“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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - McKissack Park
“Robin was exceptional!!! I would 100% revisit her every time I am in Nashville. She created such a welcoming and comforting space for my Tucci, made sure she was active, and constantly communicated updates! Robin was super friendly, flexible, and she had so much access to good green, safe, dog-friendly spaces! Best sitter ever! Thanks Robin!”
“We are very selective about leaving our little boy with anyone. But, we immediately felt comfortable with Megan and Kerry. They were great and Mokee had a good time. After we're away from him, he normally goes wild to see us again. This time he was "ho hum, you're back." Oddly, that makes me happy! 😂”
“Ariana was great with my pup! She was flexible and accommodating, which I so appreciate. My pup came back tired and happy from daycare with Ariana and her pups, so I know she had a good time! Would totally recommend her to watch your kiddos!”
“Alex is amazing! I was in a pinch, downloaded Rover to find someone to watch my puppy for the next three days and she immediately responded. She is the perfect fit being so kind and patient!”
“My girl, Maya had the best time at Amanda’s! You can tell she and her daughter truly care about the dogs as if they were their own. She was flexible with me because I have crazy work hours and kept me updated with pics throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!”
“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: Hi, I'm Fernando! I love pets and am excited to spend time with yours! I've grown up around dogs my entire life and understand the importance of providing a safe and fun environment for them. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. My experience includes caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pup’s individual needs. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible remote work schedule and am available any day of the week. Feel free to reach out even if its last second! Before taking care of your pet, I will ask a few background questions such as your dogs routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and and temper. This information will me and you pup have a great time without any hiccups. I live in a dog friendly condominium with dog parks and big fields nearby, and have one friendly dog of my own (mini poodle).
“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.”
“Alina took great care of my dog while I was in town for a few hours! She made sure he was comfortable and had plenty of time outside.she was prompt and very responsive to messages. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Shelby was a huge last minute help for me and Ollie and was super flexible when I got delayed. She’s very sweet and I could tell that Ollie felt comfortable with her 🩷”
About: I have been a dog mom for over six years now and ever since I got my Louie (male Yorkie) I’ve cared for puppies of all ages. I can administer medication and provide a safe and loving environment. In my home the babies are aloud on furniture and will have a fenced backyard to play. P.S.: I can only care for small/medium dogs. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I’m able to give them lots of attention and keep them safe and happy alongside my fur baby boy! I have a fenced in backyard and can provide safe play and potty times. I’ll promptly follow your instructions on feeding and medication administration (oral only).
“Brittany was wonderful! She was great at communicating right from the start! She responded quickly to every message. She greeted us and welcomed us into her home with open arms. Offered to show me around. Asked about Zoeys schedule, eating habits, etc. Everything you could ask for from your doggy sitter plus more. We only stayed for a short visit, as I was from out of town. But she eased my mind as I was out, with photos and reassuring messages about my fur baby. I wish I lived local because I would love to have her watch over Zoey again! Another bonus was that Zoey had the opportunity to socialize with other pups and make some new friends! Zoey can be stand offish sometimes, and usually takes a while to make new friends. Under Brittany's care, she had new friends in one visit! She only has a handful of fury friends and we don't come across opportunities of exposure too often. I'm also kind of a helicopter parent myself... so for anyone out there like me, trust Brittany. Being able to travel, work, or even just have a day to yourself, and not have the constant worry if your pup is okay is priceless!”
“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!!”
“Daria is literally the BEST when it comes to someone watching your pup. I have a brand new puppy (now 3 months old) and work 12 hours shifts. Daria was always willing to be up early to let me drop off Mack on the way into work and grab her on my way back from work. I genuinely felt like Daria loved Mack as her own and always felt as ease when Mack was with her. She sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day and now Mack has a new best friend, Boone. Thank you Daria :)”
“We had an amazing experience with Shane! Not only did he take excellent care of my fur baby, he was super easy to communicate with and on time for every meeting. My pup was always so happy and excited to see him. He always kept me updated with pictures each day, which was so nice to see. I will definitely be using him in the future and highly recommend him!”
“Paris was available very last minute to watch Cooper for a few hours - despite not feeling 100% himself! Cooper was very happy to see him again and we loved the cuddle pictures :) - thank you, Paris!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - McKissack Park
About: Since I was a child, I’ve been around many different kinds of pets. I grew up with great danes in the house, as well as multiple cats and other small rodents. Now my family owns a very happy doodle named Griffon. I grew up watching my family’s dogs as well as other dogs and cats in my neighborhood. Currently I live in Nashville with my 6 year old beagle named Emmy. I love all kinds of animals and would love to meet your furbaby! I’m currently taking care of the home full time so I can be as attentive as needed with your pet! I normally walk Emmy three times a day, making sure at least one walk is a long walk through a park so she gets a lot of good smells and mental stimulation. Since I live in an apartment downtown, I try to take my dog out as much as possible so she doesn’t feel like she’s stuck inside all day. For this reason I don’t do overnight stays at my apartment, but I would be more than willing to house sit for someone’s animal. I always make sure the pet in the home is adequately taken care of to their energy level, I used to take my families dog on runs with me if he seemed bored.
“Ariana has been such a fabulous help and walker for my pup! He loves her, and she treats him like her own. I highly recommend her for your babies! Just don’t take my times😇 Just kidding! She is awesome!”
About: Taken care of dogs of all ages and some cats too. Will be attentive to your pet for as many visits needed in a day.

