Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lyles
“We got lots of pictures and videos of Mimi during her stay and it was clear she was happy and comfortable! We are so grateful for the peace of mind that she was well cared for.”
“This was my first time ever boarding a dog and Christy really set my mind at ease. She was accommodating and took great care of our dog. She sent photos and updates during the stay. We would book again!”
“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.”
“Rolly had a blast playing with other dogs and cats! Lisa was very nice and friendly! The Sacred Dos Ranch is definitely going to be our regular spot to board Rolly on our next vacation. The cabins were roomy and a lot of space for the dogs to run around.”
“Huri has been the best with my Addie Mae! She has been great at updating me and sending me photo updates! And she helped me out and gave her a bath! I’m so thankful I found someone that Addie and I love and I feel so much better having to leave her when I know how happy and well taken care of she is!”
About: Hello! My name is Karen and I've been an avid and passionate animal lover my entire life. I have over 20 years of dog fostering experience with Big Fluffy Fog Rescue, and currently have two of my own dogs and three horses at home. I would love to let your pup join our little pack! I offer a private climate controlled area for your dog(s) to feel safe and relaxed. Crating is available, but some of my more mature canine friends prefer a nice dog bed and cot if they so choose. The space includes direct access to a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunity for outside! I am a full time remote employee, so I am here all the time. We have potty breaks as needed, with tons of supervised outside time! I offer a private inclusive area for friends, as well as lots of outside time with or without canine friends! There are cats and horses so if your friend has a high prey drive this wouldn't be the best place.
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”
“We felt SO comfortable leaving our "children" with Karri and they seemed to be immediately at ease as soon as they walked in the door. It was clear to us that they would receive the same kind of affection & love that we provide at home so there was no reason to worry about whether Looney and Mac would have anxiety while we were away. The environment was calm and the dogs were relaxed & happy when we came to pick them up. In fact, they seemed better behaved when we brought them home! The texts with updates and photos were a nice addition that helped us know everything was fine. Looney and Mac will definitely be vacationing with Karri again soon!”
“Carla took great care of our puppy. She provided ample play time and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We were very comfortable knowing Manchego was being well taken care of! Thanks Carla!”
“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.”
“Charlie had so much fun with Alexis and her family! He especially enjoyed bonding with his new buddy Finn! We appreciated receiving multiple daily pictures and even an occasional video of our silly boy Charlie (age one). He made himself right at home napping on the sofa, taking over the toy basket and enjoying the bed and crate Alexis provided for him. The large fenced yard was his playground while we were away and we could attend to family business and travel without any worry whatsoever! We are grateful to have found this excellent Rover family, especially considering our trip was very "last-minute" with little opportunity for planning in advance. We highly recommend Alexis for your fur-baby family!”
“I am very thankful for Christopher. He was available last minute to dogsit my baby Bruno. He also had a dog himself that my dog could play with and when I picked him up I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and had a good time. He also was very communicative during the stay and provided updates with pictures. Thank you very much for taking care of my baby and providing him a good experience. I Would definitely use him again and I 100% recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thank you again Christopher!!”
“This was our puppies first time staying overnight withMelissa. She was there three nights. Everything went well. Melissa was great as usual and sent us pictures and video of Maya while we were away. So grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”

“Emily has been great checking in on our cat daily while we were gone on vacation! Our cat isn’t very social with strangers, but I’m sure she still appreciated having someone coming to the house each day. It was reassuring for us as well knowing Tilly had fresh food and water each day! We highly recommend Emily and plan to have her do drop in visits for Tilly again in the future!”
“Carly was great! my cats are very suspicious of people and the last time I had someone watch my cats, they were very needy and upset but when she watched them I was back from my trip they were very relaxed and were not stressed out at all! she was great.!”

I strive to create a calm and comforting environment where they feel safe and cherished, while also giving owners confidence and peace of mind while they’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lyles
“Highly recommend Victoria, Michael and their sweet kiddos to care for, love and play with your pet. This was our first time to take our dog to a Doggy Day Care (and to use Rover) and Victoria made the entire process a breeze with her quick responses and great communication, explanations and directions. They live in a “puppy paradise” with acres of fields, woods and a creek. I felt completely at ease leaving my somewhat anxious dog with their family. He was happy, calm and completely tuckered out from his day playing with new puppy friends and the kiddos. I will definitely use Victoria and Michael again and cannot recommend them highly enough. They are kind, caring people who love animals.”
“She took great care of Dixie! Super flexible and always sent photos. I can tell when Dixie is treated well when we show up to a dog sitter and leave, she loved it! Definitely plan on having Dixie back”
“We are so grateful for Angie! We used her for doggie daycare for my two Boston terriers while we went to an NFL game. Her location was super convenient for drop off and pick up, and I know my boys were in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and gave them lots of cuddles! Thank you again!”

