Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cumberland Gardens
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cumberland Gardens
“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.”
“Julie and Josiah take great care of my dog! They are easy to communicate with and have been very understanding when things come up with traveling etc! Will be booking again 😊”
“Robin was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. She took incredible care of Sol and treated him with so much love and patience. She also gave us some very helpful advice about how to help him behave better at the dog park, especially with his excitement around other dogs. We really appreciated her knowledge and willingness to help us become better dog parents. The best part was seeing how happy Sol was. Every update showed a relaxed, joyful pup, and when we picked him up, he looked so comfortable and content. As we were leaving, Sol kept looking back at Robin with the sweetest happy expression, almost like he was saying goodbye to a friend. That alone told us everything we needed to know about how loved and safe he felt with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would trust Robin with Sol again without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy! ❤️🐾”
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.
“Trey is THE man! We left our dog with Trey for a long weekend. Trey was very responsive, shared great updates, and most importantly took GREAT care of our dog. Our dog was treated as Trey’s own — went on daily walks, had rest time and play time, and was able to play with Treys two very well behaved doodles.”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“Lacey seems to have had the best time with Ritch and his family. She came home and went to bed without even finishing her dinner, which is rare. They sent a bunch of updates and pictures and were really flexible around drop off and pick up times which is always nice. The kids came by to say goodbye to Lacey on my way out when I picked her up, which was incredibly cute. Would happily drop lacey off with Ritch in the future!”
“Alexandra and Katya were great with my puppy Miles. They took him on walks, to the dog park, and gave him plenty of attention and let him burn off all his energy. I had no doubt that he was in good hands with them.”
“My pup had the best time with Madeline! He came home happy and sleepy and enjoyed lots of walks and cuddles. He gets anxious when I board him and Madeline did such a good job making sure he was cozy.”
About: I'm a dog lover with two miniature dachshunds who loves caring for other small dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I started pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy having extra puppy friends around. I only take one small dog at a time, so every guest gets lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, relaxed home environment. I’m a PhD student who works primarily from home, so your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide daycare and overnight boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets the care, love, and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have two friendly miniature dachshunds, Kiki and Lulu, who love other small dogs. To create a calm and safe environment, I only accept small breeds. Every dog is introduced slowly, supervised during play, and given their own space if they need a break. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine for meals, potty breaks, medications, and bedtime, and I’ll send plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a great time.
“Janey is an AMAZING dog-sitter, and I cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of Coco. You can tell she truly enjoys caring for animals and treated Coco like she was her own - even letting her sleep in the bed (which I know Coco loves.) I really appreciate the daily updates. When I picked her up from Janey, Coco seemed so happy and comfortable being with her. Will definitely book with Janey again. Thank you so much!!!”
“My my dog was recovering from surgery when I had to leave town and Margaret took her in for a couple of days. She was communicative, super enthusiastic and positive and my dog got excellent care!”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my fur babies—sending regular updates and the sweetest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She’s kind, reliable, and a joy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We love Tara! Marge had a wonderful 6 day stay with Tara — I know this because upon my return Marge was as happy as could be! Tara kept me updated with their adventures & Marge’s various lounging positions. I say we both had a nice vacation. Thank you Tara for being an amazing Rover pal 🫶”
“Ariana was awesome! Sent pictures of Yona with her Aussies daily! I could tell Yona had such a great time! I would definitely recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup! Thanks so much Ariana!”
“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
About: 16 years of experience — I’ll keep your lil nugget spoiled, fed, and safe, with calm care, attention, and everything they need while you’re away. I come home on my lunch break, and the neighborhood is great for relaxed, scenic walks. I make sure pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with nearby parks and plenty of space for fresh air, sniffing, and happy little breaks. We’ll enjoy our time outside.

Cat caregivers near you - Cumberland Gardens
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to three cats of my own, all of whom I’ve raised since they were kittens! They truly have my whole heart! Because I have this experience with cats of different personalities, ages, and needs, I understand that every cat is unique. As a cat owner myself, I know how stressful and scary it can be to leave your pets behind. I’ve used Rover for my own cats and have been so lucky to find wonderful sitters, which inspired me to provide that same peace of mind to other cat parents. I’m experienced with daily cat care, including feeding, litter box maintenance (a little too experienced 🤣), administering oral and transdermal medications, and nail trimming. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and reserved, I’m more than happy to provide patient care and plenty of love while you’re away 💛
“Stephanie is the only one we trust with our cats; She is so great with them. She has even has been able to love on our little feral cats. She’s the person we use time and time again; she’s amazing.”
