“I can’t say enough good things about Allison! Murphy had a fantastic time and was so well cared for during his stay. Allison went above and beyond, sending me photos and videos throughout, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear she treated Murphy like her own, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable.

I would happily bring our dog back for another stay if we needed again.”
“We’ve been bringing our dogs to Janey since we moved here 5 years ago. She’s trustworthy and provides excellent care. It’s clear they feel like home with her and have since the first stay.

“Lizzie was great! She was experienced with giving insulin which was a huge plus for our diabetic guy. We really appreciated the updates and videos we received and knowing everyone was well taken care of!”
“Yan did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. My one cat is shy so she didn’t get to meet her but she played with my other cat, gave her treats, and showed her some love. The litterbox was kept clean as well. She also sent me plenty of cute photos to update me with each visit! I would highly recommend Yan for looking after your felines!”

They both seemed as comfortable as their natures allow in dealing with a new person, and we had pics after each visit. I would recommend her to visit with your pets too.”
“Amy is wonderful with my sweet tabby rescue. Stuart only appears if he really likes you/ loves you. Then he’ll do rolls, purrs, and even make some biscuits. He loves Amy. Thank you Amy!!”

About: Hi! I’ve taken care of many different cats and feel confident in knowing what helps them to thrive! I definitely have a bit of a soft spot for cats and know how hard it is to leave your animal, and I want to make sure they are getting all the love and care they could ask for while you’re gone :)
“I am very pleased with the drop in care Megan gave to my cats while I was out of town. She was able to give my cat, Max his liquid medication once a day. He does not like his medication and can be very difficult. She sent pictures during her visits and gave me a summary of each visit. I will definitely ask for her services again!”
“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.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I’ve raised and trained two medium-to-large dogs with very different temperaments—one with fear-based aggression and the other a confident, strong-willed Husky. Through those experiences, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine body language to help dogs feel safe and confident. Outside of pet care, I’m a full-time elementary school teacher. My career has strengthened my ability to provide calm, reliable care while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries with kindness and compassion. I believe those same qualities help pets feel secure and build trust quickly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine and personality. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and attentive care. As a teacher, my availability is greatest during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks, and I always strive to provide dependable communication and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have flexibility during breaks from school, and weekends are also flexible for me morning, afternoon, evenings. I am occasionally available weeknights during the school year. I have a fenced in yard with space to run and I have a dog that is very social. My dog is not crated, yours can be if you prefer (please provide crate if needed).

“Robin was amazing. Attentive and communicated well. She kept my pup super active while she had her and went above expectation of what was asked. Thank you so much!”
“Loved all the photos. Cyndie was super responsive. My pup had a great time. It was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous but Cyndie and her family were terrific. I would definitely rebook with her.”
“Our first time leaving our fur baby with someone we didnt know. I instantly felt such good vibes from my dogs reaction when we dropped her off. Will def recommend 100% and will br a repeat whenever we come to Nashville and bring out fur baby with us 🥰”
“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.”
“Lauren was amazing! My dog and hers got along great and her yard is very secure. My dog was happy, fed, and extremely tired every night when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”
“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 :)”
“Absolutely! I cannot recommend Angeli highly enough! From the moment I entrusted my beloved furry friend into their care, I knew I had found someone truly exceptional. Angeli demonstrated not only a genuine love for animals but also unparalleled professionalism and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness, providing daily updates and photos that brought me immense peace of mind during my time away. Their attention to detail, reliability, and compassionate approach set them apart. My dog returned home visibly content, a testament to the fantastic care they received. Thank you, Angeli, for your outstanding service!”
“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.”
“Allison was very good with our dog Bourbon she sent pictures of him and even took him in her car to pick up child he seemed to enjoy his time and was complete worn out when we picked him up.”
About: Hi! I’m Jake, a lifelong dog lover with professional daycare experience. I grew up with dogs and spent time working at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility in Denver, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, keep play safe, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone else, so I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away, whether that’s during a walk, a drop-in visit, or longer care. My schedule is very flexible, and communication is important to me. I always keep my phone nearby and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make sure to follow what works best for them so they feel right at home. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I’m a musician who recently moved to town, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I structure my days so the pets I’m watching always get consistent attention, exercise, and communication with their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision, while keeping their environment safe and calm. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always communicate with owners so they feel confident their pet is living their best life and having a great time!
“Laura is the best! I have to drop my dog off early in the morning and often pick her up late in the evening because I work 12 hr shifts. My dog has the best time hanging with Laura and her pups”
“Toni was wonderful with Koda!! She was kind, careful and attentive. Great communication too. Her sweet dog, Quincy, was a great companion for Koda. Her backyard was perfect for running and playing! Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hey there! I'm Lily, dog-momma to Teddy, a 2-year-old goldendoodle. I work fully remotely, so your dog will have lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also active, so walks and playtime are always on the agenda. I’d love to welcome your pup into my home for boarding or doggy daycare. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting those zoomies out. I also have the sweetest 2-year-old Goldendoodle who absolutely loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate around during their stay. I know how hard it can be to find someone you fully trust with your furry friend. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease, knowing your pup is safe, loved, well cared for, and having a great time while you’re away. I am currently working remote full time so I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’ve found this makes it easy to meet all walking schedules with no stress. My safety rules: - I believe in keeping a leash on when walking - Even if your dog is kind, others might not be, so if we go to a park or go on a walk, I will always be on guard to protect your dog if the other instigates a fight - I will feed your dog by your instructions - I will only give your dog treats that you authorize, no human food - I will consistently make sure there is water for your dog
“We did a meat and great prior to Our daycare. Sofia was great! Grayson Seemed to feel comfortable with her. Sofia was also great, asking questions and seem to really want to understand Grayson and his needs. Today was his first day care with Ms Sofia and he did great. He was a happy boy when I got back and did not look stressed out. We are happy to find Miss Sofia and will be returning very soon! Thank you Miss Sofia.😀🐾”
“Zitian was excellent at communicating with me both before & after the sit. His location is very convenient to visiting downtown Nashville & Broadway St. He sent a report card w/photos of my dog when they were out on walks - loved that! I appreciate that he took the time to read my dog's profile to understand his needs. I recommend Zitian with no hesitation & would look him up again if we were in Nashville.”