The other days I am only out for a few hours at a time! I also have the ability to take your pup with me to run errands if needed! Dogs can be crated if needed and also separated if needed. Feeding time is always done in separate areas of the home to prevent any accidents

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.
“Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.”
“Megan was awesome! She was super communicative. I appreciated that she was so warm and welcoming to my two dogs, and even sent me pics! One of my dogs can be anxious leaving me and he was drawn to her immediately!”
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
“Alexis and her family were wonderful with my 7 month old mini poodle pup. We ended up in a big jam and needed last minute day care for four days. 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: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.
“Our dog Greta was so happy with Jamie! She was flexible with our varying hours and very helpful throughout. We’ll definitely book her again next time we’re in Franklin. You can’t go wrong choosing Jamie as your pet sitter.”
“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”

“We are so grateful for Carly! She is really communicative and reliable so we never have to worry about our dog. Carly also sends great pictures and updates after each walk.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats the last 7 years. In a boarding and clinic environment. I have experience with every size dog and cat as well as medicine administration (oral or injection). I’m usually home with my fur babies unless I have to run errands. I might be gone up to 4 hours. When boarders are in my home I try to stay with them more until comfortable. Then if they are social can introduce my pack and slowly meet one by one. Eventually everyone will be able to be out and play. I have a fenced in front yard and fur babies to play with your pets. We have a variety of temperaments and ages, based on your pups body language I would probably have the right fit for them :) or they can also have alone time and be rotated out to avoid other dogs. I crate all my dogs at night before bed. I have cameras around my yard and outside the house for security as well.

I was in charge of feeding our family dogs, walking them, and exercising them through intentional playtime. We had 3 dogs then, and now we own two.

As a responsible student, with several years of families trusting me with babysitting, I can give you confidence that your home and pet will be cared for as if they were my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 11. I have a yellow lab and love her to death. I love taking her to the park, creek, and walks all the time. I am look for a easy summer job and something fun before I go off to college. I do have experience with taking care of other animals as well. I watch my sisters poodle very frequently, and dog sit when my friends are out of town. I currently do not have a job so I’m free everyday mostly. I have a very flexible schedule and am very quit to communicate with text and call. I have a yellow lab to keep your dog company if they come over. I do not have a fenced yard but can easily take them on a walk or even the dog park that is right down the road from my house.
About: Our pets are more than just our best furry friends, they are our babies! I promise your babies will be loved and cared for like my own!

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.
About: I have experience caring for cats, including those with anxiety and overgrooming. I currently care for my own cat and focus on keeping a calm, consistent environment. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, medications, and paying attention to behavior changes. I take time to build trust with each cat and always provide updates and photos. I also grew up with puppies. I have experienced walking, going potty, and playing! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially in the evenings and on weekends. I have a consistent schedule and am available Wednesday through Friday in the evenings and Saturdays during the day. I already care for my own cat daily, so feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with pets is something I’m used to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets reliable, on-time care and attention. In a client’s home, I follow your cat’s normal routine to keep things as stress-free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat’s personality. I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or anxious cats, and never force interaction. I also monitor behavior, administer medications if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have three pups of my own, (Roosevelt, 6 year old border collie, Sadie B, 5 year old dalmatian mix, and Chewbacca, 1 year old Carolina dog.) They are all rescues. I adore them, they are my babies. I would have many more if I had a farm and could talk my husband into it. I visit dog shelters regularly and become familiar with all the pups. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pups when you go out of town. Please contact me with your pet sitting needs. Thanks "Every once in awhile a dog enters your life and changes it." "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." "Be the person your dog thinks you are"
About: My momma had me cleaning up after pets of all kinds as soon as I could walk. She had a farm, and she worked at the Local Humane Society. And with no regrets, took me with her to work such jobs. So here I am Looking to Help YOU. I am currently a single mom looking for a way to make money for my family, that also works around the kid’s school schedule. So I hope you will let me work for YOU. I am more than willing, and capable of making the necessary trips to your home to care for your fur babies in the place they feel the most comfortable.
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!
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind (including special needs) since I was very young, from having my own to walking and feeding neighbor’s dogs or caring for them when they went away. My first job was at a Doggy Daycare and I have worked as a groomer and had my own Pet Care business for 10 years in Massachusetts up until I just moved to Nashville in June. I currently have open availability for all your pet care needs! Any days and times needed I can fit into my schedule with no problem. I have many former client’s numbers I can always provide for recommendations if needed. I stay at your home with your pet(s) so they can stay in their own environment comfortably and provide them with all the care and love until you get back! We will go over their needs and schedule beforehand so everything will be all set.