“Sabrina was great with my cats! Very thorough and gave them the individualized attention that they needed (snuggling and pets for one and playing the energy out with the other)!”
“Mallory has been so kind and professional looking after my two elderly cats. Incredibly grateful to be able to trust someone to look after them and give them their medication. Will book again!”
“Taylor was amazing. She checked in on our cats while we were away for a few days and they were healthy and happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care needs and would not hesitate to ask her to help us out in the future when needed. Thank you Taylor for doing such an amazing job!”
“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!”
“LeAnn is as amazing! She braved the frigid Nashville cold during the holiday season to check in on our cats. She sent great updates and pictures to let us know all was well. I would definitely hire her again in the future :)”
“Sophie was great with our dogs. She was very communicative, took lots of photos and went above and beyond what a typical dogsitter would do. Highly recommend. We'll be using her again for sure.”
“Abigail was amazing. I loved all the updates and she was quick to respond. Eve, my cat warmed right up to her. After being away for almost 2 weeks I would have Abigail back again. She even brought in my mail when it piled up. I definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“Jordan took care of our 4 cats over the past 10 days for home visits and were very thankful to receive communication and updates each day. We had some nuanced instructions and Kordan was very flexible and handled our needs well. We’ll work with Jordan again in the future!”
“Very conscientious and a real ‘wonder’ with my very shy kitty – Patra! Within ONE visit she developed such a rapport with Patra! She comes packed empathy and kindness for your pet as well as you and your home! An absolute joy to have as a kitty sitter!”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our elusive cat, Neko. She was very respectful of our home, extremely communicative, and aware of his needs throughout our time away. She was also very helpful in giving us updates on our home while we were away - giving us peace of mind. We were very happy with Amy and will happily book her again when are away from our Neko!”
“Chris went above and beyond to make sure Betty was loved while I was away for the holidays. He spoiled her with treats, playtime, and plenty of pets. Definitely someone you can count on loving your pets like their own.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cumberland Gardens
“Robin was amazing with my pup even offering to pick up and drop off. I can tell they had a great time together and I never had any worried during their visit.”
“Alexandra and katya are the absolute best. My lil guy loves them so much. I feel so relieved dropping him off and seeing how he can't wait to see them. He also comes home calm and well exercised. Very thankful!”
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!
“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.”
“Luigi had tons of fun at daycare today, thanks Ashley! Loved seeing all the pictures taken throughout his day and happy to hear he did well on his leash/walks too :)”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets. I currently live in a home with a fully fenced yard, which provides a safe and secure place for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I also have a friendly Black Lab who gets along great with other dogs and enjoys having new friends to run around with. For three years, I volunteered at a veterinary hospital where I helped care for dogs and other animals. That experience gave me valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and it helped me develop a strong understanding of responsible and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve also house-sat and pet-sat for many friends and families while they were out of town. I take pride in making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. In my professional career, I work in Human Resources, where trust, responsibility, and reliability are essential. I understand how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pets and home. I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and regular communication while you’re away—even daily if you’d like—so you always know how your pets are doing. If you’re heading out of town, you can relax knowing your pets will be cared for in a safe, comfortable environment by someone who genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously I work 9am to 4pm in Nashville but can work remote. I am home in the evenings and can come home for lunch if need be to give extra attention. I have a fenced yard and a safe home. My dog sleeps in my bed and your fur baby to welcome where ever he or she chooses.
“Jessica and Ananda were amazing with my lab Macy. She can get pretty anxious if she is away from home without me for a while and they did a great job helping to keep her relaxed. They are wonderful and treat your dog like they are their own, so you can always be sure you're dogs are in great hands! Definitely will have these wonderful ladies watch my dog again!”
“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.”
About: I am very diligent in safeguarding the pets in my care. I am kind and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is a-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.