Afternoons typically are better I will carefully follow your instructions and pay close attention to your pet while I am with them ensuring they are being cared for and played with
About: Animal lover and current cat owner with experience cat and dog sitting for friends and family, caring for my family cat, and helping care for my past roommates two cats for one year. I also have basic bird sitting experience. I am a current PhD student with flexible weekends and weekdays depending on my class schedule. I have availability during the evenings and most mornings. I am happy to work between our schedules to find a time to check in on your pet! I am typically in classes and unavailable during the following times: M: 8-10:30am T: 10am-4pm W: 8am-3pm T: 10am-4pm I’m happy to work with you and cater the drop-in visits to your and your pets needs. This can be just to drop in and check on your cat, feed them, clean the litter box, play with them, or just spend some time with them.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs for my whole life so I am very used to being in charge of animals! I love to be around animals and going on walks with a dog makes my day that much better! I will be able to fit any of your pets needs into my schedule! I can go any time that you would need me to! I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you provide!
“We had an excellent experience with Maimee. She was timely, responsive, and communicative. We loved receiving notes and photos of our corgi, Rhubarb. She spent plenty of time with her even on the days it rained or Rhubarb preferred to play inside. It was so helpful to have someone we trusted for the week I was out of town.”
“Chloe responded to me super quick and was able to walk my puppy for me even though I requested her like 24 hours before I needed her! She was super friendly and sent me lots of pics of my girl and was so loving towards her! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”
“Highly recommend Juliet for anyone who is looking for a fun, smart and caring dog walker. Juliet just completed a multiple times per day assignment over almost a week and was prompt, communicative and a pleasure to get to know. We're looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a toddler. I’ve trained 3 of my own pets before! I have loved animals and have such a big loving heart for all fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule! I make my own hours and am able to help anytime from letting them outside to walking to taking to a park etc. I have a fenced in yard and 3 huge bedrooms. They are allowed to sleep anywhere as long as you approve, love all kinds of snuggles!
“Shelby is great! My dog is large, anxious, and is a little bit particular but she took all of it in stride and Nala really seems to like her. Looking forward to having her come regularly 😊”
“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: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, and one thing I always prioritize is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s overnight stays, playtime, walks, or just relaxing at home, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing 🤍 I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment and only take a limited number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets plenty of attention and care. I’ve worked with dogs of all personalities and will always adjust to your dog’s needs, routines, and energy level to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I’m a full-time dental student with a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide structured care. I also come home during lunch and dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet care. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in an apartment, so we do not have yards. However, we have a dog park on the property and lots of local parks for some fun and good exercise.
“I hired Haley for daily morning walks with our pups. Haley has been walking them for the past week. She is punctual, friendly, and the dogs really enjoy their walks with her! Highly recommend her for your dogs walks.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house ever since I was born! I am a current graduate nursing student, so I have an inherent love for taking care of all humans / animals! Growing up in my childhood home, one of my collies, Sasha, is very chill, low maintenance and quiet, while my other collie, Charlie, is hyper and playful, but gets scared easily. I’ve also had experience with taking care of my brother’s dog and my high school advisor’s dog, and both of them needed constant attention and play time - on the whole, I have experience with lots of dog personalities! If I take care of your dog, I’m also happy to take/provide any pictures and make your dog/pet feel like a model! Doggie cuddles and massages are on the house :) Because I’m currently in a graduate program at a nursing school, I only have time to dog sit / walk two-three times a week, but on those days I am free, I can give my full and undivided attention to the pet(s)! I cannot take care of pets in my own home, but can certainly be flexible and adjust to whatever the owner needs me to do when it comes to coming to their home / walking their dog!
“Billy was amazing!!!! He gave Bennet's walks everyday like clockwork and provided helpful updates including noticing and informing us that Bennet seemed lower energy one of the days. 10/10 would book Billy again!”
About: I've grown up with dogs throughout my entire life. From chihuahuas, to golden retrievers, to rescues I have had experience with a myriad of different dog breeds and personalities! On top of caring for, walking, and playing with the dogs my family owned, one of my earliest jobs was dog-sitting neighborhood dogs when their families were out of town. You can count on me to provide the same high quality care to your dogs that I would provide to my own. I am a current medical student in Nashville. As a result, most of my availability will fall on the weekends! My availability on Fridays would start around 6:30 pm and I can go to any time on Sunday. I will always respect your house rules and items when caring for your pets at your home. I will also respect and reinforce the way in which you have trained your pets (crate training, meal times, etc). I will always care for your pet to a high level of detail, making sure they have sufficient walks, making sure to clean up any mess they make, and making sure all of their needs are met!
About: I am very passionate about about both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience dog sitting. Throughout college every summer I dog sat for multiple families, most requiring I stay overnight with the dog. I have dog sat for a variety of breeds, ranging from very small to very large dogs. I have also grown up with having dogs as pets. I have cat sitting experience as well and currently have a cute black cat named Nash, who I love so so much. I have experience with very friendly cats and cats who prefer to do their own thing. I also have experience with a variety of different aged cats, ranging from kittens to elderly cats. As for my personal life, I am originally from an hour outside of Chicago and I currently work as a registered nurse at Vanderbilt’s Monroe Carell children’s hospital! I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friends one day! I currently work as a Registered Nurse with Vanderbilt. I am working 12 hour night shifts, meaning I am only working 3 days a week. With this schedule I have a lot of flexibility. On the days that I am not working I am available at any time of day, however afternoons usually work best for me since I tend to be sleeping earlier in the morning with my night shift schedule. I understand that every pet is different. They all some from different backgrounds, have grown up in different situations, and have different personalities. I want to meet your pet on their level and care for them in whatever way they need. If they are shy or energetic, I can shape the care I provide to best fit their needs. I am used to walking big strong dogs, as those are the types of dogs I have always had. I currently live in an apartment with a balcony, so there is not much room for a pet to run around at my place, but at your place I will ensure I am incredibly careful and only go into areas the pet is allowed to be in.