“Riley and Victoria have been great from day 1. They walk our puppy twice a day and always leave good, detailed notes about how each walk went. They are very patient with her as she is not great on a leash yet and easily excitable by other dogs. So happy I found them through Rover!”
“Claire has worked wonderfully with Roo! It’s been lovely to have her visit consistently and help me reinforce important training skills I’ve been working on. She gives good updates and pictures too! I’ll definitely invite her to work with Roo in the future!”
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!
“Big thanks to Dale for walking our senior dog on short notice! Great communication from start to finish — we knew our dog was in excellent hands and we would definitely book with Dale again!”
“Torey was fantastic! My wife and I were very anxious to leave our dog home for a two-week trip he couldn't join, but Torey put us right at ease with two meet-and-greets and plenty of updates and pictures. She was also very reachable through the app, which helped us feel comfortable being away. And she even watered our plants for us! Our dog and home were in great condition when we got back, and we're so grateful to Torey for making this as easy as possible for us. We definitely recommend her and will be reaching out next time we need a Rover!”
About: Experience with several different animals, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, birds etc. I have a lab mix of my own, she’s 10, very sweet and eager to make new friends! Currently have full availability Monday through Sunday for boarding or visits! Not working another job so all my attention can be on your fur babies. Live in a house with a very sweet 10 year old girl (my puppy). Dog park nearby and lots of walking routes. I am very vigilant and interactive with pets :)
About: I’ve taken care of many cats and been a previous cat owner. I haven’t owned a dog in a while but I’ve taken care of many in my time! I am a professional musician and a graduate student! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you further baby as much as needed! I tend to care as the client needs! I’ll take and send photos to you and will be sure to make sure they feel safe and are taken care of!
About: I love spending time with animals and going on long walks. I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting throughout the week and can accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide to make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll respect your home’s rules, stick to your pet’s schedule, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and absolutely adore them. I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I am extremely active and love walking with dogs as much as I can. I live in east Nashville and have a flexible schedule I currently work part time so have a very open schedule. I have a car so can easily get around town in a short amount of time. I do not have a fenced yard but am happy to pet sit at the owners home. I am very attentive and make sure to shower every animal with lots of love.
About: Hi there! I'm Thalia, I'm a stay at home mom with lots of love to give your pup. I grew up with dogs and have spent a lot of time sitting for friends dogs over the years while they're out of town. I have a 1.5 year old Havanese named Bonnie, she weighs about 6 pounds and is a ball of energy! She gets along super well with other dogs, part of the reason I'm becoming a sitter on Rover is to give her some temporary playmates. My home in East Nashville is on a quiet street with a large, fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around in. Because I am home during the day I'm able to give frequent potty breaks, lots of attention, and ample play time! I currently work from home, so I have lots of free time during the day to hang with your pups! My daughter loves animals and is a fantastic little helper. I have a fully fenced in yard (over a quarter acre) with ample room for the pups to run & play. Our home is located on quiet street in East Nashville with lots of other families & doggies around!
“Ali was absolutely INCREDIBLE. They consistently went above and beyond to help out while we were away. They were very informative about every aspect of their time with Keegan. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I've had at least one dog since I was in kindergarten and my dream is to one day live on a farm with several! I currently have two dogs, one is 3.5 years old and the other is 14, so I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I also care for my friends' dogs (mostly large breeds) when they travel. The more dogs, the merrier! I currently work at a farm from Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 3:00PM, but this can be flexible to accommodate daily walks, check-ins, etc. I have a decent sized, fenced backyard for my two dogs, and they love having friends over to play! I take my dogs on daily walks, feed them twice a day, and give them lots of attention and time to play.
About: My family has had dogs since I was very young, and I have had my own dog for 3 years now. She is a rescue, and I have had her since she was 6 months old. I work full-time in a bakery and am off most days around 1-3pm. I do have some free mornings as well and would be able to drop by with notice. I live close to East Nashville with my dog, Millie, and cat, Spoon! I live by all the good walking trails. I would love to schedule some dog-walking nearby so that i can take full advantage of all the great weather we are having.