About: I am a work-from-home (dog) mom. I have two Australian Shepherds, who I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old, so I have experience with very high energy dogs/puppies. They are very well behaved with other dogs, and love to socialize. I have always grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old, and couldn’t imagine not having a dog at any age. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to give constant attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feeding! Since I am home a lot of the time, pets are not alone for long periods of time. I also love to stay active, so walks & outdoor time are regular parts of my day. At home, I create a safe, comfortable and low-stress environment. With my two dogs, I often watch my best friend’s dog, so I am very used to managing multiple dogs. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. If a clients dog prefers its own time/space, I can accommodate due to having multiple floors/rooms in my home for separation. When caring for a clients dog in their home, I’m very respectful of their space and stick to the schedule I am told. I also provide updates such as photos and videos so the owner is more comfortable!
About: Hi, my name is Nakayla! 🐾 I've been a dog lover my whole life and have grown up with everything from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls. I currently have a toy poodle named Milo, and instead of getting a second dog, I joined Rover so I could spend time with more furry friends! Since I work from home full-time, your pup will get lots of love, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. They'll rarely be left alone and will be treated like one of the family. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! 🐶💕 I work from home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. They'll almost always have someone with them, aside from the occasional hour or two when I step out for the gym. I live in an apartment, but your pup will enjoy plenty of walks and exercise. I'm also just 6 minutes from a dog park and can take them there with your permission!

“Xue was great, Hoochu immediately loved her! She was very good at communicating everything and she was able to take care of him even though it was a very short notice. I will definitely book with her again!!”
“Christine was amazing. I had to go on a work trip and couldn't leave our sweet Maggie alone at home while my husband was at work due to separation anxiety. Christine did doggie daycare for us and Maggie adored her. She was flexible, responsive, sent us a ton of pictures, and spoiled our girl. Hopefully we can use her every time moving forward :)”
“Margaret was wonderful with our baby, Lily. We got photos and a good report on the day. Handling over Lily to Margaret felt natural and i could sense her expertise with animals just by handing off the leash. Very happy.”

“Kirstie goes above and beyond and I'm so glad we found her to take care of our pup while we're at work. We contacted her with short notice and she is a life saver for us and our dog. Would highly recommend her!”
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.
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.
“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”

About: Have been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and many different breeds across the years. Labs, setters, and various shepherds. I also owned a rabbit growing up and have cared for horses. I work fully remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can easily stop for bathroom breaks while housesitting, go on walks during the day, or work remotely anywhere with wifi. I love to read and have put a lot of time into understanding dog body language, respectful touch for pets, and also just love to see them happy and content. Any dog I care for I would treat as my own.
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!
“Anna has been awesome with my dog. She's attentive, responsive, and always leaves the best Rover cards that truly capture how weird my dog is. Would definitely use again!”
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'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.
About: Hi! I’m a dog mom who takes pet care seriously and understands that every pet has unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, enrichment, supplements, medications, special feeding routines, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m especially knowledgeable about caring for small dogs and pets with mobility concerns. Through caring for my own dog, I’ve learned the importance of preventative care, safe exercise, elevated feeding setups when appropriate, joint health support, and following veterinarian recommendations closely. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether that means preparing bone broth toppers, adding supplements, maintaining medication schedules, monitoring food intake, or sticking to a specific routine. I know that small details matter when it comes to keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention, and peace of mind that I’d want for my own dog. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a little extra support, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family. I’m currently searching for full-time work opportunities, so I and have daily availability to spend great outdoors time with your pup at any time of day. Safety comes first in everything I do. I carefully follow feeding routines, medication schedules, supplement instructions, exercise restrictions, and any veterinarian recommendations provided by owners. I’m especially attentive to pets with mobility concerns, senior pets, or pets with special routines. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, hydration, and overall well-being and will communicate regularly so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have a knack for winning over pets, especially the anxious or nervous ones. I like to be a safe, unconditionally loving place for each and every one of them. I am a life coach, so I have a very fluid schedule with a lot of gaps. Care for animals easily fits into my schedule, or should I say, can easily match their schedule :) I treat your home (and your pets) as you would. There's a good chance your home would be even a little tidier after I leave. I want you to have the same, "ah, it's so nice to trust this person" feel I would want.