I find that pets tend to tolerate a familiar setting, especially in possible stressful situations like their owner being away.
“Alesha is my pups other mother. Sake is almost 17, so she needs extra reassurance that she is safe since her eyesight is fading. Alesha walks my dog regularly, but also stepped in as mom for two months last year when I was on a place every 4 days. Her love and compassion is why she is my go to person to take care of my best friend. Knowing that you have someone to love your pet as much as you do is important. I can travel for work knowing that Sake is in good hands.”

About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life. Had mostly larger breed dogs. Two Weimaraner‘s, a black lab, and a Rottweiler. Had a cat for about 10 years growing up. My son has a Great Pyrenees that I went with him to pick up when he was only two months old and he is now a year and a half. I walk my sons dog two times a day at minimum while he is working. I do travel some, but otherwise I will be home. Retired and ready to walk. I always wash, and clean water bowls, food bowls when adding new food. Put on calming music for the dog as well to ease them.

“We got lots of pictures and videos of Mimi during her stay and it was clear she was happy and comfortable! We are so grateful for the peace of mind that she was well cared for.”
“This was my first time ever boarding a dog and Christy really set my mind at ease. She was accommodating and took great care of our dog. She sent photos and updates during the stay. We would book again!”
“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.”
“Rolly had a blast playing with other dogs and cats! Lisa was very nice and friendly! The Sacred Dos Ranch is definitely going to be our regular spot to board Rolly on our next vacation. The cabins were roomy and a lot of space for the dogs to run around.”
About: Hello! My name is Karen and I've been an avid and passionate animal lover my entire life. I have over 20 years of dog fostering experience with Big Fluffy Fog Rescue, and currently have two of my own dogs and three horses at home. I would love to let your pup join our little pack! I offer a private climate controlled area for your dog(s) to feel safe and relaxed. Crating is available, but some of my more mature canine friends prefer a nice dog bed and cot if they so choose. The space includes direct access to a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunity for outside! I am a full time remote employee, so I am here all the time. We have potty breaks as needed, with tons of supervised outside time! I offer a private inclusive area for friends, as well as lots of outside time with or without canine friends! There are cats and horses so if your friend has a high prey drive this wouldn't be the best place.
“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.”
“Charlie had so much fun with Alexis and her family! He especially enjoyed bonding with his new buddy Finn! We appreciated receiving multiple daily pictures and even an occasional video of our silly boy Charlie (age one). He made himself right at home napping on the sofa, taking over the toy basket and enjoying the bed and crate Alexis provided for him. The large fenced yard was his playground while we were away and we could attend to family business and travel without any worry whatsoever! We are grateful to have found this excellent Rover family, especially considering our trip was very "last-minute" with little opportunity for planning in advance. We highly recommend Alexis for your fur-baby family!”
“I am very thankful for Christopher. He was available last minute to dogsit my baby Bruno. He also had a dog himself that my dog could play with and when I picked him up I could tell that my dog enjoyed himself and had a good time. He also was very communicative during the stay and provided updates with pictures. Thank you very much for taking care of my baby and providing him a good experience. I Would definitely use him again and I 100% recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter. Thank you again Christopher!!”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“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!”
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
“Michelle and her family took such great care of my nervous pup. They made him feel really comfortable and sent great updates. I would feel confident leaving Chance in their care in the future!”
“Hawk had a fantastic time with Katie for the weekend! He got to meet all kinds of new friends and the pictures we received and communication were both excellent! Highly recommend and we will be using her again!”
“Cody was awesome. We have a large male German shepherd who is scared of his own shadow and he gave Cody a run for his money the first few days. Cody was very accommodating and took him a day early so we could leave for our vacation early. He sent me a picture just about every day. Communication was an A plus, We messaged everyday and he was quick to reply back. Very friendly. I know they went for some very long walks which my boy needed and loved. Thank you Cody. Your fur babies will be in Excellent hands, safe and well taken care of with the very nice young man.”
“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.”
