is an energetic dog lover who did a great job exercising my Golden Retriever! She is very punctual and reliable. Buddy came back from his walks tired and very happy. I will be using Christy again! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals throughout my life. I have had a dog and a cat and I’m comfortable around all animals. I have a gentle personality and get along with all pets! I have plenty of time during my weeks to play with pets! I am currently looking for a music industry job in the area and would love to help out the community in the meantime! I am comfortable playing with, caring for, and interacting with all animals. I have a fenced in yard and always love the company of a furry friend.

About: Hey, my name is Matt! I have experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, goats, horses, and cattle. I grew up on a farm in Alaska. I am self employed and have a great degree of flexibility on work location. I can spend time with your pets and schedule my work around your pet’s needs. I will meet with you in-person prior to booking so that I can meet you and your pets and take detailed notes about needs and expectations during my stay.
About: I have been a lifelong dog owner, caring for multiple breeds including dachshunds, chocolate lab, beagle mixes, Doberman, Rhodesian ridgeback mix, and mini schnauzer. I have hands-on experience providing end-of-life care for a senior dog with osteosarcoma, demonstrating compassion and patience in difficult situations. Currently, I care for a 5-year-old neutered Doberman and an 8-year-old spayed Mini Schnauzer. My work-from-home schedule allows me a flexible schedule for your pet’s supervision. This deep personal experience, combined with my flexible availability ensures professional and cozy care tailored to each dog's needs. Since I work from home, taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my day. I’m able to check in on them frequently and give them plenty of breaks and playtime. I make sure they get regular exercise and lots of affection between work tasks. Because I’m home almost 24/7, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit each dog’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. I ensure that all dogs are treated with love and respect. Letting them know they’re safe and that everything is okay while their humans are away is of utmost importance to me.
“WOW! Barbara is the BEST. She took such great care of my dog Winnie while I was out of town. She fed, watered, walked, and played with Winnie and sent me prompt updates with multiple photos each day! She even picked up my mail for me! Cannot recommend Barbara enough. She is thoughtful, warm, and polished. I was so scared to leave my dog in someone else’s care and Barbara absolutely assuaged any concerns I had. 12/10. Will be rebooking!! 💕”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life! I currently walk my neighbors dogs, take care of kittens & cats, and my own clan of furry friends! I would take care of your pets as I would want someone trusting and loving to do the same for mine! ❤️ I work from home, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends to walk, play, cuddle, and spend quality time caring for your beloved fur child. I live in a townhome community in Franklin, with lots of space to walk and play with your dogs! I own a 2 bedroom condo with a backed in fenced area also:)
About: Professionalism, integrity, top tier care and timeliness are my main priorities. I have a years of experience caring for canines and cats. When they are with me, I love to take them on adventures, play fetch, walks, and give them lots of love. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do morning, night and mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
About: I have dog-sat on multiple occasions for various neighbors and acquaintances up to 4-5 days at a time. Some of these requiring me to spend multiple hours playing with the dogs at a time and administering medicine to them. I have had four dogs of my own throughout my life so I know how to clean up messes and problem solve. I have also had to take care of dogs in every stage of life for this reason too. I have volunteered at the local rescue shelter near my college in which I would take dogs for a good chunk of the day to socialize and play with. I am still currently on the hunt for a part-time job, but that means as of right now I have a pretty open schedule to take care of pets! I can organize my day around what is needed. I can do all that is requested to keep pets safe in the home, and if needed can think on my feet for whatever situations may arise. I have had difficult dogs myself, so I understand how to take control while also being kind to the animals. I will not disrespect the space of the homeowner either :)
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was about 15, either house sitting, walking, or drop ins. I have experience with all animal behaviors and am comfortable with most. I am available any time; I don’t have a traditional job anymore. Monday through Friday and select weekends depending on the need of the pet! I am not able to watch pets in my home, but in yours. I am mostly available to do drop ins; long or short. I am happy to give them enrichment whether it be fetch or wand toys!
About: I have taken care of many animals in my neighborhood for 4 years now. I can help you when you can’t walk, feed, or clean! I am home from school so I have a very open schedule. I would love to help out as much or as little as you need! I make sure to pay close attention and have lots of fun with your pets so they are safe and happy at all times when you are gone.