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15 :) I love all aged pups and love long walks with them! Currently a Nurse at Vanderbilt and I am saving up money for my fiancé' and I's wedding next year :) I currently work 7-5 on M,W, TH, F. I am available after 6 any of those days and all day on Tuesdays and weekends. I am also available early mornings around 5am if needed :) I treat every dog in a way that fits their needs. I understand that some pups need time to warm up to new faces and some of them love new friends! I am happy to discuss your pets needs.
About: My fiancé, Martha, and I both came from dog families and have had various breeds our whole lives! Despite my best efforts to not be a “cat person” too, they have always gravitated toward me and eventually wore me down so I’m a sucker for a cat purr now too. Plenty of experience dog- and cat-sitting for friends over the years, in addition to the ones we’ve owned. It’s only recently that we don’t currently have our own, so we’d love to love on your fur-babies when you’re not able to! We both work hybrid jobs (some in the office, some at home) with incredible flexibility in our day to day schedules. Recently engaged and no kids (and currently no pets of our own), so we have plenty of free time and are missing our pet snugs! Your pets are welcome in our home as long as they are housebroken. We have a fenced in back yard, albeit somewhat small, and no competing pets at either of our immediate neighbors’ houses. We love walking the neighborhood and try to go for a walk everyday, so this is a great excuse to keep that up while making some new friends with the neighborhood fur-babies!

“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.”
“Julie and Josiah take great care of my dog! They are easy to communicate with and have been very understanding when things come up with traveling etc! Will be booking again 😊”
“Trey is THE man! We left our dog with Trey for a long weekend. Trey was very responsive, shared great updates, and most importantly took GREAT care of our dog. Our dog was treated as Trey’s own — went on daily walks, had rest time and play time, and was able to play with Treys two very well behaved doodles.”
“We are new puppy owners and boarded our dog for the first overnight stay with Marissa. Marissa was wonderful and so caring to our sweet puppy who had some separation anxiety. Would 100% referral her to others as drop off/pick up was easy and her communication was fantastic. We are using her again in a few weeks so now will be a repeat customer.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“Lacey seems to have had the best time with Ritch and his family. She came home and went to bed without even finishing her dinner, which is rare. They sent a bunch of updates and pictures and were really flexible around drop off and pick up times which is always nice. The kids came by to say goodbye to Lacey on my way out when I picked her up, which was incredibly cute. Would happily drop lacey off with Ritch in the future!”
“Alexandra and Katya were great with my puppy Miles. They took him on walks, to the dog park, and gave him plenty of attention and let him burn off all his energy. I had no doubt that he was in good hands with them.”
“My pup had the best time with Madeline! He came home happy and sleepy and enjoyed lots of walks and cuddles. He gets anxious when I board him and Madeline did such a good job making sure he was cozy.”
“Janey is an AMAZING dog-sitter, and I cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of Coco. You can tell she truly enjoys caring for animals and treated Coco like she was her own - even letting her sleep in the bed (which I know Coco loves.) I really appreciate the daily updates. When I picked her up from Janey, Coco seemed so happy and comfortable being with her. Will definitely book with Janey again. Thank you so much!!!”
“My my dog was recovering from surgery when I had to leave town and Margaret took her in for a couple of days. She was communicative, super enthusiastic and positive and my dog got excellent care!”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my fur babies—sending regular updates and the sweetest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She’s kind, reliable, and a joy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ariana was awesome! Sent pictures of Yona with her Aussies daily! I could tell Yona had such a great time! I would definitely recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup! Thanks so much Ariana!”
“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
About: 16 years of experience — I’ll keep your lil nugget spoiled, fed, and safe, with calm care, attention, and everything they need while you’re away. I come home on my lunch break, and the neighborhood is great for relaxed, scenic walks. I make sure pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly, with nearby parks and plenty of space for fresh air, sniffing, and happy little breaks. We’ll enjoy our time outside.

“Allison is truly amazing and she cares for her furry friends deeply. She was so communicative and provided multiple photo and video updates every day, the perfect peace of mind for while you’re away. Allison is my #1 and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Bodekka had a wonderful time with Dylan. He got plenty of exercise, play, and cuddles. You can tell that Dylan actually cares about the dogs he watches and they enjoy being there. Bodekka really enjoyed the backyard which is a lovely fenced in space. 100% highly recommend and will definitely use in the future.”