About: I’m a professional dog trainer and experienced pet care provider with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m new to TN and Rover but I have run my own pet care business the past 10 years prior to my move. My background includes dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, and volunteering with animal rescues and shelters, where I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those with special behavioral or medical needs. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Boarding Your dog will receive almost constant care and companionship. I work from home and intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for so each one receives plenty of individual attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog won’t be competing for attention and can truly feel at home. For active dogs, I provide at least one hour of exercise and enrichment each day, tailored to their energy level and routine. Drop-In Visits, Walks & House Sitting I also offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. Keeping your dog in their familiar environment can be a great option for reducing stress while maintaining their normal routine. I’ll ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and mental stimulation while respecting your home as if it were my own. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and accommodating individual routines and preferences. Whether your dog requires extra patience, a structured schedule, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to provide personalized care. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your dog’s stay or visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, and I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, reliable, and loving experience for your dog. I look forward to meeting you both! I work part time teaching pilates and my partner works from home so we provide constant care and attention. My schedule allows frequent breaks to attend to the dogs with walks, potty breaks and bonding time with other dogs There’s a dog park and trails at our apartment complex and the dog will be with us at all times. With dogs who are reactive on leash I always ensure to create a safe distance from other dogs and do not let dogs off leash unless in an enclosed space
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I'm one of those people who, before I came out of my shell, spent more time with animals than people. Sometimes I still do. I've had dogs and cats all my life, and also rode horses starting just before I was 4. I have 7 years of experience on Rover and another 2 independently dog walking and sitting before that. I’ve cared for many kinds of dogs and cats, fish, turtles, donkeys, a family of racoons, and more. And I have a lot of experience caring for older animals and animals with medical conditions. I also used to volunteer with my mom transporting rescue dogs with Echo Dog White German Shepherd rescue. I am a homebody for the most part, so once I'm there I'm probably not going anywhere. My capital W Work is writing - I'm 13 years into an elven magic realism epic screenplay/novel series, it is my passion project and pet/housesitting gives me the time to tend to that vision, and fur babies to keep me company! Walking and playing with them keeps me active and in my beloved nature. It is a great joy to give people peace of mind while they travel, knowing their home and furbabies are in good hands. I know how stressful it can be - I was born in the Northeast and then moved to Nashville when I was 12 so my mom and I would drive up there to visit family, but we would often bring our dog and cats with us on that 13 hr ride because we didn’t have anyone we trusted to watch them. It’s a great time, unless it’s a family emergency. Now, I get to be that person for other people! My clients relaxing, knowing that they can have fun or do what needs doing and that their fur babies are taken care of at home - that is priceless and never gets old. If you have 3 or more pets, I'm happy to give a discount. I know how hard it can be trying to find care for them when you have many. Feel free to reach out! Pets are family. I will make sure they receive the best care possible! I'm a night owl myself when I'm home but whatever their routine is, I will stick to that as much as I can. For dogs, walks are included in housesitting if you want that. And any plant and garden care etc. Totally depends on your and your pet's needs. I'm so excited to look after your fur baby!

“So grateful to have Alexis and her family to board our dog, Bear. They are reliable, keep us well updated, and are so good with our Bear. Will definitely continue using their services!”
“Our pup was so well taken care of while staying with Bailie! She was thoughtful enough to send us messages complete with pictures daily. When we saw his big smile we knew we had found the best friend/sitter for our pup.”
“Matt, Candice & family cared for Sam & Roxy like they were their own. A blessing to be able to enjoy our time away and know that our doggos got TLC in a loving home.”
“Juniper had such a great time. She came home exhausted and happy. We could tell that she was well taken care of and loved on especially by the sweet kiddos. We will definitely bring her back :)”
“Serenity did a wonderful job hosting our pup. She provided frequent updates with photos, and was very responsive to all communication. Would absolutely book with again!!”
“Chris was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. He communicated quickly and frequently, and sent pictures to me almost every day of my dogs 10 day stay. Drop off/pick up was very smooth and my dog had a great time. Would recommend Chris to anyone!”
“Christy was great...sent lots of pictures and updates. My Stu had so much fun he was tuckered out and slept like a baby when he got home. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Samantha treated our pups as if they were a part of her family. I was not worried about our senior pup. He is pretty chill, but was nervous with our youngest. We rescued him a year ago and he has some separation anxiety and is truly a Velcro dog. He did exceptionally well! All the updates and pictures put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy time with family. We highly recommend her and will gladly trust our pups with her again in the future.”
“Allison did a fine job with our dog. She is a decent sized dog, about 80 pounds. But she is often rather timid around strangers. We just needed one night and it worked out fine.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Sarah and Kevin took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention given, it was clear our pet was in great hands. They followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our furry friend felt comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Sarah and Kevin for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”
“Tifaney was absolutely amazing. She is awesome at communicating and sent me many pics every day to show me how Majik was doing. She is quick to respond and extremely nice. Her children helped provide attention for Majik (she needs A LOT of attention) and she is definitely going to be my dog-sitter for all of my future needs. I can’t wait to have her watch my baby again because I know she will be in good hands and receive the attention and care that she needs. Me and Majik love Tifaney and are so blessed to have found such an amazing dog-sitter!!!”
“Megan was incredibly sweet, communicative and sensitive to the fact it was the boys first time away from home. From the pictures, it seemed as though they settled right in. Grateful to have someone that I can trust with them on our next trip.”
“Thrilled with the experience; I’d say it was a success! Ace & Angel were exhausted by all the fun they had with the other dogs at the farm! Thanks Jodi for taking such great care of my dogs.”
“Alexa welcomed our two corgis into her home while we were out of town, this was the first time they have stayed with someone other than family. Her communication was great, and her and her husband certainly spoiled our dogs and loved on them just as if they were home with us. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dogs received from Lisa! They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. Lisa made sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention — even making sure they got a quick walk after the rain. Communication was smooth throughout, and I felt totally at ease while I was away. I’d absolutely trust her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
